Hello Brian, Mark, Marc, Brian, Tracy, Nicholas, Zachary, Barbara, Jamie, Mario, Sandy, Alex, Danika, Leah, Kevin, and John.
#1: We've been lucky enough to meet the team several times. The first time I was on a solo WDW trip and I believe I was in WDW for Mousefest. The DIS decided to host a cocktail party in the Swan (or was it the Dolphin? I always get them mixed up.) I think it was 2007. Anyway, I got to meet Bob Varley. It was such a wonderful experience. He was so nice. We talked about the space shuttle launch that was supposed to happen during that party. I had hoped to be able to watch from there. But the launch was canceled and moved to another day. I also met Pete and we chatted for a bit. That's when I started my secret Pete crush. He is just so gracious, interesting, and plain fun to be around.
#2: I'm looking forward to EVERYTHING on the ABD trip. I'm so excited that John and Kevin will be on the trip with us. I've never had an opportunity to chat with them. They are both so funny on the DIS podcast and now, The
Dreams Unlimited podcast, which is fantastic. I can't wait for each episode.
I have wanted to do this trip with the DIS for such a long time. I always told myself that if I ever did an ABD trip it would have to be with the DIS. So this is our first (hopefully not last) ABD trip.
We have been to WDW numerous times. Our first trip was 2002. We've only been to DL two other trips but we love it too. We have been on 5
DCL cruises (Alaska, Southern Caribbean, PCC 2.0 and 3.0, and 4N Bahamas).
We live in the Washington, D.C. area.
My son will be 16 on the trip and I'm thrilled that Brian's sons, Nicholas and Zachary, will be on the trip too.
Question #3: Who has July 14, 2016 marked on their calendars for D23 Expo tickets? This will be our first D23 Expo. I hope Sandy and Alex can give us some tips since they are the D23 Expo veterans.
Happy Fourth of July everyone.
