*STATUS UPDATE*
Hi all, hope everyone had a good weekend! Just wanted to provide a quick update and get some thoughts
First, I have added two new events - volunteering at Give Kids the World and DVC Moonlight Magic Event at Animal Kingdom
Give Kids the World Volunteering
An opportunity to volunteer for a great organization and one very much in the hearts of all those at the DIS. Targeting doing this one of the days of the weekend before the event (August 3rd and/or 4th) or the weekend of the event (August 10th and/or 11th) - of potentially both if enough interest. Note that you do have to fill out an application and be screened before you can volunteer there
2019 Moonlight Magic at Animal Kingdom on Thursday, August 8th (DVC Event)
Enjoy an evening of thrills, entertainment and more as the park becomes your playground. Event highlights include: Access to select attractions throughout the park, with shorter-than-usual wait times; Meet-and-greets with Disney Characters;A DJ dance party; Complimentary refreshments
This event is complimentary for Disney Vacation Club Members and special guests. A Member can register themselves and up to 3 additional guests per Membership (for total of 4)
As the later is a fixed date event, I thought it made sense to start thinking about what day to do what event - particularly the evening ones - just so as many people can participate in as many things as they can vs everything overlapping.
The events starts on August 7th, though I know a number of people will be in prior to that so we could try to organize "welcome drinks" or something the evening of the 6th. Beyond that we have
Wednesday, August 7:
Thursday, August 8:
TBD - DVC Moonlight Magic Event - Animal Kingdom (Leader TBD)
Friday, August 9th:
Saturday, August 10th:
TBD - Lunch at Disney Springs (leader TBD)
TBD - Viewing "Live Action" Lion King at AMC at Disney Springs (leader TBD)
8PM - 10PM Pre-party at Victoria Falls Lounge (leader TBD)
8PM - 10PM Pre-party at Nomad Lounge (leader TBD)
11PM - 1AM Pandora Party
Sunday, August 11th:
TBD - Live Recording of DIS Podcast - Disney's Contemporary Resort (Room TBA)
So that largely leaves Wednesday (Aug 7th) and Friday (Aug 9th) for evening events for those that are doing the DVC even on Thurs. Potential evening events include: "Bar Crawl" (monorail, Disney Spring, Boardwalk, etc.), Hoop Dee Doo Review, Watching Illuminations, Watching new World of Animation Nighttime Show at DHS, and YeHaa Bob,
Are there those that either:
- aren't getting in until the 8th or 9th but definitely want to do one of the above?
- are attending the DVC event on the 8th and definitely want to attend one of the above?
Obviously wont' be able to make everything work for everyone, but if we can accommodate the most number of people I think that would be great!
