How do you all meet up with each other and stay in contact. I love this app and posting and responding but I'm too shy to meet up with people at the parks...what if people think I'm weird!
I'd be more concerned with the booger in your profile pic. - HotDiggityDogDaddy

I'm as weird,loud, and obnoxious as they come. LOL You'll fit right in - ThinkThinkThink

Maybe start with bigger group meet ups verses one on one meet-ups...that way less pressure is on you! Hope it helps! :) or maybe host an in park RAK where people have to come find you, introduce theirself and move on! - lynniesue42

It's okay to be weird. Just don't be a weirdo. Oh and stay away from pirates, vampires, captains, and pooh bears. - HotDiggityDogDaddy

Lol I'm the same way there was a mouse waiter standing infront of me in line for big thunder I was too shy to say anything - stitch86

I'm pretty shy. We did two Buzz Astro Blaster challenges. One was only my husband, kids and StarTours1. The other was with a bunch of really nice people. I'd start with one of those type meet ups. - smfdwife

I'm not weird, just a little c-r-a-z-y. Welcome to the club. THE MOUSE WAIT CLUB. lol ;-)~ - Bigdisneykid

I have not met a MWer yet. I'm not all that great when it comes to identifying a fellow MWer and I'm kinda shy to approach. I figure it will happen when it is supposed to. - missyhidy

I am too, shy and weird! But I know it's my goal to meet wonderful MWers! - MarshaMouse

I dont meet people. Everyone on here is too cliquey... - michelledork
658.3 #159 8:20PM
^it does seem like there are cliques. I'll try one of the big meet ups though. - CAMcakes26
10.4 #6644 8:49PM
It's a lot of fun. Of course you'll hit it off better with some than others. When in life does that not happen. But big groups are generally safe and fun. - HotDiggityDogDaddy
1112.2 #74 8:51PM
Don't worry about it. You are weird. Once you give up hope you will feel much better. - BalooTBear

You are weird. There, now that we got that out of the way, come on out and meet some cool people, and H3D! - Zooter

Maybe you can write pen pal letters to some people. If you would like, we could become pen pals. Just txt me :) - LillyMaeLove

I was being sarcastic...... - michelledork
658.3 #159 9:04PM
^lol sorry blonde moment I guess. It's been a long day for me. Cliques don't have to be a bad thing though. There's the OG MWers and there's newbies like me. - CAMcakes26
10.4 #6644 10:35PM
what if they don't think you're weird? - NurseDisney
29.2 #4412 10:36PM
cliquey.....Sorry, I thought it was my old hips. - Butterlina
1308.0 #62 10:36PM
@LML: I'd love to have you as a pen pal :)
@everyone else: yeah, I guess I am weird. Hope to meet you all soon, whether through an in park RAK, group meet-up, individual, etc :) - CAMcakes26
10.4 #6644 10:37PM
@NurseDisney: I've just read some people's posts about approaching someone and they just got weird looks. I guess its just the whole strangers thing bu once I'm past that I'm good :) - CAMcakes26
10.4 #6644 10:39PM
I feel the same way! Not the weird part..well maybe lol but im shy also :) - 1lovesully
4.5 #11569 10:52PM
Im shy as well, what was most helpful was making friends through posts and stuff before actually meeting, there is less pressure when meeting new people while posting. Then when you feel comfortable plan a meet up in the parks :D When you meet them for the first time it's like seeing an old friend and not very awkward lol - SkellyMouse

What worked for me was checking the roll call and connecting that way, through texting with people in the parks. I was most comfortable meeting one person at a time because that way you can kind of look at their posts first to see if they seem like nice people. I had awesome luck and hit it off great with the first few I hung out
with and it rolled on from there. Once you know a few people, bigger meets are less intimidating. - Robynlaurel

Very true @Robynlaurel - SkellyMouse

The Astro-Blaster challenge meet-ups I found were the easiest way to introduce yourself to other MWers....my girlfriend, sweetnerdiheartmickey, and I met some very awesome people when we went....!!! (-=3 - CaptainJackSparrow

Hosting an in-park RAK is a cool way to meet MWers .. I met project626 & HappilyEverAfterzzzzz when they won my RAK ! It was an awesome experience ! - justReggie
154.0 #2244 11:57PM
I have the same problem. I've only met a couple. It was only one but Saturday I met 3 more because I was with someone that they had planned to meet up with. And I knew a few before I got on this app :-) - dopeyluv

I got used to meeting people locally that I first "met" on Twitter, so I figure meeting a MWer will be similar. Like others have said above, host a RAK, read through people's feeds, have some conversations here first, then it's like meeting an old friend. I plan on doing a RAK when I'm in the park at the end of Sept. The advantage here is that we all already have something in common to talk about: we all love Disneyland! - TonjaC

Watch the lounge for planned meetups. I met some amazing folks the first time I went. And to think I was initially nervous walking up to the group, but was welcomed by everyone! The Astro Blasters meetuos are another great way to meet others. And just remember these words of wisdom: "We're all a little bit weird"! - Gia

We're all a bit mad in here...!!! (-=3 - CaptainJackSparrow
248.9 #1025 3:33AM
Well Im really shy and I've met some people it was a little hard at first but I was fine and I got to meet the weirdest person in the world and I mean weird - Kachow!!

I think everyone here has given great advice and just do what you feel comfortable doing. I have yet to meet any MW addicts like myself but I am hoping to when we go to the parks in Oct. I will have to find a middle ground though because I am all about stranger danger and weird and my husband is more shy, cautious and staunch. But we'll make it work. That is what MW is all about. - sweetkat

I met MWers the first time at JenInWonderland's meet-up. Met more at the Astro Blaster's meet-ups. Nicest, kindest, most amazing people I have ever known. - sr citizen space ranger
