We decided to go get coffee and soda and I wanted chocolate mousse from france Shalah who lost 75 pounds and looks wonderful had more willpower than I did :whistle: We then went shopping in the Japan pavillion and then it was time for us to get into standby line for the CP ( it was already nuts we got in line and I saw heather walking and got her in line with us good thing because she wouldnt have gotten to see it (we sat at the back and it started getting colder and colder ) we decided to leave before it was over missed one song and met with scott and Mickaholic they couldnt get in to see it and then met Ron and shalah took a group picture and We decided to leave ( we drove heather and brandon back to the hotel that was the least we could do since we were staying at the same hotel ) !!! and Richard and I had dinner at the hotel do to it being so cold and off to veg the rest of the night !!!


I just want to note that Ron and shalah are wonderful people when we went to Planet hollywood they wouldnt let us pay ( we felt so guilty about not paying for our own food that we ensisted on leaving the tip and they have offered there home to us if we would like to visit them in Denver and they also bought me a little souvienier to remember them by I hope this doesnt embarrass you two but I am just so blown away with your kindness I had to let everyone know

It was so nice meeting all of you,Cheryl. Actually, I did get to see the CP. My mother and I got on the stand-by line at around 3:30. Thank God we did,because I think that they had three-fourths of the theater set aside for dinner package people. It does sound like you guys had a great time. I bet you're glad you could stay the extra day.

[tiggerlover1971]

thanks guys it was nice meeting you to mickaholic oh I am glad that you got to see it also !!!!

[llama]

Rotten luck about your pictures.:( But you sound like you had a great time. Thanks for the report. Those of us who have been Disney-deprived for a long time, appreciate it!

[Dana]

Cheryl -

I am almost positive that some of the great friends you made will be more than happy to send you some doubles of their pictures. I am so sorry that yours were lost. How disappointing! Other than the pictures, your trip sounds like it was great. I am so glad you got to meet up with the gang. roncss is a sweetheart and I am so glad that he and his DW were so kind to you. I expected nothing less from such a great guy.

The reports from the last few days have been a God send. Like. Llama (aka janice) I have been Disney deprived for to long and look so forward to hearing about all of the adventures of my DC family.

[tiggerlover1971]

ok guys Ron was nice enough to send me a picture of us at Planet hollywood and said I could post it I hope it works

I'd just like to chime in here for a moment. While it's true that Ron is indeed a great guy as Cheryl states, you all need to know that Cheryl and her husband are two of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Cheryl's laugh and infectious smile made my day at the Mega Mouse Meet and I very much appreciated the chance to meet and chat with her. She's exactly the type of person that makes DC such a special place.

I had such a great time at MouseFest and really had fun getting to meet a few of you. I really look forward to future meets and to getting to know more of the ever-growing DC family!

I would like to second Scott's message, Cheryl and Richard are indeed two of the nicest and most engaging folks that we have had the pleasure to meet and break bread with. We enjoyed our time with them and look forward to meeting them again at future WDW trips.
It was also a pleasure to meet and chat with Scott. He certainly presents a very positive image for Disney Central and was an asset at the Mega Mouse Meet.
Ron :)
