Living vicaroiusly through the MouseFesters

I had an absolutely fabulous time this weekend!!!!!! Thank you to Mindy, Tonya, Brandie, Aaron, Annette and everyone else I met for making Mousefest and the TSM meet so special. Now I am looking forward to the podcast cruise more than ever!
 
:wave2:

Sorry for the lack of pics the last day or so...I was having FB and iPhone issues. But I did my best...

I've got more pics here and there to post. I'll figure out what, if any, that I can post from TSM. I don't remember what pics I took...I will figure out what I can do so that others can see. I think my pics focused more on the surroundings and not so much of the dessert party itself. But i'll see what i've got...

I'm not sure when to expect more flattie pics from Mindy's adventures since she's got no iPhone and no computer...so be patient! I'm sure you're getting into all kinds of trouble!

The people that I met this weekend are amazing. Alicia is just about the most adorable thing that I think i've ever met. She and her daughter have the most bright, beautiful, contagious smiles ever. For those that haven't met them yet...you're in for a real treat!

Annette is just one of the nicest people on the planet. We had so much fun together!!

Tonya is such a down to earth and wonderful person. She was so much fun to hang out with! And I think she had a ton of fun with the flatties too...she was always one of the first to help prop them up and to check what you guys were chattering on about on FB!

Shelly...Kim...Aaron...and all the others that we played with were just incredible.

Hi Rick and Lori!! :wave: Lori found me right away at DATW. Someone came up behind me and asked "So who do I have to outpost to get a drink around here?" I whipped around and wasn't completely sure who she was at first...and then she said something about green hair and I threw my arms around both Rick and Lori! What a fun, fun, fun couple they are!!

And Mindy...why on earth was I ever nervous about meeting her? Maybe it was that whole Ursula thing...but let me tell ya...she's an amazing person. She was texting and calling me when I arrived and was trying to figure out where I was...when we finally spotted each other, we ran up the street to each other and hugged and carried on as if we were old friends. She saw me off this morning and it was hard to say goodbye...I just waved and ran to the car before the tears fell.

I have never fell right into step with a group of people before in my life. I am honestly a quiet, shy, reserved person. Now once you get to know me...then you're in for it. But this weekend...I forced myself away from the wall. I was the first to walk up and throw my hand out for introductions...and it helped me so much! But then again...it was pretty easy with these guys! :grouphug:


You guys are in for a real treat on the podcast cruise! Now let's all keep our fingers crossed that Annette wins a podcast cruise...assuming there's still one to be given away, of course...:thumbsup2 Otherwise...Flat Annette might find her way into my suitcase for some mayhem aboard the Wonder!!! :rolleyes1


And she's seen what I can do with a couple of flat people...:rotfl: Are you SURE you'd want to be one of them? :rotfl2:
 

Brandie it sounds like you had a great time. I am so sorry I had to miss it. Thanks for the flat adventures it was so much fun seeing your craziness with them. You will have to do flaties part two for those of us who cant make it to the cruise.
 
I just want to say again, Thank You Brandie!:worship:

What a wonderful friend you are for including us in your vacation. I can't wait to meet you and the rest of our DIS friends in May.

I have to share something. Since I've been at home, it's been hard to keep up my friendships, so I turn to the DIS a lot. Probably more than I should, but I just can't help it. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. From listening to me complain, to celebrating the birth of our 3rd child. You have become a part of my family, and I can't wait to give each of you a big hug.:grouphug:

I'm not a hugger, but in your case I'll make an exception! :grouphug:

:hug: I am the very same way. Since moving to Indianapolis, i've not been able to maintain friendships with people. I socialize with my co-workers...and go to school...and that's about it. I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful group of people whom I am proud to call my friends.

I'm not a hugger, but in your case I'll make an exception! :grouphug:
Oh dude...you are so getting hugs. Get over it. ;)
 
Hi gang,

I just wanted to say it was great hanging out with you guys. Thanks to all of you for a fabulous time this weekend. The DATW was really fun and I hope we can do it again sometime (is there such a thing as drink around the cruise ship)? :laughing: I think Corey has that covered. At first coming to Disney World by myself without my family, and not knowing what to expect was kind of tough, but after meeting all of you I felt like I just met my friends from high school and we picked up right where we left off.

Kim, Shelly, Mindy, Tonya, Annette, Yvet, Emiele, Brandie, Paul and Alicia thanks for hanging out with me. It was a blast!

Lori and Rick thanks for the snowman beads. You guys rock!
 
Brandie & Mindy,

I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to do this for all of use who had to stay home.:thanks: It really did make it fun for all of use at home. I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped you.:thumbsup2 I can't wait to meet all of you on the Podcast Cruise.:goodvibes
 
I am home and have (as of 6 p.m.) the last Flatties pic since Mindy won't be home until later this week. It is of all of the podcasters during the Tree Lighting meet and greet. As soon as I smudge, overlay, and distort John, Kevin and Pete's faces I will post the picture. (If any of the other podcasters want to remain facially anonymous, please let me know ASAP.)

I am gonna miss hangin' with the Flatties. :sad2: And I am going to miss hangin' with all my now real life in the flesh friends even more. :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

Sounds like you had a wonderful time - I hope one day I am in the right place to meet all my cyber friends :hug:

I just need a cyber pal to take me as a flattie on the Podcast cruise unless

a - I can win a cruise

b - Santa really does make dreams come true :confused3

What a nice thing to say. We enjoyed spending time with you as well Brandie. :hug: You're post was dead on correct. Everyone was great. The pod casters and Disers were all welcoming and nice as could be! We feel like we spent the weekend with a bunch of old friends. We're looking forward to the cruise more than ever now. And I have to say to Aaron.......don't feel bad about the results of the TSM ride, you can have a rematch anytime:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
Good Morning Everyone:

My girls and I are back. We're exhausted!!! It was so great meeting everyone, but I WISH I could have met more of you and hung out with you longer. I have to agree with what everyone said too. I felt like I was with old friends.

Now I want to go on the CRUISE!!!

I'm too tired to type, but I'll check in later.
 
Just wanted to pop in and say it was great meeting my friends at TSM!! Some of you are little "flat" but I am sure hanging out with your VERY FUN Dis friends you will be well rounded soon!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
 
So here I am back in the office. How do I respond to people when they ask what I did this weekend? :rotfl2:
 
Thanks Jeff and Kathy. You're right. It's gonna stay a secret btw me and my DIS friends. No one else would understand why I "walked" around Disney for three day in red heels!
 
Hey, where's the picture of AskTracy with the Flatties?

It was great to meet so many of you for the first time and a few of you again.
