Keith - SuPeR K!'s Birthday Event - Sunday, August 15 [UPDATED]
 

OFFICIAL PLANS - UPDATED

For Everyone - Daytime Festivities

We'll be lounging at Swank Bar (officially named The Lounge at Steakhouse 55, next to Goofy's Kitchen) from 3pm-7pm. Everyone is invited! Downtown Disney offers 3 hours of free parking for those of you who don't have an AP. This should give everyone plenty of time to come and join in the daytime shenanigans!

For Those Who Have Park Tickets/Non-Blocked AP's/CM Passes & Can Be Out Late - Evening Festivities

We will be departing from Swank Bar somewhere in the 7pm hour to head into DCA to enjoy GLOWfest before the 10:15pm showing of World of Color. iSm and I will be ordering WoC Picnic Lunches earlier in the day for those of you who plan on joining us. The lunches are around $15 a piece and come in 4 varieties. See your options! If you plan on joining us for WoC, please PM me with your order so we can pick those up for you earlier in the day. (We want to guarantee our seating!) You can pay us back when you arrive. We will be enjoying GLOWfest until 8:40pm, then we will head over to line up for of World of Color. If you plan on attending World of Color with us, please plan on being in DCA by 8:30pm so we can get in line as a group. Also, if you have a poncho you might want to bring that as I'm told you can get wet in the reserved viewing area.

I hope to see you all there! <3

There's a wine bar in the shopping center next to my place called Bacchus Secret Cellar. I've seen some large groups there at night but in the afternoons it's normally slow. They do tastings and bring in food from the neighboring restaurants too.

What a wine noob I was. I never knew till recently that red wine is NOT supposed to be served at room temperature, but at Cellar temperature of 55 degrees fahrenheit.


So I suggest a popular wine bar (and emporium) named, appropriately, 55 Degree Wine in Atwater Village.


I also suggest you just go to Disneyland instead, as I just renewed my AP, but know hardly anyone who still goes to Disneyland.

That's definitely still in the running, I just thought something new would be fun... We could always do the park before or after (with a DD).

I've still never seen World of Color from sea level.



Just 'sayin'

And I hope you never do. Since the Main Street Station at Disneyland is about 138 feet above sea level, I am going to guess that all of the viewing locations for WoC are at least 100 feet above sea level. The view from sea level might not be that good.

We have APs again too - and I think we're not blocked that Sunday...

So maybe we can do a group picnic lunch to get good seats together for World of Color then go to GLOWfest afterwards... Yes?

Count me in as interested. I'll keep checking for updates on this event.

I'd be a yes on that.

Awwww dang I wish we were in town for this!!

Hey...I have an idea, someone I know did it, maybe you could too...DLH Suite? That would be a great way to celebrate a birthday.....;)!

Darn wish I could make it but it's a school night :(

*sigh*

That's why the original plan was to do wine around 4 so everyone could get home... One of these days we'll finally see each other again! <3

Anything finalized yet?

Not to be a partypooper but I thought I saw a post about Glowfest ending? I don't have an AP, haven't been to Disneyland, only read posts so forgive me if my information is incorrect.....

Maybe there can be a Non-AP "free entry," pre-park something somewhere in DTD or hotels? Would the non-APers be too envious when the AP crowd broke away for picnic fun, Glow-Fest, World of Color and glow-suit Gay Club Remix?

Will have to see how things go, but I might be able to sign in a couple of the Non APers that evening.

wolfy...so, you would know about glowfest. I don't know who works there and who doesn't.

Yep I know a bit about it (never been so others know more)....and yes I work at the resort, but over at DL.

We don't have passes, m'dear, so we wouldn't be able to join in on the park stuff. But let us know if you do anything outside the berm and we'll do our best to make it!

Alright I'm making some calls and finalizing plans. I will post everything soon! :)

Sorry CM and I will have to miss it. It's on a worknight for me the next morning early morning shift Sun I am in bed at 9pm. Now if it were on Sat that would be different

A good many folks would be attending the non-AP portion of the festivities, which are going to conclude around 6pm. You could always pretend you don't have APs.


An option.

Looks like I'm going to miss this. I have an AP but don't have and can't swing parking right now for WoC. I just found out my cousin is in town and I am going to be hanging out with her during the day. I could get to the resort around 5 but if it's ending at 6 that's only an hour :(

Is this for sure going to take place at DLR since you are going to the park on Monday or is there a chance you will be finding another wine bar location so everyone can hang out until it's over?

My AP says "Southern California" with a big P (the P is for parking?) I am not sure what pass I have . . . .
-later- ah looking at the Disney page I have the *drumroll* SC AP (duh) and am blocked that day, of course we could just upgrade again . . .

Um, parking at Downtown Disney is Free for 3 hours! - for anyone wanting to join in the non-AP elements of the celebrations. Just sayin'


@BTD - :confused: Are you willing to bring your cousin to a wine bar? Why not just bring them to the Swank Bar, where I'm pretty sure the pre-AP action will be happening? DTD parking is free!

They fly out of LB at 5pm and I haven't seen her in 10 years.

I know it's free but by the time I get there, park and come in you guys will be heading to the park. If I go in the park know I'll be there longer than 5 hours (with validation) but I can't stay until they open the gates to get out for free because it's a school night.

A non-DLR option would have been much more doable but it's K's bday and WoC/DLR is what he wants to do. Bummer, but at least I'll see K on Caturday.

Gotcha, I was just confused about the wine bar comment. No worries. I'm still not clear how a non-DLR thing that started at 4 would be any more "doable" than non-AP DLR thing that starts at 2. But I'm not trying to solicit anyone, just wasn't clear on the concept.


(oh, rumor has it that - since the AP segment might start around 6, the non-AP segment might start around 2 instead of 4.)

You're welcome to join us at the Swank Bar from 2pm-6pm or so ;)

It would be awesome to see you :) Hopefully the daytime Swank Bar meet will work for you!

With a roll of the dice, looks like I'm working. But wish you all the best!

Maddie wants to go up Sunday to "wash the memory of the horrible Pirates and Tiki Room from WDW out of my memory". So we'll try to drop by the Swank Bar and say hi before we head home.

Hahahahahahaha!

How comes no 9:00 WoC with pre-show and all that that entails (that I was so sold on just yesterday, heheh)?



And, um, lounging at the Swank Bar from 2pm to 7pm? Five Hours, really?

We can't get picnics for 9pm. We can however watch some of the preshow from our spot in line ;)

I switched the time to 3pm... Five hours did seem a bit much ;) LOL

Drinkies for sure! Brendan and I are IN! Perhaps we will drink enough and upgrade . . . ;)

Hubby and I are in for drinks and Glowfest....we'll pass on WoC since we've seen it a couple of times now. We'll be heading to the back side for TSMM and see the show from the rear (as was suggested to me) for a different perspective.

I wanna see Murphy. I'm so curious as to how he's doing this season.

I won't skip WoC, because I've yet to see it where I'm asposto. But if Murphy's breathing fire like he did that once last year, it's 4 seconds that beats any 12 performances of World of Color.

I have still yet to see Murphy......:(

It's quite good between the hot dog stand and the Fun Wheel :)

Sorry but after events from yesterday CM and I are skipping tomorrow. Hope you have a blast regardless. I have to add if you haven't seen the new Murphy in Fantasmic GO see him. It is so worth it to see the 4 seconds of him breathing fire onto the rivers of america. Just something about that that makes me smile and happy. I'd take Murphy over World of Color anyday.

Yep, those 4 seconds beat anything I've seen at Disneyland in 4 years.

Yay! I can't wait to see you guys in a few hours!!!

Have fun everybody, I've got to recover so I can go back to being responsible tomorrow. :(

That was a lot of fun, guys! Yay for bacon mac from otherwise closed-to-the-public restaurants!

Woot happy birthday SuperK hope you have a rad birthday!!!

I am sure the celebration was spectacular! I hope it was and send felicitations that the party continues!

We had so much fun and the Mac & Cheese was indeed awesome. Maddie says you're all "really interesting" to listen to, except she's pretty sure she doesn't want an explanation on the Keith/ISM gigolo/womb stretching conversation :)

I don't think I want an explanation either.....

VKBM

:D hahahaha

I had a blast! Thank you so much to everyone :)

I'm not sure if tonight was the tail end of Keith's birthday festivities, but it felt like it. I was just going to go hang out at the hotel he and O having been sharing since K's birthday on Monday - - and I knew a couple of other people were gonna show up, too. But it turned into a really cool party, with tons of people I was happy to meet and others I'd met before, but really connected with tonight.

K needed a bit of uplifting after events of the last day or so, and I feel he could not have done better than a happy night with the gang of cool peeps and fun times that, well, for all I know are still going on at the Menage hotel.


Happy Birthday, Keith. I loves you long time.
