Thanks to John for organizing yet another fun event - and at our home parks! Webmaster Mary Jo and I are looking
forward to seeing you all there!

 

[Becx N Gav]

For anyone who frequents Disneyland regularly - do you think the picnic blanket will be available in August? I saw it and I just love it and was hoping to pick one up!

I don't know anything as a fact. Disney tends to change styles on a regular basis. My guess is that, if the picnic blanket is selling well, they will come out with new patterns that people can collect.

 

[MemphisMickey]

Wishing we would get some new info on event

On the Patreon after show Pete said it’s likely to be mid April when ticket details will be released! Just hope I can get tickets

 

[DharmaLou]

DD and I will be there that weekend, hopefully we can get a ticket to join!

 

[jimmymc]

I'll be on the ABD leading up to the event! Can't wait to see everyone.

 

[emmybee]

I wasn't going to go to DL this year, but this event may change my mind! Does anyone know if the blocked rooms will be at a discounted convention rate? If that's the case, I'm definitely going! Admittedly, I've been a long-time lurker of the boards, but I only started watching the videos last summer. I really enjoy the chats, and I'm crushing on Pete. My husband warned me to never meet my heroes! It's just that the gang are all very personable, I would just have to say hello

 

[kuzco-like]

I'll be on the ABD leading up to the event! Can't wait to see everyone.

So am I. Do you know if anyone started a thread about that ABD?

Haven't seen one yet; I might start one.
