Great pictures and stories! I only got to hang out with everybody on Thursday, but it was great to see everybody even for a short while. Looks like you all had lots of fun, can't wait to see more!

Cbel---what is all that fancy dancy stuff with changing colors in the quote.

::: raising hand :::: Ooh Ooh, I know I know!!!

Cristabel color coded your quote and her answers so we could tell what she was responding to. (very clever, Cristabel!)

I am so envious that some of our roommates are still there. Of course, with how tired I was last night and how sleepy I was driving home...if I was still there now, I would probably be in traction or something!!

We did the Segway Tour @ DCA today. We had to be there at 7am, which really was 6am!! We were all sooo tired, but it was a lot of fun. After that, I was wiped out.

Does anyone know who gave us the CD's? I remember thanking the idividual...but who was it? I was listening to it today in my car...quite fun!!

I agree! It is so much fun. I listen to it & just smile. Even my daughter said it was a good cd! Jane gave it to us.

Well, sadly, I'm home But I had a great time!!!!!! I just wish I could have spent more time with more people, but I guess there's always next year. Thanks to all of the organizers of all of the events. We loved the pizza party and the hunt. So fun and creative!
When Callie gets home, I'll let her describe what I think was the best part of the trip. The picture was taken on her camera, so I don't have a copy of it, but I will say that it involves our boyfriend!

Looking forward to seeing it.

Oh hahaha! You guys are awesome!

You gotta come next year!

I am back home after an awesome weekend! THANK YOU to everyone for being so kind. I am tired after spending two VERY FULL days in the parks. But everything was fabulous! Can't wait to see everyone's pictures and I will post some also (if I can figure out how! )
I enjoyed meeting most of the ladies and only wish I could have spent more time with everyone. But there is always next year, right?
And thank you Debra for being an awesome roomie! Hope you had a great flight home!

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

A big big thank you to everyone who made this event so magical!

THANKS TO:

The Divas who worked so hard to plan and decorate and run the pizza party... Cheryl and Michelle and Stacie, who ran the tote exchange with such panache. So much work for you guys to make it run so smoothly. Also all the ladies who put thought and care into choosing or making their totes... and of course Beth, who always had this lovely way about her that made you feel instantly relaxed and welcome.

Jen for the magnet memento, Callie for making me a name card when she should have been packing, Jane for the awesome CD, Steph for the itinerary reminders.

Stacey and Amy and Steph for waiting for me in the lobby as I first arrived so I wouldn’t have to find my way to Ariel’s alone. (special thx to Stacey, for showing me how Buzz is done!!)

Tracey for being such a wonderful, perfect roommate more organized than even my DH, and for reading me posts off the board late at night... (and all your hard work on VIP).

Theresa for the interesting conversations...

Heather for being my ride wimp buddy and for showing me Fantasmic!

Kelly and Rosemarie, Molly, Kerry for being fun dinner companions at Carnation (will we ever find out the identity of that suited man with the bald head..?).

Also loved meeting Dawn and Sally, Debra, Donna, Melody, the very sweet and wise Mary Jo and anyone else I neglected to mention. At the end of Friday evening, it was so nice to get a warm farewell outside BB from Amy, Jane, Kerry, Tracey, and Heather. Jane, I just might be able to get DH to go along with what you suggested.

I joined this group only recently but read back on much of this thread to learn of the trials and joys of many of you. My big regret is that I didn’t get a chance to talk to all of you, as I was only there two days. Everyone seemed like they had a good story behind them.

Thanks for being so welcoming. What a truly great group of women!

Can’t wait to hear how the scavenger hunt and Segway tour went...

You gotta come next year!

Haha, I would love to come on the girl's trip, but there's just one litttttle qualification I don't meet.

What an eloquent post. You said it so much better than I could, and thanked everyone for all the wonderful things they did for all of us. I loved every bit, and the special touches. My magnet is on my fridge, and I've already played my cd several times - just love it. Also, thank you for the laminated phone numbers. They came in so handy this morning when I started to panic and was able to call Stacie before the Segway tour.

Haha, I would love to come on the girl's trip, but there's just one litttttle qualification I don't meet.

Oops

Well, it's a brave man who can post on the ladies' thread.

 

[QueenDoOver]

Hi everyone!

I had so much fun and I also wanted to thank Cheryl, Stacie, Michelle, and Tracey for the wonderful job they did planning out this pizza party.

I really just have to clarify, because I can't take one iota of credit for the wonderful party that Cheryl, Stacie and Michelle planned. I was but an extra grunt that showed up and helped set up the last couple of hours. That really was an awesome event I will add my thanks for all your work in planning so much fun for us.

 

[jordansmomma]

Oh man I am finally home. Started laundry & I am exhausted!!
I had such a fabulous time!!
I love, love, loved the Segway tour today!! It was AMAZING!!!

 

[mechurchlady]

That is me with the burgundy hand. I ate cold nachos at 12:30 am and was having bad burps at 5:30 am so it had to be wheat reaction or food poisoning. It is Sunday so now I know that is was a mild cross contamination of wheat or wheat added to the corn to soften it.

I was so not into who is who that I did not know that the Mary Jo was on my team but did not that the old lady with the bangles was very nice and having fun. I think Ronald McDonald could have been on my team and I would not have known. I did know I was very comfortable around her and the older lady which is rare and pleasurable.

There is more but for now I am so tired and the fun will live on in me. Toady I end this journey with the knowledge that "I know where all of the Disney Magic is kept. It is in the hearts of the CMs." and they make my lonely days bright and when being disabled is hard they are there to lend a hand literally as in the time they applauded me on the canal boat, lol.

Right now I am so tired and hurting and overwhelmed with CM magic.

The fireworks were awesome and I beat the crowd tonight and walked righ on to Buzz and waited about 10 seconds before boarding, just kept waddling at top waddling speed, lol. I was so lucky.

 

[kelmac284]

Well it is SUPER late but I guess I am still on that "high" LOL. But anyway I just wanted to read and catch up with those that have posted so far. I have SO much to catch up on tomorrow. I have to download my pics and then try to figure out my photopass deal. I only have a few pics but remember I am a computer/photopass moron so I may need to pm my number to Cheryl or somone LOL.

But anyway we had a GREAT time and for those of you who may not of know there was a time there where we almost didn't come cuz I had some stuff going on at home and I wasn't sure if I could Beth and my mom convinced me to come and I am SO glad I did.

Cheryl I had a GREAT time meeting you. You are a ball of fire and so much fun. Didn't get to spend as much time with you as some of the others but I still am glad we met and was lots of fun and look forward to more visits!!

Cristabel I didn't get to spend much time with you either but I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and hope that we can spend more time together in the future!!

StaceritaI also very much enjoyed meeting you and although we didn't get to hang out a long I had a lot of fun when we DID hang out and hope we get to do it more on future trips!!

Linda I also really enjoyed meeting you and hanging out with you and getting to know you a bit more than we do on the boards and hope to get to know you better both on the boards and at future meets!!

Beth I am SO glad that we finally got to meet and I only wish that we had had more things that we did together but the stuff that we DID do I had a blast and I just want to thank you for ALL the work you put into this meet and I so appreciate everything you have done and I look forward to more in the future!!

Callie Even though we barely got to hang out I am hoping that we get to do that more in future meets and it was great to FINALLY get to meet in person and you and your hubby did GREAT jobs on the lanyards and THANK you so much for that!!

Michelle I SOOO enjoyed all the time we spent together as well as all the work that you did on the pizza party and anything else that you may have contributed to that I may not have known about. Mom and I really had fun with you and the others and we look forward to hanging with you again in the future!!

Steph It was so great to meet you in person and I really enjoyed the time that I was able to spend with you and I look forward to spending more time at future meets and talking to you on the boards!

Stacielee I had really hoped to be able to talk with you more but unfortunately it never worked out. But thank you for all the work you are doing on the photopass and anything else you may be helping with that I may not know about and I hope that we can continue to talk on the board and hopefully more at future meets!!

Jen I really enjoyed getting to meet you in person and had a lot of fun hanging with you this weekened and getting to know you better and hope to get to see you again at future meets!

Mel Girl I just love you to death and mom and I had the BEST time with you and probably you and I's ride on Tower was one of my most favorite things! LOL! I want to thank you for all your hard work on the scavenger hunt and everything else you probably did and I look forward to talking to you on the boards and at future meets!!

Mary Jo Mom and I just fell in love with you on the scavenger hunt and I don't think I have to tell you what you meant to us You are the nicest person and I just wish we had seen you more after the hunt because I wanted to say goodbye but we REALLY enjoyed meeting you and spending time with you at the pizza party, the breakfast and the hunt!! I look forward to seeing you online and hopefully at future meets!!!

Capri Girl ever since the first day we shared the ride in the cab we hit it off I thought and I had a GREAT time with you! I was so sad to see you leave today and I don't know about you but I had a GREAT time! I really enjoyed getting to know you and I look forward to future meets!! See you on the boards!!

Amy Sue Girl you just kill me. I know we didn't spend a lot of time together but from day one at the pizza party you had me in stitches. You are one funny lady and I had a GREAT time getting to know you better! Hope to be able to spend more time with you at the next meet!

Jill I don't know if I even officially met you at the pizza party but I wish I had or if I did I wish we had talked more. That is one of my goals for the next meet is to spend more time with some of the people I didn't get to talk to THIS time. But I hope to get to do that in the future!

CalifgirlI know we only spoke briefly as well but it was nice meeting you and I hope we get to speak again soon as well!

Wendy Girl you KNOW I loves you and to me the best part was our night at the bar when we just sat and talked. Me you, Jen and Capri. That was nice. I think we need a few more kick back times like that where everyone can get to know eachother a little better. But who knows. But I am glad we finally got to talk and hopefully we can talk more. Hope to see you soon! And I can't forget thanks for ALL your hard work on the scavvy hunt too!!!!

January Girl besides Capri you were my other partner in crime of course and Mel. I think we had a blast. It was so great meeting you guys and I am glad that we all got to know eachother better!! Can't wait to do this again!!

Donna It was SO nice meeting you as I said and LOL about the "bald guy". I still think that was Vin Diesel LOL. Of course later we heard both Brad Pitt AND Arnold S was in the park so he may have been private PI for one of them. But it was still fun trying to figure it out! But I had a great time talking with you and hope to see you again!!!

Debra Girl I had such a good time with you! You are so much fun and I enjoyed every minute we spent together. I hope you come to the next one cuz I really enjoyed our time together!!

[MotoXPrincess99]

Good Morning! I am back home about to leave for work. I cant wait to see everyone's pictures. I had such a great weekend. Next year I'm planning to stay for the whole time. The pizza party sounded like so much fun! I am so glad that I got to finally meet all of you ldies.

There was someone who asked me if I liked motocross when we were gathering to take the group shot on Saturday morning. I'm not sure who it was but we never got to talk. If you read this PM me! I'll be going to Glen Helen in May too!

Hey motoxprincess we were at the carnation cafe about the same time, at opening yesterday! I ran into a couple ladies on Friday as we were heading down mainstreet, well really close to the city hall building. My kids got into innoventions sat evening, so at some point it was working again!

As we were heading towards DCA there was a slu of ladies, I'm assuming it was the "girls" but my kids were rushing me, so I did not have a chance to stop and see. . . .

can't wait to read the trip reports from you ladies!

I was the one with the red hair and the tiara. White hooded sweatshirt. I was there with my mom.

My mom said she saw you at Taste Pilots Grill today. Sorry I missed you.

Yes, we chit hatted while we waited in the LONG line.

 

[kelmac284]

I don't know why this didn't post but I'll try this again.

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

Girls - those photos look like you guys had such a blast!

I really enjoyed coming by Cafe Orleans and meeting several of you and seeing familiar faces like Cheryl and Michelle! I'm so sorry I missed most of the rest of you. I'll try to take more time next year!

Stacerita - I would love to get a copy of the photos you took at the Cafe!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Here's a picture from the Cove Bar last night.

 

[Vixen]

more more more keep them coming

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

In case you guys missed them back on pg 196, I edited post my post 2936 & added a couple of you tube videos where we're getting our instructions for the scavenger hunt, and where the winners are announced.

I wish I had done that for the pizza party - the tote bag exchange was sooo fun and funny!
