GregWise Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I had a great time, and would like to type a few words about the people I saw working on the 2012 IPMS/Disney convention. Starting with Mike and Marie VanSchoonhoven who had been riding bareback on top of this monster for the last two years who done their homework, planing all details, working in accordance with the proper IPMS people, working out all the foreseeable problems a head of time, avoiding all the last minute chaos, making several trips from their home in St Pete to Disney on their dime and their time, pulling money from their own pocket to make some the smaller details happen. These two are truly the hidden gem stones that were uncovered. Thank you Mike and Marie for a great show that would have never happened if not for you two. And big thanks to the Pelican club members to many to mention by name but you know who you are, The guys who stood behind the counters, sat behind the tables, directing people all the while being polite, friendly and displaying good manners, The behind the scenes computers techs, grunt workers and all the other people involved. And above all thanks for leaving any egos at the door, working together as a team in a professional manner, making this show work like a well oiled machine. You guys rock and should be proud. Thanks to all the incredible volunteers, stuffing bags, running errands, doing all the rest that was needed and just being willing to help people. Awesome! and Thanks Mickey! It was magic.

spooky Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I too want to say thanks to mike for being so kind to me during and after my face plant into the floor. The good news is I won't be needing surgery on my shoulder. And thank you all for your kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'll add my congratulations to all who put this on. Great Job! My wife and my daughter and I had a magical time there, as they say in Disney speak. Not only was the convention great, but the staff at the whole park was exceptional. I've never seen such wonderful people working together so happily before. Especially with the crowds they had. Disney cast members really lived up their reputation for us. We arrived the Friday before the convention started and managed to see all 4 main parks and a water park. Rode every major ride, sometimes twice. I almost forgot there was a model show....almost. The Kennedy Space Center tour was also exceptional. Again well done. I hope we here in Colorado can do as great a job. Doug D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Just got back to Michigan this evening. Long drive but we had a blast at WDW. EXCELLENT convention at a great place. The host chapter has earned a long rest. They put on a flawless show and I'm sure everyone had a great time. I must say the seating and amount of room we had for the awards ceremony was just wonderful. I wish every awards ceremony could be just like that. Overall - PERFECT !!!
