DIS 20th Anniversary Event - Official Info



Hi everyone! I have a question re: the Thursday party and an auction question. I will be coming in town Thursday afternoon and headed to the party that evening. I am a fairly new listener so really don't know anyone on here. So if you see a nice guy alone with a Southern accent, please introduce yourself! I am kind of worried it will be weird being alone! :) I don't have enough posts for an avatar pic, but I'm also at https://www.facebook.com/jeffreyawaters

My auction question: I see where the yacht auction is online, but are any of the other silent auction items online where I could possibly bid online? Or are these items strictly an in person thing. I won't be coming to town until the auction is over so just wanted to verify. Thanks so much in advance and I hope to meet some of you on Thursday or through the weekend. Jeff

Yes, the auction is going to be on Handbid again like it was at the Mega Meet.

First off, glad you are coming - and there are a lot of us going solo so you won't be the only one or anything

They definitely will have the auction online, using an app called Handbid - it just isn't live yet. I think they said it would go live on the 29th
 
I wish they would change the date for this, as I do not arrive until Wednesday night! Friday would be best, I think..
There are so many things happening this week they had to do it during when they had time. They have two official meet ups on Friday already.

I'll try and look for you, not that it will be easy in the dark with 1,000 people, but you never know.

As for being alone at your first event, no worries. It's a very friendly group. Just do what you're momma taught you not to - talk to strangers. The first time we attended a Dis event, we didn't know a soul. Today, some of the people we've met at Dis events are among our very best friends in the world.

Welcome! We don't bite...well most of us don't anyway. :) DISers are a great bunch. I went to my first 2 DIS meets solo and had a blast. Met some great friends. I was mostly solo for the Mega Meet last summer as well. Don't worry about being solo!

Another southern accent here...glad I won't be the only one!
 
Alright! Well, keep an eye out for me (gotta look close at those badge names)... Maybe we can put Italian flag stickers on our credentials?

My partner and I might look for Italian flag stickers or pins to wear. Otherwise we'll keep a close eye on badge names.
 
45 minute wait for tower of guardians, er, I mean Mission long line... I had to hit it before going to WDW :)

Just rode it... Lota of fun!

I rode 2x in a row, met some nice people that I hung out with the rest of the night and even met a former inagineer!

I keep seeing people say 1000 people at the party..wow! Is that an official cap # or just an educated guess? Jw
:)

Several weeks ago, during one of the Tuesday shows, Kevin said they had over 1,000 people registered for the EPCOT party. He also said they were keeping the registration open a bit longer since he had some other # he was trying to reach. Kevin didn't state what that second # was.
