Upstate NY DVC

[JudithM]

EZ, yes, I know Boonville! It is the northern part of Oneida county!

I'm in Latham, just outside Albany. The meet we had up here was last summer (or was it the year before?). I didn't organize it but had a great time meeting with other DISers. I always viewed "upstate" in very broad terms- anything above "The City". I drove down to PA a few weeks ago for Barb's meet, so I wouldn't mind traveling for a meet.

Well I call it upstate, but it's also called the Southern Tier - way down here in Binghamton. A DVC meet sounds like a great time and would love to attend one. If only I was organized...

 

[DVC-Don]

There was a "regular" DIS meet in Albany a year ago in June. I remember meeting KarenNY at that one. Old Kicker was also there.

"Anybody out there farther upstate than Speculator?"

I have cousins in Chateguay and Plattsburgh, does that count??

Hello,
We are new BCV owners from Clifton Park, NY. I would have to go along with the saying "if you refer to I-87 as the Northway" you are from upstate.

We're "Delmartians" - in the Town of Behlehem, just south of Albany. I love this upstate-downstate distinction!!! Could it be that if you live in NYC and close enough to routinely refer to it as "the city", that's downstate? I grew up in lower Westchester (definitely downstate, I would argue - but don't know about more northern parts of the county - LOL!!!) and lived for a while in "the city". (I don't remember using upstate/downstate terms when we were kids - when my cousins would visit their family in Ballston Spa, we all would just refer to it as "going to the farm"!!) So now I live near Albany and the first time I talked about going to "the city", no one was quite sure what I meant - so maybe I'm a downstater by birth and an upstater by geographic location...

But, I'm rambling - I'm all for organizing a gathering in the Capital District area.

 

[Peddler]

How about Fulton County,Johnstown to be specific,although we live in Pittsburgh now!!

I think with the upcoming governor's race, a debate should be scheduled for all candidates to discuss the parameters of upstate vs downstate vs across the state (WNY), Soutnern Tier, etc.

 

[tripletvan]

Yes I know where Booneville is our friend is from there and says he is from "Hooterville" (a joke) but we need to know who is the organized one to call a meeting?? Where would the meeting point be? Saratoga would work for me. Sorry just being greedy!

 

[NandP]

is New Windsor NY considered upstate?? if so count me in !!!

 

[patsal]

EZ-- I know where Booneville is. When we were kids my Dad's best friend lived there. Waahoo, that's where we used to vacation!!!! Can you believe my parents don't understand my fixation with Disney Vacations!!! LOL

 

[Diana Lyn]

I live in Glenville! I can't believe how many Capital District DVC owners there are!! Anyone going on the Member Cruise? I know this is a touchy subject around here, I just thought I'd put it out there.

 

[justcruisin]

Hi from Greenwich, about 30 minutes east of Saratoga. Members for a year. HAD to join after our Disney cruise last summer.

 

[JeffreyH]

Hi. We're new to DVC (April), looking forward to our first trip as members in February. We live off of Exit 10 of the Northway. Would be glad to meet somewhere...although my wife will think I'm nuts!!

Just got the brand new book "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2003" and am looking forward to reading it on an upcoming vacation to Cape Cod.

Anyone else get the mailing offering BCV points at $70 each from Disney for those NYers who purchased before 4/30/02 and who add-on 100 or more points? So tempting...

 

[DVC-LEROY]

I've only met one person in our immediate area.
We're in New Hartford NY - outside of Utica (Exit 32 -Thruway) Boonville - is no more than 20-30 miles north of us.

 

[poohstx]

Hello from another 'Delmartian"!! Have we possibly met at a garage sale? We would love to meet everyone. To be in a group where people actually understand tour love of all that is Disney!!!
Yes, we are probably going on the member cruise. It has to be GREAT!

 

[JudithM]

Leroy, isn't Utica exit 31 of the NYS Thruway or have they changed the numbers? I believe exit 32 is Westmoreland.

 

[marymrg]

I grew up near exit 29A (lol) - Little Falls, but now live south of exit 55 - south of Buffalo, western NY.

And, I do know where Boonville and New Hartford are!
