DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[GAN]

lol I'm starting to like you

Hey ...what's not to like!

Are the tickets bought through the group eligible to upgrade to an ap?

I've been told by the Group Reservations CMs twice that the group tickets can't have a day added to them beyond 8 because they are special tickets. I assume that means that they can't be upgraded to an AP either. I assume that this is due to the discounted price.

Just wondering if Disney buses will be running to the resorts on June 1st after midnight from the Epcot Party?
I apologize if this has already been addressed but there are a lot of pages on this thread to search.

that was asked early on - and John indicated they would wait until they knew what resorts were booked / how many people / etc and then look into options ... don't believe anything new since then

Does the hotel quote include taxes and such or is it just the room rate?

Thanks,
Maggie

I'm 99% sure this hasn't been addressed, but I'd like to know how early before 9:30 we can check-in to the party. Hoping for more details from the team soon that clarify that we don't all need to walk over to the entrance around 9pm. Check-in for arrivals around 5 (people arriving to the park for dinner and beyond) or so would be awesome, but I realize to make that happen, someone has to be standing there for hours.

I'd volunteer just to get to meet everyone

I am in a planning mood. Now Happily Ever After is scheduled to go off at 9PM on June 1st. Do you think I would be able to watch that then get to the party in time? I am trying to gauge crowd levels and what not.

I'm going with a strong no.

 

[Madonna3]

Yeah it's 18 minutes so that would be 9:18. If I did this I would take the monorail to Epcot as well.

You can't count on the monorail. In an ideal world, it will be working, but it goes down so often that you're taking a risk.

Other option, snag a taxi to Epcot from MK.

No one from our team will be at Epcot before 9:30PM to check you in and Disney CMs won’t know what to do until we get there.

All park guests will need to leave the park when it closes so even if you’re there for dinner etc you will not be able to stay in the park – just come out the front entrance.

 

[Madonna3]

We'll be coming in from Montreal!

My husband is from there. He's a transplant to Florida now. I'm sure he'd like to meet you.

Good to know. Thanks!

Is this going to sell out?

Was hoping to buy our spots after we return from or Disney trip (around the last week of April) I know May 1 is the deadline but will it sell out? Is that a possibility?

Thanks!

Edit- sorry forgot to put that I was referring to the Epcot night lol

Anything is a possibility. I kinda think they're counting on it selling out as that is the way I am sure they figured out the per person pricing. I would buy as soon as you can.

They wouldn't be able to take the bus from the Contemporary to EPCOT. They would still have to take the monorail and that monorail line after fireworks at the Contemporary is way to long.

Just wondering if Disney buses will be running to the resorts on June 1st after midnight from the Epcot Party?

There will be no Disney transportation available from Epcot after the party (i.e. no buses, no boats, no monorail)

Once we are done with accepting sign-ups for the party we will work on transportation back to a Disney resort hotel. Just be aware this will be at a cost for this transportation as we will have to contract with an outside company. I won’t know the cost until we are done with sign-ups and I have an idea how many people may need transportation.

 

[Madonna3]

Fastpasses for Avatar and the River cruise are WIDE open for 06/03.

 

[Madonna3]

My hubby and I will be staying at CBR for this event. If there is another couple who needs a ride back from the Epcot party back to CBR we may be able to assist as we'll probably drive.

Yeah I realized that after I typed it. I thought I snagged the edit before anyone noticed

 

[Madonna3]

I am beyond excited as evidenced by my 100 posts today.

I was kind of hoping to know the events by now so I could make sure my dining plans won't interfere with anything.

Is anyone going to wear anything identifying besides their credentials?
