JQ December Planning

[pogo]

I can't wait to meet you all (well except Pogo, he's old news!! )

We have dinner together once and now I'm old news ? Cool !

[MissStyles]

Oh and btw, still inviting people to a dinner at Le Cellier on the 14th. Not sure what time, I'm going to shoot for 6:00ish, whatever they have available. So far it's Rhonda, her hubby, Mike, and I. Anyone else that might be interested, send me a PM and I'll add you. Going to be making my ADRs on Friday 6/13.

I would loveeeee to but I also will be home by the time you're arriving at Le Cellier

Has anyone heard fom Michelle lately? And was she coming with someone?
Anyone (on this list) NOT wanting to go to CP for breakast PM me before Monday, please.

I have heard from Michelle.....she's going in October and may not be able to spring another trip in December....she told me she would PM pogo, did she get ahold of you???? I probably wouldn't count her in for the ADRs.....


Greg's group and my group will be dining somewhere after the lights on Friday if anyone's interested. Let me know if you'd like to join us!!! I suggested Tepan Edo and am awaiting his response...EPCOT's open til midnight........(although I know the majority of you will be in bed early for your breakfast the next AM )

Hey I was thinking that maybe we would want to give a formal invite to the Head Mastercontroller. (No not you Pogo...). I mean John! This IS his site - and MANY of his moderators are attending. Whatcha think?

[pogo]

.she told me she would PM pogo, did she get ahold of you????

Nope... haven't heard a word from her. And I was really looking forward to meeting her.

Remember one thing..... this is OUR site created by John to make $$$$$$$. And yes, we should invite him. Natazu and I discussed this last week..... and for the record.... way to kiss up !!!!!!

[disneydeb]

I'd LOVE to invite John, but I think he is scared of us!

I'm sure we scare off some people.

[Tink&Goofy]

Just remember - if he hadn't created this site, we would never have "met". Right??? Not kissin up - just think we should include the person that made it possible for us to meet.

I'd LOVE to invite John, but I think he is scared of us!

I don't think he's scared, I think he's busy! I met him last October, and he's a great guy. (If we DO invite him, what are the chances he would actually come??)

[disneydeb]

Good night ! 'm turning in early because tomorrow I'll be on the phone making ADRs I'm going with a count of about
35 to 40.

[pogo]

T&G...... send him a PM and let's see what he says ! He might be able to free up some time from Mouse Fest to join us.

And I'm glad he started this site just so I could meet you !

[Marilyn Michetti]

We're there that week and would love to join the breakfast group at CP.

One question? How, (or have you), scored ADR's this early out? The 180 mark isn't here yet.

Add us to the list. It will be myself and DH.

[disneydeb]

I'm on hold with Disney now! I'll add you! Look forward to meeting you!

[disneydeb]

Sometimes it is very hard to get a person's tone when everything is done in type, but I have to say that I find this comment of yours inappropriate. John is such a nice man and he has done so much to give us this forum to meet each other and have Disney friends to share information with. He is very generous and giving. I have to tell you that at face value I find this remark of yours offensive. I am guessing that there could be others here that would not appreciate it either. Just wanted to let you know that.

You are right.... Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I'm very glad he did start this site...... and I'm sure he is a great guy. I have never met anyone from this site that I did not like. It is the best site in the world.

I have to remember that people can't see or hear the same expressions made when they read this.

To anyone that found the post offensive, I truly apologise. It did not come out the way it was intended.

Is there anything I can do to make up for my blunder ???

[Carol]

I'd also like to point out -- John does not make money on this site. He actually loses money - not to mention a lot of time away from his family to run it!

I too find your comment very offensive.

[ChipnDaleGal]

You just did it! One of the perils of communicating as we do online is that facial expressions and voice tone are not part of the equation. So it is all left open for individuals to read into a statement what they will. Thanks a lot for understanding Pogo. No hard feelings.

[MMouse6937]

Pogo got in trouble!!

Just kidding, actually I know that he didn't mean that in an offesive way at all and was totally kidding! If anything Tom isn't, it's offensive, he's the nicest guy there is!

So, Deb....we're booked!! WOO HOO!! How exciting!! Somebody needs to do a countdown on this thing...I'm getting too excited!!

[John]

It's all good - I'm not offended. Anyone who has met me over the years knows I don't scare too easily.

To clarify a little bit - we do make money on the site now (though I do a lot of reinvestment back into the site, hardware, software and support) ... but for a LONG LONG time, money came out of my pocket to keep things running. That was part of believing in a dream and having a kind wife who never questioned throwing cash at ICOT even when it was bleeding and I wasn't making a ton of $$ in my day job! That and having an incredible staff who keep this place humming day in and day out - I can't say enough about each and every one of them that selflessly lends a hand to this websites success!

Of course, with the price of fuel and goods going thru the roof, I may be back to that again if sponsors don't hold their business. That's why it's important to support the folks that help bring the magic of INTERCOT to you. We've been very lucky in the last few years to bring on board a great extended family of advertisers that offer tremendous value to ICOT Guests. Now is the time (more than ever) to check them out!

As far as joining you guys - it all depends on what my schedule looks like. Right now, I plan on being at the Mega Meet / Mousefest but the way things are going, every optional trip I have right now is strictly tentative and is based on how things are going in the months leading up to it.

Anyway, all is good here. No worries.

[disneydeb]

Let's get back to the party!

We love John!

We love Carol and Donna! You guys do alot for us too you know!

We love Pogo!

OK, Pogo and I fuss like brothers and sisters, but that is just because .....







Mom likes Me best!!

[pogo]

John..... thanks for being so gracious with me and my blunder ! I love the site and everyone on it, and I think if you look at any of my posts you might find offense in one or two, but it never was intended.

Carol.... I love you still.

Donna.... you too !

Deb...... Mom always liked you best even though you have an accent !
