DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info

[Bradcorn1]

Disney actually doesn't define it any further than that. Its kind of a catchall for them to use if they think people are taking pictures for commercial purposes.

There are lots of DIS folks like @WebmasterMike and @WebmasterPete @WebmasterCorey who will be walking around with some serious camera equipment.

So just leave my 600mm lense in the car I should be fine

Is it ok to arrive to the event late? I have a dining reservation that night and getting to the gate by 9:30 will be a challenge.

At previous after-hours events, I believe people had to be escorted to the party area. Not sure if that will be the case this time. Can you show up for your ADR earlier than scheduled? They'll usually seat you earlier, if you do.

I'm looking forward to meeting people - and saying hi again to people I already know

Have been part of thedisboards for.....maybe 8 years. Just recently began watching your podcasts on youtube and look forward to them. Wish I could come, sounds like a lot of fun, keep on doing what you're doing, its appreciated!!!

Honestly, it's what, 10$ more than what people would pay for an IllumiNations dessert party? And we are *technically* getting an IllumiNations dessert party (sans free booze, but that's like, nothing), and then all those other incredible things on top of it.

That reminds me. Way too early in the planning to know or announce, I'm sure, but has there been any hint as to what is the beverage situation going to look like? I've never been to any private event so I really don't know how all this is handled.

I believe they said there would be a cash bar, but I can't swear to that.

Odd question what does Disney define as professional camera equipment?

Deciding which camera to bring that weekend.

Bring whatever you want, if they question it, just say you're not a professional, just for personal use. Also, you will probably be able to bring anything to the private event because it's a private event . Maybe even a rolling case

LOL.. yeah, if you have a 600mm prime, definitely do not walk around with it! Nust to save your back!

Cancel or change that reservation! This is more important!

Hi Everyone,
I just tried to register, but I got the following message: "At this time we have reached the total number of attendees for this event. We are no longer accepting new registrants at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Is the event really full? I was under the impression that space was still available. I'd love to attend. Any insight would be appreciated!

Whew... if this is true, I'm glad I decided to register when I did! I was worried it was going to get sold out!

I imagine there'll be an announcement in today's podcast. Whether it's full or what.

At the start of the podcast, John didn't mention it being sold out, he said it was very close to it though, so it's possible between the last time he checked and now.

Maybe we'll get more news after the podcast is over since the team probably isn't checking the thread right now.

It wasn't, less than an hour ago. Send an email to John, maybe?

Where? A place that runs on time or one that runs late? How far from it to Epcot? I wouldn't push it but really much depends on the ADR and how coveted it is

Can you think of anything more depressing at WDW than being stranded at the gate without anyone able to let you in, while you think about all the people having fun just inside?

I'll probably have a stress dream like this at some point before the party.

Yikes, I hope not! My brother had trouble registering and I believe is still waiting on a response to his email. He registered for the main event ($25) and was charged the $25 twice and then also $85. He said he never even went to the party registration link. He doesn't want to register for the party twice by accident

I wanted to follow up on my earlier post. I heard back from John on whether the event was full and he suggested that I might be getting this message because someone else with my same last name might have already registered. So, he told me to add a 1 to my last name and it worked great. As a result, I have now registered for the 20th anniversary! Thanks John, you rock!

 

[Cottager]

Had no problem signing up for the event and the party at 8:00 pm EST tonight (Tuesday). If anything, you "encouraged" me to stop delaying and finally sign up!!!
