[ASFCurly]

I will be there!

[RaySharpton]

I'll be there.

RaySharpton (Ray) - 1

I'd like to eat at Magic Kingdom's Liberty Tavern before MVMCP opens, too. :)

[KristaTX]

Mom and I will be there :earsgirl: :earsgirl:.

[KittyKitty]

And my 1st MVMCP on Dec 9th!!!! I'll be there.

Can hardly wait:bounce: :bounce:

Susan

[vickyBaby]

I'll be there TC.

[matsterrocks]

Just wondering what Mousefest is. Someone from MVMCP forum was wondering if the 9th would sell out due to Mousefest?

[delswife]

:Pinkbounc US! We wil be there!

5 or 6 depending on Nikki's school.

And the Zurg's too!

[KristaTX]

http://allearsnet.com/btp/mousefest.htm

I was there last year for the Mousefest activities, and I did attend a MVMCP that week. The MVMCP may sell out, but probably not simply because Mousefest is going on. This is just a guess, but the number of people at WDW because of Mousefest and other meets probably will number in the low hundreds. And they won't all be going on the 9th.

[Towncrier]

Krista is right in that the MouseFest group won't be enough to cause a sellout on the 9th. December 9th is the "official" MVMCP for MouseFest 2004, but even if they all attend, I doubt that it will amount to more than a couple hundred extra people that night.

[Mattsmom]

TC - we will be there.

Buz, Matt and I

[GoofyJoofy]

That is the night we have tickets for.

It will be me with DW (aka Goofy's Muse), DD-13, DD-11 & DS-10.

Hope to see you all there.

We are hoping for early dinner at Crystal Palace before the party.

[DVC Kathy]

DH (drclaws aka Dave) and I will be there as well.

Kathy

[4greatboys]

I will be there with 3 great boys :teeth:

[ckj]

Me, Stinkerbelle (DW), My Parents (2), brother and sister, will be there!

[daisylove]

I just made the ressies. Yea!!!!:Pinkbounc It is going to be a complete surprise trip for DH and DD5 but we will see everyone at the Christmas party on the 9th. What are the plans if any?

[Towncrier]

Some people have made ressies at Liberty Tree Tavern, but other than that, I am not aware of any plans yet to meet during MVMCP. Since those of us who arrive early for MVMCP will most likely be sent to Tomorrowland, perhaps someone would like to setup a formal meeting place and time there.

[KristaTX]

There is a big Mousefest meet that night that I figure some of us might try to go to: http://www.allearsnet.com/btp/mousefest.htm
Thursday, December 9th -
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Meet - Join host Deb Wills of AllEarsNet.com and Dave Card of Tagrel.com at the MK Rose Garden path 15 minutes before the fireworks! Get your MouseFest Pocket Guides and meet other Disney fans!

Maybe we can figure out a way to find each other there.

[Towncrier]

That sounds like a good plan. :bounce:

[zurgswife]

Bump anybody else

We will be there...2 of us.....but now a possible 3 or 4...Yikes!

See you there!! I'll be listening for the bells!! :)

:wave2:

[tiggerwannabe]

Is anyone else here getting PS for dinner at MK from 6-7?
If yes, where?
I see LTT is an option and CP, what about Tony's, the Plaza Pavilion or counter service? Any suggestions?

This year, I'm hoping to find a Christmas Hat at WDW with Tigger and Bells on!

[JamesD]

John, I think we're going to be able to make it to MVMCP on Dec. 9th!
So, please add James & LindaD to your list.

You make it sound like so much fun! I'm somewhat hesitant because my friend (we usually do Disney together) cannot go now and so I am going alone ..I'm not the type who likes Disney alone, so am hoping mousefest won't feel soooo alone!

See you there!! I'll be listening for the bells!! :)

:wave2:

Oh my, don't feel alone....I'm going with a friend of mine, no hubbies, no kiddies this year, just a couple of 50 something's touring Disney solo....and you're from MA. too...when are you leaving, flying out of BOS? we leave the 8th on Jet Blue, return the 13th...Hopefully we'll meet up. Where are you staying?

[tiggerwannabe]

Pooh's Pal,

It seems BaciBecky has cancelled this year due to a welcomed job offer. She said not to worry, she's already planning a trip for Dec 2005 at the GF with a friend. HI BB:wave2: I know she'll enjoy it there, I was just there with my GF in May for 4 days & we loved it!

Anyone know where the MK Rose Garden Path is? I have an MK map, but cannot seem to figure out where the meet will be.

:cool1:

[KristaTX]

Tiggerwannabe - the Rose Garden is a big area just off the main bridge that leads from the hub to Tomorrowland. There are some windy sidewalks down through there. I don't think it should be too hard to find the group :).

[tiggerwannabe]

Thank you KristaTX!

I was almost positive that that's where it is...see you in December!

[dreaminofdisney]

Count myself and my daughter Darian in for the party.

Our first holidays at WDW!

Our first MVMCP!

We even have PS for LTT before the party at 4pm!!

See you all there!!!

[RaySharpton]

:wave: Hi, everyone. It looks like a big party on the 9th. I look forward to seeing everyone.

As a side note, if you look at the mousefest thread, I put links to the Pocket Guides to Events for anyone to browze or print and cut and staple and make the same Mousefest Guide to the Events that they will be handing out the the MVMCP that night.

[WDW Poly Princess]

I'll be there as well!

[leise]

we'll be there, too. 4 of us :hyper: :sunny:

[daisylove]

Hi there
I actually have to take us off this list. It looks like we will be going on the 10th rather than the 9th. I am so bummed because I was looking forward to meeting so many o you but it just does not work with our traveling that day.:(
Everyone have a great time. i will still have my green mickey heads on my stroller and backpack so say hi if you see us that weekend.

[Towncrier]

Sorry you can't make it on the 9th. I've added your name to the list for December 10th and bumped the thread back to the top. Perhaps some other DISers will post on that thread.

If you are still in town on the 11th, drop by the Swan Ballroom Salon 10 between 1PM and 3PM. You're bound to meet a lot of DISers (and other Disney fans) at that time.

[daisylove]

Thanks! I will do my best to do that!

[Kimmie5870]

We will be there also on the 9th..We will also make the meet at 7:00pm at the Hall of Presidents...Hope to see alot of Disers there!!! :cool1: :cool1:

[daisylove]

Now not only am I missing the 9th now the 10 was sold out when I was there this weekend so I am not going to MVMCP untiil the 12. Oh well more schedule shifting.

[Minnie&Nana]

We will be there also on the 9th..We will also make the meet at 7:00pm at the Hall of Presidents...Hope to see alot of Disers there!!! :cool1: :cool1:


Hi! :wave:

I cannot find info for the Hall of Presidents meet at 7p.m. - is it a DIS meet on the 9th at MVMCP?? If so, want to be sure to be there! Info, please?

Thanks much!

[Towncrier]

Good question. Does anybody remember if there is a meet planned at 7PM that night?

[tiggerwannabe]

Delswife & The Zurgs are meeting at the Hall of Presidents at 7.
It's a casual meeting.

There is also a casual meeting for the 9:15 fireworks at the Castle Rose garden.
The garden is to the left of the tomorrowland bridge & to the right of the castle.

[GinaGrumpyDwarf]

I'll be there on the 9th...my first Holiday season in Disney...cant hardly WAIT!!!
