Pirates 3 premier

[AllJackedUp]

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it....woo hoooo

For my birthday, I'm getting a trip to the premiere! CCI is booked....airline ticket bought...and even though we will have just been there in April, I'm goin' solo to the premiere!

That will be another item to mark off my list of things to do before I'm old...well, actually, I'm old now....but it will be pretty cool to watch all those people come down the red carpet...

I've been a huge JD fan for a long while...I even have Depp luggage...

Now, what to wear....besides lots of sunscreen.....????

Congrats, AllJackedUp!!!!
That's quite a birthday present!!!!
Make sure to post pics if you get any!
And an Orli pic taken for me wouldn't hurt


ETA:I'm sure you're not old...Age is only a number...I'm no spring chicken myself..LOL..

No clothes would definitely get more attention!!!

Seriously though, will you dress up in a gown or go more casual? I've never been to any kind of premier, so I don't know this stuff.

No, no, no...not that kind of premiere. We crazy folks just get to spend an entire day standing, sitting, broiling under the SoCal sun, just for a chance, a teensy-weensy chance, that Johnny Depp will walk by us, close enough for an autograph or picture, or touch....while HE goes to the premiere!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Why am I not reading this thread more often.

No clothes getting more attention That's great.

This is hysterical! I really wish I could go but I'm afraid my 2 kids wont let me stand there all day. I'll have to watch it on TV like I did last year.

Have fun to everyone who is going and know i"m home and jealous!!!

 

[wvnative]

The kid and I are both so excited about going. I can't wait!!!

We had no intentions of doing DL again so soon, but since I just happened to get my tax return when my friend asked us to come out.... I couldn't help myself. We'll arrive on the 18th.

As for what to wear, I'm thinking something comfy, my shades, and I need to find a visor.

 

[AllJackedUp]

Well, I haven't EXACTLY decided what to wear...but I will be wearing my Johnny watch...carrying my JD tote bag....and my GOOD Johnny t-shirt....and holding up lots of signs....although they have to be small ones, so I've heard.

But, what I'm really excited about is the possibility that Keith may go to the premiere...which would be soooooooo sweet.

I'll definifely post pics, if I get good ones....

Can anyone who was there last year tell me if Jack Davenport (Norrington) was there? I didn't see him on the carpet, but I was only watching the webcast...
Thanks!

I'm going to be visiting Disneyland for several days including the 19th. I'm making a solo trip to the west coast so I'd like to have someone to share spot holding with. Any group/DISer willing to welcome an East Coaster?

Carolyn, you may email me privately at misstink308@msn.com

I don't know how to send you a message on here.. I don't know if I don't have it set up or what...

Anyway, if you are interested, I'll certainly share my spot...I won't be hard to find, I'll be the one smiling so big, I'll look like a jack-o-lantern....

 

[Tinkerbelle's Mom]

Can I join in on the spot holding as well? Since I will going solo for the day I am sure at some point I may have to use the restroom.

Woohoo! It's starting to look like a party. I really wanted to do this but figured I'd give up if I didn't have someone to help spot sit. I've got to get my hotel booked. Which ones are near enough to walk to the gate? If I have to get there early I don't want to be wandering around lost. I know the on site hotels are all booked up. I'm so excited!

Is the movie premiring in May too then after the premiere at DL? When POTC 2 came last year didn't they say the release date for POTC 3 was going to be Labor Day '07??

I reallly wish I could be there for the premiere, but I have been there more than once when the park was so full they had to close it, in Dec & Jan. Did this happen for the premiers of 1&2 for those of you who were there?

I was just in DL in Jan. and I got the Johnny Depp hair wig and wore it around. LOL it was so much fun..everyone kinda looked at me crooked. Only a couple others had it on, and one guy stopped me on main street to ask where I got it!

I also got my brother the full flege davy jones costume for XMAS. Not that he can ever use it...but we still HAD to have it...lol

Right at the cross walk you have Best Western Park Place, Desert Inn, and Tropicana off the top of my head. We booked the Desert Inn. Rooms are going fast. In october we stayed at Anaheim Plaza and it wasn't too bad of a walk. Ramada Maingate would be good too. There's another one stuck in there by the crosswalk but I can't for the life of me remember the name.

We were there during the premiere last year. We weren't planning on "doing" the Red Carpet thing, but we ended up enjoying it after all.

We arrived at the park at about 7:45 AM & main street was already pcked with people camping out. I do suggest that you get there early enough to get a spot towards the beinning of Main St.

Hello all, I have a question for ya. My cousin and I are hoping to fly out for the POTC premier, and we were wondering if anyone went last time or knew what to expect. I've seen some reports online that it will happen on May 19, with the park opening at 6:30am! I figure we'd have to get there early to get a spot and keep it parked there all day, but does a park ticket ensure that you can attend the premier, or will they kick everyone out at closing? We've never been to DL and so we're excited about going, but a big reason for going at this time is for the premier! Also, any input on your experiences with the good neighbor hotels would help. I've noticed there's a thread that mentions some details, but not many reviews (unless I missed something). Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I just got my itinerary from Dreams Unlimited for our trip in June and the itinerary says for June 24th "Disneyland Park will be closing early today due to the premiere of the new Walt Disney Pictures film, Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Curse. This is a special ticket event." Is this an error or what?

 

[NotAmused]

That must be an error because that is last year's movie premiere

Thanks for the info.

Sounds like there will be a lot of us there. It will be a lot of fun.

Hotels.....here's my list of hotels that I prefer to stay at. All are right across the street.

Anaheim Plaza
Del Sol
Dessert Inn
BW Park Place Inn
Tropicana
Carousel
Camelot
Fairfield
Howard Johnson's

There is one more right next to the BW but I will never stay there, and never recommend it...Park Vue Inn.

Hi,

I'm another east-coaster flying out for the Pirates 3 premier. (First time to CA and DL). My sister is willing to fly out with me, but not willing to do the whole standing and waiting thing. Is it too late to ask if I might be able to join in on the spot holding as well?

About the only thing I'm not sure about is how far the Red Roof Inn Anaheim is from the festivities. (That's where we're booked, because I didn't hear about this until a couple of weeks ago, so I booked "late" too. )

As a So. Cal. resident, I truly decided that day to attend the red carpet ceremonies. Not being with a big group - it was easier to move around and see different perspectives. Many groups claimed space with blankets and such - so if that's your plan, you really need to be there early.

Main Street was, well to say there were a FEW people all with the same idea would be an understatement. However, it was fun!

Giveaways, lots of familiar faces, festive event atmosphere.

and THE hat..
