Fall MouseAdventure -- October 14, 2007

[Stan4dSteph]

FYI, for those traveling in from out of town who might not have seen the information at the bottom of the MouseAdventure page, there are a limited number of hotel rooms at lower rates:

Hotels – For those teams that wish to plan a mini-vacation around MouseAdventure, we have negotiated a 20% discount at the Howard Johnson Hotel in the Anaheim Resort (just across Harbor Boulevard from Disneyland). This rate is valid October 12 – 15. You must make your reservations by calling the in-house reservation line (714-776-6120, ext. 640), and mention "MouseAdventure" when you book. Note: The central Howard Johnson reservation line can not make reservations with this discount. If the in-house reservation center is busy or closed, your call may be routed to the central reservation line, so you will need to try again later.

Teams may also receive discounted rates at the three Disneyland Resort Hotels:

* Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel: $189.00 per night
* Disneyland Hotel: $209.00 per night
* Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa: $279.00 per night

Rates quoted above do not include the Resort fee and applicable taxes. Rooms are extremely limited, and you should make your reservations as soon as possible. You must book directly through Disney, using the contact information below, and tell the operator that you are attending the MousePlanet event to obtain these rates. The Paradise Pier Hotel will be the most convenient hotel for teams participating in MouseAdventure.

And so I'll ask you, the expert .... how much In Drag can I be before they won't let me through the turnstyles??

[Not Afraid]

I doubt that would stop you regardless. I've seem some pretty lovely drag queens at DL.

That would make it cheaper for ME, assuming the snow was located somewhere in the Northeast.

95% full

Wow, it's a good thing my teammate noticed that Masters Teams also have to register before space expires, otherwise they're S.O.L.


That's the first time this has been required. Um, I don't know why that's necessary. Yes, here's another complaint: What, a couple of lanyards need to be made, and four more xeroxes run?? I don't get it.

Besides, two of the Masters Teams have now turned to the dark side (i.e, staff and/or beta-testing), and the other two have never missed a game. Since no Masters Team has EVER not participated ... I think they can rely on that assumption.

Ok, whatever. That's another new wrinkle that won't kill me.


But for every memory Kevy has of Alex being denied the use of a bull-horn, I have five of him using the bullhorn in the picnic area with no problems.

Now I'm getting all misty-eyed for the days when the awards were given out at Carnation Gardens inside the Park. Le Sigh.



And, for the record, trashing Disney and MP costs is all the trash-talking I can do in this thread. The days of my team creaming everyone else are long over.

There is a capacity limit on the facilities.

I think last year they said it was a 500 people capacity. That is why there is also no additions to the teams after space is full.

"By the way"? Ran out of complaints for that moment so you bring up a totally unrelated thing to continue your gripefest? Sometimes you impress even me.

It's not how much drag, it's how good your drag is. Gotta fool those turnstyle folks.

Not true, we missed a game before (for Paris, I think) and now we're missing another game. And like GD said, the room has a capacity.

Ah, but it may very well kill US, having to hear you bitch and bitch about every little thing.

"Now"? Don't you mention that fact EVERY frelling time? (BTW, even GD and I weren't around for that, it's just you and Kevin Yee that pine for that.)

Thank you for admitting the real truth here - Sour Grapes. I think all geezerism is just a large case of sour grapes.

[innerSpaceman]

Eh, reading a few curmudgeon posts won't do anyone any more harm than having to register in time like the rest of the paying customers.


Oh, and bottled water wasn't unrelated. It's my chosen example of a thing most people now pay for, that they used to get for free. With the added irony that they can still get the same thing for free.
