That is so awesome looking forward to meeting you all. I am staying at BLT with my sister Carma3 and our mom from the 6th to 12This will be our first trip! I’m bringing the husband and two of our friends for an adult only getaway weekend. This was the perfect excuse. Sooo excited! Staying at AKV Kidani 8th-11th. This makes 3 trips for me in 2019 and 4 trips for my husband.
Hi everyone! This is my first post on the boards, so I hope I’m replying to the right thing! Haha. I discovered The Dis in 2017 when I was planning my bachelorette party and I have been slightly obsessed ever since! I don’t get to Disney often, so I have to live vicariously through the podcast! I’m excited to be attending my first Dis event with my husband!! We are staying at French Quarter Aug 9-11th. We are interested in the bar crawl or any of the resort meet ups. I’d love to meet fellow fans. It seems like this is an awesome community and I can’t wait to be a part of it!

Meet Up Ideas:
Welcome event - for adults, teens, and kids (At POP Century):
On Wednesday, August 7th, we will hold a welcome event so that people can introduce themselves and put some faces to names. This is a great opportunity to meet some people early on so you can see some friendly faces later in the week and at the party on Saturday. This will also be a chance for teens and kids to meet one other folk of the similar ages and hopefully make some new friends! @rchristiansen will lead the organization of this!

Bar Crawl:
Note: this was originally the Skyliner Bucket Crawl, but Disney has announced the official opening as "Fall 2019" so we can't expect to be able to ride it.
Option 1: Skyliner "Bucket Crawl" if open, to include a meal at Sebastien's Bistro at Caribbean Beach
Option 2: Monorail Crawl: Can also include a stop at Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge
Option 3: Disney Springs Crawl: Stopping at some of the best places for a drink at Disney Springs
Option 4: Boardwalk - including Abracadabar and Jelly Rolls
Option 5: Combination of the above, likely to end at the Boardwalk/Jelly Rolls

So excited, and may be overthinking but...how have Dis event groups made ADRs in the past for the unofficial events? Separate at the same place or together? I have a TIW membership and would be glad to help for Hoop dee doo once we determine a date. Just know ADRs are creeping up on us, and not sure which dates are hammered out for the events or what to do when the time comes. Thanks
Hello - not sure where I'm staying just yet but I'll be there 8/7 - 8/12. I definitely want to do the pre-party for pandora on the 10th. I'll know a little later about the other meet-ups. How do I get my name added in on the events? I'm probably doing this wrong.
Just guessing at this point, but how many park days is everyone actually doing with all these other events? Are you thinking like Thursday and Friday? Or more or less?
We don’t plan our days in advance but we will most likely buy APs so we have the freedom to go in whenever we want to. We’ll be there for about 11 days.Just guessing at this point, but how many park days is everyone actually doing with all these other events? Are you thinking like Thursday and Friday? Or more or less?
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1not really a right or wrong way
I've added you to the first post as "TBD" for location and that you are interested in the pre-party

While I have an AP, we got my wife a 5-day pass with hoppers (just what the best deal was at Undercover Tourist before they changed the ticket structure)
We are there Tuesday to Tuesday, so will have 6 full days, so plan to have 1 off day where we don't go to the parks ... that will likely be Sunday as a) recovering from the party and b) we are switching resorts that day
We are planning to be a bit more relaxed this trip so probably less time in the actual parks, but will have the opportunity to go to them at least a bit for 5 days
