2025 Wine and Dine

[Dopey 2020]

Deleted … changing plans maybe

 

[mollygirl13]

Due to a change in plans today, I sadly will not be going to Wine & Dine. We had to cx our trip completely. I have 2 tickets to the EPCOT afterparty for sale if anyone wants them. DM me if interested. I'd hate to see them go to waste.

Got my After Party ticket in the mail today and having issues linking it in the app. Anyone else trying to link their tickets and they're disappearing?

Same for my bestie and I!

For anyone with the same issue as me where you link your Post Race party admission tickets to MDE and it seems to disappear from your Tickets- look under My MagicBands and Cards. Mine was in there.

I did see mine in there, but had a ton so I had to match the number on the card to the one on my ticket. It did not show the date I linked it either (10/6), but showed 9/30, which I'm guessing is the date it was issued?

Still waiting on our tickets.....

On other news (without getting political on agreeing with it or not)... anyone starting to worry about govt shutdown and the impact on our airports... from our local news, the delays have already started and it will only get worse if the government shutdown keeps going... and goes on till our race weekend. I know there is nothing we can do about, it is like worrying about weather but I cannot help it.

I entered my post race party tickets like I would enter our theme park tickets and I see them NOWHERE. I guess we better make sure we don't lose the physical card!

I have a party ticket if anyone wants it. Since it isn’t sold out, $75 for it? I am also willing to mail the physical ticket, if necessary. DM me. Thanks

Sorry, sold already

I worry about EVERYTHING airport-related! I booked the first flight of the day out, direct flight, and I'm local to a large Delta hub airport. Hoping for the best.

Can't believe we're under 3 weeks to go! I've done a decent job thus far getting my long runs in, usually doing 2 longer runs every weekend in prep for the challenge. Last weekend I essentially did the Challenge backwards (13m sat, 6 sun). Doing one more long run this weekend. Hopefully I will be semi-prepared for this race.

Does anyone know if you can buy a Lightning Lane pass if the post race party is the only admission for that day?

No LL passes for the party. Everything is standby only. Last year, the line for Guardians went all the way down to Space 220, but it went fairly quick. I think the line that long still took like 20 minutes to get into the first pre-show room.

The tickets don't get put in with the rest of your tickets. Why? I don't know. They hide within your Magicbands and cards. The ticket number will be there, but the type of ticket will not show up. So you'll just see that you have card number: 1234-AB56-789C mixed in with all your other cards and bands.

Take pictures of your party tickets just in case something does go haywire.

I think you mean for the actual party time of 10pm-1am? I am wondering about the mix in time between 5 and 10?

Oh, ok. I just looked it up, and the answers seem to point to no. Not unless you already have a day ticket that gets you into EP or an active AP for that day. It also sounds like most of the "good stuff" will already be long since taken anyway, by the time you got in at 5:00.

The best strategy seems to be to ride the not-so-good stuff during the 5:00-10:00 period, and then work your way to the big rides once the day guests are forced out.

I do use a day pass for Epcot even though I don’t show up till late afternoon and I have been able to make the LL for Guardians. Again, I am using a park pass that day as well. (I try to beat the long lines at the party entry myself.)

ah ok, thanks! Our situation is that we (wife, her sister, and I) have annual passes, my son does not, so thinking that if we wanted to go to EPCOT at 5, he could use the party ticket as his admission, then could the four of us all get lightning lanes to use during 5-10.

That does make it more difficult when 3 of you can and 1 can't. Will your son be using any other ticket that day, or is everyone waiting for the party before entering a park?

We would wait to 5pm to get in if we want to avoid adding another day to his 4 day ticket. And waiting is not an issue as I think we will all be recovering from the races during the day. And also eating.

At least you don't have to worry about your race being canceled entirely if the shutdown continues...
