So is that a "yes, put it on the shedule"? Or is that a "we'll see"?

Put it in the schedule subject to deletion if WDW won't give me the ADR. (I will post a sign up the day I get the ADR)

I wanted to sign-up for a couple of meets. For the Osborne Lights meet, Eileen (caldercup) Jill (jillybean), Sharon (PrincessSharon) and I would like to host something. We'd love to have it whenever the "official" evening is for the Studios, so as not to conflict with other meets. We've already got a funny theme picked out, and Eileen has seven months to come up with crazy prizes! Chrissi, if no one else has signed up to host, please list us!

Secondly, Sharon and I are planning on trying to complete the Ultimate Magic Kingdom touring plan in record time on Friday, the 11th. For those who haven't heard of it, it's a plan from the Unofficial Guide to experience every single attraction and show in the Magic Kingdom as fast as possible. Because we have to "plus" everything , we're adding the special MVMCP events to the touring plan too. Those who complete the plan are rewarded with recognition on the Touring Plans website, so Sharon and I don't just have to be legends in our minds anymore! Anyone would be welcome to join us for as little or as much of the day as possible. But, it literally would be like, "We'll be in line for BTMRR at 10:13 AM." Eileen and Jill would be leading the cheering section, but for some reason they are planning on cheering us on from the bar at the Polynesian. Once again, Eileen's heading up the prizes committee for that one too. Chrissi, no idea how to list that "event," but thought I'd throw it out there. Oh yeah! I guess this means that you can officially add Eileen, Sharon, Jill, and me to the list of attendees, we've got the hotel booked and everything!

Since y'all are volunteering, I'll start putting some of the schedule dates and times up 'in stone'. Traditionally, event hosts have started a planning thread for their event, so anyone who's ready to go on the schedule with their event can start their thread now if you haven't already. (You can PM the link to me or just let me know when you've posted it so I can add it to the schedule, too.)

Now, I'm going to go tuck DJ back in bed again and I'll start working on the schedule later tonight! Many thanks to all our volunteer event hosts for all you do!!!

Do we have "Park of the day" yet? Will need to know Epcots day for my dinner.....

[chezp]

Love the idea of the Osborne Lights meet - not sure about the other one. I don't think that's for us, especially as we don't do all the rides.

[OhToodles!]

Ultimate Magic Kingdom sounds neat. I'll have to think about that one and see if I can work it into my schedule.
And wow! I might meet the CLQ twice in one year!! (I hope to see/meet some of you in June.)

Sorry in advance if I am asking a dumb question, but is there somewhere that has a formal list of events. We're going to be down there during that time and I might try to catch one of the events. I'll be with my family but might try to sneak off and maybe get to meet some you all in person.

Chrissi is working on one (see first page of this thread). ( Chrissi )

Unlike past years (Mousefest had a book listing events), we are on our own this year. I am sure as things firm up we will have a more concrete Passporter list that can be printed out. (Some events are pending details as they have to await ADR's which you can't get until 90 days out.)

Keep an eye on this forum for more details.

We look forward to meeting you

[Chrissi]

Hmm...we really need the park of the day before we can nail down most of these events. Does anybody know when WDW's schedule is at the point of no return - when they're less likely to change parade/fireworks/show/event times? I'd imagine it would be just before they open up ADRs. Don, what's the 90 day out point, do you know by any chance?

[Eeyore Tattoo]

What we do know is MVMCP day is 12/11
So I guess we can make MK day that day

Mine is Sept 06 based on a 12/5 arrival date.

This is the problem - I don't see how we can plan much more without the park of the day and, as Chrissi said, you can't really do that without the park schedules, which won't be out until September We may have a long wait in front of us...

[Minnie Lor]

Ok Chrissi, I have an idea. We know that Friday is MK day. That leaves us two days for 3 parks. AK probably isn't a full day for most people and Epcot probably is a full day. So you'll have one day whether it's Sat. or Sun. as a AK/DHS day and another day as an Epcot day.

So people could start throwing plans together and posting meet threads we could list them as park days instead of days of the week. Example would be that Deb could starta thread for dinner around the lagoon on "Epcot Day". CLQ post a meet for Osborn Lights on "AK/DHS Day". That way the days can get tentatively planned and then just put into place when the schedule comes out.

You'd have MK - Friday
AK/DHS - Sat. or Sun.
Epcot - Sat. or Sun.

Then everything could be nailed down when hours came out in Sept.

Based on when the most people are showing they come, and avoiding EMH crowds..
how about......
Thurs-AK (EMH is MK)
Fri MK-
Sat-Epcot (it is DHS Emh)
Sun-DHS (MK is EMH)
