I can't hold out any longer... Joining the party and heading to Boardwalk! Can't wait

Hehe, thought about upgrading the first part of my stay to one of the Port Orleans resorts, but then noticed the last day to book rooms at the group rate was.... yesterday. Here's to having great ideas too late!

Then again, I'm not even sure the group rate booking page has been updated as availability closed for each bank of rooms, so it might not have worked out anyways. Plus, the last thing I want to do is make a change that may jeopardize my fastpasses for those first 4 days.

I said Jellyrolls earlier in this thread. My hubby and I have a complete week of partying planned. Love to meet up and rock out to some amazing tunes.

I suggest Atlantic Dance for a takeover instead.

Glad to hear you got confirmation on the International Gateway! I had a feeling that a CM Escort was going to be the solution there - can't have us running off and hiding in Morocco or something.

Me too! I'm at the Dolphin on points. Darn, the restrooms in Morocco are my favorite. There is never anyone in there and therefore are always the cleanest.

I was thinking the same thing - though keep in mind they haven't confirmed if the international gateway entrance will be open for leaving after the party or not and you will still have to go to the main EPCOT entrance to check-in for the party.

Still definite location advantages (good point about that likely being the credential distribution location - though, again, not confirmed) - just a heads up that might not be as good in the end

Very Happy staying at the Boardwalk Inn is working out after all! YAY TO a Boardwalk Party

I'm going to have to remember that... It's gotta be better than that very tiny, very busy bathroom between Canada and Future World.

There's bathrooms in Morocco?!?

The new Norway bathrooms are pretty nice, as far as bathrooms go. We just avoid Germany at all cost.

I hear the echo is horrible in there!

What-ut-ut-tut-ut-ut???? Can't hear you with the echo.

 

[BlvInMagic]

We'll be staying at Pop... keeping fingers crossed that there will be Resort bus transportation arranged for after the party ends

So who's up for a Dinner meet and greet at Boatwright's Dinning Hall? I hear the food is terrible so we should have the place to ourselves.

Hi all.

Super excited about both bits of John's news. Used it as an excuse to upgrade the last 2 nights of our stay to the Beach Club Now we can stroll back at 1.00 am instead of busing/cabbing to Pop. Only thing I am not sure of is how to get to the front entrance of Epcot for 9.30 if I don't have a park ticket that day. Also thanks Kevin for what you said on the podcast about wanting to meet people. It made me feel so much better about saying hello to any of the gang I see. 4 weeks tomorrow we will be finishing packing.

You can always take busses up until the parks close I believe. I don't know what time the busses stop running from the resorts.

If you wanted to go visit any of the MK resort area resorts for any reason, you can always take the monorail to EPCOT. I would get on the EPCOT monorail just before 9 or right after 9 if you wanted to make it in time for the party. You get on the EPCOT monorail by transferring monorails at the TTC.

Uber/cab is always an option.

Germany and UK - excessive beer consumption equals more restroom use.

He is so sincere!

Since you can't do the IG without a park ticket, to get to the front of EPCOT you may have to take the bus to MK, monorail to the TTC and then onto the monorail to the front of EPCOT. That will be time consuming but for less than $10 take an UBER to the front. I do it all the time from the Dolphin. If you come through the IG at RD you will be behind everyone that came in the front turnstiles regardless of how early you get there.

Hey, I resemble that comment!

Nice to know about the IG. First time at an Epcot area resort.
