***** Overall Update and Reminder *****
Hi everyone, just thought I would post a quick status up and just reminder of what is known/unknown about official activities, unofficial ones, and events going on at Disney (or rumors) for when we will be there
Official DIS Events/Activities:
- Transportation after the Pandora Party: An e-mail went out to everyone who registered for the party about signing up for bus transportation back to Disney hotels - $10/person. If you didn't get the e-mail, reach out to John
- Auction Donation Items: Main thread has a link for registering what items you want to donate. On the DIS Unplugged Show this week they mentioned that they are likely to have a cutoff of July 1st for when they would need to receive items for. The link does mention you can wait to bring them with you if you are attending, but on the show Teresa mentioned she would prefer if you send them earlier
- Live Podcast: Reminder there will be a live podcast you can attend on Sunday - exact timing not set but John said it won't be too early as they need to recover form Pandora party. Expected to be at Contemporary
- Events during the week: Still to be scheduled, Pete mentioned on podcast this week they are working on their ideas and should have more info relatively soon
- Patreon Event: Pete also mentioned there will be an event that week exclusive to Patreon members (no further details at this time)
Disney Events and Rumors:
- Skyliner: Yesterday it was reported that they were testing the DHS line with people in it. While Disney still hasn't updated their opening timeframe of "Fall" but all signs are pointing to this being open early, most assuredly prior to when Galaxy's Edge opens on Aug 29th. I think much more likely than not it will be open for when we are there - don't hold me to it as no guarantees but I think we will get the "Bucket Crawl" in
- Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway: Latest rumor on this one is that there have been some technical issues and might not open until 2020. I would not expect/plan for this to be open when we are there
- Disney Villains After Hours at Magic Kingdom Event: Hard Ticket event planed for Thursdays in the Summer, with last date being Thursday, August 8th, so the week many of us will be there. Cost is $125/person
- Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night Progressive Dining Event at Animal Kingdom: special dining event at Animal Kingdom held on Wednesdays this summer and fall, including Wednesday, August 7th @6pm. Cost is $125/Adult and $99/child - theme park admission required
- DVC Moonlight Magic at Animal Kingdom: Scheduled for Thursday, August 8th (can be booked starting June 5th)
UnOfficial Events:
Obviously a number of them are still pending, but some events to keep in mind as you think about other events you may want to do, including those listed above:
- Wed 8/7 @ 10am: Breakfast in MK
