Just be carefull with a group that size. I herd rumors from someone who used to help organize an event fro Mousefest and apparently Disney thought it was getting to big and they wanted the organizers to pay fro rides to be taken down so the group could go on it. Maybe divide up into smaller groups rather then all of you at once.

Yeah, I hate to be a wet blanket but I think it's kind of obnoxious for large groups to take over a ride. And I say that having participated in the "Sad Tea Party" (see YouTube) and other large events. I felt really bad for the regular guests. Not saying don't have a blast, just do think of others' experience. I trust you guys!

As for me, I'm taking Pete's advice and I'll actually be in Disneyland during this meet.

Have a magical trip to the Mother Park.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see anything posted about everyone meeting up at the same park or ride for the day. During these events, the park touring tends to be on your own or in a small group of DISers you coordinate with. There's no issue.

Yeah, I too was pretty sure this was just a hypothetical rather than an actual plan to all be together at the same time

We once took over the carousel at Hersheypark when we were on a choir tour years ago. We all got on and started performing while the ride was going. It was pretty neat actually and a lot of folks gathered around to hear us. Unfortunately they couldn't turn off the regular carousel music but we just sang over it. We were basically getting back at the park for not giving us permission to do an actual concert there.

I think the largest group was around 20-30 when Kathy had a meet up at Figment one time. Otherwise touring is usually on your own and not done as a group. I know the team has mentioned impromptu meet ups in the parks for the MM, but I don't think it'll be anything involving hundreds of DISers congregating in one area. That's when they do DISapalooza and rent a space and attraction.

I hate to say it but that reminds me of the international tour groups' singing and chanting. It definitely disrupts the ambiance of a public location when a large group takes over like that. It makes it uncomfortable for others and takes away from the theming. This is why Disney has cracked down and no longer allows tour groups to chant, etc. I'm sure you had good intentions, but I would not appreciate that during my park visit.

Back in 1980 when we did it, the park (Hershey) was way less crowded. At the time, the people around seemed to like it based on them gathering around and applauding when we were done, but I'm sure it would never fly today. Parks are way more crowded and security is far more present. It was a much simpler time. To be honest, I wouldn't appreciate it either at this point. #getoffmylawn

I have to say I'd have to be there, to see how it's done.....if the group seemed into it, and doing it with heart, I might even join in. I actually got "swept along" by a Brazilian tour group one time, all the way towards their bus outside the MK, when I managed to work my way free. Until then, I decided to just settle down, and join in the chanting and clapping, which made them all smile. It even ended up being a little fun, and obviously a lasting memory. Not saying I'd want this to happen, or see this ALL the time, but like i said - if the group seemed "into it", I might get "into it" too. Serendipity can be a wonderful thing.

there was a little wouln't it be interesting if we all did it.. in theory, we'll all be walking out of cirque about the same time not really about hit a ride or disrupt the place.

I suppose we could then take Jock Lindsey's by storm

Some might do that before.

Is there a hypothetical time for this hypothetical gathering at Jock Lindsey's?
