Hi Folks
I know you are all super anxious for details on DAP 2013. We have still not worked out the details with Disney yet, which is why nothing has been announced, but I want to share some information with you now so some of you can make plans (and I also understand Pete has 'leaked' some info to the folks on the current Backstage Magic ABD).
Below is what I can tell you now. As details are finalized I will release more. Please do not contact me asking for more details or to be placed on a waitlist as none exists.
Thanks
John

In addition we have some surprise guests who will meet you at the front of Disney Studios for the walk back. They should get there about 20 - 30 minutes before the event start time and I wouldn't want anyone to miss them.
NOTE: Your credentials will still say 9:30PM start. We got them back from the printers after we knew the start time had changed. Your credentials will be accompanied with a letter that does list the new start time. Credentials will be mailed starting on Monday 11/11.
