How many DISers did you know BEFORE last year's DISCON???

[nativetxn]

I had met some of my fellow moderators at WDW the May before DISCON and I met Taryn and Snowwark at the DIS meet at Niagara Falls in August before DISCON, but that's all.

The neat thing about DISCON for me was meeting new people. The interesting part was that I felt as though I'd known these people forever when I was just meeting them for the first time.

The magic of DISCON, huh? I can't wait to meet new friends at DISCON 2002

How many DISers had you met before DISCON last year?

 

[PandyPaws]

Before DIS CON, quite a lot...from DIS Meets and of course the Cheerleader meet at the Swan/Dolphin the previous July

 

[Dan Murphy]

OMGoodness, Kath, a lot. Probably several hundred. Some only once at a meet, some many times over. Good question.

 

[mickeyfan1]

to say, one , but that's ok, because now I get to put faces to the names. It was Figgy, the Pin Trader/Collector. We met at DL last year at the Diz Pals Weekend in the Park. If any of the other Diz Pals are also Dissers, then maybe I have met them, but I don't think so. I don't even know how many Dissers are in AZ, I have seen one other person with AZ in their side bar.

It's taking toooooo lonnnnnng to get here, HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before last year's DISCON, I'd never met anyone face to face. Boy, has that changed!

 

[Patrick IL.]

Face to Face, probably local Chicago/ Illinois Disers and SSB...

 

[nativetxn]

Did you meet SSB before DISCON, Patrick? I met SSB and Dan in May. I didn't meet Pandy or Steve until DISCON though. That was when I met you too

 

[Patrick IL.]

I met SSB back in May of 01, we did a day at AK together during our first trip down. First Diser I actually met was NancyIL, we met up for lunch on the way down to visit my son at school. Next was the Chicago group.

I would have to say before Dis Con I had actually met about 40 -

edited because I can't count or type

 

[vickyBaby]

None.

 

[Princess Michelle]

I wasn't officially at DISCON last year but I was there the first day so I'm going to answer this question. I knew 4 DISers before. Just in that one day I met 6 more and talked to 2 on the phone.

I can't wait to see how many more I meet this year.

 

[vickyBaby]

Me me me. You're gonna meet me Michelle.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Looking forward to it too Vicky!

I had only met a few DISers but none of them were at DIS CON last year....but.... I am looking forward to seeing everyone I know now from last year and from the meets I've been to this year.....it's going to be a blast Kath! See ya there!

 

[CDoobee]

We had a St. Louis DIS meet in August, 2000 where I met: Wheelsie, Becka and DH, FriskyKitten and family, RafikiRafikiRafiki and family and ???

AHEM, Kath, you met Kevin and I last May, 2001 also!!
In addition to Kath, we met Marsha, Dan, JayPD, and several others who I DO know the names of, but I'm having a senior moment!!!!

I also met a lot of the Chicago area DISers at my first Chicago area meet in August, 2001atrickIL and Ellen, NancyIL, Dopeygirl, KimRaye and family, December99 and family, Brisully, Crissup, and ???

I feel so bad that I can't think of the names of the others! I see the faces in my mind, but I'm terrible with names!!!

Looking forward to seeing all these people again, in addition to the several more I met at DIS Con, and meeting LOTS more!!

Oooops, Debbie you're right, I met you in May before DISCON

 

[bashful64]

Before DISCON last year I hadn't met any DISers.

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

We had only found the DIS about 2 weeks before Dis Con and had no idea it was even going on. But we were there at the same time and invited ourselves to Dan Murphy's MK tour for Princess Michelle on her birthday (since mine was the very next day). It was so neat meeting Dan and Michelle and Pandy Paws (Donna) and her DS! We had no idea that we would be so welcomed--especially after inviting ourselves along (mom would have SO disapproved)! Now we know what a wonderful family we have become a part of and can't wait to meet and put a face to so many of the great people we have met here!! See you in 3 weeks!!!!!!!

And a GRAND time that it was.... we even cracked open a couple o' FOSTERS at the AK!

Hrmmm..... no idea really... maybe 50-100 .... back then... but think that SSB had caught up with Dan Murphy now!
