DISApalooza 2013 - Official Information Thread

I would just need a ride back to AKL as I will be at Hollywood Studios that day. Corinna

I'll be at Hollywood Studios that day as well, but noticed the park closes at 8pm, so gonna have to do something for an hour and a half or so before the party starts... I'm thinking about resort hopping a bit at the Boardwalk/Swan/Dolphin, etc...

It's too bad Uber doesn't operate in Orlando!

On my confirmation email it states to report outside the park at 8:30. That actually should work out perfect. This allows me to finish whatever I ma doing at park closing and then leisurely walk to the exit.

Good call... Just re-read the confirmation email and noticed the 8:30 time to be at the entrance... Got Fantasmic! PF+s for that day... Hopefully that all works out.

My flight is supposed to arrive at 5 at Sanford. If it's delayed, 8:30 may be cutting it close.

I didn't get an email stating where to meet up....would anyone like to share that info with me?

I just figured we would close the park at 8, then just hang out around the front until party time.

Has there been any word on transportation after?

Here is the relevant part from the confirmation email:

Please arrive at the entrance to Disney Studios approximately one hour prior to the event start. No park admission media is required to attend this event - just your party credentials. At that time you will be escorted in groups back to the party.

They stated on yesterday's podcast that they were working on it and would post info on the boards.

Some folks are arranging to collect donated items for Give Kids the World the night of the party - details are here http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3193315

HS closes at 8pm that night.. will we be able to get a bus from AKL to HS around 8pm or a little after? Thinking they would still be transporting people back to the resorts.. just not sure how that works if you want to go TO the park that's closed already.

 

[dolphingirl47]

We once tried taking a bus to Magic Kingdom around closing time when we had dinner at Jiko and tried to get back to Bay Lake Tower. They would not let us on the bus as the park was about to close.

I will have a car and am staying solo at ASSports. Will be willing to transport 3 or 4 people (or however many people we can fit in rental car) back to whatever resort after the HS event.

 

[Claudia Kellenberger]

So .... My bus transportation after the party is now paid. BUT ..... I have a question. On one part of that transportation e-mail it strongly implies that the paid, special bus transportation is ROUND TRIP, and yet on another part it strongly implies that it is only special transportation AFTER the party.

Please clarify.

 

[Claudia Kellenberger]

OK - I think I now have the answer. I see the update on the original post.
Transportation is one way - back to your resorts for the night.

Please forward me the email you receied were it strongly implies it is roundtrip - john@dreamsunlimitedtravel.com - that needs to be corrected as it is only one way after the event

John any idea when you will information on the podcast recording date, time and location? Just curious about when that will be. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the paths between DHS and the Swan, Dolphin and Boardwalk area hotels stays open? I'd rather walk back after all those delicious treats!

 

[jcb]

We walked back to the Dolphin after the 2008 TSM Party. It was spectacular.

Last I checked, there aren't any gates on the path so I don't know how the path could be closed.

There didn't used to be gates on the pools, either. You never know. I look forward to taking that gorgeous walk back! Thanks!! Will you be there this year, too?
