Originally Posted By WestWind Thank you T-M. It was great to meet you last December and I hope we can meet again so we can talk a bit more. It seems like there was not enough time to properly meet and talk with everyone at the December meet - there were so many LPers I had not met before. That was my first big meet and I think yours as well. Yes I also appreciate those that organize these meets and host mini-meets.

As I type this and think about it, and now having been to several mini-meets, the host really just picks the time and location and perhaps has some sort of fun hand out, draw, or something. I will think about it. {walks off in the wrong direction with dazed look in eyes} Are you going to host one, disneylandfan8?

Now that the parade is leaving were trying to decide what we want to host in July. I'm sure you won't have a problem,

Or maybe ask if anyone wants to co-host one! It just gives everyone a chance to be together at a specific time for a fun time. Love the group photos that are taken, too!. Hope to see you in July, alexbook!

Even if you can't be there to host, I don't have the right name to take on those. The Billy meet is in good hands with disneylandfan8, with the red bandannas and on stage group photos. Many many other possibilities .....

And murfsmom, you should see how crowds are for World of Color if if enough room to find a spot, try that out! Or Magical! So excited to meet murfsmom, 999Haunts, Ursula, LuLu and everyone else! OHH and my goal is to get in a Lp Live picture with Lady Starlight lol
Originally Posted By LuLu I've been posed a question that may be on many folks' minds - when will it be decided which month the GDAs will be held? Truth be told, I'm putting off deciding b/c I don't feel strongly either way. There are pros and cons to both, and some folks will have to miss it in July, others in December. Not an easy decision to make. Whichever month we have GDAs, I'm hoping to still see mini-meets in the other!

Originally Posted By murfsmom I really think July is the good for the gda's because like I said before, as long as I've been going to meets,it was in July,and there was always a great crowd. and being DL'S 55th birthday makes it even more special. And like I said, kids are on vacation, it's a lot easier. This are just my thoughts.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Pretty sure we won't be there (it's DD's anniversary weekend and we typically babysit but IMHO July seems to be the better date for a more casual get together and the Golden Doobies. I say that because in December there is the school/work thing and the unknown weather that makes an indoor venue kind of necessary.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE There are many good points been made as to what month the GDA could be in. Making the choice not an easy...one. I loved it being held in December. Christmas brings out just an amazing feeling of Winter Wonderland Disney Magic , you could feel it everywhere. We had the opportunity to meet two Very Special Guests , which will not possible if in July..if July is chosen it would be so great if it were.. Eddie Carroll the voice of Pinnochio, and Mr Bob Gurr a Disney Specialist.. were so Wonderful last year... It would be nice to have it when Doobie could be there. It will be a ton of Fun no matter when it is , that is for sure....I support what ever is chosen, these guys and gals do so much for us . well thats all Folks , have a great day Looks like it will be just me in July, my DW wants to be home in case our Daughter needs her, before the baby comes.. She is coming in December and is anxiously waiting to meet everyone then..

If anyone wants to take it over I am really OK with that (Andy?).
