I have registered (hmmm so I think I did) and will absolutely be there...I just don't have the time right now to read 65 pages..Can someone give me a quick breakdown on what events are planned, what to bring?, Money going to anyone?, what to wear...etc. feel free to PM me or just a quick post would be nice...perhaps this would also help out a lot of the new members of this site..thanks a bunch.
Sure! Hello and welcome! You are in for a treat, as you will be attending a historic event by any measure. What could be better then partying with over 350 Epcot Fans on the Parks' 25th Birthday? Woo hoo, this is going to be AWESOME!
Details now......for the moment we have not hammered out a official "schedule of events" for the day as we are still awaiting some confirmations from Disney regarding some of the special surprises that may be in store for out group that day.
As already noted, the big news so far is that Disney has acknowleded our gathering as a official event of sorts, and we have been invited to participate in the recently announced Re-Dedication Ceremony that will take place that morning at EPCOT. Adam ( Jedimaster) has been working hard behind the scenes in helping us to secure some special surprises....so thus the reason we have no definate "schedule" to date. For now, we have two major events: The Re-Dedication at 10am that morning, and the Finale Dessert Party later that evening around 8ish if i remember correctly.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive at the entrance turnstiles of EPCOT early that morning on OCt 1st to meet up with myself, Adam, and Jason. We will have a table set up to the left of the main entrance, where you can confirm your presence and collect your wristbands ( for both the day and evening fesitivities). These will be needed to allow passage to any areas we may be visiting, and also to allow for admittance to the Dessert Party that night.
As far as what to wear, i am encouraging folks to wear their Epcot finery...as in retro t-shirts, classic t-shirts, figment related clothing, etc. If it has an EPCOT logo or design on it...wear it! If you do not have any EPCOT specific gear, check out the official t-shirts and other goodies for out Event at CafeExpress.com. "Celebration 25" is the title, and there are several sizes and colors of shirts sporting out logos' for the Event. If you would rather go retro, check out eBay! There are tons of neat shirts listed weekly there...many classics from the past that would be perfect for the day to wear. It's your choice...but it requested that attendees do not wear costumes of any type ( as in...don't dress up as Dreamfinder, ok? LOL) and nothing too overly disturbing for other Park Guests.
Exact times for meeting, as well as a full overview of what may be lined up to take place, will be posted closer to the Event date. Adam will no doubt send confirmation e-mails to all those registered along with any additional important info. Keep watching this thread and the website link listed in my signature for all the latest up-to-date info!
Great to have you join us for this special party!
