DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[ItsLayne]

I've registered for the event and will be solo for that portion of my trip. Other friends will be joining me later - it gave me a perfect excuse to come to this party, even though I have no idea what to expect! But yeah, the 1st is the first day of a trip I already had booked up, so the timing was just too perfect. Can't wait to hear about more details about the party and everything else!

Also... hello all. I'm new.

Hi! I am new. I am thinking about flying out just for the party. My sweet husband doesn't think I'm crazy and is actually encouraging me to do it, Lol.I will be solo but who cares I will be at Disney with Disney people!

A lot of us are solo this trip! It was actually my husband's idea that I take this trip!

Yay for all the solo people! I do not have a Facebook account (I know shameful) but will keep an eye out on the boards for any group meet ups. Also anyone feel free to message me!

I am also excited it conincides with the opening of Pandora.

You can also post on the Unoffical Meetup thread!

I wonder if we can start a thread of solo travelers for this event? It would be nice to be able to see if our interests cross especially when we get more information on the other events for the DIS 20th!

Sounds like a plan to me, as I will be solo aslso! So low you can't hear me ?

I let it slip out to my wife about Jodi Benson, and we have decided to come! I saw Jodi Benson in Crazy for You (Gershwin musical) on Broadway in the early 1990's. Not to mention wearing out the Little Mermaid tape with my daughters. Very excited!

Han Solo's cousin?

 

[Riverhill]

So excited. Just booked today! Looking forward to this event so much. First time in disney with no kids.

 

[GAN]

ha ha! I had the same issue! I chose poster.

MaryJo ..so you will be there. I'll look for you, hopefully I run into you. I was at DL last July and we were both at the Flag Retreat but I found out after the fact ...I was bummed because it would have been nice to say hello!

Jodi Benson put me over the edge. I'm going to be in WDW with my husband's HS orchestra during the anniversary celebration. Up until yesterday I just thought to myself "well, maybe I'll run in to a podcast team member in the parks, but I can't really go to any of the events." We will be in Epcot the day of the party and as soon as John said Jodi's name, I was furiously texting my husband telling him I was going to the party and would need to take a cab back to the hotel that night. I'll probably be a zombie the next morning, but I don't care. The 6 year old little girl who still lives inside of me NEEDS to see Jodi Benson.

I so want to go to the June 1 party but it's just a couple weeks after we get back from an already-planned/can't-change trip. Airfare plus hotel plus party tickets would be at least a thousand bambinos to do a return trip, all for a now three hour party! But yes, we're still thinking about it! Listening to the Podcast recap will be torture if we don't go.

Han Solo's cousin?

That was a Tiki Room reference

Han Solo's cousin?

Sode note: I love that the code name for the new Han Solo movie is "Red Cup"

Yes ..very clever!

 

[YZFMoose]

coming from Hamilton Ontario!

O Yes! We are a bit more northern, from the NWT. We should all do a Canadian meet up while at the party!!

I just want to make sure everyone heard me on the show - extending the party has not been finalized yet. I am 99% sure it will happen but until I have it in the contract from Disney I can't guarantee it.

I just watched the Dreams unlimited tour of the Disboard welcome centre (cdn spelling). I was just wondering if any of those lovely people are coming to this party as well? Is there any chance to send Merch from there to Northern Canada?

 

[OKW Lover]

I'm sure John and Teresa will be there.

Perhaps @newmouse2008 can answer this.

I was just able to watch the beginning of today's Podcast and I just wanted to comment how much I loved that John surprised Pete with the news and I loved Pete's reaction - just brought a smile to my face

I love when Pete goes all "fan boy". His excitement is contagious and genuine. It got me out to DLR last month, a trip I planned last summer after the 60th Anniversary trip they took and we're going on 2 DCL cruises (May and July) after watching the podcasts on there 3 night Dreams. I'm also booked on the Viking Italy trip, something I did not expect but darn it, it sounded awesome. These podcasts are costing a fortune!

I thought I was going to talk my husband to death last night at dinner. We went out for his birthday and I NON-STOP talked about this event.

Yes but was he listening? I can practically hear the click when my DH tunes out!

I am so excited now! I was going to go solo for much of the week but my DD is taking an online class this summer instead of at a local college so she can now come with me!! I just dropped John a note to let him know about a problem I was having registering her* and I told him when I joined the disboards she was 5 and in Kindergarten when I joined as MaryKatesMom and now Mary Kate is a Freshman in college Man, the hours I've spent here.

* The problem I was having with the registration form was it wouldn't let me submit it without something in the disboards name field even though the directions say leave it blank so I typed in the word "Blank" and I didn't want him to think I was being snarky.
