DIS 20th Anniversary *UN*OFFICIAL meet ups, events and make a friend thread.

Id like to view from TTC ...I've never seen them from there so it would be something new -viewed from the beach before. With the new show, who knows what to expect ..but aren't they saying less fireworks?

Probably less, but still quite a bit (more than what it in the Star Wars show) - though I guess no one knows for certain until it actually goes

Disney isn't saying less, they are saying the biggest fireworks spectacular yet but they also are saying lights, lasers, projections which when startwars first came out was great, and then they updated it and started cutting back on costs and the fireworks aren't the same there...

Honestly, I'm not expecting much from an update and if it becomes watching a tv show on the castle with some fireworks I'm going to be pissed.

TTC has louder music in my opinion but it's very illuminated so not sure how much I would want to destination it to watch. personally I don't care about being there just after 9:30 so I'm thinking poly beach and then walking around to ttc as soon as it ends.

It's faster to take the express bus from inside MK!

I don't think I agree with that because of when they run and when fireworks normally are. Do you want me to add this to the list though? Different people are going ot be looking for different things and it's sounding like it's going to be a rather large crowd attending.

The last express bus to EPCOT will be at 8:40 p.m. on June 1st, and the fireworks are currently scheduled for 9 p.m. The express transportation won't be an option for the party night.

Are you sure the express busses run during EMH? I thought it was only during normal hours.

I was talking about May 31st, fireworks then AK... and yes, they (Disney) told me they run up to 30 minutes before park close, including EMH...

Sorry. I must have gotten confused since I thought you were replying to Accident talking about the idea for June 1st.

It honestly depends on if my Dad wants to get the express transportation. I did it on my trip 3 weeks ago just to try it out, and I found it to be worth it in many cases. I'll talk to my Dad about that, and see if we would be up for it.

Well, I will definitely be at AK on the 31st but only getting that one park/one day ticket so can't do the transportation but happy to try to meet up after you arrive!
 
Staying 5/31-6/4 at Pop, for my first solo trip. Doing the 4-Park Magic ticket, so no park hopping.

I will plan on meeting you sometime on that day. I'm just waiting to find out when some events are going to happen and then I will finalize my schedule. I'm positive I can make it there by EMH though. If I can make it there earlier, I'll probably get fastpasses for Rivers of Light for that night and two attractions that I like at AK. I might also get 1 Pandora attraction and 1 other attraction I like. I really don't know how I'm going to do my fastpasses. On any given trip, I usually change fastpasses like 4 or 5 times before I show up to WDW lol.
 
I am only getting in on the 31st so that will be my Animal Kingdom Day, if that could work with your plans.

I was thinking about watching the fireworks from the beach but when I saw they want you at EPCOT at 9:30 I figured just safer to watch right from the TTC (and to be honest, I have heard that is a really good spot and I haven't viewed the fireworks from there yet) - but if everyone else wants the beach I could be swayed

May 31st is our AK Day too! Res at Wine pairing at Jiko at 3pm, looking to do free food tour at 4pm, and ROL res at TIffin 615pm for 915 show, planning on staying into night. Hoping to make FP for Pandora that day! Maybe we can met up. It is my husband and I.

Wow sounds great - especially the wine pairing. What's the free food tour?

Would be great to meet up and say hi!

Thank you for starting this thread. Great ideas! Please add me to looking for bar friends and looking for other solo travelers. I arrive 5/30 late and leave 6/2 about noon. Definitely want to do pandora post Epcot party, abracadabra etc
 
Guess I should add my info:

Arrive - May 31st / depart June 1st

Looking for park friends: though my only park day (other than the party) is Animal Kingdom on May 31st


Looking for dining friends:

Looking for bar friends:

Note: I will likely just pick up my credentials on the 1st and assuming that is at the Boardwalk like for the Megameet I might do lunch on the Boardwalk that day (though I see the Abracadabar only opens at 5pm)
 
Traveling Solo 5/31 - 6/4, staying at Pop Century. I went with a 4 day park hopper for this trip.
