20 Years of Dreams Event - Official Thread

[TheMaxRebo]

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.

I dont' believe you will need the party ticket to attend the taping, but you need to pay the $35 registration fee and pick up your credentials to attend the taping

Basically the $35 registers you for the overall event (which is from the 7th to the 11th) and secures credentials for you - which you need to attend any of the scheduled activities including the taping. To attend the Pandora event you need, on top of that, the party ticket which is $95 on top of the $35

You need to sign up for the event (08/07 - 08/11/19 which is $35) to attend all events those days including the podcast recording on 08/11/2019.

If you want to attend the party on 08/10/2019 at Pandora you have to be signed up for the event ($35) AND THEN sign up for the party ($95) in addition to the event.

You DO NOT have to sign up for the party to attend the podcast taping on Sunday - your event credentials will get you into the podcast taping.

If you decide not to sign up for the party then you will make someone very happy as space at the party will be limited.

Signed up for event, so excited to attend our first dis event!

I just finished booking my room and found that registration was open. Yah! Looking forward to another great party planned by John. (The private Illuminations and Jody Benson concert will be hard to beat)

When booking the room I was told that there was no charge for parking with the Dreams Group rate which is amazing.

Thanks again John and everyone at Dreams and the DIS.

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.

We were on hold for awhile this morning but got it.

 

[gberg]

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.[/QUOTE]
@MaryKatesMom I assume you mean the ABD trip? I'd love to but unfortunately not. It's just a week at DLP plus another week at London and Brussels on my own.

 

[Braddy007]

Signed up and ready !!!!!! I also got the Contemporary but was put on hold while they checked availability. I thought i got the room based on charm but now that I see John's post about available inventory....
Nah, I am going with my charm

I called at 12:16 pm today (10/26) and was able to book 4 nights at the Contemporary. The CM did have to check with his supervisor before letting me book it.

Pandora booked. Something told me not to wait.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

So we are all booked for the event and Pandora!

Very excited - beyond just for the event itself but will be for us:
- First ever parents only trip - no kids!
- First time in 5 years we are staying onsite (other than for 2 quick days I did a solo trip for the DIS 20th event)
- First time doing a split stay!
- First time staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge

Looking forward to (even unofficial) meet up with friends I've made on the boards and also reunion with people we met on the DIS Italy Viking Cruise earlier this year!
