DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[AMusicLifeForMe]

The day that John gets back is the day that myself and DD and DS leave for Disneyworld by car from K.C. We should arrive in Orlando the afternoon of the 22nd. We are there for several weeks and have FP's set up and paid for the party, but everything else, we can go with the flow. It's not as if we won't get 20 plus rides on every ride in that time frame. At Epcot, I'll spend 30-45 minutes on rides and the rest mingling. I'll bet the DD and DS ride Test Track for 3 hours straight!

I'm coming from K.C. also! I don't leave until the 29th though. Maybe I'll meet you.

I definitely want to get a ride in on Teat Track as I have never ridden it

Definitely get on it. It used to be one of our favorites though since they changed it we don't like it nearly as much. We still do it every trip. We just go single rider so we never wait in line.

I want to ride Soarin' at least once. We've been on it once since the new movie started and didn't like it nearly as much as the original but I want to give it another shot and see if it grows on me.

DW is really looking forward to seeing Illuminations. Being vertically challenged, she's never really been able to fully appreciate the show since she can never see past people in front of her. She's hoping with just our group there, she'll be able to get a front row spot.

I'd agree that the new version of TT isn't as interesting as the old one. But then again, I didn't really care for the old one either. But, as is often heard on the Podcast, that's just opinion and you should try it yourself.

I definitely want to meet other DISers and talk to at least some of the podcast team

Though I definitely want to get a ride in on Teat Track as I have never ridden it

How have you never ridden test track?

 

[Madonna3]

Ok that's the one I was talking about.

 

[Madonna3]

yeah, the prior week them mentioned the idea of Star Wars fireworks with Craig but that got hanged to HAE this past week

As @rteetz mentioned we do still have the "un"officiel meet up for the star wars dessert party on June 2nd though

That's the one I was talking about. Just making sure I didn't need to cancel a reservation.

@rteetz you got a new spreadsheet yet?

Latest one is on Facebook and the unofficial thread. Nothing has changed since that last update.

In a word - tiering. We always have our Tier one for Soarin (and now FAE) and no one else in the family was interested enough to wait in standby. Guess I could have tried single rider while the family did something else but just never worked out

Even before tiers tho? Test track has been around since 1998. Either way at least you'll finally get to ride it. Test track is probably my favorite Epcot ride. I know Soarin gets all the hype but I prefer test track.

Pfft. I'd take nemo over soarin' or test track. I have never understood the hype over test track.

That is because Test Track is the fastest ride at WDW. On a given ride, Test Track reaches 64.9 mph. Yes I trust the sign on the ride lol. The next fastest is Rock N' Rollercoaster which I think only goes up to 60 mph unless they changed it recently.

Maybe I'd like it more if it wasn't a car. I drive faster than that daily going to work, and the "almost in a car accident but you swerve" part gets my anxiety up. But hey, works out for you guys, one less person in line for test track.

 

[SorcererHeidi]

@safetymom - Was wondering if you guys were going to do the Flatties again this year? I had one last year, and was wondering if I could "reactivate" that one (foregoing the need for you to make a new one) with another donation (would it be $10 again?), or if you were going to make new ones?

If you are not the appropriate person to ask, let me know, and I'll bug somebody else. LOL

@safetymom - Making sure you saw this? Thanx for any and all info (and I don't MEAN to be a pain!)

Details about time/place for credential distribution and auction have been added to the first post.

In addition I have added a schedule for the party along with food and details of cash bar.

This is all the info I have right now. I don't have any official word on the other events yet but when I do I will add them to the first post.

Thanks John - hope you are enjoying your vacation

Thanks John, for taking time out of your vacation to give us more details! Hope you are having a good time.

The food options look amazing. I'm bummed because it looks like all options I can't eat (gluten intolerant), but I guess that will just save me from bingeing on sugar.

Is gelato on it's own gluten free? Perhaps it will be an option to have some without the cookie part

If there aren't any real options, I'll just grab a couple Mickey rice krispie treats for my DH and bring them with us. He always loves those!

That's a great idea. I may do the same. I love the Rice Krispie treats. I'm gluten intolerant as well. My husband is not so I'm sure he will enjoy the offerings. Sounds like it's going to be a great party!

I Have a question regarding Credentials, I will be arriving Tuesday the 30th where as my friend who's coming down will not be there until Wednesday the 31st after 11:30 pm. Since his credentials and mine as well as the party passes were all ordered together, when I pick up my credentials will I be able to pick his up as well, Saving us precious time in the morning. TIY
