A heartfelt thank you to everyone at the reunion. My reflections on the weekend: Β I posted the need for WOC fast passes and a MWer went out of his way to get them for me, I went to E818's studio tour and finally met in person the MWer who sent my son a RAK after his head injury a year ago, I went on Dave's tour and bought him a bottle of water, I stayed at the DLH, I saw Admin and yelled MW to him...then met him and his kids, I went to planned meet ups, I went to random meet ups at Trader Sams and the GCA hallway, I met and hugged mrsblue in her pjs, I watched WOC from the VIP area, I donated to the raffle, I won the Tom shoes at the raffle, I gave away reunion button RAKs, I saw a proposal, I bought a MW lanyard, I cried during Heather's song and again during Papa's memorial, I hugged mrsprincecharming and told her "this is more than an app", I laughed when I saw the MW roll, I shared a dinner table with a gal in a crowded restaurant who turned out to be a MWer,Β I saved seats at the reunion for another MWer who was shy, I watched my DarlingGranny be accepted by everyone, I saw her leanΒ forward on the POTC MW boat to make it go faster down the drop, I listened to her talk with amazement and gratitude at Shangz's kindness towards her, I took pictures with her at the photo booth and now have precious souvenirs, I saw her act silly and play and have fun! I said goodnight to a CM on my way out of the park on my last night who turned out to be a MWer.Β I cried when I left.
I can honestly say I participated fully during the entire weekend. Sure there were moments I felt awkward and kind of shy, but I took a deep breath, told myself "we're all just people...everybody poops" and walked up to a stranger and said "Hi, I'm Wendi. Who are you?" That's all it took...I took the initiative. Thank you for a fantastic time. I truly, truly enjoyed every minute of it! -
