How do you get into a fight in Disney World that it gets to the point that you need security?! I mean, I understand getting into disagreements and stuff, but a fight??? Sheesh.

Todd and Paul are... umm... yeah. I believe the word I'm looking for here is "creepy". LOL.

Your Epcot pictures are wonderful. Note to self: this is why you go in the daylight! Hahha.

Sounds like you had lots of fun Dis meets. Maybe by the time I plan my next trip I will have gotten over myself enough to plan something like that. I am so self-conscious. In print, I can talk your ear off. In person... eh. Not so much. But it looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!!

 

[MeMom]

I am so glad you guys got together. I haven't read responses, so if no one has answered or you haven't remembered DIS names - Happydog and SoonerGirl. I have forgotten a lot of DIS names, too, as they have drifted away. I bet Jennifer could keep most of us captivated with those stories of her world travels.

Pretty sure Tracy prances around Epcot any time she wants to these days. We need to send that medium lady that has the TV show to meet us at the back gate one day. She is either the real deal or she has hundreds of random people doing a convincing job of being surprised. I have seen it a few times, and most of the people I have seen seem genuinely amazed and not playing games.

It's good that Denny is getting more comfortable with you meeting crazy internet friends.

 

[Pinkocto]

I haven't bought mine yet but I will today or tomorrow. I don't have any long trips planned for this year but a bunch of little ones. It will be a huge savings from buying regular park tickets. I thought about waiting until the regular AP deal comes back but I can't remember what the price for that was through DVC. For a PAP w/o the discount it's $803, for an AP it's $675. I didn't renew within my window so I need to get something. I probably won't use the waterparks much but I like having the option.

Are the tickets through AAA a good price? I know I would feel some sort of panic if I was staying near WDW and couldn't go in, unless I had completely planned doing other things for the trip like it sounds you have. One of these years I do want to go down w/o passes so I can finally do Universal and Seaworld. I feel bad spending money for other parks when I've already paid to go into WDW. You'll get the magic of the resort but a different kind of vacation if that makes sense.


Love that you had a great breakfast. Too cute about Denny being impressed by Jen

I know FP+ gets a bad rap by some but I absolutely love it. Change plans on the fly and still get into your favorite rides without the stress of needing a paper FP. I love it.

 

[MEK]

Ooh, my mother in-law's favorite breakfast dish is lox, so it's good to know the Wave has that. Will help convince her to go to Disney one day.

I LOVE Lox - serioulsy SO yummy! Oh if I could have that sandwich right now! And don't forget, Cape May Cafe serves lox as well!

Hey, unexpected pool time is always a win in my book.

And you're a Florida girl. Imagine being a north east girl with no pool during the summer. You say pool and I am SOOOOOOO there!

It's nice that the reservation system had TT and Soarin' available for later that afternoon. I miss being able to reserve both of those attractions at the same time.

I guess because it was test phase it was still available - then on top of that it helped that they were still allowing you to pick both. It really was a win-win that day!

Lens caps can be the hardest things to keep up with. I'm forever losing mine.

Tell me about it. I would drop mine all the time, but that is seriously the first time I had one completely roll away and disappear. Funny now, but it wasn't at the time. I now have those lens cap holders so they can't get away from me - EVER!

That slushie from France looks delicious! Perhaps even better than the Grand Mariner.

It was really tasty and a good adult beverage for the first of the afternoon cause you KNOW there were more to follow!

Ouch! We still have some non-expiring days left on tickets that we plan to use for our next trip, but when the day comes that I have to buy tickets again, I'm going to have sticker-shock, I know it.

OMG! TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!!!!!! I remember when I joined DVC and my first AP renewal was like $330. I just can't believe we are going to be paying something like $175 more if we both want to get the PAP offer (then we did in October 2012). That is a HUGE increase. My concern is if they keep increasing at this rate we will barely want to pay for tickets. It's insane.

This is too funny. But I can see why.

Yeah - it was kind of cute because I had no idea he was crushing on her like that until after we left. Denny usually don't make too much of a fuss about anyone or anything, so I KNOW he was clearly impressed.

He met me and Captain_Oblivious on the same occasion and he still has trepidation??? Okay, yeah, maybe that didn't help the situation.

See - here's the thing with you guys - you live local and he met you HERE, so it was almost NOT a DIS meet for him. He could just pretend that he was meeting some of my coworkers or something like that. But in Disney its really a DIS meet. So, yeah, it's a little different. Well, for him anyway.

I lost one of mine a while back and the replacement doesn't fit quite as well. Not the same. So annoying.

That IS annoying. Fortunately my replacement fits great - same as the original. But I had another complete week of vacation to go with only one lens cap and that could have ended very wrong. Fortunately it didn't!

 

[GoofyFan1515]

for a DISmeet! Those are always really great, and you have some wonderful ones.

What a gorgeous day, and you got some really great pictures on your walk back to Boardwalk! Definitely a great opportunity to take a break at the pool, even the scary clown one!

Your adult beverage in France looks really yummy! Did I miss you saying what it was??? Too bad about losing your lens cap. I have done that before and it is a real pain having to juggle one between two lenses.

on getting the great table and the timing getting to watch them bring out all the barges for IllumiNations!

 

[Tracy161]

Eeeck, those chairs!!! And I didn't know they had names!!!

Your Epcot pictures are absolutely gorgeous... Sideways picture mood or not I'm not generally a fan of beer but I would definitely consider the grapefruit one!!!

 

[KatMark]

I'm glad you had such a good DIS meet with Jen and Michelle. I met Michelle on Mark's 60th birthday trip and she is a sweetheart (only wish we'd had more time to visit).

I keep thinking of putting The Wave on our list and it just never gets there.

Nice pictures of the scary chairs.

And nice pictures of the pool (although I'm still avoiding that pool in September and sticking with the quiet pool). I'm glad you got a little relaxing time.

Oh my your drink looks yummy in France. What is it? I don't think I've ever seen that one. Is it at the same stand as the Grand Mariner Slush?

And the beer flight! Mark would be so after that. I know Nicki loves that grapefruit beer.

Can't wait to see if you keep the kids while the others ride TT.

 

[MEK]

How nice to have some "free" time!

It's very odd to find yourself with unexpected free time in Disney. When does THAT ever happen?

I HATE those chairs!!

Most people do! That's probably why I post them. To freak people out. In a weird sort of way I am growing fond of them. I know. Crazy.

Your drink did look yummy! Cute pic with it by the painting stuff!

It was a yummy drink and I'm glad you like my adult drink photograph composition. A lot of thought went into that.

I bet I would like that grapefruit beer. Is it only there for F&W?

As far as I know it is only there for F&W unless they added it to F&G (although that's probably just wishful thinking on my part).

I want to go back this October soooo bad! But we're waiting until after Christmas to brave the crazy crowds. I hope they get the app for FP+ working better by then!

I hope so, too! I would really like to go at Christmas time but we are pretty much committed to October. I really need to swing a Christmas trip soon since its already been two years since we've done Christmas and another will pass us by in 2014.

We considered the PAPs with the DVC offer too. We were all set to do it. Then we realized, we didn't really need the water parks option, as we might do it one day EVER. So when you look at the regular AP with the DVC discount, it's virtually the same price. Now, while I rarely pass up anything for "free", I would have had to shell out ALL that $$$$ this month, when we have other big bills to deal with. It will be much easier to stomach that cost later in the year, and it can be a Christmas present for the kids, who don't know that we're going.

Are they the exact same price? I really wasn't sure about that. I thought the regular AP might end up being more and then when they jack up the prices AGAIN! I am really feeling the sticker shock. Your logic makes sense. I am so torn!

ETA - Oh, I forgot to comment on your DIS breakfast! I have heard good things about the Wave for breakfast, but not as much good about dinner. Have you ever had dinner there?

Yes - I have actually eaten dinner there three times and each time it has been very good. I think I had fish twice and beef once! The food has been consistently good.

What fun to get together. Jen looks familiar - probably from FB. Glad Denny had fun too. You might just have a convert on your hands now!

Probably! And, yes, great to see Denny on board with the whole DIS meet thing!

I haven't yet...I'm going to wait to see if it gets better as I lose weight. I have 5 months tll Disney. If it's not better in like, 3 months, I'll go to a dr. I can't imagine how painful an injection in the foot would be though... It's just weird though, I feel like I don't have the normal symptoms of plantar fasciitis! And I was also telling my mom about it, and she said she used to get heel pain too when she was a lot heavier, but doesn't anymore so I'm HOPING it's just that! I'll keep you updated!

Yes -please do keep me updated. I do think weight plays a factor in heel problems and PF definitely hits the heel. At least try inserts in your shoes. Seriously - they have made my PF so much better and I think the reason I have it is because I have put on weight. What a drag!

Anyway, great update! Another fun Dismeet!

Thanks! It was a great DISmeet. It was so fun to meet Bill & Grace one night and then turn around and meet Michelle and Jen the next day! Both meets worked out great!

I'm so in love with the Boardwalk...I really need to stay there someday, I know I keep saying that, but really! I wish they would come out with a really good discount, like 40% off rooms like they used to have, but sadly, I think those days are over!

I think they are, too! Such a bummer. I feel like everything Disney is just so expensive. The Boardwalk is a beautiful resort and it makes me happy that I bought my DVC when I did.

Oooh, I love the Epcot part of this update because I'm SO excited for Food and Wine!!! I can't wait to have that red slushie from France back in my life...and all that beer from Germany! I have to try the grapefruit beer if they have it this year, I know you always rave about it!

The grapefruit beer is amazing! You definitely must try it. So refreshing! And that slushy was SO delish!

I feel like I'm going to have such a problem with my FP+ when I try to make them...I'm already having problems with my ADR's for my trip because I don't know where I'm going to want to be at what time, and now adding FP's in the mix makes it so much harder!!!

It can be tricky, but it is also fun to do the tweaking! You'll be fine! I am having trouble with me ADRs, too! It used to be so much easier and now I just flip-flop back and forth all the time. I feel your pain!

 

[MEK]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...trying to be coy, huh MEK? We know they couldn't reveal your secret identity to just ANY CM! Everyone knows that the 10th letter of the alphabet, not counting vowels, is M. Coincidence MEK? I think not!!

Clearly someone has TOO much free time on their hands! You just cracked me up for the second time with that comment!

Now the truth is coming out! Admit it, you are agent P secretly trying to thwart the evil ways of Dr. Doofenshmirtz! (How sad is it that I know this stuff? )

Sad! Very sad indeed! See above!

Back to the real stuff...another great DISmeet! You're on a roll!!!

I know! Back to back DIS meets! How great is that! Spoiler alert - After today we take a little break on the DIS meets! Hard to believe! I know!

I thought about it too and even the premium pass since I am going to DL in the fall but now sure right now when I will be back at WDW so I am taking a pass. Now if the price was better like last time then sure but now not so much.

That's my thing - I feel like the pass is too expensive. If it was the same as last year it would be a no brainer. But its not - its like $170 more for two people. When the HECK did THAT happen? I'm bummed. I used to feel like two trips was enough to get my money's worth, but now I feel like I need 3 trips.

Ah yes Jen and Michelle- Now I am going to go crazy figuring out their DIS names. So great you could meet up with them.

MeMom beat you too it. Sooner girl and Happy Dog! Can you believe it's been so long since they have been on the boards that we totally forgot their DIS names. How sad! I wish they would come back!

I did have to look at my pictures but Yes you are correct. Remember Paul is pale- but I keep forgetting that.

That's how I remember it. Paul is the plainer of the two. I feel like he should be more flamboyant, but he is just the opposite of how I envision him.

Apparently you are. Super Spy....

Yes - that would be me! Disney Super Spy! Not!

Nice change of plans and what a great day to relax by the water.

I'm glad we changed our plans because I really did want to see Denny's family again. It was nice to share in their great big family trip and it was an absolutely beautiful day to hang out with them.

 

[IheartDDuck]

We just purchased our passes two days ago. We're only going twice by the time we have to activate it, but with the length of both of the upcoming trips, it still made more sense.

Hahaha! That Jennifer. What a Woman! That's awesome.

My Pop is SUPER excited about all of our DIS meets in May! His DIS famous status is going to start going to his head I think. Glad that Denny has gotten over his DIS meet nerves.

Why hello Anonymous!

Woo hoo! Beer flights! That made me super excited for some reason.

 

[MEK]

How do you get into a fight in Disney World that it gets to the point that you need security?! I mean, I understand getting into disagreements and stuff, but a fight??? Sheesh.

You drink way too much, that's how! It's a shame because the emphasis of F&W is really on the food as well as the adult beverages. You throw people in the mix who can't handle their booze and you end up with a flight at the happiest place on earth. Wrong on so many levels!

Todd and Paul are... umm... yeah. I believe the word I'm looking for here is "creepy". LOL.

That seems to be the general consensus. What I find creepy is that they actually move the chairs around. They can be missing in the afternoon and back in their spots late at night. Yikes!

Your Epcot pictures are wonderful. Note to self: this is why you go in the daylight! Hahha.

Absolutely. there are stunning views over the world showcase lagoon! Just LOVE it there! I especially love capturing a great sunset!

Sounds like you had lots of fun Dis meets. Maybe by the time I plan my next trip I will have gotten over myself enough to plan something like that. I am so self-conscious. In print, I can talk your ear off. In person... eh. Not so much. But it looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Well, if it makes you feel any better I was totally nervous for my first DIS meet. Like really nervous! But once you get over the hump its really not a big deal. What I find most interesting is hearing people talk for the first time. I never know what to expect and sometimes their voice don't match up with what I'm expecting.

I am so glad you guys got together. I haven't read responses, so if no one has answered or you haven't remembered DIS names - Happydog and SoonerGirl. I have forgotten a lot of DIS names, too, as they have drifted away. I bet Jennifer could keep most of us captivated with those stories of her world travels.

I knew you would remember their names and as soon as you said them I was like "doh, of course". Great names too. I really miss them on the boards. I loved their TRs and its sad that they don't write them anymore. Boo!

Yes - Jen really knows how to travel and she is lucky she and her family have the time and resources to travel. Very blessed indeed. I like living vicariously through other's travels.

Pretty sure Tracy prances around Epcot any time she wants to these days. We need to send that medium lady that has the TV show to meet us at the back gate one day. She is either the real deal or she has hundreds of random people doing a convincing job of being surprised. I have seen it a few times, and most of the people I have seen seem genuinely amazed and not playing games.

I am pretty sure of the same thing. How wonderful to visit whenever you want!

You know - when I first started watching that show I totally thought it had to be bunk, but I more convinced than ever that spirits roam and they do communicate to susceptible people. It's rather amazing. And I do believe that orbs show up randomly in pictures. There is no reason to think it just happens to be a random light glare. Every time I see something like that in my pictures I really believe its an orb.

It's good that Denny is getting more comfortable with you meeting crazy internet friends.

Yes - Never forget the "crazy". Denny has officially crossed over!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Michelle and Jen. Honestly, its been so long since they have been on the boards that I don’t even recall their DIS names. I have been wracking my brain for days, but its just not coming.

We had a lovely meal with Jen and Michelle. In fact, it didn’t take long for Denny and Jen to start a conversation about her various international travels and her upcoming trip to Peru. Machu Picchu, Peru to be exact. If I’m not mistaken, she just returned from that trip.

That sounds like an awesome trip.

Denny was reluctant about this DIS meet since it was heavy on the estrogen, but I dare say this was one of his favorites.

Wait, what?? I would think it was the one with me, Glenn and Dawn...

...


...


...


...


And then all the rest.

I was thrilled that Denny had such a great time because I figured after meeting “the Saints” the night before and meeting Jen & Michelle this morning, he might finally be over his trepidation regarding DIS meets.

Whereas after our meet, he said, "Don't ever put me in a room with those idiots again."

Or is it the other way around? I can never remember. Pat?

I could have gone without seeing those chairs again.

But it was here that I had a mishap. In my attempt to balance my camera bag, my camera, my phone, my adult beverage, I let the lens cap from my short lens fall on the ground and roll away.

Yup - that’s right. It rolled and rolled and rolled and…… well, you get the picture. And I never found it again. Not kidding. Gone! Just like that. So now I only had one lens cap for two lens. Great!

Just keep it attached over the lens when you take your pictures and you won't have this problem.

He met me and Captain_Oblivious on the same occasion and he still has trepidation??? Okay, yeah, maybe that didn't help the situation.

 

[teekathepony]

Your breakfast and Dismeet sound great! Especially if it prompted a "What a Woman!" That's so funny.
Lovely to get some downtime in the pool.
Ok, Todd and Paul are creepy as heck, we all know that, but I seriously think that the fact that they move and that they HAVE NAMES is super extra creepy.
Sneaky lens caps. I usually lose mine around the house. Sometimes I find them again after I've bought a new one.
You may of course believe what you wish, but that's a sun glare, not an orb hahaha that's why it's in the shape of an aperture! Although it could be an orb coming into your camera through your aperture and taking that shape! (Insert some creepy music here!)
What a wonderful view over your adult beverages! So so beautiful!

Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

 

[mickeystoontown]

For some reason, I find it funny that Denny was so into the breakfast Dis Meet. It took John a while to realize that Dis Meets could be fun.

The afternoon in Epcot looks absolutely wonderful! Lots of blue skies and spending time with family.

Oh and I almost forgot...the possible orb. I believe in them too and have captured pictures of a few right here in our office. If you ever come to Louisiana, you need to go to The Myrtles. It's one of the most haunted places in the United States. My sister stayed there overnight and has several pictures that captured orbs and what we believe are ghosts.

 

[DWGal210]

Sounds like you had a great breakfast and a fun DIS meet!

It's been so fun getting to know everyone, and even meeting some of you - it's really enriched my life and my Disney life. I echo what you said, MEK; I feel like I have friends all over the US (and some in other countries, too!). I was telling my mom a story about one of my friends the other day, and she said "Is this a friend I would know, or one of your Disney friends?"

I totally believe in the mediums, and people communicating with those that have past on. I also think they are here around us, among us. My grandma's "sign" from her loved ones has always been a cardinal; when my mom was getting cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic about 25 years ago, my aunt called my grandma and said, "I knew Nancy was going to be OK because on the car ride up, about a dozen cardinals went over the car." She also sees cardinals at their home a lot and thinks it's my grandpa, coming to be near her. I think she's right. I believe Tracy's spirit is often at Disney.

The beer flight looks good!! I have heard that grapefruit beer is good, I will have to try that one of these times.

 

[MEK]

I haven't bought mine yet but I will today or tomorrow. I don't have any long trips planned for this year but a bunch of little ones. It will be a huge savings from buying regular park tickets. I thought about waiting until the regular AP deal comes back but I can't remember what the price for that was through DVC. For a PAP w/o the discount it's $803, for an AP it's $675. I didn't renew within my window so I need to get something. I probably won't use the waterparks much but I like having the option.

I don't plan to renew in my window either. My problem is I really want to go to DL in 2015 and it just doesn't seem to make sense I buy the pass if I have a DL trip sandwiched right in the middle. But if I don't buy the pass it will probably be 18 months until I actually go back and go in the parks. That just seems SO long. Except that I will go to DL during that time.

Are the tickets through AAA a good price? I know I would feel some sort of panic if I was staying near WDW and couldn't go in, unless I had completely planned doing other things for the trip like it sounds you have. One of these years I do want to go down w/o passes so I can finally do Universal and Seaworld. I feel bad spending money for other parks when I've already paid to go into WDW. You'll get the magic of the resort but a different kind of vacation if that makes sense.

They are a little cheaper and I used to get a discount for using my AAA card. What I like about those tickets is not so much the price, its the fact that I can apply my rewards directly to the tickets AND I can get an AAA parking pass which is really helpful if you have a rental car.

See - I do exactly what you said above. As long as I drop all that money on two passes I have been really reluctant to go to any other parks. Darn Disney. They really know how to get you, don't they?

Love that you had a great breakfast. Too cute about Denny being impressed by Jen

It was such a fun meet and Jen and Michelle are lovely. It was pretty funny to see Denny just a bit smitten!

I know FP+ gets a bad rap by some but I absolutely love it. Change plans on the fly and still get into your favorite rides without the stress of needing a paper FP. I love it.

A lot more people seem to dislike FP+ over like them. I found that, so far, FP+ has worked well for me. It's allowed me to start in the park late and its allowed me to get most of the FP's I've wanted. It's not perfect, but what is?

for a DISmeet! Those are always really great, and you have some wonderful ones.

I really did score some great DIS meets this trip! I feel very fortunate to have met so many great DISers!

What a gorgeous day, and you got some really great pictures on your walk back to Boardwalk! Definitely a great opportunity to take a break at the pool, even the scary clown one!

Thanks!

It was an absolutely perfect day weather wise.

And did you notice I didn't include any actual pictures of the clown? Hey - I respect my readers.

Your adult beverage in France looks really yummy! Did I miss you saying what it was???

Nope, you didn't miss it because I never said it. But just for you I decided to look it up and it is called ....drum roll please.....the Parisian Cosmo Slush! It was really yummy!

Too bad about losing your lens cap. I have done that before and it is a real pain having to juggle one between two lenses.

Ugh - that was totally a drag to have to deal with that for another week! But I managed. Poor me!

on getting the great table and the timing getting to watch them bring out all the barges for IllumiNations!

That was really fun to watch. What a production. I am surprised I never saw that before. It was pretty darn cool!

 

[MEK]

Eeeck, those chairs!!! And I didn't know they had names!!!

Yup - they definitely have names. If you turn them around (which I did not because I didn't want to encounter strange stares) their names are actually on the back.

I copied this from Mouse Planet

Nanny Chairs

Placed on either side of the fireplace are the scary "nanny chairs" that were originally found on 19th century European carrousels. They were intended for adults to rest upon while their children rode the moving animals. From this concept developed the more traditional "chariot" benches. It would have been inappropriate for female nannies to even ride side saddle on a carousel horse. These reproductions were cast from circa 1889 originals, hand painted and highlighted with gold leaf. In a moment of cleverness, the two Imagineers involved in the reproductions printed their names on the back of each chair: Todd and Paul.

Your Epcot pictures are absolutely gorgeous... Sideways picture mood or not I'm not generally a fan of beer but I would definitely consider the grapefruit one!!!

Thank you! It was such a gorgeous day. It was pretty hard not to take a few nice pictures!

And the grapefruit beer - So refreshing! Another guest actually recommended it to me last October and I loved it from the first taste. I wish I could get it there next month. It would definitely be my year round favorite Disney drink!

I'm glad you had such a good DIS meet with Jen and Michelle. I met Michelle on Mark's 60th birthday trip and she is a sweetheart (only wish we'd had more time to visit).

Isn't she lovely? And so is Jen! It was so enjoyable to meet them. I hope our paths cross again!

I keep thinking of putting The Wave on our list and it just never gets there.

So many great restaurants, so little time! The Wave is really not that great on ambiance, but the food is consistently good. I've enjoyed both dinner and breakfast and I would recommend both!

Nice pictures of the scary chairs.

Are you sure about that? I know you're not a fan!

And nice pictures of the pool (although I'm still avoiding that pool in September and sticking with the quiet pool). I'm glad you got a little relaxing time.

I really don't think the scary clown is all that scary once you are sitting on a pool deck. But notice I didn't include a picture of him. I don't like him that much!

The quiet pools are wonderful! I love every minute I spent by those pools.

Oh my your drink looks yummy in France. What is it? I don't think I've ever seen that one. Is it at the same stand as the Grand Mariner Slush?

It is the Parisian Cosmo Slush, which is only available during F&W. It was really tasty and had an OK amount of alcohol. Perfect first drink of the day!

And the beer flight! Mark would be so after that. I know Nicki loves that grapefruit beer.

I love beer flights. I just love tasty different types. The only beer I really don't like are the dark beers. Just not a fan. Too heavy. The grapefruit beer is really yummy. I wish I could get it more often.

Can't wait to see if you keep the kids while the others ride TT.

 

[MEK]

We just purchased our passes two days ago. We're only going twice by the time we have to activate it, but with the length of both of the upcoming trips, it still made more sense.

It definitely makes sense when you have two long trips. With my new job I am trying to keep most of my trips to a week. I used my current pass A LOT! I don't foresee me using a new one that much since I want to go to DL. That's what the problem is. I really want to go to DL and I just don't have enough vacation to do that and use the WDW AP the way I want it. Decisions. Decisions.

Hahaha! That Jennifer. What a Woman! That's awesome.

It really was awesome to see Denny so smitten. He is always totally laid back and never shows his hand, so this was super cute!

My Pop is SUPER excited about all of our DIS meets in May! His DIS famous status is going to start going to his head I think. Glad that Denny has gotten over his DIS meet nerves.

I didn't realize Popadon was going on this trip. Now I am even more excited! I can't wait to meet him. He really is a DIS celebrity. Let him enjoy it!

Why hello Anonymous!

Uh hem ....That's Anonymous10 to you!

Woo hoo! Beer flights! That made me super excited for some reason.

Because its beer and in all different flavors. What's not to like!

Caren got it - Sooner Girl and Happy Dog!

That sounds like an awesome trip.

I know, right? I mean how many people get to go there? So cool!

Wait, what?? I would think it was the one with me, Glenn and Dawn...

...


...


...


...


And then all the rest.

Like I said to Glen - meeting you guys in Delaware was not like a DIS meet to him. I mean, he knew I met you guys on the boards, but since it was on his home turf it was like meeting my friends from work. The DIS meets AT Disney are the ones that he has had some trepidation about.

Whereas after our meet, he said, "Don't ever put me in a room with those idiots again."

Nah - he had a really good time that night. In fact, I think we are due for another DIS meet. That really was a lot of fun!

I could have gone without seeing those chairs again.

Oops - sorry! Oh, who am I kidding? No I'm not!

Just keep it attached over the lens when you take your pictures and you won't have this problem.

Yeah - that will work. Now I know how you got your DIS name. Just sayin!

Love you guys!

 

[Queenofallthings]

oh how I want to try that grapefruit beer...is it only available during F & W?

Looks like an orb to me....I know we both believe in that

 

[KatMark]

I forgot to mention the Orb! That was definitely for Tracy.
