PassPorter Community's Events for 2007:

Magic Martini Flight Meet: Bottoms up! Join co-host PassPorter member, Maggie (maggiemay), and guest co-host, Matt, for a Martini Flight meet at Diversions Lounge, onboard the Disney Magic on Sunday, December 2nd. Please check your Navigator when you board for the time. A “flight” is a sampling of a specific drink. In this case, you are given five different versions of a Martini. They are smaller than regular drinks, but enough to get an appreciation of what that particular drink has to offer. The server also gives you a little history/info on the drink. Start off the cruise on a really "magical" note, and if you think you can hang with the big dogs, stop on by! This event is limited to adults age 21 and older only. No RSVPs necessary. http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...ight-meet.html

PassPorter's Christmas Parade Mingle: Come prepared to mingle and jingle all the way on December 6th with event hosts: PassPorter Authors, Jennifer and Dave Marx, PassPorter Guides Dawn (DawnDenise) and Tiff (tigger22), and your fellow MouseFesters for a meet during MVMCP for the Magic Kingdom parade in front of Frontierland Shootin' Arcade, 15 minutes before the last parade - usually held at 10:45 pm. Complimentary "PassPorter Pal" cloisonne pins provided to fellow minglers! No RSVP necessary. http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...ml#post1651540

The Yak & Yeti PassPorter Expedition: Legend has it the new restaurant Yak & Yeti will be open by MouseFest (which it is!). Join PassPorter authors and event hosts, Jennifer and Dave Marx, as we journey through Asia to scout out the new eatery on Friday, December 7 at 1:00 pm in front of Flights of Wonder in Asia at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Together we'll explore their courtyard counter-service/beer-garden options and enjoy their much-touted Asian fusion cuisine. PassPorter Pal cloisonne pins for all fellow expeditioners and diners. http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...ml#post1829230


PassPorter Illuminations and Keychain Exchange Meet: Light up the night at Epcot with event hosts, PassPorter Guides, Maureen (statelady01) and Lynn (OffKilter_Disneymom), your PassPorter pals, and fellow MouseFesters for some fun, friends, fireworks, and a keychain exchange. All participants should plan to bring a Disney-themed keychain to trade. Please RSVP by PM to Maureen (statelady01). Please meet Saturday December 8th at Epcot at 8:45 pm at the Promenade at Italy. Maureen can be found wearing her Stitch Santa hat so be sure to keep an eye out for her and her hat. There are parties sometimes at the Promenade. If so, please look for Maureen over to the left. When in doubt, look for MouseFest buttons, PassPorter pouches, and pin-laden lanyard-wearers. http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...ml#post1650422

My First Roller Coaster Ride Meet: Join "PassPorter Moms" Belle* (Sara Varney) and Jennifer Marx, co-hosts by Ryan Varney and Alexander Marx, and bring the whole family to enjoy the wild (but also mild) ride that is Goofy's Barnstormer. All are welcome! MouseFest Sunday, December 9th at 11:00 am (subject to change) at the Magic Kingdom, The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. The height restriction for this ride is 35".

Cool!

I plan on going to the 2007 MouseFest & would like to do the Ornament Exchange meet again. This time instead of having it at DTD, I'm thinking maybe it might be better to hold it in whatever the "park of the day" is for MouseFest activities.

We had a nice group of MouseFesters at the 2006 meet and would like to see this as an annual meet.

[chezp]

We'll be there for MouseFest as well - it's official, as we booked our flights earlier today! We only arrive on 8 December though in the afternoon, so we probably won't make it to the Mega Mouse Meet.

[RobinKay6573]

I don't know if it can be arranged but I know I have heard they do tours of the Tri Circle D Ranch at Fort Wilderness. That is something I would LOVE to do; just a thought. I will be at Mousefest this year

[maggieworkman]

I made my hotel reservations this week too!!

I heard Pop Warner cheerleaders will be there starting the 3rd of Dec. Will they still be there by the 6th and will it affect anything? I have All Star Movies booked, but might change if the cheerleaders are there. (PS I love kids and cheerleaders. I have a couple of loud ones myself. But they won't be with me on this trip, so I'd like a little peace and quiet if possible.)

I am so glad to hear this, Debbie! And I'm delighted to hear that so many of you are already planning to attend!

Don't forget - we need people like all of you to help host and plan events! If you have an idea for an event or would like to help by hosting an event, let me know and I'll help you get the ball rolling.

[revral]

I'll be there during Mousefest. I'll arrive on the 7th & leave on the 17th so I'll be there for pretty much the entire land portion.

We were talking about this and we'd like to see an Adventurer's Club meet on the night of 9 December, as Mark loves going there and it's so much better in a big group. I'm happy to be the host for that event.

He just wants to go there again because he got so much attention at the last Passporter Adventurer's Club meet.

[MontiMouse]

You could be right there! The last time we went - when I got sick and we had to leave there after a few minutes he wanted to sit by the bar again, in the hope that he'd get picked on by Samantha...

[debe]

I'm definitely going. Have a room at SOG reserved. Will be Hannah's 1st WDW trip (her mommy will be coming with me) and I've started making the token Ornament Gift (will be another stained glass orn) for the Ornament Exchange Meet

Can't Wait!

[DrDolphin]

[pamf115]

My first solo trip is Dec 8th-15th. Just in time for Mousefest. I don't really know much about it, but can't wait to get all of the details.
I am really interested in the photography that I saw listed for last year!!!
