DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[thorphin]

Trying to make the party with my schedule. Wont be able to make it at opening.What is the latest one can show up for entry?

You must arrive by 9:30 to be checked in (According to the schedule posted on 3/20). So I guess that means, no getting in line for Frozen at 8:55!

Please arrive by 9:30pm to check-in (main entrance/turnstiles Epcot)

OK for those who can't listen, the Epcot party is going to be extended by ONE HOUR and there will be a private concert by JODI BENSON!!

Thanks for letting me "break" the news

Woohoo!! So the party will be until 1am (also known as 10pm for is Californians)! And the concert?! Omg! How much did this party cost Dreams?!

 

[WebmasterJohn]

So the party will be until 1am

I just want to make sure everyone heard me on the show - extending the party has not been finalized yet. I am 99% sure it will happen but until I have it in the contract from Disney I can't guarantee it.

Surely you aren't saying Disney might be retaining the United security personnel to evict us?

 

[Capwkidd]

I look forward (as always) to watching the show when I get home from work

There will be no Disney transportation available from Epcot after the party (i.e. no buses, no boats, no monorail)

Once we are done with accepting sign-ups for the party we will work on transportation back to a Disney resort hotel. Just be aware this will be at a cost for this transportation as we will have to contract with an outside company. I won’t know the cost until we are done with sign-ups and I have an idea how many people may need transportation.

If we are staying at Boardwalk, can we go out back exit after party?

Wow.... That is huge news. Very excited about Jodi Benson! I can't wait, it's going to be a great week....

 

[LuvEeyore]

So Excited!! I would come to the party just to hear Jodi Benson. Forget the rest...but they will be icing on the cake.

 

[czechplz]

Fun story guys. When I heard the big news, I became tachycardic and ALMOST went into cardiac arrest. My love for Disney literally almost killed me.

 

[Koda21]

Great news on the party! Sounds really amazing, I can't wait to finally come to a dis event. We've booked to come over from the UK for this week and it just keeps getting better.

 

[AngiTN]

I told DGD about Jodi Benson last night and she started bouncing all around. She's very excited to see her. I may be wishing for too much but it would be great to be able to say hi to her during the night too.

I thought I was going to talk my husband to death last night at dinner. We went out for his birthday and I NON-STOP talked about this event.

I was trying to not talk too much about it for fear of making my wife more jelous than she already is (as I am going down solo without her or the kids)

In exchange for that I now have a shopping list of things to pick up for her at Cherry Tree Lane (specific mention that she likes the one Dooney and Bourke bag I got her but it is winter themed and she would really like a more summery look :| )

 

[ninecrayons]

It's been a busy school year, so I haven't had as much time available to be on the boards.

However, I am excited to report I am planning to come to the Epcot party! We rented a house near Disney and it will be a great way to celebrate the end of the school year!

That's funny Phil. My wife backed out before any of the details were announced. I hadn't even mentioned the Illuminations event, until last night -then I mentioned Jodi Benson. I didn't hear anything ..just saw the lights in the bedroom go out.

So you two guys @GAN and @TheMaxRebo are coming solo?

My husband is coming along and he is actually pretty excited for all the events. I thought for sure he'd be a little bit of a downer, but nope, he wants to do all the stuff

Same here. I wasn't sure how DH would feel. Now, he didn't get the excitement over Jodi but he's being a trooper. He's gotten used to people approaching me saying "Aren't you Angi?" by now so this will just be more of that, as far as he's concerned. Besides, he's all about any event that means we don't have a super early morning and can get some things done when it's dark and cooler out

TBH, I did not get excited over Jodi. However, the hubs got really excited. It caught me kind of off guard.

Yes ...we'll both be solo. I don't necessarily like traveling alone, but I'm happy that they're are plenty of events/meet-ups that I can "tag along" on

I've seen bits of other performances that she has done for The Dis and I've always said that it would be cool to catch one someday -so I was thrilled! She comes off as being very genuine -that her performance is for the the guests, as opposed to performing for herself.
