Disney Channel Games 2008???

[joed911]

How can we get passes to watch the taping of the 2008 Disney Channel games?
We attended two 4 hour shifts and had a blast.
Our kids are getting A's in school and we'd love to be seat fillers again.

Thank you

HAL'S NOTE: I'm told that Disney Channel will release information soon. For the latest, head on over to

From Hals Blog...posted april 4th

I also got the same infor from radio disney orlando as the above posters. Still vague. Would not say who was there or not there. I tried both ways..lol. Either way I am thinking that if fan fest is at DHS it could not be that fan friendly. All the people there in that park to compete with. I wish and still hope it is at WWOS. This way only the people who really care will be there.
Keep watching.

hi i am so mad i missed out on getting tickets this year, i myself am the big disnye channel fan, i was trying to find out when they were coming ot and never could, believe it or not i even work in disney and still heard nothing! i promised 4 of my friends' sisters i would work some magic but so far no luck. i dont wnat anyone to go out of their way but there are 6 of us, any amount would be amazing, if anyone over asked for tix and realize they wont need them i can them up at will call or so the day of teh show, or if anyone has any ideas, i mean i guess we can sit in the parking lot and listen but we'd really appreciate going!
thanks,
joey

I'm just letting you know because I don't want you to get in trouble, but we have been warned not to ask, swap, or sell tickets on this thread. Apparently there are other sites that you can do this on, so you might want to google it and see what you find.

There will not be a "fanfest" at any of the theme parks.

Since you seem so confident in your information, I'm wondering if you could maybe enlighten those of us that are planning on being there what the shooting schedule is for the games? I've got the kids out of school and we have the concert tickets, just wondering what days the games will actually be filmed. Or - do you know if/when/where Disney is planning to make an official announcement?
Thank you!!

somewhere other than the theme parks? Or does it mean there is no fanfest *at all*?

I like your thinking!
If you are able to, can you enlighten us with your teachings?

It "sounds" like lxh11 is "telling" us that Fan Day will be at WWoS,but that is JUST a guess. Go back and read the 3 posts that lxh11 has posted-they are VERY detailed with specific information.Unless I am COMPLETELY misreading the situation,I think lxh11 knows just about everything there is to know about the 2008 Disney Channel Games.

 

[joed911]

Lets not call them out....lol

Lets just hope that they give us ALL the information that they know and keep us posted on new info....

I apologize if the question has been asked and answered many times on this discussion board...just too much to read 40+ pages to find out

Does anyone know the exact dates for the filming of the 2008 Disney Channel Games? The concert is May 3, right?

Thank you!

 

[joed911]

We are not sure about the taping schedule but the dates are from April 28th to May 3rd. Concert the 3rd.
The 2008 Disney Channel Games are coming to Disney’s Wide World

Needing to schedule time off work for these events...driving from TN to Orlando, FL~

Can't wait to get to the Sunshine State!

It has some information about the games in general including this statement, which I'm taking to be a hopeful sign for fan interaction

For about a week, performers will mingle, compete in offbeat athletic events, meet fans and put on concerts, all of which will be taped for programming to air this summer.

Thanks for the link!there was some GREAT new information in the article.This is the first time I have seen it announced that the International DC Stars will be participating again this year. Also,the article says that taping will be for 10 hours per day which sounds about like last year.

No,the crowds were AMAZINGLY small last year for the daily tapings and I expect the crowds this year to be about the same.The ONLY reason the crowds are manageable is because the Florida schools are in session.If the Florida schools were not in session-OH MY!Actually the perceived negative changes for this year's DCG could keep some people away and the crowd could even be smaller.

Me? Not so much! LOL

I hope you're right.
