Hey, Mary was pressuring me to get it started.
I definitely know that Cynthia did NOT fly up to Chicago to meet me but for business. You forgot to mention when Captain_Oblivious and FreezinRafiki were both in Chicago with their families a couple of summers ago and we met for lunch while the ladies and daughters went to American Girl. Or when FauntleroyFAN07 came to Chicago with his family and I met them at Milennium Park. Seriously, I think you are ahead of me with the DIS meets. But you are right...there is a load of them for December.
I LOVE your photos from your DISmeet with Lori (vettegirl). I met Lori (NOT in person) on teh DIS on the CSR thread. A lovely gal. It looks like the three of you had a blast.
Good for Mary, I'm glad that you got it started!
And I KNEW there were a LOT more Dismeets you've had in the greater Chicago area! See? What did I tell you?
Lori is a sweetie!
BTW: I realize I only put one of the TH photos on your FB wall but I PM'd you all three. Not sure I did you any favors since you could take them from my FB page as well or even from my update here. Oh well... I'm none to sharp.
Just started following this thread. 15 days at Disney sounds unbelievable. Can't wait for your next update!
Hi there Julie! Welcome and thank you for joining!! I'm very glad that you are here.
The trip didn't start at 15 days, it keep growing until I finally got some self control back.
YAY, another Disneyland DISMEET! You are slowly but surely meeting every Diser there is. I'm also starting to think most (if not all) are going to Disneyland JUST to meet you.
Looks like a nice relaxing, fun day in D-Land. I've heard they decorate even more than Magic Kingdom for Halloween, so it must be so very cool.
The Nightmare overlay on Haunted Mansion is something I really need to see one day. It looks so fabulous.
Hi Rob! So not true but thanks!
DL must have a few more decorations out since the Partners statue hub is decorated and of course HM is all decked out.
But, no headless horseman at DL so there's where MK has it beat!
Brenda, you are amazing! Congratulations on having a top thread! You definitely deserve it. Thank you for the shout out as well, Oprah.
You are so kind!
Yay Animal Kingdom! You are so right. What place doesn't charge extra for a wild time? You gotta take advantage of it when you can.
As always, you guys are super adorable. I love the character shots. How I love their jungle trek outfits, they're so cute! I'm glad you guys had a good time at the tusker house.
Dis meet!! I love your shots of the parade. Looks like you ladies had a great time.
Hi Jennifer. Thank you!!
And by wild, I'm sure they don't mean that I can drink from a plastic straw anytime I want.
You were my Miss August 2013 Dismeet pal!! I'm glad you were here for D23 so we could meet as well.
Just popped in to say hi. I hope I didn't make you You are on the top of my list of "Hope to meet" one day!! Loving all of the ics and the fun; but, hopelessly behind.
Hi Judy!! I'm so very glad that you dropped in to say hello! I certainly didn't faint but I did have a big smile!!
Awwwww I would LOVE that as well. There would be some serious hugging going on with you sweet lady.
I see your next trip is fairly soon. I wish you all the best with your planning!
What a fun DIS meet Brenda - I am very jealous of those beautiful blue sky's in your photos
It's pouring with rain here at the moment
Argh - come on December!
Hi Linda! Oh man! Rain rain go away.... and stay away.
I have no idea how I got 10 pages behind, but I am now caught up.
1)
For spending time with your son. From one military mom to another, the time they are home is priceless. Hope you have a great time together.
2)
on being #1 for Sept. And an extra thanks for invited me to your thread. I enjoy reading your trips and hearing about all your dismeets.
3)
For your TH breakfast. This is the one place I know for sure we are eating at on our next trip.
Hi Sandy! Thank you. I'm grateful that we did have the time we spent together. At least as he goes away it is just back to Texas for the next year.
Thanks and I'm glad that you are hear and joined!
You will not leave TH hungry or lacking in character love!
I'm loving your TR - you two seem so fun! Thanks for posting about Disneyland. My husband I will actually be there for the first time ever on November 8. I'm sooooo excited!!
Hi there Hutch! Thank you so much for joining and welcome!
I'm glad the DL update gave you a taste of what's to come in a few weeks. I hope you enjoy your time here! November is such a great time to visit.
First off- CONGRATS! :cheer2
Your threads are so well written, and sprinkled with such fantastic pictures! You're definitely deserving of the honor. Hopefully one day (only after Jess' TR is done, of course) you'll see the top honor as well!
CL looks sooooo delicious!
TH is also soooo delicious! Definitely one of my favorite breakfasts in WDW!
You and Em look like you always have so much fun on your DISmeets! You guys have definitely inspired me and if I ever had the chance, I'd love to set up a DISmeet with some of the awesome people I've met here. What a fun way to spread the Disney cheer!
HI Emily! Awww shucks, thanks!
There's a lot of TH fans out here. Wish I hadn't cancelled so many times before finally trying it.
I figure I may as well meet in person the awesome people that we chat with on the Disboards. I've made friends in "real life" for almost all of them.
All caught up! Hope you are enjoying the time with your son! Great photos and thanks to you we tried yak and yeti for the first time this trip. Harold pronounced it best burger, my dad loved his Ribs and Eveie tried both of theirs and said her spring rolls were better than either!
Hi Alysa and welcome back from your trip!! How was the
MNSSHP and Robbie with his adorable costume?
I'm glad your family enjoyed Y&Y! I'm with Eveie, I love those spring rolls! Hopefully you were able to find a great veggie option there as well.
Please let me know if you do a TR. I'd love to join.
Oh my. I'm 47 pages late
Looks like it may take me a while to catch up but I will!
Alright i'm about halfway
For starters, absolutely LOVE your Voice Mail message for your coworkers. Sheer brilliance!
I love SWA too. Mainly for the 2 free bags per person
Is there a reason why you go to the back of the plane? Do you just prefer the back? Just asking, usually people want the front of the plane so they can get off faster.
Oh my goodness! Your room at the WL is amazing! Are these newly refurbished rooms. The headboards couldn't be more fantastic.
My mom had so many issues with her MB, we always had her KTTW card available. Ours worked perfectly. So strange.
I got to see the Tangled bathrooms on this trip!
Such a cute addition.
Also, you and your daughter could seriously be sisters. You guys are too adorable!
Hi there sweetie!! I'm thrilled that you are reading. (and I know that you are a busy mom so that means a lot that you would take the time to read!) I still think of you when I think of Artist Point and the mushroom soup. Your reviews were epic!!
My little back of the plane secret... the last few trips for SW in particular, we've sat in the back and usually with an almost full flight no one sits in the empty seat between us so we end up having a row to ourselves. By the time the get near the back of the plane they've found a seat already. That and the bathroom is closer!
You are adorable, thanks for the sister compliment. If there wasn't over 30 years separating us that may be believable!!
