| The Aftermath I'm home and back to work today after a typically great MouseFest. A fun time was had by most, including me, except for my buddy, Ray Sharpton, who was tragically struck by some horrible bug and spent all of MouseFest laid up sick in his resort. MouseFest was certainly the poorer for his absense. Most people seemed to enjoy the new diggs at the Contemporary and the Yacht Club convention centers. The biggest differences I saw were having MF101 indoors, so the presenters didn't have to shout over the castle forecourt shows, and it was nice to have snacks and drinks at the Chairman's Kickoff. I enjoyed all of the traditional meets like MF101, the Dole Whip Meet, the MegaMouseMeet, TriviaFest, PodFest, and MouuuussseeeFest, as well as a few new meets. And most importantly, MouseFest provided many with an opportunity to see friends whom we only see once a year, and to make lots of new friends. I seem to come home every year with at least a half-dozen new faces in my mind - whose names I usually forget until I encounter them again on one of the message board communities (I have a terrible memory for associating names with faces). Any of you whom I met for the first time - Hello! And forgive me if I don't recognize you on the boards. I spent several hours yesterday post-processing my pics while I unpacked, and they are uploading now, so within the next 20 minutes you'll be able to see them all here: Will's MouseFest Pics - Wednesday |

| It was great meeting you, Will, and I had a wonderful time meeting everyone! Although I've attended MouseFest before, this is the first one I registered for, and the first one I made a concerted effort to attend as many meets as possible, and meet as many people as I can. I was not disappointed. Exhausted, but not disappointed! The organizers did a wonderful job (although...a suggestion for next year? WATER, please, at the Kickoff Party!), and I was thrilled to meet everyone. |

| DH and I saw Ray one morning as he was switching from Pop to the Boardwalk (or Beach Club, I can't remember which). He'd been laid up with a bad case of flu and just couldn't leave his room until that morning. I'm not sure if he got out after that or not, as he still wasn't feeling well.

| I'm glad you had fun, but sorry for your friend. It's no fun being sick, but being sick at Disney is doubly awful because of all of the fun you KNOW you're missing out on.

| Just sos you know, Will . . . I laughed out loud on Maelstrom after hearing your "You are not the first to pass this way . . . " in the Norwegian accent.  It was fun seeing you at the meet at the fish place . . . and hearing your appropriately placed plethora of Disney songs coming from your phone.

| Thanks for sharing these photos Will... broke my heart having to have to cancel out on the MF at last minute. Next year if DH decides to do something stupid, I'm going to.............. him (you can fill in the blank) Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper but family does come first. (he fell out of a tree and shattered the L3 in his spine on 12/2)  So your photos have been greatly appreciated by me  Thanks!
