Back in May, while at Walt Disney World, I was able to meet up with 3 of my fellow WDW Fan Zone columnists!
I first got a chance to meet up with Brian Jenkins and his family over in Germany at World Showcase in Epcot while they were waiting to meet Snow White, his daughter’s favorite Princess!! Kayla and his kids chatted away while me and Brian and his wife chatted, just like old friends! Great people!
A few days later I got to meet Mary Tompkins at Disney Hollywood Studios after she performed in the day’s finale of American Idol! (Sadly, she didn’t “win” the audience’s votes, but she was number 1 to me and Kayla! Mary is an amazing singer and I hope she will share her Idol experience! I think I took enough pictures for her! 
)
And a few minutes later we ran into Brian!!
On my last day in WDW, I met up with Mark Vitek and his family for a little while and we had fun riding Big Thunder Mountain after the major rainstorm rolled through! We had met up a few days prior also with some of my WDW Radio friends, but didn’t get as much time to talk, so it was great to have some more time! Mark and his wife Jen are some of the sweetest and most warmhearted people you will ever meet!
There was another Zoner who unfortunatly left WDW the day after I arrived, so I didn’t get a chance to meet her, but Dana (aka DragynAlly), next time for sure!!
It was soo much fun to meet some of my fellow Zoners, and everyone was so friendly and down to earth and I could really tell how much each of them loved Disney!! It always amazes me that there are other people out there in the world who enjoy the movies, the music, and the Parks the same way I do…and some even more! I am so happy to be a part of the online Disney community and so greatful to of made such wonderful friends!!!!

What fun, Stuart! And Mary, you must write an article about your AI experience so we can all be stars vicariously through you!
It was a great, even if soggy, few days.
Mark.
Loved meeting everyone “finally”!
And eventually I will write up a post about my AI experience! That was the 3rd time I’ve done it (won my first show and made it to the finale shows all three times). I’m kind of embarrassed about doing it, I didn’t even tell anyone except through text! Maybe I will be brave and tell the story next article?!
Great post, Jamie! We must do it again and SOON!
