20 Years of Dreams Event - Official Thread

[shainky84]

Can’t wait. Booked DVC at our 11-month window when all this was announced; so awesome to see it all coming together!..... Been following the DIS since my trip 4.5 years ago - when my then boyfriend took me to WDW to celebrate my finishing my grad school. Got married two years after that trip and have visited 5 or 6 times since!!

Just joined this wonderful board. Longtime watcher of the podcast. Planning to going to the event for the first time with my mother and sister.

Welcome!

Also booked my room as part of DVC at the 11 month marked in anticipation of this event. I have a question of any DVC members out there who have participated in the past concerning purchasing the park tickets. According to John's direction "These special tickets only available to those who book a room in the group so you have to call the room reservation number above and they will either book your room stay and then add the tickets or ask you for your resort confirmation number to purchase the tickets." How does this work if one book as a DVC member?

Booked Pop for that week! Now I'm not sure what I'm more excited for, this party/event or going to DLP, for the first time, a month after that! The best part is my boss is letting me!

My birthday is actually the day of the party. We can all celebrate together.

You should definitely get yourself a birthday hat or crown so everyone can recognize you!!!

Is that the London/Paris trip? We're going on that too and would love to meet you! Well, I would, the DH will me next to me rolling his eyes at me. He's a shy guy.

Just booked Contemporary this morning. First trip to that resort!

 

[WebmasterJohn]

Just booked Port Orleans, wanted Contemporary and it was already booked up, can't wait!

If you really want Contemporary you should check back. They are supposed to allow us to add rooms on a case-by-case bases as long as they have inventory still available. I can't imagine every standard room at the Contemporary is sold our dates in 2019 already.

 

[WebmasterJohn]

UPDATE: We have received word that we have sold over half of our group room allotment within a few days of making the announcement. If you want to take advantage of one of the discounted rooms you will need to act fast!!!!

On the schedule everyday is "event registration and credential distribution." I'm flying in on Saturday and won't make it in the 10 am to noon window. Will I need anything in order to get into the Pandora party that night or the podcast the next day?

Yes usually you will have to pick up a credential in order to get into the party.

Yes usually you will have to pick up a credential in order to get into the party.

Do you think there will be an alternative to picking them up if you can't make it in that 2 hour window?

You MUST have your credentials to enter the Party and/or the podcast taping.

We are going to stop credential distribution at noon on the Saturday of the party. We WILL NOT be distributing credentials anytime after that time.

I am sorry but we cannot make any acceptations to this.

I don't mean for this to sound harsh but if you can't get your credentials by noon on Saturday you probably shouldn't sign-up for the event as you will not be able to get into the party of the podcast taping.

John answered the question.

 

[WebmasterJohn]

If I recall there was a pre-party credential pick up at Epcot for the DIS 20 party. Not sure if there will be one again.

There WILL NOT be a pre-party credential pick up the night of the Pandora Party.

Again - I don't mean for this to sound harsh but if you can't get your credentials by noon on Saturday you probably should NOT sign-up for the event as you will not be able to get into the party of the podcast taping.

So if I am interpreting/reading this correctly, you must purchase the party event ticket in order to join/watch the podcast taping the next day. If so, that leaves me/us out for the podcast.

Not to sound braggadocios, but I've been to Pandora double digit times this past year as a local and don't necessarily feel the desire to visit for some time. I also don't think my internal clock will keep me awake past 11 PM anyways.

Thanks for the clarification. I just squeezed in another couple days at Disney because of this! Luckily, they were able to extend my stay on my existing reservation.

If this is like the 2017 event there were credentials needed for all events but there was special thing added on to your credentials if you had signed up for the party. I'm assuming this will be the same, but hopefully John will clarify.

So who's thinking we will be there in time for a Halloween Party!
