Mouse Adventure Date Announced - April 29, 2007

Disneyland has simply made it prohibitively expensive to rent an in park venue. When a local radio station rents Festival Arena for 500 people, that radio station generally needs to also purchase 500 admission tickets.

Disneyland has decided they want that money even if the admission tickets aren't needed. If we tried to pass that expense on to the players, MA, would end up costing almost $100 per person. And it is certainly not an expense MousePlanet could just eat.

Believe me when I say every possible alternative we can think of has been seriously considered. And short of limiting the game to 30 teams and going underground again (which would have all kinds of perils now that Disney is on edge because there is some scavenger hunt type event going on almost every weekend now and many of them create more hassle for the park with 50 players than we do with 500) we're running with the options that at least allow us to do the game.

Ah ok, tight. Thanks Steph. Now we won't miss the next one at least, I hope!

Sucks about a bad apple or two spoiling an incredibly tight, well-run event that still manages to stay fresh and fascinating year after year. I am always amazed in how well MA is managed and despite it's upsurge in popularity, still manages to cause minimal to no disruption to the average tourist.

The amount of work that must go into it is mind-blowing. Of course, we always manage to find the mistake or two that inevitably make it into the packets.
