Also, the H20 glow party at Typhoon Lagoon will be going on during the meet. Not sure if anyone had mentioned this previously.

Hi there! It looks like my prior post might have been missed, or more likely I didn't write it very well. Thanks for the reminder for the ADR. I'll reply in list format if that's more helpful.

- HoopdeDoo revue please.
- Happy to help with the meet up at Victoria Falls, and make it a "Get your Glow On" prep party.
- Staying at Poly. (new info, just reserved)
- YeeHaw Bob Singalong!!

There may be other events, but these are ones I'm definitely setting aside to enjoy together, and can remember without going back to first post.

dang, you caught that I purposely didn't put your info it

Sorry about that - definitely just got missed, but I have add you to those events (and also added to "get your glow on" note the Pre-party listing)

I put you as at the Poly with dates TBD

 

[TheMaxRebo]

We are attending! August 2-15 POR. After all these years of listening to the podcast, I am so excited to finally meet the team!

DH (Ryan) and I (Casey) will be at Pop 8/7-8/12. We are interested in the welcome event at Pop, Hoop De Doo Revue and the pre Pandora party meetup. We can’t wait!

TheMaxRedo we will be staying at AKL Kidani. I was looking at the DVC event on August 8 and if I read it right you can register up to 4 or the people on your reservation. So I’m not sure if non-DVC people can be registered if they aren’t on the reservation or am I reading it wrong. It’s like muddy water sometimes trying to understand the rules.

I'd Like to add myself to Universal meet up!

Hello,
I am a long time listener, but this will be my first party event.

I am staying at Pop Century from 8/7-8/12.

I am interested in the Bar Crawl, Pre-Party meet up, Welcome Party, Bar Lounge Event, or any good solo traveler events.

@TheMaxRebo
Please add us to Coronado 8/8-8/12 (Carly & DH) with our kids (DS 14 & DD 11)! Thanks!!

Hey @TheMaxRebo

My wife (Jamie) and I (Brad) will be staying at the Contemporary the 7th -11th. Not sure how many events we will participate, but definitely interested in the Bar Crawl, Mini golf, and Pre-Party Meetup at the moment.

Also, anyone staying at the Contemporary or BLT interested in a meet up on the 8th since it looks like most of us will be in by then?

I got the first page updated with all of this info - hopefully correctly!

If I missed anyone else or any other updates please let me know!!!

I don't think anyone brought this up but I am happy to add it to the first page if there is interest in an event

I did see that Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets also went on sale today - first party is on August 16th, so not when many of us will be there, but I suspect we will see some fall decorations going up while we are there!

 

[115belladonna]

The Typhoon Lagoon Glow nights have been announced? Is anyone going on Thursday Aug 8? It starts at 6 but part guests are allowed as early as 4 pm?

I’m thinking of going, even if I go solo.

Thanks! My dates right now are Aug 8-12.
After visiting Pandora for the first time, I'm thinking that we also use some UV reactive paint to decorate our outfits as well. I'll look for some info on what might be fun for us to be creative with to prep for our time in Pandora. Yay!

[EDIT TO ASK] : Do we need to make our own separate ADRs for the Hoop Revue? I didn't want to assume that a point person was booking them all, or if there was a particular booking strategy for our group dinner. This will be my first time to go.

a CR/BLT meet could definitely be fun if we can manage to find a time that works!!

Chani pointed this out to me.....i'm really itching to extend our stay to the 17th so we can attend...hmmmm...

i just bought our (incredibly expensive despite being cattle class) flight tickets so now i know our final final dates!!

we'll be at BLT from August 2 - 14 .....woo hoo!!!

it took us about 2 hours to finally decide on the dates...

in the end, we asked our respective hubbies their opinion and both said exactly the same thing - if you're flying all the way there, you should stay for as long as you can..

so the 2nd to the 14th it is.... woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so after 2 weeks doing disney in europe with the entire family (disney cruise and DLP), chani and i will board a plane exactly one week later to fly (for 13 tortuous hours) to Miami..

yes, you read that right - we're flying to miami.....it was miami or new york, which would mean having to fly a second leg..

so instead we're flying non-stop to Miami (for 13+ tortuous hours in cattle class, which proves how very much we want to be part of the dis event!!!!!!!!!!)...

and then we're getting into a rental and driving to orlando.....

call me crazy..... LOL....

and then doing it all in reverse on the 14th....

it's an ADVENTURE... (what's that from? hint, it no longer exists)....

anyway, please update our stay dates to August 2-14....thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful, ewrtomco and I also so happy you are staying at BLT. We are staying there from the 6th to 13th. Maybe can meet up on the 6th.

sounds good...now that we finally bit the bullet and bought our plane tickets, we have to figure out our pre-event plan of attack..
yes, we're kind of psycho disney planners and this time we have to work it into just a few non-event days...
we have 4 days before the event starts, so that's one day per park..
now the question is what order to do them in...

love the name ewrtomco....LOL.....

 

[Carma3]

Was just looking at the "interested" post and noticed the Plaza Breakfast. Debating if my family wants to do it or not. Is it for Tuesday the 6th or Wednesday the 7th? It has Tuesday the 7th

It’s definitely the 7th, Wednesday As I’m booking it, so can’t be the Tuesday as around breakfast time on that day I’ll be somewhere over the Atlantic

Oops, my bad - updated it to be Wed the 7th. Idea was breakfast and then those that want as a group can go over to the contemporary to register for the Official event which starts that day

We don’t plan out every minute but I do like to have a good overall game plan and like to plan so have had my spreadsheet for this event/trip going for a while. Is amazing how quickly the days (and especially the nights) can fill up!

 

[Bedsypoppins]

Hi everyone! This is my first post on the boards, so I hope I’m replying to the right thing! Haha. I discovered The Dis in 2017 when I was planning my bachelorette party and I have been slightly obsessed ever since! I don’t get to Disney often, so I have to live vicariously through the podcast! I’m excited to be attending my first Dis event with my husband!! We are staying at French Quarter Aug 9-11th. We are interested in the bar crawl or any of the resort meet ups. I’d love to meet fellow fans. It seems like this is an awesome community and I can’t wait to be a part of it!

we'll be somewhere over the atlantic on the 2nd....
i've never flown this route before, so i haven't a clue which way we'll fly other than we HAVE to fly over the atlantic..
but i'm guessing we'll fly over the med, then part of europe and probably even the UK as we usually go the northern route..

so i'll wave as we do a fly by

 

[disneyholic family]

we usually have a spreadsheet as well, but i haven't done one yet given we weren't sure of the dates..
since it's just chani and me and not all 9 of us, it's a bit different..
the two of us don't plan every minute, but we do try to figure out where we can fit in the really important things (finding nemo the musical being one of them)..

i'm a bit stumped as to how to schedule our meals this time..
when we all were there in august 2017 for 3 full weeks, we actually did have the mornings planned out by the minute, since we were on the dining plan (the UK "free" dining package)....
but even though we'd planned it out, we were flexible, changing FPs on the fly, though the ADRs were set in stone...
there's just no way to change ADRs for 9 people...oh wait..it was 8 people in 2017...now it's 9...
anyway, once you make those ADRs for a large group there just isn't any wiggle room...

truth is, i really miss the way it used to be....
it was easier to just go with the flow...
we still try to do that....take it easy and people watch, but it's harder than it used to be to do that..

i think the dis event might lend itself to that...slowing down and just enjoying the atmosphere...
