No DISapalooza planned, no PCC, no GKTW meets... makes me a sad pirate
105 DISers are converging on Rome as I type this.

Sounds awesome, @ShesAPirate - Have a fantastic time! Furthest I'm going anytime soon is to take out the recycling in a little while.A little too rich for my blood, as I'm going to Ireland and Spain in 2 months I guess I should've said *local* Dis events. Have a great time! Miss you all!
Will you be writing a trip report about that?Sounds awesome, @ShesAPirate - Have a fantastic time! Furthest I'm going anytime soon is to take out the recycling in a little while.
Touche!! GOOD one!Will you be writing a trip report about that?

That is entirely possible! #lightninginabottleI think they realize a crew will never be as good as the Club Blaze crew so there is no need for another podcast cruise. :-D

I miss the GKTW meets, but not the stress of putting them together. =)
Wish we could all just find a spot to meet up and hang out with our friends.
I had no ides people posted pics of themselves on the Community Board, so thank you! You're a handsome dude! So I'm guessing you moved to FL from NJ? Have a lot of friends who did that (a lot that I used to do the big Gatherings with in WDW, but those from the NE/I would also get together in smaller groups throughout the year - MISS all that!!!). Where in NJ were you, if you don't mind saying? I'm in Bergen County. And I'm going to feel really stupid when I hear the answer, but I've got to ask anyway - what's a PMP?I am a Dis meet "virgin" to date, but I do hope to attend a local WDW event. It's my own fault on why I haven't attended yet. It's not really procrastination, rather I am trying to get a lay of the land. OK that was lame....I am trying to gauge how the events are run, who attends and what type of commradety I can expect.
I am a PMP so large scale projects were the norm when I worked FT in NJ/FL. But, I can't begin to imagine the logistics of planning these events. And I agree @*NikkiBell*, I'm confident it is a thankless position which opens an arsenal of criticism (for likely volunteer work).
ATO: I thought I would upload a couple of pics of me (in the Community Board) as penance for my trepidation.

I have to say I was also nervous and hesitant "back in the day" before meeting DIS peeps. But - for the most part - I have to say - Disney really draws such a nice, family friendly, great group, and I made lifelong friends with many of them. Of course - common sense always prevails when meeting strangers, but I will NEVER forget my very first meeting of "online people" I met on Prodigy when we met at Epcot back in Feb. of '93. Unfortunately, they were a retired couple at the time, and have since passed on, but we were still friends, and in touch (they were from Winter Haven) until just a few years ago. I still meet - and have great conversations with - many people these days in my "everyday life" about Disney - especially since I usually always have some form of Disney t-shirt on, which starts conversations (exactly whey I buy/wear them in the first place!)
Oh, I'm well ware I'm dating myself with that remark, @Alicenwonderment. ROTFL. I had AOL (briefly), Prodigy,GEnie, and Expedia. On Disney forums on all. Remember when folks would "procure" the AOL CD's just to get the free trial times?The only event I went to was Finding Dory a few years back. I wonder if that type of meet was less stressful to plan. The sad part was since I only did the movie I didn't get to meet people.
P.S. Heidi, Prodigy was from the dark ages. Lol We had Prodigy, Compuserve, and AOL.
