That's funny you say that because I posted a similar comment on the Cougar Board and no one batted an eye at it. So my "escorts" are not listed as "protected prey" over there. :)

But I might have to do the "git outta here, kids, Ya botherin' me." @ DATW. They will be more than happy to oblige. I'll get the big "C-YA!"

11-21-2009, 07:14 PM

My tickets are sitting at will call since I am too cheap to have them mail it and do not trust snail mail to get to me in time. Also I dont trust my self to bring a print out of a e-ticket to WDW. I will be running between the Boma dinner and MK for MVMCP. Should be interesting.

Oh and I am definitely going solo. I still get asked why I am going again this year. I've started using the seminar as an excuse even though I didn't have the funds to pay for the seminar at the time they were available. Oh well, I've met Lee C. last year at Mousefest.

Renysmom

11-21-2009, 07:45 PM

I will be there as well as my neighbor Lisa.. Already have tickets...

I think we need a meet-up location and time as well, and maybe we can all see the 2nd parade together.... Thoughts??

I don't trust myself either so it's Will Call for ours too. Me and DH are planning to be there after some other meet ups at Epcot during the day. This trip sure is going to involve some running around.

I will quote Mike Scopa from last year's Mousefest 101 when he said, "I know you all want to attend all the meets but there is only 24 hours in one day and you will easily burn out if you don't pace yourselves. Even if you don't meet some of the folks at one meet, there is a great chance you will see them at another meet."

Master planning is great but make sure you leave enough time to eat and sleep ;) :rolleyes1:dance3:

I'll be there, ordered my tickets last week - I did the print at home. Even if you do forget them, you can reprint them when you get there, so it's not too risky.

AlexDurrani

11-26-2009, 10:27 AM

I hope to be there, if it is not sold out and I can convince my family to go again. Not so sure that I can do that. We had planned our trip before DAP was announced, it just worked out to be the same time. So we already have tickets for 12/6. But I hope my family likes it enough to go again, but at $60 a person, it don't look like I can convince them.

Usually the parties before school lets out doesn't sell out. Last year it wasn't till the weekend after school let out and things got really busy that the parties were selling out. I said the same thing last year after attending not one but two parties last year during Mousefest and realized once is better if not at all. Its worth the money as long as you go there for the special events and not for the rides.

So...we're almost at single digits on the countdown. I'd love to see us have a meeting place to watch the parade or fireworks as a group...all of us with tears in our eyes feeling the Dis-love! Does anyone have any suggestions for a location? (...and if this has already been done, catch me up! :laughing:)

Quick question...does Tink fly from the castle on MVMCP nights? Unbelievably, I've never managed to see this!

The rules are, if you suggest an idea, you get to implement it. So name the place and time. :)

Friends of mine found the rose garden next to the castle on the tomorrowland side of the castle is a great place to see the fireworks. We could meet there for Wishes, or maybe in front of it for the parade and then decide from there.

DVCsince02

11-28-2009, 07:03 PM

Agree, should be able to see the parade and fireworks from the same location.

AlexDurrani

11-29-2009, 10:31 AM

I am going to be running late for the event because I am also doing the Boma Dinner at AKL. That will be an interesting day since I will be doing Breakfast at Boma and Dinner at Boma. I always make an effort to go to Boma for breakfast at least once a trip. I couldn't get an ADR for any other day so it looks like it will be twice in one day for me.

11-29-2009, 12:14 PM

From what I've read, the second parade seems to be the way to go...much less crowded. Would that suit most people? 9:30 fireworks, 10:30 parade? I like the rose garden area idea...

Renysmom

11-29-2009, 12:39 PM

AlexDurrani

11-29-2009, 04:57 PM

It's perfect. We can all meet up at the entrance to the rose garden at the bridge to Tommorowland at about say 9ish to 915ish. then get close enough to the parade route for the parade and maybe socialize till the fireworks. I remember last year during Mousefest we all went down into the gardens towards the old boat dock and we can get a better view of the fireworks themselves. now if there are people that want to watch the stage show then maybe staying at the top is better. we can always as a group go do a ride or something.

Works for me.. I always do the late events as they are less crowded. :santa:

My experience at MNSSHP was the late parade was better for viewing the parade. The early parade was hard to see, due to the large crowd.

Sounds like a good idea.

Todd, have you thought about bells on your tiara? I think that would work.

From what I've read last week they offered a ticket to another MVMCP or MNSSHP night or a MK park ticket. If it's intermittent they'll bring the characters indoors and cutback on the parade. No soldiers and gingerbread men. Can't have soggy sliding characters:goodvibes Good news is anything already indoors will be open.

Assuming it doesn't rain I'll be taking pics of the fireworks. I'll proably meet you all for the parade at 10:30. The rose garden may be a bit tight for my 30mm and an odd angle. Straight up,lol. Not sure yet.
