Convention 2009

adpi*violet · #1 03-30-2009, 09:27 AM

Anyone planning to attend the convention in Orlando this summer?

I already have it worked into our vacation plans, including a Nana (my mom) accompanying me to watch my little beau while I go to workshops!
Hope they open registration soon, so I can book our room.

Hopefully, we will be able to have a short GreekChat meet up.

Hi! I will be there! I am really wishing that there was some more information out there. A fellow AA pres. said that she emailed EO last week and got a bit of information, however I really want more. I'm getting irritated because I want to fit in some time at Disney World. Plus, I would like to start checking on flight information now. Grrr. If I find out any info, I'll let y'all know as soon as possible.

I wish I was going but considering I'm not working right now and I'm already taking a cruise with my best friend this summer, going to convention is/was not an option.

Oh well, 2011 is back here in AZ at the Biltmore, so at least I don't have to pay for airfare or hotel. Woo Hoo. It will be fun doing the airport greeting (if they still have us do it this time around, they might since Sky Harbor is HUGE).

Hey A (aka lonestaradpi)! Yeah! I think I remember you saying you were going to try to go. Cool.

We're doing Disney the week after with my side of our extended family. We do already have our plane tickets- I just booked for the day before the convention starts just in case, since my mom and I will be traveling with a 16 month old (then) and a 5 year old (my nephew). The rest of the family will be joining us later.

I'll be there! I'm going in a few days early - I used to live in Orlando, so I'm going to do a little relaxing by the pool (it looks lovely!) and shopping.

This was going to be my first convention, but when I heard it was at Sea World and not Disney World, I gave it a pass. I so wanted ears with an azure blue bow!

Hi H!! (adpi*violet). I wish I could go early, but I will be at kamp and I will leave from and then go back to kamp. So no time for me for an extra vacation. However, I might go back later on in the summer for more Disney time.

Honey, I don't care if it is at Sea World, I WILL make it to Disney! I'm a Disney freak! Plus, I have a friend who is a cast member so he can get me into the park.

Someone please help me, what can I wear for initiation? I know all white, a dress correct? No pants, right? Thank you for your help!!

I wanted to go this year, but the wedding of a dear friend of mine is that same weekend... Oh well.. Hopefully in 2011 I will get to go... At least in Arizona I have free places to stay.

I'm hoping I can go this year - things are still up in the air. :/

If I can, I'm definitely up for a GC get-together around one of the dinners, maybe?

I'm planning on going to Convention I just need the pricing. I'm giving up $600 and 3 credit hours towards my masters for it so I better be able to afford it.

adpi*violet · #13 04-08-2009, 10:02 AM

The pricing and registration are now up and online at the official site.

I just registered yesterday!

EXiADPi · #14 04-09-2009, 12:12 AM

Well I just got my pink slip from my district. I'm #459 of 600 to be called back so it is not looking good for me to be going to MCO for convention. Who knows, something awesome might happen before then that will allow me to go.

I wouldn't miss it for the world! The chapter I've advised for the last 14 years is up for the Golden Lion.
