*UN*Official 20 Years of Dreams Event Thread

[NWasikWare]

Ok, update for my sis and I. We are also interested in the welcome event, group photo with Mickey and Minnie, the World of Animation viewing, a trivia night. I'm assuming the moonlight magic night is for DVC members only, but we'd love to partake if anyone would like to adopt us for a night as their guests AND we are willing to adopt any solo travelers that would like to hang out with two crazy Disney sisters Basically all the Disney things with Lucy and Ethel

got it! Yes, the Moonlight Magic is just for DVC people but they can bring up to 3 guests so we have been trying to arrange for others to pair up, but hard to guarantee that

We're very excited for our first event and looking forward to meeting everyone

**** Hoop Dee Doo Event update *****​

Hi All,

So thanks to @PrncessA we have Hoop Dee Doo Booked for everyone! (Thank you!!)

She was able to secure 25 seats in Category 1 and 10 in Category 2 via two bookings from people on the Dining Plan so those of us not using the dining plan can pay when we pick up the tickets

So we need to group ourselves into Cat 1 and Cat 2 (I know not ideal, but is what it is)

For those paying out of pocket, the costs will be:
- Category 1: $72 gross, then $57.60 net after TiW
- Category 2: $69 gross, then $55.20 net after TiW


Here is the list .... Please let me know if you have a preference for which category, please let me know ... I know that @gberg and @Kathleen Glasgow indicated ok with either

2 TheMaxRebo's wife

**** Hoop Dee Doo Event update *****​

Thank you so much, @PrncessA !! We would definitely prefer Cat 1

 

[Vernon Wolfe]

I'm good with either category. Wherever you need to stick me.

 

[Tiggerette]

Hello,
I'd prefer Cat 1, and plan to pay cash at the event to the TiW card owner in our table of 10. Thank you very much for coordinating this event! Looking forward to my first time there.


PS. This is a Prairie theme show right? Or is it more Western than prairie? Dressing in theme could be a lot of fun. Or maybe group bandanas....

Not arriving until 8/6 so can’t join you. We’ll likely do our shift after the DIS event ends as we’re staying until the 16th.

Let me check our schedule, but I wanted to target the following weekend so I can also attend the Dis taping/podcast that Sunday (fingers crossed that this does happen).

Good news......doesn't matter when we do it...…….the point is to volunteer!

Yep. We’ve gone 4 times previously.

 

[roylanc]

well of course i completely forgot!!! so typical...but i did eventually remember....
so at 1:30 PM my time (6:30 AM eastern time) i tried to get into my MDE app on my iphone 6.....
and why am i specifying that i have an iphone 6?
because i discovered today that the MDE app no longer works on my phone.

since i was in a restaurant with DH, i grabbed his iphone X and quickly downloaded the app, logged into my MDE and booked the most critical (LOL) of the ADRs (beaches and cream - and that warrants another LOL)

i completed the rest of the ADRs when i got home after lunch (except for our last day that i'll have to do tomorrow)

DD and DSIL also checked their phones (also iphone6) and it didn't work on theirs either...

so i guess this means that i'll have to buy a new phone before this summer....and that definitely qualifies for a lot of those icons..

i hate it when apps are no longer backward compatible....

so......what's it to be? another iphone? android? opinions?

.

Got me worried for a bit as I have an I6 but luckily the app is working fine for me....

 

[dkrauss]

This morning was ADR morning . I was up, showered, and ready to go at 6am. My first pick was Storybook Dining......my first 4 attempts returned a dreaded Disney failure popup . So I took the same reservation to an earlier date in our trip.....and BINGO. Got it. Went to selection #2 which was actually on the date I just got SBD for. Since the times were far apart I got the #2 pick! Yay. At this point I thought you got the 2 tough resi's…...why not go back to see if you can get the SBD resi on the day you really want (Aug11th). So I put it in.....with my early time of 5:30......BANG! It comes up.....we're set! All of this happened in the first 6 minutes.

I had 4 more resi's to make the most notable being Tusker House......got them all in. Now here's the kicker...….something everyone should remember, Go Back and Review what you've done.....seriously. As I reviewed my updates I came to our Tusker House breakfast (on party day )……...however, what I saw was 8:15PM!!! not what I wanted 8:15AM!!! Panic set in, because we love the Donald Breakfast at TH.....fortunately I was able to go in and update the reservation to the correct time.

Once I confirmed all my resi's (note all at or within 15 min of the time I planned ) I was able to go back in and cancel the extra SBD resi! All done in 17 minutes...boy am I anal about this.

So...….check your work people! ADR's are done...…..just waiting for the DIS folks schedule.

If possible I would like Cat 1 seat, as I've never been before.

To my 7th August Breakfast people

@TheMaxRebo @SG131 and @Malia78

The Plaza is no longer doing breakfast - I am hoping that they might introduce it and if they do I'll be on it like a car bonnet...

Had a look at other venue and I've managed to get a booking at "The Wave" at 10am (I've never eaten there but the guys last review was okay) also you can either have the buffet or order off menu.

Happy to change it for somewhere else if anyone has other suggestions - I did try BOG but the reservation were very early.

 

[PrncessA]

I was happy to do it everyone!

We definitely prefer Category 1 for our party. We have a 1st Time Visitor in our group (and his SO has never been to HDDR)!! They so excited! It's a lot of pressure to plan a visit for other people!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Hello,
I'd prefer Cat 1, and plan to pay cash at the event to the TiW card owner in our table of 10. Thank you very much for coordinating this event! Looking forward to my first time there.


PS. This is a Prairie theme show right? Or is it more Western than prairie? Dressing in theme could be a lot of fun. Or maybe group bandanas....

I think Prairie is the right theme - or Frontier .... so not really Western that is heavy on the Cowboys and shootouts and stuff. So think more Davey Crockett than Billy the Kid

wdwinfo (a.k.a., here, the DIS) describes it as "fun, rollicking, Western-themed vaudeville dinner show" so what do I know

definitely a bummer but hopefully they extend it (breakfast at the Plaza). We could just meet up for quick service - either at the Main St bakery or Sleepy Hallow has some good stuff (looking at you waffle with nutella and fruit!)

I updated the post on page one to indicate you are set for August 5th and to contact you if others are interested in joining on that date

Just a reminder, here are those that expressed interest in volunteering (though I know already the 5th doesn't work for everyone):

- @dkrauss
- @SG131
- @hertamaniac
- @disneysteve
- @rchristiansen
- @poohj80
- @NWasikWare and sister

 

[SG131]

So, I am changing my dates. I will now be going from Aug 6-15, still at pop. A friend decided she was going to take a trip this August too so I switched dates around to overlap with her trip a bit.

That stinks about the Plaza. It got such good reviews I'm surprised they stopped it already. Whatever you guys decide is fine with me.
