What a day! It’s almost midnight and we haven’t stopped since we got here around 3pm. Waves of folks are checking into the hotel. It’s hard to walk 5 feet without running into someone who is here for the event.
We spent our afternoon setting up our tables and meeting and greeting all the folks we haven’t seen in a long time. The ballroom looks awesome!!!

Pat and Tracy begin to set up the Dream Team auction area.


Debbie Koma and I set up the breakout room for tomorrow’s talk on the Disney Cruise Line.


A few of us had dinner at the hotel restaurant and then got ready for the VIP reception. Fred Block asked everyone who had booked 2 or more nights at the hotel to send in their name for a random drawing of 40 persons. The VIP reception had lots of perks, but the big one was checking in for the Sat meet in advance. No waiting in line!
Here’s Colleen and some of the other staff of volunteers that were checking in folks who won tickets to the VIP reception.


Fred welcomes everyone to the VIP reception.
