Hello to all lurkers and lurkettes

[DumboOrBust]

<font face="comic sans ms"> Is there anyone out there who didn't attend Dis-Con I, but plans on attending Dis-Con II? Come out and play. We are a fun group and we would like to get to know you before next December. The more the merrrier. </font>

Hello! Come on out and play.

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

I guess I would qualify. I did not make it to DIS Con I due to financial constraints but have decided to budget for DIS CON II beginning now. I will be making our DVC reservations very soon and I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone. My younger sister is planning to come with me so we will be 2 semi-solo attendees (leaving the guys and kids at home - yay!!!!).

Thanks for the invite to "come out and play"

<font face="comic sans ms"> Welcome, Rhonda. I'm so glad you came out of lurking. It was such a wonderful trip, and I'm sure next year will be wonderful, also. Where do you own DVC? I own at the Boardwalk. We have several DVCers on this board. </font>

I'm also planning to attend the next Dis Con. I'll be traveling with my 10 year old son. I hope other kids his age will be attending.

<font face="comic sans ms"> Welcome, disneyjunkie. There were children at Dis-Con. I saw a variety of ages. I'm sure you and he will have a wonderful time. </font>

I'm a brand new DVC'er at the WLV. But I'm hoping to get into the BWV or the new BCV for DIS-Con. (You guys have to let me know when you start making some phone calls-I have to wait for the 7 months out to get my room there. But I want to know how much trouble you're having getting in.)
disneyjunkie, there were a lot of other kids there. But we were, for the most part, solo attendees. I think that's why we bonded so tightly. We needed each other for company. I know other families did the same thing. Parents with kids hung around together so the kids could have company, too. It really worked out so well for everyone. Nice to see you here! And, you too, Rhonda!
You guys will not believe how much fun you're going to have. Sharing WDW with other Disney addicts is so much fun. We all get so silly and we laugh almost non-stop!
So, where's everyone else?!? I know you're out there! C'mom in!

Welcome, disneyjunkie!

I see you are from Brooklyn. So is my DH. We are down there about once/month lately to visit his mother. She lives on Ocean Pky, not too far from Coney Island. We always go ride the carousel (brass rings!) and the Cyclone if it is open when we visit.

We don't have kids, but I'm sure there will be a number of kids your son's age at DIS-CON.

Welcome to you, too, Rhonda!

I see Barb & Dayna already beat me to posting! Those posts weren't there when I hit reply! I hope we don't overwhelm these lurkers or lurkettes with our enthusiasm!

Thank you for the warm welcomes - they are most appreciated!!

We just bought into DVC (VWL) this past May and are due to take our first trip in March. We will have 100 points left over and dh has agreed that it makes sense for ME to use them for DIS CON II (not sure how I got him to agree so easily - I wonder what he thinks he'll get to do when I am gone, hmm....).

My sister and I are already making tentative plans and trying to decide how many days we can somehow manage to fit into this trip. It seems like so much happened this year before and after the actual convention days that I hate to come too late or leave too early and miss anything. Any advice on this?

Hello to you disneyjunkie also - we'll be newbies together next year!!

Thanks again for your kind messages!
Rhonda

 

[Barb]

Just curious, Rhonda, when in March are you going? I'm at the VWL March 1-8 for the first time ever. We just bought into the DVC in October! I'm taking this trip with my mom.

 

[disneyjunkie]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I've been reading the post from Dis Con 1 and it sounds/looks like everyone had a blast.

Perfectmatch300, the high school I went to is near Ocean Parkway. Can you believe I have never rode the Clyclone! Whenever I look at it my knees get weak.

I want to welcome all the new people to this board too. I hope you are able to attend DISCON2. I am really looking forward to next years event.

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

Barb,

We are arriving in Orlando late the night of the 8th and leaving on the 16th so we will JUST miss you - what a shame!! It would have been fun to meet up with another DVC/DISer while we were there. I am sooo looking forward to our trip (we did the 7 day Disney cruise in May but haven't been to WDW since Dec 1999) as I imagine you are.


Rhonda

WELCOME akasleepingbeauty (Rhonda) and disneyjunkie!

I'm so happy to see both of you. I'll come out and play a little more often once DH goes back to work and DD goes back to school.

 

[lizdotcom99]

I just can't wait!!!

 

[DixieDreamer]

Well, I did not go to Dis Con I - and I am planning to go to Dis Con II - but I haven't been just lurking here either! I have been posting ever since I made the decision to go to DIS CON II.

Actually, I have three trips planned to WDW this year! 2 days before our DCL cruise in March/April, 7 days with DD ('girls only' trip) in June (6/15 - 6/23), and then DIS CON II (going solo!).

Looking forward to meeting everyone at DIS CON!!!

 

[luvdsny]

Welcome Liz and Greg!!!

And Dixie Dreamer, pardon me, but I have forgotton your first name. I am so sorry. Could you please refresh my memory? Thank you. And Welcome to The Convention Board. I'm so happy to hear about another Northwesterner heading to WDW for DIS-Con 2. That is just awesome!!!

 

[DixieDreamer]

I doubt if you have forgotten it.... I probably didn't mention it! My name is Laura!

 

[DumboOrBust]

<font face="comic sans ms"> Welcome to the Dis-Con Board, Laura. </font>

 

[Barb]

Oh, well, Rhonda, I guess we'll meet soon enough at DIS-CON 2.
Hey, Laura, sounds like you have a real plan in motion for 2002! Good for you!
