Guess who's home???

[MeanLaureen]

Hi Everyone!! We are finally home after a wild and wonderful 6 days in WDW. It was wonderful meeting everyone! Disney did an absolutely FANTASTIC job with the event. I was amazed at how well they handled the volumes of people coming through their registers. The lines, although they looked horrible, constantly moved.

The Great Pin Adventure was a blast! Thanks to everyone that attended! We broke a record for the largest DIS meet ever! I hope to have some pictures up later when they get back from being developed.

Even with all the pin "stuff" going on we still got a chance to do a few "Disney" things. Jeff, Trina, Matt and I got to ride the "big" rides like Rockin' Rollercoaster, Splash Mountain, Test Track... and for those of you that came to the WIWI for TOT on Friday and we had to postpone the ride due to the wait.. I DID ride TOT on Sunday, so I held up my end of the bargain. (You can even ask SuzanneB and Tinkerbell129 )

The Jungle Cruise meet and the Adventurer's Club meet were absolutely hilarious. Jeff was made an official member of the Adventurer's Club, and for the right bribe I might tell you what they made him do

Well, time for me to unpack. We will post more details when they aren't all a blur. Actually, I think we need to convince Jeff to write up a trip report!!!

Glad to be back!!

Glad you made it back safe and sound. I had a super time; your hard work in planning the events really paid off...and yes, she wasn't smiling real big on her way over there, but Lauri DID ride ToT That's more than I can say for myself
anyway.... it was lots of fun (tiring too, but very very fun!)

What a wonderful turn out for the pin meet! It was great to see so many happy DIS'ers in one place. Thanks for the beautiful Lanyard and Pin!

Lauri & Matt -

Glad you made it home safe. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the things you did to make this event even more magical than it would have been otherwise for all of us DIS attendees! We all really appreciate your efforts and enthusiasm. I had a great time and you helped make that happen - Thank You again!!

Warmly,

Welcome home, fellow members of the Lanyard Gang (or Pin Freaks, as the case may be )

As for Jeff becoming an AC member...I don't need a bribe, I'm MORE than willing to dish all the dirty details...lol...Who ever knew our own AZJazzy guy could dance like that.....lol

It really was great meeting all you guys !! Here's hoping we'll all be able to meet up again in one of the coming years !!

Another thank you to all the great work Lauri and Jeff did for the Adventurer's. I never made it to every meet, I really tried, but we just couldn't tear Dom away from those trading tables. He never completed 1 map, he was in the building every day trading and gawking.
And that Happy pin dance Jeff does was just a warm up for his Adventurer's dance. That was such a fun night. KUNGALOUSH.............but not if your driving.

who made it to all the great adventure events and what was the extra thing for attending them all, besides tired feet?

 

[NHMickey]

I want to say.....Thank You!!! Sandy and I had a BLAST at the Pin Adventure... Steve is weighs more than I thought ... Can't wait to see some pictures. I wish i could have made more of your events... It was really cool that you guys were awarded the CTT's... You went way above and beyond... And the pin for your meet is going in a new home ... Welcome home... hope the trip was safe.

Sure Peggie blame me!!!! I did manage to complete one map, just before I left on Sunday! I think it was the other Caballeros that couldn't wait to get their pins.

Many thanks to Jeff and Lauri for all their hard work. I managed to make a few of the WitW Meets. Tough to be a Bug was too early after a late night sorry and I was in the middle of a trade for a Mickey Olympic Archery pin when ToT came arround. Hope we can all do it again next year!!
