I will be there on Monday. I am not taking any exams as I am not a BES guru just yet. But I want to make sure I am there for every ounce of it. I am extremely excited.

My colleague and I wanted to, but since our schedule doesn't permit we'll be there at the tail-end of Government Day or at the pool bar drinking alky with the WES Crew (holla!). I kinda wished Government Day info was given earlier. I couldn't extend my hotel stay by one day after all the paperwork (at my govt job) was already processed. oh well.

Unfortunately, I heard about the Govt day too late. I reserved my room at the Marriott months ago, even before I officially had been approved for the trip. By the time I had the govt day info, it was too late to modify the reservations and change my trip info. Next year, I'll have to plan on going down on Sunday to take advantage of it.

I'm going to WES to learn BlackBerry Admin techniques and to fellowship with my BlackBerry Admin peers. Not to play around in the happiest place on Earth.

shame on you. If you were a true coaster enthusiast you would realize that at the back you'll get more of a whip / pull than you would at the front where you'll get more of a push feeling.

must get both sensations.

Ok...you're making me nauseous
I envy you guys for being able to ride the coasters.

The most I can handle is "It's a small world"

Hence the only rollercoaster I ride. I had a friend that was the director of Marketing there before she left Otown. She always told me to ride the back of DD, but I never would. Maybe one day.

Eh, you only live once ... whats the worst that could happen? death? really? I'm pretty sure being stranded on an island by yourself forever would be worse.

I tortured a fellow BES Admin from England with the "Small World" ride. He said it wasn't that bad until *I* started singing the song.

With or without your BlackBerry? Do you think you could get service?

[bigwillokc]

I will be there Sunday to Sunday, so if anyone wants to get together Sunday night, I won't have any coworkers there so I will be solo and THIRSTY.

Well your more likely to die on the plane trip than the coaster. But many people don't like the feeling of falling.

I was at Island of Adventures the second year it was open. That was a while back (7 or 8 years I think). I did ride DD and Hulk. Good coasters. But nothing beats Ceder Point for true coaster lovers. Top Thrill Dragster is quite an experience (a short one, but really awesome).

I like how this went from WES to coasters.

I'll be arriving Sunday just before noon. I'm game.

[bigwillokc]

Does anyone know about all of the vendor events and what they are? I am with AT&T and I know that thiers is at the Orlando House of Blues with Hootie and the Blowfish. I haven't heard about any others. Do you have to be a customer of that carrier to get a ticket???

[Frank Castle]

Scroll back a page or two .. pretty much all the carrier event links have been posted. Some had sign up by mid week reqs.
