DISApalooza 2013 - Official Information Thread

[jcb]

For those who haven't been to one of these events, you might want to review the threads for prior events.

2011 (at Universal) http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2658589&highlight=disapalooza where Dreams Unlimited reserved the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the evening.

2009 was at Toy Story Mania: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2345558&highlight=disapalooza

These should give you a better idea of how the events are organized and conducted but every DIS event has evolved based on what happened (or didn't happen) at a prior event.

This is very exciting. As a new Floridian, and still slowly coming out of lurkdom, this is something I'm going to read into. I hope it's something I'll be able to do.

Sounds like it's coming together nicely. Loved the first meet there!!! And it's a great way to use the last day of my AP!!!

I may have change my arrival date to 12/6.. I will have to see how much vacation time i have left!

Now I'm REALLY hoping for FD! I'm booked for a September trip but have a contingency plan to arrive 12/4 if FD ends up being offered. Fingers crossed!

Hi there and to The DIS!

DISapalooza is a special event that The DIS sponsors every few years. You can find more information about this party in the first post of this thread and, as more details are confirmed, that will be updated.

I hope to see you there!

I remember the last time we did this. 12 times around TSM. Arm sore.

Can't wait til December

 

[OKW Lover]

Booked the Dolphin for this weekend just to have a room nailed down until the DIS negotiates a group rate.

 

[mdvlprof]

I'm thinking of doing that, too.

I have a DVC villa reserved at the Grand Floridian for DAP! Can't wait!

 

[BringingUpDisney]

We will be there - it would be our first!!!

Wow - Congratulations Nikki. That is quite a coveted ticket.

I am rearranging my travel dates by a few days so I can be there that Friday. I was at the last two Toy Mania Events. I can't break my streak.

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Yay we plan on being there

Oh dear God. That last time was horrifying for me. Somehow, I got trapped on TSM!!! Everyone had pretty much gone outside..my co-mod got off the ride but somehow my bar didn't go up..so off I went. I must have gone around that entire ride about 5 times, all by myself!!! No one else that I could see. It was really spooky! And my poor hand/arm was really pooped when I finally got released. I have a feeling that my co-mod had something to do with my being trapped..he worked at DHS at that time, so probably paid a CM to leave me on there, all by myself!!!
