Indianapolis DIS Meet - Come One Come All!

[hoosiergirl7]

I so miss Indiana. I couldn't get out of there fast enough at 21 but after 12 yrs as a military wife on the move every 3 yrs I can't wait until retirement because we're coming back!!! And only 3 more years until we do!!! Granted we've also lived in the South all but 2 of those years so I'm hating the summer heat (it's miserable). I'll take the snow over the heat that starts in May and lasts until October any day.

I definitely want to keep in touch with Indy DISers so that maybe one day I'll get to meet some of you.

I know what you mean. When I was in the Navy I couldn't get out of Indiana fast enough, but boy was I glad to get back when I got discharged.

I left to go to Washington, DC for grad school. I lived out there for seven years, but it never felt like home. We moved back just before our first DD was born and I've never regretted it! Hope to welcome you home soon, HoosierGirl!

Aaron:

I'll definitely be bringing a giant tub of trail mix/candy mix (M&Ms, candy corn, salted peanuts, etc.). I know that doesn't fit into one of the major food groups though so - as the event nears - I'll be willing to pick up the slack and bring whatever side item we need.

Wow! Checking in and a lot has been going on! I have been swamped at work this week.

TDS is having a sale this weekend. If I make it over I will pick up some prizes.

I am not sure what food I will bring, we have a 2 hour drive, I am guessing, we are in southern In. by Louisville.

Sounds like a lot of fun!!

We were stationed in the Baltimore-DC area for 2 years and I loved it!!! If I wasn't so attached to my family then we'd be retiring there in a heartbeat. Alas, family is more important (DH's parents didn't see it that way as they stayed in TX after retirement and have no intention of moving back to IN. Their loss not ours.) and holidays without family is getting old - fast!!!

 

[JCandKT]

I'm so excited about our dis-meet! We'll bring a bunch of sides since JC and I love to cook!

Is anyone going to see the fireworks (if it stops raining, that is) in downtown Indy tonight?

Our family would definitely like to try and come down to Indy! I'm not sure what our plans are yet for that weekend, I have to check the Purdue football schedule, but we'll keep an eye on this thread and hopefully see you guys then!

Thanks for the PM Dan!

I see you guys are headed to the World this month. We'll be there July 14th -

Yep, we'll be there July 26 - August 1. Just the two of us! The kids are staying with grandma... this will be our 10th wedding anniversary. We are excited, but always second guessing our resort choice right up until we leave. It drives me nuts!!

I'm sure whichever resort you choose will be wonderful. Sometimes too much choice can creat insanity.

We did WDW in July back in 2003 on our first trip to the world. Never again, too hot and humid for me. Give me January weather anytime over the summer. Have a great time everyone.

Hi Everyone,

We've been fortunate enough to secure our location. The meet will be held at the Hamilton County 4-H fairgrounds. The building in which the meet will be held is called the Annex building. I've updated the initial post with additional information, so please check it out.

I understand this location isn't the most convenient for everyone, but I hope you will still be able to make it. The opportunity to meet fellow DISers, DIS Unplugged fans, theme park junkies, and Disney World fanatics like us will be a real treat!

The building does have a kitchen in case you need to warm up your pitch-in items when you arrive at the meet. Bathroom facilities are also located in the building. There is plenty of green space outside as well in case the kids wish to run and play. The space inside the building is probably larger than we need; however, with kids activities and adult activities it will be nice to be able to spread out. Tables and chairs are also included to setup our pitch-in items and sit and enjoy each others company.

Also, I've updated the initial post with a list of kids activities. Anyone who wishes to voluntear to run or assist with any of the activities please submit a post and let us know.

Don't forget to let us know what you intend to bring for a pitch-in item to the meet. I've been updating the initial post with pitch-in items so we don't duplicate any of the food items. Please check back often as more information will be posted as we get closer to the meet.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Awesome!!! It is more than convenient for me! I only live about 15 minutes away, so we are looking forward to it! I am still trying to decide what to bring, but I will let you know so you can post!

Very tempting indeed!! We havent been to Indy to see mil in a long time (she lives in Fisher!) so maybe I can figure something out!!

Thanks for the planning!!
