***OI Meetup*** Winter dates announced

[Pyxie]

In all fairness to your travel agent, dates were not announced as of December last year. They announced them in May or June. The dates are not the same weekend every year, I don't think.

Glad you got tickets though!

Well not only that, quite frankly a travel agent isn't going to tell you about this event because they don't get commission on it (or the discounted hotel rates).

Does anyone know when the lottery for Pteranodon Flyers is announced? This will be my 5th meetup and really hoping I can get it this time.

It's typically 2 weeks before the Meetup date. When they send an email with all the check-in and food details read it closely. They'll be a link in there.

They are the two hotels on the old wet and wild plot of land. It’s like all stars over at Disney for a not quite apples to apples comparison.

Dockside is bigger and has 2 pools compared to Surfside having 1. Other than that, they are basically the same.

I'm already excited about December, is it wrong to be getting fired up over a month before?

 

[GreyStr0ke]

Has anyone received email regarding the Pteranodon Flyers today? I'm hoping they haven't been sent yet and my chances of getting on are still a possibility. lol

 

[Wells Larsen]

I got it yesterday.
Though, it was in the logistics email. If you just purchased a ticket -- I would imagine the sign up would be in there and you would still get an opportunity to sign up for the flyers

It said they won't reveal if you got picked until Nov 28

*EDIT*
I realized only after seeing Ivdis's response. I was responding from the perspective of the Dec 1st & 2nd dates. Sorry if I caused confusion.

I got an email this morning saying our group was picked to ride Friday Nov 17.

 

[GreyStr0ke]

Well crap. 5th informer and 5th time not getting the stupid Flyers. Might have to trade some one some Ruby Passes for theirs.

Presale for tickets begins in about 1 hour for those going

Got my tickets for first weekend in December again. This will be my 4th year in a row. 3rd time going both nights.

 

[GhostHost24]

Got mine for Dec 13...will be my 3rd time going..

It's interesting you now have to enter names of your party.

We will be attending Sat. Nov. 16 after getting off a cruise that morning. We have been two 2 events before, both in Dec, so I’m curious to see any differences. Really love Universal’s Christmas decor so I hope some is up by then.

Hoping to be back to our normal Dec. weekend in 2025.

Can’t wait to let the kids try all the Harry Potter drinks! DS is finally tall enough to ride Hulk so that should be fun too.

 

[MrBellatrixLestrange]

I'm really curious how/if they'll incorporate EU into these events? Seems likely it won't be part of next year's plans but hopefully in the future it will in some form.

 

[GhostHost24]

I csnt see them being allowed to rent out epic for a few years. But we'll see!

 

[MrBellatrixLestrange]

I'll be attending December 13th and 14th, I generally try to get the one closest to Christmas and farthest from month end.

Yeah, I expect it may take some time and not sure if it might be a separate, simultaneous event or what.
