Not exactly true - at our first MA (Fall 2001) they gave us a copy of it on a floppy, along with our team pics. It's in PDF form. I think they let us keep the hard copy that year too. Since then however, they haven't allowed us to keep any of the materials.

In fact, that's how my team got interested in the game ... they gave out the entirety of the game before and we went thru it. Was fascinating stuff, and so we signed up for the next one (and the rest, as they say, is MouseAdventure history!)

I guess there's no trouble in getting participants nowadays, but back then it was a great promotional tool.

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the info.

See, reason enough right there to reconsider the policy

I've considered attending MA, but as I don't live terribly close, it would involve a bit of committment, both time and funds. And since I don't have access to any samples, I really have no idea if it's my kind of gig or not. It sounds like something I'd like, but airfare/hotel/admission are too expensive for me to sign up without knowing more.

We can tell you in detail what the traditional MA is like. There are plenty of threads over at MP talking about each and every quest since the Pad came into being.. We know MA - we can answer any question you have.

PM me if you like.

Just so you guys know, we've made a bit of a reversal on this one.

We're going to sell the open packets for those who would like one, as an experiment this time around.

Wtg, Alex! I think it's a fantastic idea- maybe it will be the Beta test for the home game version?

Count the number of light switches in your living and divide by the number of Disney characters visible when standing in your front door.
