The Rumors Board Meet Photo! (plus a challenge)

[Safari Steve]

I have some of those attractions in my backyard too, LOL...

I met Landbaron's brother last night (thought he was you for a second! Y'all look very much alike). He seemed to be having a good time.

I actually guessed the good Capt. First, since he loks a bit Eisnerish. (early eighties before he grew fat on his successes and had a heart attack.)

After that I tried to figure out which one looked the most like a pasty white chicago native, but that failed due to the intense sun up here this year, we all have deeper tans then you floridinians.

P.S. How was it down there. Landbaron missed the 110 degree heat indexes. I went north and couldn't escape it.

Yoho, I don't think thats such a good thing to be here on the DIS, do you? Actually it' funny you say that though, because not too long ago as I was just getting into my Limo at RnR a CM, who I noticed staring at me, came over and told me "you know you look a lot like Michael Eisner", now personally I don't see it, but then I have always thought of him as quite the handsome fellow!

Glad you're back, I've wondered where you've been.

 

[YoHo]

There are those that would say it explains a lot.

Yeah, I was at my OTHER favorite vacation spot.

 

[DVC-Landbaron]

I have met the enemy and they are… they are… they are not bad guys at all!!

Seriously, I had a wonderful time meeting with everyone. First though, a little thread catch up.

(But my illusions about DVC & Crook looking like Errol Flynn & Douglas Fairbanks, Jr are just crushed...)

I disagree! BUT… Gcurling. How about next time we take more than one picture and use just the best one? I really am no judge for myself, but that picture doesn't do you and the Captain any justice either. And it certainly hides my Errol Flynn-ness!!! You can't even see my sword!!

Knowing that DVC has multiple children and man in the middle looks like someone with a large family.

Hmmm. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing??

That guy on the right... looks like a "Tom" to me...

Who's Tom?

He was having a ball!!! How could you not in WDW?!?!?! But, how in the world did you avoid me for two full weeks!!!??

I've saved the best for last!!! Janet2k writes:

You gentlemen are even better looking than I had imagined...sigh...

PLEASE - Do not ever change your monitor!! And can you make next July!!!!

Now to the meeting itself. It is more than two weeks ago that this took place. It's hard to remember all the details. I do know that time slipped away much too fast though. We talked about many things and more or less seemed to agree on many of the issues. It's mainly big picture stuff that we disagreed on. The day to day stuff we ALL loved.

The Captian is as cheery and optomistic as his posts portray. His glass is NOT half full. It is overflowing! Like the old Maxwell House coffee commercials, it is truly a cup and a half of flavor!! I mean let's face it. He's staying in the Dolphin!! A very nice hotel, but there's nothing remotely Disney about it!! Yet he looks over the landscaping, catches a glimpse of something Disney on the horizon and he is in heaven!! I do recall at one point leaning over to him, carefully examining his glasses and asking if they were the rose-colored ones I'm always referring to!! He was a lot of fun!!

Gcurling was just as moderate as he appears here. He clearly sees both sides and it seems as though, to me at least, he takes a short trip in ALL the cars for a block or two at a time. That's not to say he vacillates, it's just that he is not a hard liner either way. He is very personable and very, very easy to talk to. In the first few awkward moments he got things going and kept them going throughout the night.

It was indeed my pleasure to meet these two fine fellows and my hope is to meet them again next year and many others as well!! I'm going back again mid July 2002. I know that is a week or two late for my friend Mr. Duck, but for all others, and even the lurkers out there, you gotta do it!! It's great to finally meet the people you've been writing to (and about)!!

I think, if I remember right, AV was nominated (and elected) to bring coffee and rolls for all the early risers!! Right AV!!?? (See what happens when you miss a meeting!!)
