Recovered Yet? Fall Mouse Adventure Date Released - Page 5

katiesue · 08-11-2008, 09:45 AM

Additional details are up this morning here

Registration opens Friday at 8 AM PT.

Advnaced is $105
Regular $95
101 $40

Now I'll just wait for ISM bi-annual cost increase rant

BarTopDancer · 08-11-2008, 10:05 AM

I think we're priced out

innerSpaceman · 08-11-2008, 10:05 AM

Nope, not me. I am retired. Not playing this time, or likely ever again. Or at least, the Denton Affair is permanently retired ... but I would be open to playing on a newly formed team.

In light of the bad press the French 4x100 men's relay swimming team is getting, I would expect all the MouseAdventure trash-talk to cease immediately, non?

How much was it last time? ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS sounds like a lot...

Unfortunately, Disney keeps upping the ante for them.

They're doing it as cheap as they can by booking dates at off times and by using the Pier's facilities, but as long as Disney is going to require them to use the ballroom as they do now...the price is going to remain high.

They can't do it without Disney's cooperation and frankly, since MP can't really quantify ticket sales and the such for the Mouse...I wouldn't be surprised if they are eventually forced into additional banquet services. I'm sure MA is treated as any other conference/banquet event in Disney's eyes, and since sponsorships are contractually prohibited...the cost has to be passed on to the participants.

It sucks, but I'm sure the MP Staff can't do much about it.

I think it was either $70 or $75 last go round.

Holy crap! Unless we could enter the 101, we're priced out too. And, we wouldn't want to enter that category, because we don't think it'd be fair to the newbies who'd we be laughing at as we finish a couple hours early.

Looks like Spring for our come back, as long as I get some paying contract soon. At least we'll know what to budget for it.

Ouch! 105 is kind of a sock to the wallet - but it's my first chance to be a local and I'm not passing it up.

Still room for two more on the team, if anyone's still looking.

That's what I thought - I rather large gap. I totally understand about Disney sticking it to them (and I'm totally a defender of the increases in recent years) but a 33% increase seems large.

We're not paying it anyway, so we're in. (All you guys need to become Masters, then price is not an issue

)

It's not that bad if you're a 3 or 4 person team.

We get that it's Disney's doing - renting the ballroom and having to pay for some sort of presence in the park. Though now with Guest Relations not allowed to take written complaints they won't have to hear about the unhappy guests seeing people wandering around with clipboards.
