The real Melbourne DISmeet Fri 7th October 2016

[zanzibar138]

Sounds good Minniemum I was just thinking it would be getting to that time again! So far I have no plans for any Saturdays in May, but ideally lunch would work better for me so I can go to bootcamp first (how's that for dedication!).

Hope you can make it this time Zaccy And we're always happy to see new faces too if anyone is thinking about joining us.

 

[Fairy Floss]

I'll be away 18th & 25th
Just popping over to Orlando.....

 

[zaccy]

Oh Yes - I'm certainly interested.

I need to pick a few brains about Hong Kong Disney and I think I may be in Singapore the same time as someone esle who had frequented a Melbourne DISmeet.

Will PM you now Minniemum.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Great idea for May DisMeet.

For those thinking of joining us for the first time but are a little hesitant, have a read back through this thread. We've had a few great DisMeets making new friends locally as well as interstate (AussieWendy QLD) and overseas, ok, that might be pushing it, but it is trans-Tasman (CarolineNZ). The DisMeets aren't just a Disney talkfest but I'd be lying if I said we didn't talk about it at all! Things that are likely to come up are: each of our travel plans both to Disney and other destinations - US road trip, Perth, Cairns, Kota Kinabalu & Brunei; Zanzibar's progress for Run Disney (hopefully it's been injury free); we'll farewell Fairyfloss for WDW or at the very least have a drink in her honour; and lastly, ponder why PIO prefers to use her left hand when clapping with one hand. If you've still got concerns, I'm more than happy for you to PM me. Be brave, we'd love a few new faces to join us!

I use my left hand because I always take the left turn.....particularly at Albuquerque.


C'mon Melbournians.....we don't bite....much. And some of us have survived to tell the stories.

Between the 5 of us it seems lunch this Saturday, 4th May is our best option. I've PM you all the details.

PIO if you want balance in your life you're going to need to start using your right hand.

You're right (no pun intended) we don't bite much or even hard for that matter so Melbournians come out, come out, wherever you are!

My left hand does NOT know what my right hand does......and I'm gonna keep it that way.

It's the May the Fourth Be with You DisMeet!



If it is May the 4th, it must be another Melbourne DisMeet.

Fittingly, our DisMeet location had a touch of the Stars about it.....







The Observatory Cafe, with a view to match. The Observatory has been here since about 1861.






We seem to be settling in on a very regular group of 3DisFriends. Minniemum taking the picture, with Zanzibar, Fairy Floss, Zaccy (and Zaccy in front) and myself (PiO) in attendance.









Some of us started with a caffeine hit.







Others in the group went with the chocolate addiction.







But, we were having lunch today.

The Chicken, spring onion and cucumber point sandwiches.






Chicken and avocado baguette.







Ham and Cheese Focaccia.







Two of us decided on the chicken, mushroom and leek pie.







Some of us finished with coffee and florentine.






As always, conversation did touch on Disney; and our respective trips. But we spent a lot of time catching up on life in general and how things have been since the last time we saw each other.

Our catch-ups are now at a regular enough interval that we are becoming firm 3D friends.


And yes, there are definitely plans to have another Melbourne DisMeet in June.
