Celebration 25 Attendee Housing Poll

[ImaYoyo]

You'd be surprised... And disney geeks can support the room nights if properly persuaded.

Look at how many posts and requests there are to see the Epcot 25th gallery after the actual 25th.

More effort than it's worth for me, but good luck Maybe someone upstairs will want to take it on.

So what's going on Saturday night? Is everyone going to AK? Can't wait to ride EE at night.

I was too late and it filled up before I had my AP. But EE at night is awesome, I rode it earlier this year at EMH.

Old Key West. Our first time staying there.

You will love it!

Well, though we have a fairly low response rate.. a steady 60% or so staying at Disney properties shows that persuing Epcot's 25th during this slower period may have proved very profitable.

Also noteworthy is that of those coming from out of town (i.e. non-locals) less than 10% are staying at an off-property hotel.

Family / local for the ceremony (a big thank you, you know who you are!) then the CBR for 10 nights (again, thanks to two other wonderful people)

Maybe they will ask Adam for a list of our names and resorts to send our special commemorative gift baskets directly to our rooms....:lol:

....it could happen....:lookaroun

I only have so many surprises up my sleeve... Unfortunately, that isn't one of them... Sorry! :shrug:

OK -- all of us POP-heads have got to do a get-together too. Maybe Sunday night or Tuesday night for those still around then?

If it's Sunday night...I'm there.
Unless I'm watching football over at the ESPN club, that is.

I joined the celebration at the last minute so im stuck at saratoga springs.

Wilderness Lodge, 9/28 to 10/2. Originally at Port Orleans, then when the brother-in-law and family decided to join the Celebration25 fun we needed rooms closer to MK for all young cousins to get there easier (and quicker).

In more ways then one, that is for certain! Think about all the additonal $$$$$$ they will take in that DAY alone, what with all the exclusive 25th Themed Merchandise, food sales, general expenses ( parking, etc.).

I am sure they will see a jump in the numbers ( both sales and turnstile numbers) that day...no doubt about it. How cool would it be if the Park reached capacity?? Does anyone know the last time EPCOT reached it? New Years Eve maybe?

Talk about "sending a message loud and clear..."....

:lol:



So getting back to the polls' question:

I myself will be staying at my usual haunt: All Star Music. I have stayed there since 2000 and it fits my needs perfectly. Having a framed picture of my favorite music group Queen in the lobby is a nice bonus too!

So yeah....very late Sept 27th i will arrive.....and plaster my room window with my massive EPCOT 25th Photo Collage Mega-Decorative window poster! Woo Hoo! I'll be heading out October 4th.

I hope they have me situated in a room that is in a visable location....this year's decor will be quite a show! I hope to see more EPCOT attendees there at Music......i will be the one wearing the cool retro gear!

Hmm, looks like i'm the only one at Poly. Guess the idea of being on the first monorail to Epcot that morning - particularly to get photos of the rededication setup before it has people, is a merf-only dream

 

[SorcererYensid]

We're staying at Coronado Springs before the first, then we'll check into Animal Kingdom Lodge.

I have always fantasized about staying at the Poly, Contemp, or Wilderness Lodge....but they are far too expensive per night for me, even in Off-Season!




Maybe one of these days when i finally work "offically" for Disney i can stay in one of them on a employee rate!

 

[DisneyMarg]

Well, I am one of the few representatives of the offsite crowd. My excuse is that I have oodles of free hotel nights since I travel in my job, and staying free was one way I could make the trip. This is a real extravagance for me - going to Disney without the family. I'd rather they be here but all had work/school. I wanted to spend as little as possible, since they are missing it. I'd also rather being staying onsite

I'd really like to, but I'll be at the MNSSHP on Sunday and I'm leaving Tuesday afternoon.

I'll be taking the Monorail from the GF that morning so I won't be to far behind you.

You'd have to do more walking, but there is a path to the Poly from Grand Flo and Poly connects to the TTC. We could be only people on the first monorail - as long as i ride in a more forward car then you i'll be ok with sharing (cuz i'll still technically be the first guest inside of Epcot).

That would be awesome! But isn't Epcot where they send people when all the other parks reach capacity? I think Epcot can hold a lot!

Merf- just a word of warning, the last time I was at the Poly and walked to the TTC they made me wait with all the other day guests until 9 before I could get on the monorail, while all the people from the resort monorails were transferring and going on their way. Although I don't know when they start holding people at the gates, it might be something you'd want to look into.

Hmm..
