Y'all are the best!!!! This makes me all happy inside.

A special thanks to Todd Farber at Gaylord Palms, Audrey Cornu and Randall Dobson at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin, Tom Yeary at The Timeshare Store and Ruben Gonzalez at Sheraton Vistana. Way to step up to the plate and hit a home run.

... Even though I'm already confirmed, and going solo so I have no one waitlisted, I still about cried when I read this...

MTE!

I am thoroughly impressed with not only Todd, Audrey & Randall, Tom, and Ruben's generosity, but also with Pete & John and the rest of the team for even pursuing additional sponsors to accommodate the additional guests.

You like us...you really like us

Thanks to everyone!! Can't wait to see you all in December

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

This is so awesome -- I'm so very happy for all of you that are able to attend.

The DISboard sponsors are the greatest!!!

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I am so freakin' happy, it ought to be illegal! ​

Wow! That is amazing. Congratulations to all on the waitlist. And thank you to all of the above mentioned people for being so generous and truly making many people VERY happy.

To those at DU, I think that this kind of support from your business contacts/friends/supporters/partners shows what a wonderful relationship you have with them. When I see this, I am more than happy to spend a little more money (or not, depending on the great rates they have through DU) to give them my business. If I decide to stay offsite, then these are the first ones I go to!

I have stayed at some of these offsite resorts/hotels before and I have been very pleased with their accommodations as well as their friendly employees. Plus, when I mention that I booked through Dreams Unlimited, I always seem to get a brighter smile!

Thanks again for making us Dis'ers so happy. We truly feel important when you do special things for us - contests, meets, special TSM parties, prizematrons, podcast cruises, the list can go on for quite a while! I just hope that we, in return, are able to show our appreciation w/ our loyalties to you and your businesses that you have a "financial relationship" with.

Thanks again!

This is absolutely amazing news! Everyone involved in running these boarrds and Dreams Unlimited you are truly fantastic!

The generosity and hard work shown by all of you is enough to make a grown man cry.

Thanks to all of you!!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Thank you all so much! I am very much looking forward to meeting the podcast crew, other DIS'ers, and, oh yeah, riding TSM!!

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

I have to agree too. I'm not going either, and I want to weigh in with my thanks. What a huge thing you all are doing for us. My hat's off to you all. Well done, and thanks for creating such a great event. I can't wait to hear how it goes.

 

[Cyrano]

Pete know how important this is to you and another demonstration of the power of the DIS. Well done to John for pulling this off in the first place.
For those of us on the wrong side of the timeline we will need to live vicariously through the blog and everyone's reports

 

[SamIAm21]

Although I won't be attending, I just wanted to extend my thanks to all the wonderful people Pete listed who will help to make the DIS Meet the premier meet for all of MouseFest.

To all those attending, have a most wonderful time and report back early and often!

The PodSquad delivers again in a very big way!!

 

[MerriePoppins]

FANTASTIC NEWS, PETE !!!!!


A very special Thank You to Todd, Audrey, Randall, Tom and Ruben......



Pete, I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and the rest of the team

next month. I appreciate all the hard work and long hours that went in to

making this happen for us.

Now..............let's PARTY !!!!!

 

[alaskanmommy]

WOW!! You guys never fail to impress me! We were fortunate enough not to be on the wait list but I'm so glad everyone can go now!! AWESOME!! Thanks DIS, Thanks DREAMS, Thanks everybody else!! What a great party it will be!!!

 

[rlduvall]

I'm speechless. [large font in case Kevin's eyes are still bad ]

I was lucky enough to get in the first round - but like a poster mentioned earlier, I didn't feel comfortable cheering myself or the others that got in, because of all the disappointed dis'ers.

Thank you to Dreams Unlimited and all the new sponsors to the Toy Story Mania Extravaganza.

P.S. I get cranky after midnight. I better "return to the resort during the day and take a nap" per Bawb.

Pete,
I am very impressed that you and your great partners were able to arrange such a wonderful event for the DIS fans who will be at WDW during Mousefest.

My DW and I attended the first of your receptions last year at the Dolphin. We truly enjoyed that opportunity to meet you, Julie, Corey, Kevin, John and, of course, Bob. We are so happy that we had the chance to meet him before his untimely passing. We still miss him and his "Boston accent" on the podcast.

I recall as we were leaving that evening your saying that you enjoyed the reception so much that you wanted to do something like it "next year". Well, you certainly are and then some!!! Thanks for your generosity on behalf of your DIS fans.

Although we will not be at Mousefest this year, we will enjoy the festivities vicariously through the podcast afterward. Perhaps you can even record some of the party as I am sure Bob would have enjoyed doing with his beloved Kaht Kam.

May your time in the cold North of Minnesota pass quickly!

 

[CHES94]

Holy cow! What a treat for those who were waitlisted. Not getting to go, but a great big thanks to all who are making this magical event happen!

 

[BilltM]

I told you to trust me.

Everyone who was waitlisted has now been CONFIRMED!!!

We owe a HUGE HUGE HUGE debt of gratitude to Todd Farber at Gaylord Palms, Audrey Cornu and Randall Dobson at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin, Tom Yeary at The Timeshare Store and Ruben Gonzalez at Sheraton Vistana. These wonderful people ponied up some serious $$$ in order to offset the costs associated with expanding the event.

So, I'm happy to announce that not only are we allowing in everyone who wanted to attend, but we're also extending the event by 1 hour - now from 9:30pm to 12:30am.

When we told them we needed their help, not one of them even hesitated to step up. So please join me in thanking Todd, Audrey, Randal, Tom and Ruben for being such great partners and wonderful supporters of our community!!!

Thanks,
Pete

... but people should be high-five-ing (is that a word) ,bumping heads, and slapping hands ... because that is awesome. On one ... TEAM!!!!

Todd, Audrey, Randal, Tom, Rubin, and DIS ... awesome (sorry I used this twice {because it should be used twice})

Okay ... I'm jealous
