How do I talk my husband into me going to the meet?
Any ideas? he has been to Disney many times to make me happy, but he is over it.
Please do not take this the wrong way, but he thinks it's creepy. I go by myself and with a friend, but he is not ok with me going to meet a bunch of people from the Internet.

You have been a fellow Intercotee for 13 years, it's not like we are strangers or something.
Maybe John could write you a note:
"Dear Husband..."

And its not like we're meeting a dark alley or something. We could all write letters of introductions for him, so we're not "strangers" anymore
But, when you think about it, it is a little strange, but everytime I have met a fellow intercotee, I've had a blast, and can't wait to meet everyone!
We do "know" each other, at least I feel I know so many people and meeting them in person will be great!

I dunno - I say don't sweat it. Let him do something else while you attend some of the events or come on your own
It's not that uncommon really - in fact, my wife doesn't want to have anything to do with meets or group events. It's just not her thing.

I have an idea. I will tell my SO that you are my best friend from way back (doesn't have to know from way back on INTERCOT) and you can tell your DH the same, then we can go to the meet!

I'm lucky that I have a sister who is as big a Disney geek as me... so my husband is off the hook for coming to ICOT-15! lol
Do you have any friends that would want to tag along, if you are feeling weird about meeting a bunch of people you've only spoken to online? Make it a girls weekend!

It looks like I'll be at the 15th alone too.
Icot meet solo story: Another soloist (I won't mention any names) and I were both traveling alone and roomed together during Icot's 5th anniversary. During one of our outings with other solo Intercotees, she made it to the hot seat in Millionaire. When the host asked who she was with, her reply was "Some friends I met on the internet."
The audience roared with laughter.
Anyhoo.. There were several of us traveling solo that trip and I'm sure there will be this time too. You will always be in public spaces.. Tell hubby, no need to worry. Some of the best people in my life were met right here on Icot and I can't wait to see them!
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

I say just go, you will have an awesome time! I have to figure out how to justify it to mine financially
-
Move over, you're taking up space in my boat.
I really, really want to go. DH isn't so much concerned with me going solo, as I've done that before, but we are probably going on a HUGE California trip two weeks after ICOT 15, which will include Disneyland. Trying to justify this trip, both financially, as well as just on principle is going to be hard. In addition, I will need him to take that Friday off work since we have young kids in school, and THAT might also be hard for him to get approved (see: taking 10 days of leave in November)
I haven't even broached the subject with him yet. It's a delicate flow, as John says. I have to be slick in my approach...

It would be no different than you going to the parks by yourself... or a shopping mall... or a restaurant by yourself, and striking up a conversation with someone while you're there. You meet people who are complete strangers every day of your life. It doesn't mean you're inviting them back to your room, or to shady places all alone! All of these meet-ups are totally in public places!

I have a happy success story from Icot's 10 year anniversary party. I knew I would be traveling on a budget, especially since we always take a big trip to the east coast every summer. Sharing a room at Pop with a fellow attendee made financial sense! TikiGoddess and I made plans to room together that October. During my east coast tour that summer I was able to meet her and her family, so we didn't feel like total strangers come October.
Kathy and I had no problem hitting it off! She was fun and kind to my 9 year old son, who came with me. Although we went our separate ways a lot of the time, we really enjoyed the times we were together! I remember that we would talk into the night back at our room and it felt like we were at camp!
Kathy and I have remained friends and I visit with her whenever I make the trek back east. We are again sharing a room this October!
So you can tell your hubby to rest easy...We're pretty nice folks!
