Hi! Spent the afternoon at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and yesterday at Epcot. I'm about done with theme parks for a while.
The first observation I'd like to make is about scale. Everything in this space is massive, and even though it looks like there are more than s thousand in the Monday reception at the moment, there are tens of thousands in Disney World and the surrounding non-conference-type hotels. All made to feel unique and special. (insert Mickey Mouse icon in your choice of fonts here) Scale also brings to my mind that BMC Engage is a larger conference than the WWRUG meetings have been. I have met many of my friends (drinking buddies, co-workers, party animals, former employers!) from past conferences in the lobby, and I'm meeting a lot of new folks too. This is, I think, a Good Thing. As the week progresses we'll see how all these groups interact. The exhibit hall is huge too. Lots of vendors to talk to, lots of "swag" to collect, and it will take several visits to see them all. I've always tried to chat with every single one of the exhibitors, you never know what's going turn out to be useful. Speaking of which, the foods good too, so....
