Hi All

I will be using this thread as the official place to post all of the information about our upcoming event in Disneyland. As I confirm details with Disney I will make sure they get posted here. Please keep checking back for more information as it develops.

Here is an email I just sent to everyone currently signed up for our event....


Subject: News About our DIS/Dreams August Event and Party - Toy Story Mania will be down for rehab at that time

Hi All

I have received official word that Toy Story Midway Mania will be down for rehab during our August Dis/Dreams Event and will not available to us during our party.

I am super disappointed by this news as I consider Toy Story Midway Mania the ‘perfect’ ride for our event. Folks love riding it more than once – sometimes to beat their best score, sometimes to beat others scores

I’m working with the Disneyland Events team to see if they can come up with an alternate for us but it is not looking good.

If this is a ‘deal breaker’ for you and you wish to cancel and get your money back I completely understand. Just reply to this email and let me know you would like to cancel and I will take care of refunding your payment.

I am very sorry for this.
John
