Nooooooo, not the "teacher look" - that scares me more than the tag fairy.

I am sure Snikki will drop a few "tag worthy" comments during the trip!

The Tag Fairy is always watching and listening, even in the real world!

Okay, DAP Disers, I wanted to do a little something special during my trip next week.




I don't know if you are familiar with Mousewait. It's an App that was started to give wait times at Disneyland. It's a very popular app that now has a WDW version.

One of the fan favorite activities is called RAK, random acts of kindness. Users post giveaways to the first person who finds them or finds the item hidden in a particular location. It is a lot of fun and a great way to meet fellow fans.

Some items include simple things like fastpasses or pins hidden behind signs or under benches. Some people offer a free dole whip or mickey bar to the first person who finds them near a certain attraction, etc.

So, I'm creating my own version, I'll call it ATOM, "a touch of magic". I'll be wearing my lime green mickey tag with my username, Halloweenqueen, on it. Find me and you can have your pick of one item in my goodie bag. I'll have Disney pins, lighted necklaces, pens, etc. One ATOM per group/family please. While supplies last. I also will not have my bag at DAP.

I'll give a major hint...I'll tell you my park schedule.

Dec. 9th- Friday-Epcot
Saturday-AK
Sunday-MK-and MVMCP
Monday-HS

I'll also be staying at POP. So keep a look out!

What a fun idea!

Hey John,
I was just wondering what the final head count is for the party?

I've been burning up the photographer's ephemeris trying to find a place to get a good shot of the moonrise. I'm about to have to give in and ask the uber nerds on the photography board where they go.

What a fun idea! We're doing MVMCP on Sunday as well, so I will definitely look for you there! Friday is our DTD/DQ day, Saturday is Resort Touring Day I think since the parks are going to be more crowded that day, and Monday is one of our Epcot days (we're doing Candlelight Processional that day). We're staying at Kidani 12/4 - 12/14, our longest trip ever.

Now if I just had my work (work work, I mean as in 'job' work) done, and if only I had one blessed thing packed, I could relax!!!

I am going to the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on Sunday, December 11 too.

 

[Iggipolka]

I am looking forward to meeting you too! I have seen you DIS name so many times that it'll be good to put a face to the name. Stop me and say hello!

Woo! I will! Wow, Nikki knows my Dis Name. I feel oddly excited about that!

 

[Justin Jett]

You've [GULP!] MET Leo? Have you met Patrick or Kevin? I used to just swoon over Patrick in the Utilikilt. I know...TMI! Chris was so young, I always thought of him as such a kid, and was thrilled for his successes so young. I do think of you kind of the way I used to think of Chris, and I just can't wait to meet you! You know EVERYONE!! You're the cool guy!

And yes, I'm pretty terrified about meeting the holder of the Big Book of Grievances. I'm nervous about meeting Pete and Kevin, too! If I have to I could try to hide behind Husband, but he's really shy. In truth, I'll talk to anyone. Everyone. Especially after a few drinks. I almost never drink, so it doesn't take much, LOL!

Do I get salt and lime? If so, I'm there!

I have never personally met Leo, but I do have a close friend, at Lenovo, who gets interviewed on TWiT and CNET a few times per year. Between watching Leo for a long time, and what my buddy has told me.......I know that meeting Leo is a lot easier than meeting the Genius. Fear the Genius!

Pirillo is 2 years older than I am. He went to school in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I went to school in Mason City, Iowa. Chris found himself, but I am still trying to find myself.

Norton makes you swoon, does he? Seriously? Norton is 5 years older than I am.

If you want me to go with you to meet Pete and Kevin, we can do that.

FEAR THE GENIUS!!!!!!

Let's talk about the "Owl Post." I have a question - Do we have to purchase items from WWOHP to mail from the Owl Post? Or could one bring a letter (let's say christmas card) and mail it from there? What about stamps?

No I'm not going to mail my Christmas cards from there...well maybe one or two maybe...

 

[Iggipolka]

I am going to the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on Sunday, December 11 too.

Arugh. I'm so torn about going to the Christmas Party. I'm really debating about going or not because I leave early Monday morning. It just sounds like so much fun though. Especially since so many Dis'ers are going to be there! Decisions, Decisions.

Who is this Snikki person you speak of?

I think that this is such a fun idea. Many years ago I organized something similar by mail (think along the lines of secret pals). It was a lot of fun. I love the fact that you are doing it during DAP to get to know people. Kudos to you!

Nah, just putting on the teacher hat to scare Mikey.

Woo! I will! Wow, Nikki knows my Dis Name. I feel oddly excited about that!

Be sure to stop me! I am terrible with spotting people. Many know who I am (oddly enough -giggle-), so be sure to ask someone where I am. Hmm...first person from this thread to find Nikki gets a...um...free butterbeer?

This was discussed on the WWoHP special that was on TV the other night. From what I understand, it is just like the Main Street USA mailboxes in Magic Kingdom. You should be able to bring whatever you want and mail it from the Owl Post. It will receive a special stamp.

If I was going to be around, I'd probably go. It's a lot of fun to do with family and friends.

Who needs sleep? You should go to the party! They have cookies!

I'm going commando on this trip. Too many wonderful things to do, see, eat! It's been two years since I've been to WDW.

Heh, normally I would be right with ya, but I'm at the end of the 1st trimester with with a new podcast listener, so sleep is a big part of my life right now. Sleeping and eating. If I could sleep eat, I'd be really happy.

Still debating though. I went a couple of years ago and it really was a fun party. Two fun parties in one weekend! Woo! What a concept!

You're not wearing any underwear during DAP???? You'll be popular!

Sayhello

No, Commando touring....I'll be wearing my magical underwear to the party!

 

[Zzizzy]

Just out of curiosity who else is interested in purchasing a wand?

Yes, no question.

I've been a magician since high school and an HP fan since the movies came out. Getting a wand is one of the signature activities for this event. I can't think of a better group to do it with.

I am 500 years older than all of you. Leo and I are about the same age, though I have a few years on him, too. Doesn't keep me from swooning over Patrick in a kilt. I swoon over most men in kilts. Must be the Scottish blood of me ancestors ::said in the best brogue I can muster:: !

Of course I want you to go with me to meet Pete and Kevin. And I'm counting on you to protect me from the Genius (he didn't promise not to explode or jump, you know)! Help me, please??

I didn't know anything about mailboxes on Main Street. Duh. You'd think by my forth trip, and owning most every edition of every guidebook written, I might have gleaned this tidbit, but no...

If I was going to be around, I'd probably go. It's a lot of fun to do with family and friends.

You took the words right out of my mouth! It's been 2 years for me too, but I really think that I'll have to don my skivvies. It's gonna get chilly in the evenings, and the vinyl seats on those ECV's get cold!
