DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[Cottager]

B) from what John said, we are limited to Future World (not clear what type of blockade system will be used)

Well, that cuts out the option of walking back to the Epcot area hotels through the International Gateway....! Why couldn't they treat it the same as they do at opening and rope off the bridge to France!

I don't think we know for *sure* that the IG entrance will be closed. I thought the last I saw, John was going to ask? But for now, it definitely would be safest to plan that it will be closed. Which is just as well, for me. If any part of WS is traversable, I'd be tempted to waste an hour of the party just photographing empty pavilions!

I should have added that John mentioned they are talking with Disney about having the IG open for after the party for people that are staying at Boarwalk resorts ... but he said you will definitely have to go to the main entrance of EPCOT to check in for the party

 

[MaryKatesMom]

Here's hoping the IG is open!

I didn't know that red was the color for gay days and I had already bought the black DIS rainbow one because I loved the one Ryno had on. Who wouldn't want to be twinning with Ryno??!!

For the Epcot party I got the DIS 20 anniversary shirt in pink.

Woot! Getting excited. Finally broke it to the girlfriend, She took it better than I thought she would lol

We are staying off property to save $$
Seeing as we won't have Disney transportation available anyways it doesn't bother me much. This will be our first Disney meet up. Kind of nervous but excited!

 

[Capwkidd]

Ugh. I feel the same about my long term BF, why don't Disney people just end up together and save the world a lot of trouble.

Maybe we should have a singles meetup! Lol

 

[Capwkidd]

I am very excited to come to the party! though may be shy or overwhelmed with the amount of people that will show up.
A) Come say hi to the Canadian.
B) is there an area that is roped off, or are we able to make the loop around the 'world'
C) For test track will we have to make the cars every time we go on (or stay on ), or can we do the single rider line to get more times around.

Any one @ the Port Orleans?
Any Word on transportation yet?

I would imagine we can just keep riding!

I am staying at French Quater...

This is why you make a ton of DIS friends -- so you can go to WDW and leave your non-Disney-loving significant other at home

Hmmmm.... Nice idea !

 

[FLkid]

any word on what food is gonna be available? Aka should we eat before hand?

 

[jcb]

You should eat before hand. I think john said snacks. Past events have had fun food, but with this starting at 10 pm, you'll probably want something solid before you indulge in a sugar rush.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

No specifics yet but they said think snack and desserts not full dinner so I would eat at least a lite meal beforehand

 

[jcb]

Now I'm craving those donuts....

To give an idea of the kind of food that might be offered, here is a link to the thread from the 2013 Disapalooza at TSM.

Have you checked out the Unofficial thread? Plenty of activities/meet-ups for singles --or those of us whose SO's won't be coming along!

 

[OKMinnie]

I found my party outfit! I'll be doing some Moana Disneybounding! Can't wait!

 

[uccats97]

So looking forward to the Epcot party! We arrive 6/1 for a family vacation (party of 19!) but only DH and I are attending the party. It's date night!

 

[YZFMoose]

We never make a car. We just walk straight to the ride.

I always try to make the biggest and boxiest thing there is. Unfortunately it doesn't allow for a Square on wheels

3 hours of Test Track I'm game!
Soarin' Ill try again. (First time on it was last trip), was kinda unnerving when i wasn't expecting the tilt of the ride. I'll admit i did close my eyes when it went "Higher" over the mountains and Eiffel Tower
Most likely skip figment. Wife said it used to be better.
As for Nemo and Friends, does that mean the aquarium part is open as well or is it just the ride section.
French Quarter as well We like the boat down to "Downtown Disney Springs" (Interchangeable because we keep calling it Downtown Disney)

 

[ShesAPirate]

I was actually wondering the same thing. We exit the ride with aquarium all around us, right? I would imagine it will be open... or at least I hope it will.

Just bought our plane tickets and DD's park ticket (DW and I have APs)! @ShesAPirate We ended up flying from Philly. I looked at Newark but it was only about $20/person cheaper so not worth the trek up there for us. Thanks for the tip though.

Now to book Magical Express (our first time using that) and a couple of FPs. Our plan is to do AK on Wednesday evening and see Pandora for the first time.
