Bumpitty bump bump.
Hey, I got the group E-Mail and have to speak my mind...if you guys who are coughin' up $75 get a buffet, private seating and private entry for Expedition Everest...where does that leave us who don't pay up? I mean, what's the point of even being part of the group if some of the group will NOT be seeing the show/riding-the-ride (mostly) together?
:hammer:
Maybe I need to always just have an offshoot "Safaribration 10: Cheapskate Divison"
:lol:
Well, you don't have to worry about that as we ended up not doing the "experience" due to a lack of interest--which is fine with us in all regards! So, like before, Everest, Nemo and Dinosaur are all free and open to attend!
Thanks! You rock!:sohappy:
Why thank you! But I do profess Marcia, you rock as well! :animwink:
Well I apologize for the lengthy absense but we've been busy over the last week getting the final approvals on our event and schedule for A Wild Decade (as well as prepping the preliminary details for the World Wide Weekend, as we will open registration for that on April 14th).
We closed registration on schedule with 400 registered attendees, which was our cap (unfortunately, though it is something we don't plan to do for any future events). Though we were unsuccessful in reserving a Yak and Yeti group meal (the restaurant just isn't ready for any group meals such as our yet, so we are trying again for September), we were able to get two pavilions reserved for us (for a two hour period) at Flame Tree Barbecue. While this isn't a table service or buffet offering, it is a private set of group seating and a very generous gesture on the part of Animal Kingdom management.
Our new schedule is meant to wrap around the day's existing events (Joe Rohde's Q&A session and the rededication ceremony) as well as offer a well rounded preview of what we have to offer for future events (though September will have much more).
Our sign in tables will be behind the park's security booths and we will start taking people as early as we are there (though we officially start at 7:00 am). While I can't tell you why, let me *strongly* recommend that you be there early/on time for the start of registration--you won't regret it.
So now, without further ado, I present our "essentially-final" schedule of events:
7:00 am - 8:15 am Registration (Tables located inside security checkpoint)
8:45 am Turnstiles Open
8:45 am - 9:00 am Rededication Ceremony (in front of Tree of Life)
9:15 am Entrance to Theater in the Wild for Special Event with Joe Rohde
9:45 am Special Event with Joe Rohde (Theater in the Wild)
11:30 am Finding Nemo: The Musical Group Show
12:30 pm Expedition Everest Group Ride
2:00 pm History Walk (meet in Dinoland, exact location announced at registration)
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm Group Meal at Flame Tree Barbeque (Owl and Spider pavilions)
6:15 pm Presentation of Donation to DisneyWorldTrivia.com Dream Team Project (same location as History Walk meeting location)
6:20 pm Group Photo (same location as History Walk meeting location)
7:30 pm Countdown to Fin (Dinosaur Last Ride of the Night Meet)
Please note this schedule is tentative and is subject to change!
Any questions, comments or concerns? Looking forward to seeing you all on April 22! :animwink:
