Thanks for the schedules Adam! And again, thanks for all your hard work! Can't wait to be there on Oct 1.

(just a bit of a shame that none of the history walks could've been done on Monday instead of Sunday - but I supposed they'd be easier to do with fewer people in attendance)

However, it does look like there might be enough time to make a quick trip to MK to get a wristband for the EMH - just gotta try to get a midnight ride on the newly re-opened HM :)

I will need to check with the wife on finances but I might be able to provide these for the entire group. I checked from a few suppliers and the price for 1050 4x6 flags are around $150. If we can fit it in the budget we will do it providing that that is OK with everyone.

My only real issue is do I spend the full $150 for the flags made in the US or do I shave off $50 and get the ones made in China. The patriot in me says go USA but the capitalist in me says save the $50.:lol:

While this isn't directly connected to the Fan get-together, I thought you might want to see it since it is part of Epcot's 25th Anniversary Celebration. A Disney website has something you can keep/download as your computer wallpaper a jpg commemorating Epcot's anniversary.

I hope they have t-shirts with this picture on that day. I've already bought the retro Epcot Center t-shirts this past weekend.

I know there has been talk on the in this thread about the special 25th pins that are being sold at Epcot on the 1st and while I am not a pin trader, I have got to have all of the pins. Obvioulsy, I can score the two in park ones, I can also buy a Disney Visa Exclusive and the Annual Pass Exclusive. The only one I can't get is the DVC pin.

If there is anyone out there that is willing to buy an extra DVC pin (you are allowed a max of 2 a day), I would be willing to buy an extra AP or Visa pin for you to trade. This is a deal since the AP and Visa pins are $12.95 and the DVC is $10.95.

PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE 30th and the 1st!!!!!

Nye!

I know that the whole group kind out grew the ride a long time ago so I understand why it was left off the official itenerary. Perhaps an unofficial group ride during some of the free time on Monday would make it more feesable than all 1,000 of us trying to ride.

Count me in for UoE. Even if our officially registered group is too big, I don't know that there will be 500 people who want to ride UoE at the same time. Some folks have ressies, some will be in line elsewhere, etc etc

As for flags - You could probably order fewer than 1050 if the price per is still good. Some folks can bring their own (I will) and some of the 1000 registrants probably won't be there at that time. Maybe you could shave the $50 off by ordering fewer - and still stick with Made in USA!

I'm so excited!!
