Does everyone who registered for the Celebration 25 still need to show up and get a wristband, or since Disney seems to have reopened the rededication to everyone are they not neccessary?
I guess my question is - what purpose are the wristbands serving?
As Jason said, the wristbands are purely for the dessert party. The name badges (provided by Lou Mongello) are what distinguish you as a member of our group. If you don't have that, we can't allow you to join us in any of our tours or group photo(s). Mainly, those name badges are the things allowing you to congregate with our group around the pavilions without Disney asking us to disperse.
Adam my imagination is so active I just did a bit of this
I admit it.
I can only wait & wonder what may happen at the party that night.
I just hope I don't do a ton more of this
that night when I find out.
I am going for more of this
:sohappy: (hopefully).:animwink:
It should be a truly great moment in history! Since I can't say this without giving up some information, I am just going to give you all some instructions...
- If you are attending the Illuminations Dessert Party, you will not need to register for Marty Sklar's session.
- If you are attending our Illuminations Dessert Party, you automatically have a seat reserved for one of the two sessions during the day (one after our group photo and one tentatively around 4:30 p.m.).
- These are free tickets, but they are a gift from my *source* within the company. He feels very strongly about thanking our group for our dedication, and in feeling so strongly, felt strongly about giving something back to us.
- To my best understanding, you will be able to ask Marty questions during his sessions.
- Only confirmed attendees with wristbands for our dessert party will recieve their tickets. No additional members of your party not attending the dessert party will be given tickets. We have been given only enough to cover those attending our dessert party, so unfortunately, those not attending need to register for the sessions on their own to attend.
Hope that clears up some of the confusion. Mind you, that is just one part of the bigger surprise. There is still more to it all! :animwink:
Another question:
What "activities" will there be? Everything happens in the park, you cant deny people access to American Adventure or anything - so what group only activities are we talking about?
Edit to add: I guess i'm not seeing the point of having people "register" to attend anymore if nothing exclusive is planned and everything is for dessert-party-only.
Our history walks, group photo(s) and any last minute group perks (there are still a few in the works, even a week+ away) are still exclusive to our group.
Oooooo......now you have my curiousity riled...!
( probably won't be able to sleep tonight.....like i have been able to now for the past week or so....)
:lol:
Hope the above message covers most of it for you! (If you have any more questions, email or PM me and I'll answer any questions you have-except those pertaining to my last few surprises...)
I got email to check out this thread before I`d logged on to WDWMagic today; reading between the lines, you`ve pulled a blinder. As much as I want to ask `who and what` I`ll let you tell us about C25 and the buffet when the time is right - I was right in my hunch the 1st will not resemble any part of a normal day at the park - and I`m so glad, no honoured, Michelle and I are taking part.
I'm humbled to have you joining us! I hope you realize how many times I have mentioned you in my interviews... "There is even one internet-documentary maker that is flying in from the UK to join us. His work is just incredible!" I said that quite a few times so far!
I just had a thought. I was planning on doing an on-going trip report the way I normally do when I'm on one of these trips. Normally, I would post in the Trip Report forum (of course). However, since many of us will be there, and I'm guessing, many more who could not make it would want to at least follow all the festivities, should I and others post our trip report on anything related to the Epcot's 25th Celebration in this thread? Would the moderators mind if they're posted here?
Zz.
I believe we might have to make another thread just to make sure that we don't bust this thread at the seams. But, we'll probably decide about that next week (by Friday at the latest) to decide how to best handle this...
Well... I've got a little bit of saddening news (but nothing too harmful to our event). After sorting our roster to look at our updated VIP list, I found quite a few extra duplicate registrations... After removing them, we have gone back to 1115 attendees... But considering the fact that we originally were happy with 200, I think we can manage!
