Indy DIS & DIS Unplugged Meet With Pictures

[JCandKT]

Merrie Poppins, we really enjoyed talking with you at the meet --- hopefully next time it can be for longer!

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Does this mean you're coming to US next time?!?


Or do we just all plan to storm Adventureland once a year!??

I'm game for either plan.

Fun talking with you too!!!

How was the Sky Concert?

 

[ADP]

You all looked like you were having a great time. I think you better make it an annual event!

Here's an idea. How about we plan a meet on a Disney cruise ship....Say, around May 10th?

By the way, how was the castle suite tour?

 

[MenashaCorp]

I'm game for either plan.

If I haven't said it enough, Lisa, MAD props to you for getting the DWFB thing together. Everyone in Indy loved the Dole Whips, which I wouldn't have done without having your meet as inspiration. Personally, it helped make me feel we were all connected and I know Bawb would've loved the idea. It also felt like the kind of thing he'd do.

Mad props as well to ADP for organizing, to everyone else involved. Hearing Podcasters and Dianer live on his phone gave me goose bumps.

Incidentally, if anyone who has read this thread (or who was there) would like to know how/where to get the authentic "same as at WDW" Dole Whip mix, I'll answer in PM, since posting it would involve linking to other sites.

Now THAT sounds like a plan!!!

The castle suite tour was very nice. We were escorted over to the castle from Sleepy Hollow by DVC staff and were then handed over to some lovely CMs from Guest Services that gave us a bit of history about the space used for the suite and some of the details that went into the design.

We were allowed to take as much time as we wanted for photos but were asked not to displace anything or run water in the bathroom (I'm sure they had it ready for whoever the lucky family was that would be residing there that evening). DD forgot her camera back in the room, but a very nice woman on the tour with us took a picture of my family in the parlor area and said she would email it to us.

Once we were shown the entire suite, we went back down in the elevator and that was it. I was a little surprised that there wasn't some type of DVC logo item handed out (only because they've usually done it at past member events).

The CM we were with indicated they would continue using the suite after the YOAMD promo is over, possibly in connection with Give Kids The World or Make A Wish. She wasn't entirely sure but felt they wanted to keep it a "money can't buy" experience. I guess we'll know in a few months.

I have to agree Menasha! Your idea of hooking up with the "Dole Whip for Bawb meet" was fantastic and made both meets extra special! And, then to bring the Dole Whip machine to the meet was a great tribute to Bawb. I wished we could have talked longer so others could have talked to Kevin, John and Dian-er, but it sounded pretty loud and hectic with the rain at the Magic Kingdom.

Everytime I have Dole Whip in the future it will be hard not to think of what you did for the meets, and of course Bawb. Rock on!

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Thanks Jason and Aaron (now stop it before you make me cry!).

I can't wait to meet you and your families in May.

Now the most important question of all -- where on the ship can we get Dole Whips?

Ok Jason...Can you smuggle a Dole Whip machine on board? We could set it up in the Walt Disney Suite and hand them out over the bar.

I posted this on the meet thread, but then I saw this thread!

We had a great time yesterday too. We had to sneak out at about 5:00, so we missed the last couple of hours, but it was great putting names with faces.

I'll add my thanks to ADP (Aaron) along with all of the others. This was a lot of work that you put in! It was amazing!

Some highlights for my DH (Phillip) and I were...

Having a DOLE WHIP (or 2 or 3) (for Bawb) in Noblesville Indiana! Thank you so much to Jason for renting that machine and getting that mix. What a cool surprise!!!!

Meeting Scarlett873 (Brandie) and her DH - who we'll be cruising with on the Podcast Cruise in May!

Meeting MenashaCorp (Jason) and MerriePoppins (Susan) - also fellow future Podcast Cruisers!

Finally meeting Dan Murphy, who has to be the nicest DIS-er of all time. I've been on the DIS for 10 years (yes - I'm an oldtimer) and meeting Dan Murphy has been something I've wanted to do for a long time.

Meeting another DIS "oldtimer" Towncrier and his son and seeing his amazing pin collection!

Sitting with, eating with, and chatting with Disneypirate85 (Shawn and Heather), two of the nicest people I've ever met and a couple we have a LOT in common with, including DVC memberships and an understanding of what's important and why we love WDW!

AND... meeting crazydisneyman, World Bouncer, and all of the other wonderful people we met!

Shhhhhhh.....

Um... It won't be easy, but let's just say I started looking into that some time ago...right after I found the dry mix...

Now as for setting up in the Disney Suites, that'll be entirely up to Messrs Werner, Echols, Klose, and Magi...

Why did I even question this?

Let me know if I can help.

 

[WLfan]

Wow! I'm so impressed. I can't believe you had a Dole Whip machine! Can I get one for my home?! Great job everyone! I was at the Dole Whip meet at WDW. It was great that you guys were able to call! Looks like you all had fun too.

Great...now does this mean that I'll have to smuggle a cake on board?

 

[JCandKT]

Fun talking with you too!!!

How was the Sky Concert?

Tons of fun, actually. It's a great community event --- and we had a GREAT turn-out!

I agree... it was cool to hear the other meet happening LIVE and I totally got all geeked-out hearing John and Kevin and Calypso and Dianer... it was like the whole world got smaller for just a few minutes.

Thanks for the great time... and thank you to all that put it together! I can't wait until next year!!!

As long as it's not a .... never mind

Oh Yes! Please! Please! I'll help. Maybe I can smuggle a layer on the ship inside our fish extender.

 

[scarlett873]

I would hate to be the recipient of a smooshed cake!

Not quite sure how I could do that...lol
