Our next official chat is tomorrow Saturday the 9th, starting hopefully around 7pm Eastern Standard (-5 GMT). Because I have found it difficult to be in both rooms at the same time, let's make this chat in the #DisneyParkhopperChat room. This does not mean you have to talk about the parks, by the way. If people want to chat amongst themselves over in the #DisneyDreamersChat, that is perfectly acceptable.

To sweeten the deal... I will be holding a drawing for those who come and chat for a significant amount of time. A door prize if you will. If you drop by and chat for a while (not logging in and then off after a few minutes, not lurking without saying anything), I'll throw your name in a hat for a 3 month dA subscription (or equivalent print). I might even make a special feature journal for those who chat. And maybe we can discuss how to hold chat contests or scavenger hunts, too.

~Tina, =Arete-Eirene-Phile


And remember, if you would like to announce an official time to chat, just drop us a note and I'll add it to the journal here. You don't even need to be a moderator.






1. The topic should be kept on something Disney.

2. You must keep your language clean; we have many young members, please try to keep swearing to an absolute minimum, and no sexual innuendo, please.

3. To post thumbs you must be promoted to Member status. Just ask the admins or send a note to =Arete-Eirene-Phile and you should be added asap.

3a. All thumbs posted must be Disney related. Please only post one thumb at a time. Spamming thumbs will result in you being banned from the chat.

3b. Thumbs must be no more than PG-13 rated. No gore/violence/nudity/sexual situations allowed. You will be given one warning for breaking this rule, and then banned if you persist. (please note, Disney level "horror", like skeletons, are fine; Disney really likes skeletons, if you've never noticed. )

4. Plz account icons are allowed, except for the gunshot ones and any which may fall under the PG-13 rule above. If you post the gunshot plz icons you will be given one warning, and then banned if you persist.

5. No spamming of any sort, be it icons, thumb, emotes, links, or what-not.

6. Be courteous to the others chatting. Rude comments will not be tolerated. Those proven to be consistently rude to others will be banned.

7. Lurking is ok (albeit kind of creepy), if you simply want to read what others are talking about. Do not idle if possible, unless the room is empty and you are hoping for someone to drop by. Feel free to be in both rooms at once if you like.
