July 17 DL Campout Details are up at MP
 

Attention all you birthday revelers. There is information on how DL is handling entry on July 17 up in today's MousePlanet DL Update. Here's the link.

Basically, if you want to be one of the first, the line starts at 2AM inside DCA.

Happy camping!

Looks like we'll all need to add wristbands of various colors and numberings to our survival packs.

First impression - at least the free ears will be different than the ones we already bought...

And I'm not camping out. Have fun to those who do :)

There will be an new "window dedication" at Disneyland at 6am on Main Street, USA. Matt Ouimett will dedicate a window above the Main Street Cinema to the Disneyland Resort Cast Members in a special early morning ceremony on July 17th. i will make it to the ceremony, but, will miss out on the rest of the fun with you guys.


my request for "Authorized Day Off" was

Ooh, have to remember to look up there! Thanks for the tip.

This DCA thing has me perplexed. They say it's a line and not a party, yet their staffing some of the eateries. I'm also miffed that if they can do this, they could have easily done a 50 hour party and accomplished the same thing realizing more revenue.

I still doubt DCA will fill up with 70K people ready to flood the gates, but this sure makes it inviting to the folks their for the limited edition pin releases, so I have to perhaps double my camping guestimate from somewhere under 5K to somewhere under 10K (MAX).

The "campers" will make this a party whether Disney wants to or not. Disney, since they opened DCA for this, will most likely do its best (spur-of-the-moment) to keep this fun for its guests. So it does make me wonder what I might miss out on, by not going to the DCA campout.

They've got limited eateries open because they know not everyone will schlep enough food to last them from 2 AM on. It appears to be their attempt to at least control the goings on and head off any potential problems. It's a good idea, seeing as how I've seen my fair share of unruly lines in recent months waiting outside of various concerts.

They only need minimal amount of foods people and security to contain the line.

Why did I just get a flash of the Jail Scene in PotC?

Trapped inside DCA, Tired, STARVING.....must get out!

This could be fun. We could read Harry Potter outloud!
