Please go to https://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/reservations/20Anniversary-signup.cfm to registration for the event.
There is a $25 per person registration fee to attend the event. This money goes to offset some of our costs with a portion going to our overall donation to Give Kids the World.
You MUST register for the event in order to sign-up for any subsequent meets/activates we are planning – including our super-duper party on June 1st!!!! That’s right – I said super-duper party!!!! Think DISApalooza but on a much bigger scale.
As we finalize details of the individual meets and activities as well as our party those registered through the link above will received instructions on how to sign-up for these via email.
Again – you MUST be registered for the event to attend other activities we have planned including the party.
Sign-ups for this event will close 05/01/2017 as long as space is left. Please sign up NOW and don't delay if you want to attend.
UPDATE 03/07/2017
We are now accepting items for our Auction to raise money for GKTW.
If you are interested in donating items for our Auction during the 20th Anniversary event we have a form that will make it easier for you to submit, and us to keep track of, the items.
To donate an item please use this form - https://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/reservations/20anniversary-auction-01.cfm
As you step through the process there will be information on where to send the item if you wish to mail it. If you are bringing the item with you to the event we will be letting you know later where/when that can be dropped off. We are still waiting on Disney to tell us where our convention will be for the event so unfortunately I couldn't add it to the current form at this time.
For those already registered for the event itself we will be sending you an email with some instructions that will make the auction donation process a little easier.
Thank you in advance for anything you wish to donate. Let's try to break last years record for money raised!!!!
UPDATE 04/13/2017
Just announced - those attending our Party on 6/1/2017 will enjoy a special concert performance by Jodi Benson, The voice of The Little Mermaid!!!!
UPDATE 04/26/2017
It's official - the party will be until 1AM!!!!
UPDATE 04/26/2017
Just found out International Gateway will be open at the end of the event for guests staying at an Epcot resort to exit the park.
I don't know if it will only be open at the very end of the event or if people can leave early - still getting those details - but I am being told that those wanting to use that exit will be escorted by a Cast Member so you won't be able to go on your own.
UPDATE 05/02/2017
Information on Transportation after the Party
(This information has also been sent to everyone who is currently registered for the party)
Since there will not be any Disney transportation running after the DIS 20th Anniversary EPCOT Party on June 1st 2017 we have arranged transportation for those who might need it. The party ends at 1AM on Friday June 2nd 2017 and we will have buses leaving from the front entrance of EPCOT to bring guests back to a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel (including the Swan and/or Dolphin) after the party ends. The cost is $10 per person and is non-refundable.
We are NOT providing transportation to EPCOT prior to the party, you will need to get there on your own before the party. We ask that you arrive at the front entrance of the park no later than 9:30PM on June 1st 2017.
Buses will only be available after the party ends at 1AM, there will be no transportation provided by us prior to the end of the party. If you feel you might want to leave earlier than 1AM then using our transportation may not be for you. Buses may go to multiple resorts after the party depending on how many guests have signed up for transportation and at each of the resort hotels. We will not know what bus you will be on or how many stops it will make before it arrives at your resort hotel.
You do not have to take our bus to get back to your hotel. You can drive yourself (parking will be available at EPCOT), take a cab or Uber after the party (you would have to make those arrangements on your own) or for those staying at an EPCOT area resort hotel the International Gateway Exit will be open after the party. Keep in mind that the boats WILL NOT be running after the party so you will need to walk to your resort hotel if you choose to use the International Gateway Exit.
If you are interested in using our transportation after the party please go to this page to sign-up - https://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/reservations/20anniversary-transportation-01.cfm
You will need your ID Number and email address to start the sign-up process for transportation. These are the same ones you used to sign up for the party.

I just wanted you to know how we will be handling credential distribution for our event.
If you haven’t already seen it, here is the schedule of where/when credentials will be distributed:
Monday – 05/29/2017
Location: Boardwalk Convention Center (Look for signs). This is also when/where you will get Party Credentials if you signed up for party. Make sure you bring the email we sent that shows you are confirmed for the party.
Time: 10AM – 5PM
Tuesday – 05/30/2017

Wednesday – 05/31/2017

Time: 10AM – 3PM.
You DO NOT have to have everyone in your party present to pick up the credentials. We prefer it be the lead name on the registration but anyone in your party can get the credentials for your entire party as long that they have a picture ID. You will be asked to sign for your credentials so we can keep track for who picked them up.
We ask that you try to get your credentials before you attend any of the meets.
As mentioned above this is also when you will also be given your credentials for the ECPOT party on Thursday night if you signed up for that. Please bring the email that shows you were confirmed for the party when you come to pick up your credentials.
If you have registered for the EPCOT party on Thursday night and you are unable to pick up your credentials Monday thru Thursday during the day we will have someone outside of the main gate of EPCOT to distribute those credentials. Please, please, please arrive by 9:30PM so that we can get you your credentials and still have time to for us to enter and enjoy the party. No one will be available after 10PM that night to give you your credentials. If you do pick up your party credentials at ECPOT before the party starts make sure you bring a picture ID and the email that shows you were confirmed for the party.
You must have credentials to enter the party and these will be checked by Disney Cast Members.
