Hi Everyone,

Today was an amazing day. There were some outstanding parts of the meet that stood out to me.

Brandie - You're cake was amazing! I can't imagine the time it took to bake and decorate. It was truly wonderful.

A cake for the ages!

Meshancorp - the Dole Whip machine was terrific and quite authentic. I couldn't tell the difference. It tasted and looked authentic. Heck, you might as well say it was authentic. I certainly couldn't tell a difference.

Thanks for bringing the machine and ingrediants. It was a brilliant idea.

Dole Whip for Bawb!

World Bouncer - Thanks for setting up the silent auction. There sure was plenty to choose from. The pin trading was also a hit.

To all the people who help setup and clean up, thanks for for everything you did to make the hall look exceptional. Jennz and your family, World Bouncer and your family, and everyone who contributed, THANK YOU! :)

The food was plentiful and delicious. Thanks to everyone for bringing a dish(s). Some of the dishes we enjoyed were the Tusker House Corn Chowder, Kona Stickey Wings, and Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Many DIS children showed up for the meet. They had a terrific time with kids activities. To everyone who helped with the kids activities; Sooze, Jennz, Sarah, and Mary, THANK YOU!! Some of the activities included a hot potato game, face painting, and an "Art of Disney Animation" drawing class.

We had a great time with prizes too. Kids and adult prizes were awarded. Disney gift cards, Disney books, and even a Wall-E robot were given out. A special thanks to Sunshine Girl, Scott, and Tracey who helped with the prize pool! Thanks to everyone who participated in the scavenger hunt.

I really can't put into words how totally fun this meet was. We even got the opportunity to speak with Calypso A Go Go at the Dole Whip Meet for Bawb. We called her during their meet at Aloha Isle inside the Magic Kingdom. We got to speak with Calypso, Kevin, John, and Dianah. It was great speaking with you guys and one of the highlights of the meet! :)

The turn-out was super. We had 80 people show up during the 5 hours the meet took place. With a meet like this it's truly the people who make it fun and enjoyable. It's was such a pleasure meeting many of you for the first time and seeing other familiar faces from meets past, or friends we see or talk with on a weekly basis. I can't wait to do this again sometime.

Finally, here are some random shots from the meet.

It was tons of fun at the meet yesterday! It was very nice to FINALLY be able to put some names to faces!


But I have to say that it was a bit weird actually talking to J-Kim and others who are on the Wednesday night chats...I kept feeling like I needed my Mac in order to chat! :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:

Thanks for pulling this all together for us Aaron and for posting the pictures! The cake was no trouble at all! And i'm just impressed that it was mostly eaten!

That picture just cracks me up! Thanks for the head's up on it Jason! :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:
 

Aaron said many of the folks at the meet are frequent visitors to this board, so thought I would also add my thoughts here that I did on the Meet board....


Well, here at the Keystone Sheraton after a good night sleep and rest. Aaron, I do have to say that you, and all the folks from Indy and nearby area, as well as not so nearby, REALLY, REALLY outdid yourselves. I have been to a lot of meets over the years I have been here on the DIS, and have organized a good number of them. This I think I can comfortably say was the tops. :thumbsup2 Hats off to everyone.

The number of people who showed up, and lots of kids too, about 80 in total as Aaron said, the amount of food, all brought in, and some so VERY creative in the preparation, even a Dole Whip machine, the silent auction, the pins, the games and activities for the kids, and the wonderful hospitality and interaction of so many Disney nuts in one place at one time. :cool1: I had a thoroughly wonderful day.

And Aaron, with the super extension of hospitality of your mom and dad, Janet and Clarence, you, your brother, Joey and his family, my sharing of same extended well into the evening. Your mom and dad sure are one heck of a nice, warm couple, I so enjoyed my evening with them and all you guys.

Maybe during the day, or this evening, I will get up some of the pictures I took during the day yesterday. Now off for a cup of coffee and a morning newspaper downstairs, looking forward to the National Drag races tomorrow.

Once more, thank you Aaron, and everyone, for a most enjoyable day.:thumbsup2

...thanks to so many.

The cake was really good!

Too bad to see it thrown away. The DIS Meet was awesome and my family loved meeting everyone.

A big hats off to ADP and World Bouncer for all their work. The food and games and fun times were awesome and I can't wait for the next one.

Thanks to you all!
 
WOW, looks like a great turnout. Lot of activities and food for days. It really looks like everyone had a great time! Wish I could have been there.....
 
I agree with Dan (sorry Dan!), but I guess we're not that motivated here in Chicago. :laughing: The meet looked fantastic! Jason is a rock star for bringing Dole Whip to the party.

i am just so impressed by everyone involved!!!

you guys are simply incredible!!

thanks Dan and Aaron for sharing your pictures! :goodvibes
 
DH and I threw away what was left of the cake...I certainly didn't want any more of it...especially after it had been sitting out all day...we're bad about cake leftovers at our house. The problem with being an amateur cake decorator...only so much cake can be tolerated! ;)

DH was such a sport about the whole thing. He even donned lime green! :thumbsup2 We both had a great time meeting everyone!
