I would doubt it. I offered earlier in a post that if anyone needs a ride from a resort I can fit 4 in my car and Im willing to give someone a list. PM me if your interested.

Trust me, it will not be a problem. Guests are usually still eating or shopping at that time (thus the need to add a warning announcement to the Burnoff). I've watched it many, many times as a Guest and have never had anyone approach me. Once it starts hitting 11/11:30, that's a problem and you need to start heading for the exit.
As for those of you who are planning to "take on security" to stay in the park the latest, I know you guys are joking, but PLEASE do not intend to stay later than 11ish. It's simple courtesy.
I'm glad you all enjoy my Burnoff gathering idea. I'm a huge fan of the Inferno Barge (even made a t-shirt that says "I (heart) the Inferno Barge") so watching the Burnoff is one of my favorite little moments at Epcot. I think it would be wonderful to have everyone gathered near the Towers to watch, then walk out to the entrance plaza and disperse.

What time do we have to show up to be first in the park ya think?

No problem! Not sure what time yet, it depends on how early the table will be set up for us. Once we have that info we'll figure out a time, but I'm figuring 6:30-7 or so.
No, we have 50-60 right now, capacity is 200. But the cutoff date is August 28, so keep that in mind!

Anyplace that serves mickey waffles wont be open prior to 6:30 - you might need to send a person off to retrieve food.

As I said, I think the earliest bus is going to be a character breakfast bus for the Norway breakfast. The first seating for that is 8:30 I believe. Figuring 30 minutes to get from the bus stop to Norway, those busses will probably pick-up at the resorts at around 7:30. Guests should check with the front desk of their resort to confirm the time. These busses don't say "Epcot" on the front so it's important to look into this at the front desk in advance.
I think the best bet for anyone who really wants to be there before 8:00 is to drive/catch a ride. We can start a ridesharing thread around mid-September to help organize.
I wouldent dream of it. I do plan on staying for the inferno barge burn off. I have seen video but have never seen it in person.

Chris,
I would love to hear some of Dad's thoughts / memories of what it was like back in the early 80s. If you have some pics from back them, please consider posting them in the WDW picture of the day thread.

My only concern for ride sharing is small kids, such as I have that would require a carseat in a regular car. I'm not going to cheat or let anybody else cheat by not using a carseat and get pulled over and then get in trouble.
Yes. Either that or we can camp out there. How do you think security will feel about a tent and a campfire near the monorail station?
Quick question for the morning check in.....
Do all members of our party need to be there to check in or can I check my family in and have them arrive a little later...say 8:30 ish?

Well, folks can definately get to the park prior to park opening by normal Disney means. Monorails to Epcot start running at 7:30 (I looked it up) and depending on where/what the character meal bus starts running at 7am-8am. Epcot's own transport via bus should be up by 8am.
I think it's moreso to get the wristband distributors there to setup extra early.

Well, we do ask that everyone in your party come for the signing in, but they don't have to come extra early. As long as you all get to our table before about 15 minutes before the park opens, we can sign you at that time.
Basically. We will also be setting up a few interview/message cameras to capture some moments at the sign in table.

I am still waiting for a final confirmation but it is to be directly after the park opens.

Oh, I was under the impression that it was taking place before the park opened. I know the buses run plenty early for regular opening, so now I'm not as concerned.
Thanks. The family and I will be at MNSSHP the night before and while I will be just fine on 5 hours of sleep my teenage girls do not fare so well so if they can squeeze in another hour it will be a good thing.
