Great ideas. I wish I could try them all but I did see a couple that look extra appealing

Could you add nanb (Nannette) and Melody to Yee ha Bob get together and the Rhino tour. You can add our real names.

Hi - just wanted to check if you meant to type more in this message or if I missed something

 

[TheMaxRebo]

My wife Tina and I will be staying at our DVC home AKL for the week. We would like to join the pre party and maybe some of the other events. One suggestion maybe a meet up at Disney springs or Epcot ?

We could definitely try to organize something - I know for the 20th we had a big group that all had lunch at Homecomin' for example

In the past I think the team has also had some of the smaller official events in those locations (I think they did drinks in WS and shopping in DS for example)

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Please add me (Isabelle) to the meet-up pre-party but only if it's at AKL since we won't have park tickets during our August trip (we simply added 2 days to our beach vacation so I could attend the party). Also, maybe we should plan a pre-party dinner at Boma?

I would prefer to have the meet up at a place where we aren’t locked into a one price etc. so if those of us that don’t want to spend a lot can still attend.

We could definitely try to arrange a dinner beforehand as well - I know for the 20th a bunch of us had lunch at Homecomin' and then others met at Geyser Point beforehand, etc. ...

... but maybe do that as subliminal (or for before/after) to the meet up at Victoria Falls or something

As we get closer I figure I will split the meet into at AKL and inside AK as seems like there is enough interest to do both

Not sure what happened here. Still getting familiar with the format. I did see the actual message I meant to send but just in case.
Add Nannette and Melody to the Yee Ha Bob and Rhino tour interest groups.

Thanks for checking

Hi! We are doing a family trip (along with friends of ours), unlike last trip where I was solo. But I am hoping to fit in quite a bit of official and unofficial meetups!

We are booked at POR Aug. 3-11, although we might end up doing a split stay! Not sure if we are doing the party yet.

Interested in:
Yeeha Bob
Hoop Dee Doo Revue
Good for families

I am really hoping for another Connecting With Walt Meetup, it was amazing last year!!! So excited to see everyone again!

 

[czechplz]

Maybe 2 rooms at POP and REQUEST (not guaranteed) adjoining rooms. And I will be solo and love to go to Harry Potter land!

Great! As of right now, I have the 6th marked as our Universal Day on our itinerary.

So excited for this party. I love the variety of pre-party activities too. We are a family of 4: Me (Shanda), husband (Alvin) and our two sons AJ (16) and Dylan (13). We have just joined DVC and know we have many happy disney vacations in our future. We will be staying at our "home" for the first time- Copper Creek, unless we bring our nephew and then we will need to move to somewhere a studio can fit 5. We are interested in the Keys to the Kingdom tour, universal studios (depending on ticket prices), and I know our boys would love a teen meet up.

I really hope there is something for Connecting with Walt / with Micheal Bowling - I love that podcast (heck, my wife and I wore our Connecting with Walt t-shirts when we were on the DIS trip in Italy) but haven't met him in person (beyond a quick hello)

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Great! As of right now, I have the 6th marked as our Universal Day on our itinerary.

just an FYI that I updated the post to indicate that, for now, targeting August 6th for the Universal day and indicated you as a contact person, hope that is ok

Congrats on joining DVC! I added your info but just an FYI I listed it under "Wilderness Lodge/Copper Creek"

Hey Max add me and my wife, Donna to the Pre-Party Meet Up event at AKL. Sounds like a party before the party

Lunch at Homecomin or Raglan Road or something similar would be great.I would be willing to help out on this.

Would also be interested in Hoop de doo ,ye haw Bob and maybe a tour. We will also be renting a car.

I think a YeHaa Bob event would be really fun - I added it to the list. I think for at least one event in the past Corey and Julie planned an event there as I think they, and their kids, like watching him

As for the character dance party, do you mean like the ones in the parks? Not sure the best way to plan that (or who would be interested) but I know the new Move It, Shake It, Mousekasance It! is starting soon - maybe we could plan an in-park meet up that included that?

My husband and I went to see YeHaa Bob a few years ago when we stayed at POR and loved it! DH is a shy guy who doesn’t like being the center of attention, so naturally Bob picked him and made him do ridiculous things around the whole bar. It was hilarious!!!

As for Move it Shake it, we love parades so if anyone would like to join us you’re more than welcomed! It doesn’t have to be an official unofficial event . Maybe we can get Pete to force Charles to join us considering how much he hates the name of the new show...

I enjoy parades as well. I figure I should catch the new Mickey version of the move it shake it at least once on this trip, if not I will definitely see it next October when I go for my food and wine and birthday trip.
