They don't really announce much until the contracts and signed for locations they have to use. John at least was able to offer that the big party event will be the evening of june 1st and expect something like disapalooza and on disney property. I think it's getting pandora after hours but who knows.

I hate to be the guy that complains but man I'm not buying all this Pandora hype! The freaking movie is all most 10 years old and Disney has done nothing with the franchise since acquiring it. It will be a blast no matter where the location is but Pandora is sounding pretty lame. I guess I had my heard set on Cosmic Rays. Just think of how amazing that would be. You got cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, french fries! And the entire time your sang to by none other than the "Sunny Eclipse"! If we are lucky there could be some left over snow man cookies from the Christmas Party! Oh boy I can just taste em now!

This would be like waterboarding to me ;P

Well I never!

I cannot see Disney renting out Pandora the same week it debuts.

My best guess would be Fantasyland. All you can ride Peter Pan's Flight and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Maybe some princesses.

As much as I had been resisting a fruitless exchange of conjecture (I imagine John and Kevin blinking furiously at the thread wondering why we waste our energy), I admit that it's still entertaining!

I agree on Disney not renting out Pandora right away (or rather, I'd expect them to be running their own special events), so if we got in to Pandora after hours it'd only be because there was some special event already happening.

I still personally am thinking Epcot since Epcot's closing time never (rarely) changes, so the contract would be easier to draft up. Magic Kingdom's hours--being more fluid from week to week and often being extended in the weeks/days/hours leading up to a particular day, especially during busy periods like the end of May--to me makes it seem less likely that they would contract out an after-hours, in-park event there.

Future World seems like it'd be cheaper to staff a limited-access zone, especially if the Land pavilion wasn't open. And you could throw some cupcakes on a buffet table somewhere pretty easily. Plus, Epcot fits into my touring plan better. And as much fun as a 12a-2a (estimated) party in the Magic Kingdom could be, I'd be rubbish the next day (not that I wouldn't be willing to fall on that sword!).

We will see. I am sure it will be fun no matter what. My dream would be Sunset Boulevard. All you can ride RnR and ToT. Heck ya.

If you check out the newest images on google earth you can see what appears to be a large stage being erected in Pete's backyard behind the pool. It would line up with his 108 inch TV and block the area around the stables. You can see some of this through the window behind John on the latest podcast... I think we now know what Charles has been working on at the house.

Now that you mention it -I did notice some activity through the glass. Makes perfect sense.....

What we do will probably be lots of fun. I just want to know the timing so I can make flight arrangements. I have a room booked for May 28 - June 3, but if something is planned for June 3 , Saturday I'll extend my trip until Sunday.

 

[LuvEeyore]

I am not sure what John has come up with but bigger than anything they've done before...I thought Diagon Alley would be hard to beat. I really don't care what it is, I just want to know what it is!!! It will soon be time to make fast passes.
Where is everyone staying? I am staying in a cabin at Fort Wilderness. We are driving in Sunday after I get off work at 8am(I am really hoping I get to leave town between 6-7. I can answer my cell while my God daughter drives!!I think we will have different people in and out during the week. My goddaughter's best friend will be starting her college programs a couple of weeks before we get there.

In the meantime, I guess we will all checking the DiIS every few hours and waiting to Party!!

I'm coming in on Sunday, staying at the Poly(DVC) till Friday -then Friday I'm at SSR ...then back to Poly on Saturday. I'm waitlisted Friday at Poly so hoping that comes through -if not I'll be happy at SSR with everything going on at Disney Springs which I haven't had the chance to see yet.

Finally bit the bullet. Registered me and both the kids and booked our offsite condo. Still not certain of our dates.

OMG. This is incredible!!!!!

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

The HUGE hint has been revealed! That looks so much fun!!! Can't wait!!!

Question...I'm not sure how important this was, but when I registered for the event, there was no option for split stays. So, I put the resort that I would be at on the day of the party. I'm glad I chose the Boardwalk. Hopefully we will be allowed to walk to the IG exit with it being a private event after it is over.

 

[OKW Lover]

OMG!!! What a HUGE event!!!!

 

[PrncessA]

This sounds incredible! Can't wait!

 

[bartleyosu]
