I'm getting sooooo excited about the DIS Family Reunion! Thanks to Steve @ GKTW for everything!

I've already put in 4 bids - I might have a bit of an addiction lol

What’s the deal with them charging for the evening entertainment suddenly? I thought that was included?

Or can people just pay for that without doing everything else?

Thats how I read it. Just want to see Yehaa Bob and the others? Just buy that entertainment only ticket. I think the entertainment passes do include access to auction hall and exhibitors, but not the panels.

Is there a link to the auction? I couldn’t find it on their site.

Yes. Some people have to work during the day so they gave them the option to just buy a pass for the evenings, or just one day.
If you bought the regular conference pass it covers both days and both nights. (The price totals about the same)

Correct! And after speaking with the bands, a lot of them haven't been able to perform in front of a live audience lately or even at all, so we really wanted to open it up for them to be able to invite their friends, fans and family to be able to see a show.

Just to answer - it's included in the Convention Passes. We just added a ticket for guests to arrive at 7:00pm to see the concert. A lot of locals also wanted to come out to the event but work all day Thursday and Friday during the day, so an evening only ticket worked out nicely for them.

Pete had mentioned a raffle for ABD trip but I do not see it anywhere?

I am hosting Hangar Bar. Wednesday September 8th.....8:00pm till at least 10:00pm. I am planing on their outdoor seating. Look for me.View attachment 600087

My flight arrives at MCO at 6:15pm. Southwest made a flight change. I will try my best to be there at 8:00pm. I may be a little late but I will get there.

Should be live today - it was a late addition and just needed to get our legal team to generate the appropriate paperwork. Thank you!

Hey folks, Slight update on my end. We finally got my parents to commit to longterm evacuation plans, but mom had an ER visit last night that put the logistics through the proverbial washer. Good news is that she's stable enough to travel, but the method of travel had to change and she was *not* happy about it. Rather heart-breaking to be a part of, but was necessary for the big picture in her care. On the good side, she's getting to the evacuation spot much sooner, will be near her DH's family and excellent medical center for her conditions. I mention it because at any moment her situation could change again and I'd need to change travel plans.

I want to thank everyone on this Meta-Official thread. Y'all have been supportive even in disagreement, kind and patient even when answers weren't what was exactly desired. In this thread, y'all have shown the care and (com)passion to enjoy community, help others.... basically y'all have Walked the Talk about being a Positive Change in the World. Thank you so much for all y'all have done, and all the awesomeness that's to come. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Hopefully some of you can post some life posts and keep us updated while the events going on I hate it in the past have no one kind of gave us any info what was going on as it was happening!

I'll do my best to remember that.

Event Changes: Star Wars Nerding
Saturday, 9/11 - Contemporary 7pm-8:30pm (Buses start 8:30p)
Saturday, 9/11- PizzaRizzo 9pm, unless park hours are extended
Meet up to enjoy the Force of the SW fan community. Organiser Tigger-ette

Due to the change in allowance of early park entry, I'm changing the starting time for this Meetup. I'm keeping a meetup at Contemporary, because there may be folks who want to talk nerdy but aren't able to be in park. I also included an in-park time, in case there are folks who want to talk nerdy but are in park. I will post a more detailed meeting spot at Contemp once I figure out the layout/bus pick-up location of the convention side.

I'm thinking we need to have a "Chatterati Hour" during the Live Podcast when most of the regulars can be online together. I'm open to any hour during the 1-7pm show! I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay indoors to be live at the live podcast. BUT if it's streamed live on youtube, I can be there via The Chatterati from anywhere.

Tiggerette (I hope you learn your real name at the event!) - my wife and I will be at the Pizza Rizzo holding bay before the big event. Looking forward to hopefully meeting you! We should try to get a big group photo shot before the event starts for those at Pizza Rizzo!!!

I'll meet up with everyone at Pizza Rizzo!

I am still looking for other solo's or people to hang out with during the SW event. Not a SW fan, so I won't be nerding out. I have a screen shot on my phone from @k8Davies explaining the two sides because I kept getting confused

I have been on both attractions though and would like to try out the pilot spot since it's the one I haven't done yet. I am also open to chewy version
