So, if you have a chance, please swing by the LP MEET section to indicate if you are coming. Please also use this topic to ask questions about the meet, since a lot of people have never been able to attend, or maybe you are new and have no idea what I'm talking about but would like to learn more. Thanks!

One thing you should know is Everyone is Welcome. Although Rebekah and Doobie don't post much now, from all i've heard you're going to be bombarded with kindness and all sorts of interesting information and tales, laughter from this couple. You will meet regulars such as David Michael and Chris the civil servant paper pusher. You will probably get to see model disney employees like David, who will tell you what he really thinks. Ask him to tell you how they clean ODV carts. This year you will not be treated to some regulars like Miss Candice. Also those who attend can report to me if they see any Brown Monkeys who escaped. Do the old posters who don't post much attend the big meets still? Do they still give the LP buttons away?

Originally Posted By Ursula Usually, LP buttons are handed out if you request them ahead of time. These buttons are so nice as they have the LP logo and your screen-name or real name. (But I don't make the buttons so I hope the button person will jump in here). The big event is surrounded by little events, called mini-meets. I will once again host the Tiki Room Meet, which I am looking forward to doing. Others have meets they like to have, but please everyone feel free to host or start your own. We usually list in the meets section the day and time of the mini meets so everyone can sign up for them to let the hosts know how many to expect. At some mini-meets, tiny cheap gifts are handed out, at some, you get nothing. At others, you are expected to bring your own lunch! And then there was the TOT post-meet ride. Imagine this: right after the meet two years ago, most LP'ers walked down to TOT. The cast member asked "How many in your party?" The answer was 64. Or some other ridiculously hig number. See how much fun we have???
Originally Posted By avromark At TOT it works better then Dumbo. Mine has been a reason of money, i've spent a little to much time in college (not failing, just changed my mind on the major, then I took certification courses heh). Otherwise i'd be there. This year it's more of a scheduling thing, unless I can somehow arrange vacation at the same time. You've probably noticed my nick around for a bit, I recognize yours. Some of the questions i'm also asking, cuz I know someone else will ask them if I don't and you like to hear my keyboard. (Ok not really ) The other thing is, is it ok if I go with a sky mask on?

Also looking forward to meeting, Inspector, 5BR, threeUndertwo,Labuda and more! ...! Sorry, to see SusieQ is not attending this year.. Would love to see you again!
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Thanks so much for the compliment of wanting to meet me, bubsmom! (and ditto, m'dear--I look forward to meeting you, too). Unfortunately it won't be at this July's meet as I won't be attending this one. So we'll have to catch up with each other at a future DLR meet.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Ummmm. Not to go OT here but bubsmom said "infamous" PixieGlitter...not so much the compliment perhaps. I'm trying to work it here so I can go but I have a work convention that week and the "grown up" side of me is really talking loud in my ear.
