Expedition Everest sends riders forward and backward before they encounter the Yeti on the Animal Kingdom roller coaster. (Walt Disney World)

Thrill seekers, get ready. Walt Disney World passholders are invited to a special event to celebrate the fifth birthday of Expedition Everest.
Pre-registered passholders can “get your fill of Yeti thrills” from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, March 5 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, according to the latest edition of Mickey Monitor. The theme park is scheduled to close at 6 p.m. that Saturday, so it’s a rare after-hours event.
Sign-ups begin on Feb. 18 at disneyworld.com/passholder. You must be registered on the site and have your current passholder ID on file to gain access to the sign-ups.

Uh-oh

According to this post Disney is a year behind schedule...maybe they should get on that.

So does the registration open up at midnight on the 18th?

 

[Hoop Raeb]

Just got my tickets after trying off and on for 2 hours. Registration opened at noon today.

Am I the only passholder that didn't get through??

After trying all afternoon to sign up for this event, the following information appeared on my screen:

"We're sorry, but due to overwhelming demand, we have temporarily reached capacity for the Expedition Everest Anniversary Event. However, additional tickets will be made available early next week. Please check back on Monday, February 21, 2011 for further information".

I was disappointed, hopefully next week will give me better results.

They need to spread passholder events out over the course of several dates, especially since a large portion of people with APs don't live in Florida. Then they can eliminate all sorts of these problems.

This will be my first ap event, so I'm not sure what to expect. Will just Everest be open? Someone on another board mentioned that for the Tower of Terror night over the summer RnRC was running as well, perhaps just the stuff in the Asia section be open? And will there be any places to grab a bite to eat? The jalapeno pretzel cart over there?!?

Too bad the OP's math in that referenced thread is a bit flawed. If counted out, it was four years then for that thread, not five as that thread's OP was claiming (January 2006 to January 2010).

But, there was still a good amount of information shared in it.

:drevil:

 

[menamechris]

Soo...has anyone ever done a passholder event like this? Because I haven't. Is there anything extra special or fun about it - or is it just waiting in a long line with other passholders?

 

[ABigBrassBand]

It's ironic that they probably won't even have the Yeti working on it's 5th birthday.

 

[AlishaMisha]

Anyone have an extra ticket? I am sad they are all out

 

[SMRT-1]

i tried but the system overloaded.

 

[AlishaMisha]

Do you think that if you show up and some people didn't show up that they would let you take their spot?

 

[AlishaMisha]

I ended up going. Open was E:E(duh), Dinosaur, and Triceratop Spin. There was a DJ in Dinoland and Mickey and Goofy did M&G by E:E...Oh yeah and Disco Yeti still lives.

Doesn't sound like that fun of an event.

Everest has only been there 5 years and the yeti has been broken for 2 ( it worked in Dec 08 when i went back May, sept,dec 09 and sept and dec 2010 still broke) I wonder what caused this to break to fast
