I was thinking maybe a Disney group? (But, I've heard of people not being allowed to wear their costumes into the parks) Dresses and flats! Comfy!

I think adults in Disney costumes are a no-no during normal park hours. For the Halloween party I'm sure there's an exception but normally, no way.

I'm thinking about going as April O'Neil but it's been really hard to find a yellow catsuit that's not too expensive and has the right look. I looked last year as well and nada.

Somebody needs to talk to the woman who made a Paige O. Pannell costume. I refuse to believe Kristin can't make a yellow catsuit for you.

I don't doubt Kristin's abilities at all, I just don't have the money to have something custom made.

Anyone up to start a "Make Foxy a April O'Neil Costume" fund? haha

Dude! I got to be sorted with it when the Museum of Science and Industry had the Harry Potter exhibit!!!!! They only picked 3 people from the crowd, it was awesome!!!

I can't wait to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I will not be able to contain my overload of geekness

Oh yes...Harry Potter Island will happen.

Awesome, I can't wait to check out the Dragon Challenge, Zonko's, and Honeydukes.

Just checked on plane tickets...$550 roundtrip

I almost panicked before I realized that's the price for 2 people...

Still pretty bad, but I paid $235 last year, so...

I paid for my airfare, 600$ from winnipeg to denver, denver to Orlando. Stupid me being in Canada...grumblegrumblegrumble...

So, this was all the buzz on Twitter last night...well...Disney was. The consensus from the Three Amigos seems to be Disney on Saturday.

That would, by default, mean the party would be Friday. Are we cool with whooping it up all Friday night/Saturday morning before heading to the House that Walt Built?

Since we'll need to take two vehicles, one thing that we discussed last night is organizing a car load of people who want to get the most out of their Disney day who are willing to go ahead and wake up as early as need be to get to the park at opening, that way anyone who would prefer to sleep in either doesn't have to wake up extra early or some of the more die hard of us don't get upset because we don't get to the park until 11. So far I know of three people (myself included) who would fall into this category, so we'd probably need another two or three people to make a full car load.

Is this doable, Jason?

Yeah, it's doable....just as long as no one expects any kind of nights sleep on Friday/Sat.

Okay...and that brings up a great point: Transportation. We need to get a handle on a headcount, so we can make arrangements for more vehicles if need be.

Add your name to the list. Even if you're on the fence.

I figured I'd get roughly the same amount I got last year, three hours or so.

You know I'm down.

So I take it it's Disney over Harry Potter island?

The HP fans can stay an extra day and we'll go.

I'mma be in Florida till the 28th, but I'll be staying with a friend on site at the parks, somwehere and such.

So... The 24th I'm going to see Fantasmic at 7:00 pm, so I could possibly go during the day, or something. Totally be cool with that.

Theres a HUGE FUCKING PARTY going down, and I wasn't automatically added to the list? For Shame. In any case, if things go according to plan, there should be 4 to add to the list, Me, Lee, Nicole, and Lee's Head should be carpooling down for the festivities.

...I'm technically on the fence still, but I should be able to scrub up enough cash to go.

Also, Foxy and I were tossing park-costume ideas back and forth on Twitter and thought some of the PoP Princesses could get away with doing a Disney princess-like costumes without going completely all out. Foxy had a picture of girls who did Disney princess-type outfits that were really cute. We can try that, we'd be dressed comfortably and still look like costume-y for the park.

Foxy called Dibs on Ariel, I think it would fun to do a Belle. Would anyone else be interested in doing something like this at all?
