I just wanted to say thanks again to all of those who organized this celebration! Also, thank you for sharing your stories of the day...you guys ROCK:sohappy: and I am so envious ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So.. who got the sparkley stuff/confetti on them during the ceremony?
My other half pretty much got beaned with a wad of it. So, i have a unique souvenier. Suppose it's worth anything on eBay?
I didn't even know of or see confetti. I did however see a stack of guide maps when I left :animwink:

Hey! You made it to the forum!:wave:Yes after poor Eugene (our assigned events staff member) had to explain to us that it was delayed for a 5th time, the burnoff did happen about 11:30pm. But it was a hillarious and amazing walk out of the park with everyone singing and it was only us still left inside! Ironically they had declared the park "all-clear" and they arranged a special bus for our party to take any resort guest back over to the Magic Kingdom to use the specific resort busses.
All in All, they really did take care of the celebration 25 folks!
More recap to follow when I come out of the post-celebration fog here at work lol.

Me, Marcus and Marsha were singing but the actual song is quite loud so unless we were all singing at the top of our lungs it probably wouldn't have been heard. I waved my flag too!
Yes, the flooding around Mexico and Norway was ridiculous, I would have been fine with the rain if not for that.
I didn't see the frozen ice cream bars until nearly 11PM which I quickly pointed out and we all quickly realized how melted they were!
Awesome time, terrible singing walking through World Showcase after the burnoff, it was perfect! Wish I could have walked all the way to the front with everyone but I was parked at CM parking. That was absolutely priceless! You didn't miss too much at the end though. We stopped at the restrooms and lockers and the crazy singing ended there.
Any word on a final count for attendance?
...which I saw him nab, which caused me to do the same.
TheBeatles, glad to see you made it back home. Hope your flight was uneventful and you've gotten some rest.
It was great meeting you, don't forget to drop me a line next time you're in the world.
Hey! You made it to the forum!:wave:
*hugs*
September 30 and October 1 were by far the best two days of my life.![]()
I know this, and only this, while I was escorted backstage at AA (I saw nothing but lockers and staircases, so don't ask) I had mentioned to Heather, who was our CM escort for the day about how so many people were planning to come for Illuminations she said to me, "last I checked we were about 22,000". This was around 6:00, and I don't really know when was "the last time she checked".
Those were the 2 best CM's on the planet. I was able to talk to the one gentleman and found out that he heard about our event and requested to work it because he thought that we would be a fun crowd. I wonder if he was thinking that when we all broke into WDW karaoke on the walk to the front of the park at midnight?:lol:I enjoyed Celebration 25 very much and all the meets with you guys and girls. Thanks to all the staff involved making this event happen, especially Jenn, Adam and Jason.
I would specially like to thank the two CMs (I forgot the names) that took the time and wait with us for the Burn-off, which happened much later than normal.
I taped a lot of the event in HD and when I get home next week I will check out how it all turned out.
See you all at Celebration 50 :ROFLOL:
