The real Melbourne DISmeet Fri 7th October 2016

[zanzibar138]

Oh man. I shouldn't have hesitated! The frozen summer fun premium package is sold out! apparently it sold out almost as soon as it came out. Now I've been asked to call every day to check if there are cancellations. Apparently you can cancel the day before with no consequence ...

That does not surprise me at all! DLR still has about a 3-4 hour wait to meet E&A, and merchandise still sells out quick. I imagine anything Frozen will either sell out real quick or have big lines!

Good luck for a cancellation

Now I'm running out of tours to do. I'm thinking about the Walt Disney Marceline to Magic Kingdom tour ... any thoughts?

PS: What's the protocol on the boards? Do I just chat a lot about my trip and planning for it on this thread, or do I start a new thread?

I do have and use whatsapp. Not sure about the others.

I have whatsapp. It is handy if you need to send messages to multiple people and let everyone able to see the replies. Maybe we should look at using it?

No worries. Was just wondering as whatsapp is kind of my go to app for group chats. What are your thoughts on the My Disney Experience app and My Magic +?

MDE is the website, right? So far, I love it. I haven't experienced any real glitches, and I like being able to flick through days and see what I've got planned out (complete with pretty pictures of each park / hotel / location).

Oh man, that sucks! Edit - actually, have you read up on Easy WDW? The report there makes it sound like it's not that hard to experience everything without the premium package.

That tour looks pretty good - the history would be so interesting.

And I don't think there's any real protocol to speak of. I think most people start their own thread, or there are sometimes threads created for certain times of the year (everyone touring in September, for example). I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have a problem with you posting in this thread

So for the next DISMeet, if we wanted to change locations, this might be interesting:

I think you all might have gone last year...?

It's a lot more relaxed on the Aussie boards.

Although....if you do have things you want to ask questions about your trip, you might be better off with your own thread. That way, all your information is stored in the one location and you can find it easily......and you might find some of the other Anzacs providing input (rather than just 'us"). This thread tends to be regularly checked by about 3 or 4 Melbournians and I'm not brave enough to suggest that you probably don't need any additional input from any of the other Anzacs.

Okay. I'm definitely not going to be able to make it on the 8th. Have fun everyone!

Oh no. Would have been great to meet you. Next time hopefully.

Called up Disney tours today. But had to hang up. 45 minute wait time.

Thanks so much for the feedback and advice. I'm very likely going to just do all the frozen summer items myself. Premium package would have been nice but not essential I guess.

Looking forward to seeing the development of Disney Springs. Hoping it's just a short walk from SSR.

Usually a dinner catch up. You should come, it's usually in the CBD on a Friday night. How are your plans coming along?

I am all booked, just counting the days now. Dinner sounds like fun, mark me down as a yes

 

[Aldetha]

Whoops! I forgot you weren't at the last meet Fi!

Um, I'm not sure what the plans are. Someone from last time, did we end up setting anything in concrete, or haven't we really decided on a meet time/place yet?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Dommiekazommie, ebusinessguru, Aldetha and renderman7. I sent PMs out tonight with location and time of the next DisMeet. Sorry for the radio silence.

Have a great meet! Catch you at the next one.

As Fi mentioned, there are a few pictures of us if you look back through the thread.

[PrincessInOz]

If you're all wearing Mickey Ears, I wanna see pictures.
