Post thoughts and info here on this incredible chance to say hello to some fellow disney lovers! My wife and I would love to meet as many of you as we can and look forward to it! Remember the magic!

I posted this in the other thread and I will go ahead and post it here. I have done a few meets with other WDWMagic members at the after hours parties. The best event to meet at is the fireworks. Everyone goes to them and most arrive early. In the past we have met in front of Casey's on Main Street which provides nearby sustenance and a great view of the fireworks.

My first WDWMagic meet :sohappy:

Master Yoda, compared to the fireworks on non-event nights, is it really possible to meet at Casey's Corner (ie crowds)? I usually ride during parades and fireworks but I guess I may have to make an exception :eek:

For the after hours parties you will definitely want to make an exception as the parade and especially the fireworks are the best part of the evening. So far meeting around Casey's has worked out pretty well. We get there for the parade and pretty much stay in the same place until the fireworks are done. From my understanding the ticket limit for the after hours events is equal to the guest capacity of the parade route so it has not been too much of a problem in the past.

Here are a couple of links to video of last years P&P fireworks show Magic, Music and Mayhem

Again in the past we have done group rides after the fireworks. As with any group of people not everyone wants to do the same thing so you kind of just have to announce "Hey we are going over to HM, if anyone would like to join us feel free." For the most part the majority of the group will follow you and the numbers will tend to diminish from ride to ride. It should not be too surprising but most WDWMagic members are some of the most easy going and agreeable people I have ever met. I have been to half a dozen of so meets with WDWMagic members and no one squabbles about what to do or where to go, but someone has to take control and make a decision and announce it to the group. Otherwise we just tend to stand in a group talking.

I wish I could be there... hopefully MPPP will be offered again in August.

But Master Yoda is right about the fireworks. In my opinion, this is the best fireworks show Disney has ever produced (well, of those that I have seen).

well, as madame_leota_19 and i were the first to bring this meeting together we would be happy to take charge and get everyone on the same page. my wife and i would love to chat w/ everyone while waiting on the parade and fireworks but we'd also love it if people wanted to join us on some rides. so, with that being said we'll set a specific meeting time and place (casey's is fine with us being yoda said it was a good spot. thanks yoda!). i'll have to find out what time the parade and fireworks are so that we can set up a good time for everyone involved!

remember the magic!:)

I'll let you handle everything. I have so much going in before Disney that I would probably loose whatever would be given to me. Everyone just needs to set up a time to meet up a Casey's.

Not a problem I understand.

Regarding the meeting place for the parade, if you want a good viewing and not too crowded location, might I suggest right across from The Country Bear building between the 2 merch carts. The PPP parade starts in Frontier land and goes to main street. My boyfriend and I watch every parade from that spot and there is hardly ever any one there. It seems like everyone goes to main street for parade watching, we hardly ever go to Main Street in our opinion it's just too crowded.

If anyone is dressing up please let either myself or earnhrdt3 know. If you look at my avatar, I plan on wearing the exact same thing.

Also if anyone wanted to, we could exchange cell numbers. Earnhrdt3 and I already did.

You are correct, Main Street will be a bit more crowded than the locations in Frontier land. The plus side is you already have the best spot in the park locked down for the fireworks so IMHO it is a good trade off.

See you there!

Not sure what I'm wearing yet, can't find anything I like that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

As for the cell, I don't usually have it on. Long distance roaming charges bite :) But if Master Yoda is going as the excellent Captain Jack again, he shouldn't be too hard to miss!

Here are the final meeting times (if you can't make it it's ok):

8 PM right across from The Country Bear building between the 2 merch carts for the parade

9 PM in front of Casey's for the fireworks.

Hope this works for everyone.


Master Yoda, if you are gonna dress up as Capt. Sparrow, I would love to see a picture so that I know what to look for. That goes for everyone who will be there. Send out pics of what you are wearing to either me or earnhrdt3. I believe that it will be easier to spot everyone if we have pics.
