DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[wnwardii]

So will there be buses/transportation provided to take us to any WDW Resort at the end of the EPCOT party? Or will we need to arrange our own transportation? I am probably not the only one who is not staying at one of the resorts that is part of the group rates. So just trying to understand what our options will be.

Wow! What an awesome event!! Can't wait to be there and hear more details on other meet ups and events during the week.

Since it's so late, it will just be me attending while my husband stays back with our 2 yr old unless anyone has suggestions for a babysitter? My husband is extremely hesitant to use a service.

Also, I love that this is my 1,000th post. Finally getting to meet up with other board members and podcast listeners, 10 yrs and 1,000 posts later.

I almost feel like Sheldon, after Penny gave him Leonard Nimoy's DNA on a napkin.

Quick question.

Are they gonna be nitpicky about IDs?

I know for alcohol purchases, they require passports for non US citizens. In this instance, would something like a driver's license be okay, even if it was issued in a different country?

Also, I registered under Marie because that's my commonly used name, but my IDs show my full name which is hyphenated (not a middle name). Is that likely to be a problem?


In other news, soooo excited for this! Epcot is my wife's favorite park (and IllumiNations her favorite nighttime show) so she's over the moon right now.

I would love to do this. I didn't even know about it but that just happens to be the day we get to Disney. Too bad I can't afford to pay that much for my 11 month old to sleep through it all and I doubt I can convince my husband to watch the kids while I go. Oh well

 

[mrzrich]

Just booked! Can't wait!

@WebmasterJohn Hi John. I just wanted to let you know that the confirmation email for the party is saying the event is July 1st, 2017. Will the email still work if it says that date? My Dad and I are looking forward to this event! Thank you for everything that all of you do!

Looks like it'll be an amazing event! Won't be able to swing 2 trips down within a month, but will live vicariously through all your posts. Enjoy!

Once we see how many people are signed up and what resorts are represented we will make a decision and announcement on possible transportation.

For admission to the event any government issued ID with your name and picture will be fine. To purchase alcohol (there will be cash bars) I don't know - bring whatever you think you will need.

Also, I registered under Marie because that's my commonly used name, but my IDs show my full name which is hyphenated (not a middle name). Is that likely to be a problem?

That will not be a problem.

Wow! My first DIS meet and I couldn't be more excited. Thank you so much for setting this up!

My resort has changed since I did the pre-registration. Any way to update that?

We'll take care of stuff like that once we get closer and have a better idea of what might be done about transportation.
