Intercot Anniversary?

[Disney4us2]

I know we are all eagerly awaiting the dates.

Just curious for those who went to the 10th. What kind of activities/meets were set up? Just want to know what to expect and build my anticipation.

There were all kinds of fun things! Meetups at different parks, trivia, ride throughs as a big group (we did Small World, Soarin', Three Caballeros, Monster's inc and a failed attempt at Expedition Everest, lol), drinks at the Poly, and of course the big event was a private meet with Mickey and a dessert party during IllumiNations (worth the price I assure you!).

In addition to some of the formally organized meet ups, there were many people who got together at different times for meals, spent afternoons touring the parks together, and I believe met up at the Grand Floridian for afternoon tea.

Whatever they come up with for this next anniversary event I am sure it will be Magical! It was an amazing time to meet your virtual friends for real! I can't wait!

We had a great meet at JellyRolls also.

Jellyrolls sounds like fun for me. DD would be excluded though as she will only be 12...almost 13 at the time.

Any tween events? Waterpark meets?

Oh, I remember that Grand Floridian afternoon tea very well. Our dear friend Cher dragged me despite my voracious protesting, but she bribed me by promising to mail me a box of treats after the trip. Cher, if you're reading this, please know that I still think you're the second-greatest baker on Earth (I have to be careful just in case my girlfriend happens to see this post somehow )

Anyway, the formal meet-ups were fantastic, especially the private IllumiNations viewing, but the real pleasures of the trip were the smaller, impromptu activities. I remember heading to Animal Kingdom one morning for an event but leaving early with a small group of fellow posters and went over to the Magic Kingdom for lunch at Columbia Harbour House and a ride through The Haunted Mansion.

For many of us, including myself, it's not often that a diehard Disney fan has the opportunity to tour the parks with likeminded people. For a weekend next October, you will have that chance.

Just a slight correction. The Grand Floridian Tea was one of the formally organized events planned by the Intercot staff, as I was one of the moderator organizers. If the dates align, I'm more than willing to deal with the Grand Floridian planning staff to have this event again as many people enjoyed it.

Thanks for letting me know Christine, I had it in my mind that it was informal. I would love to join in this year as I have really enjoyed previous tea experiences at the GF!

There seem to be a number of us with 'tweens and younger teens ... I'm sure we can put something together for them. (My DD has already asked if she can "coordinate a kids meet")!

That would be wonderful. Let me know if you need any help.

This doesn't apply to me at all, but I think this is a fantastic idea.

The dessert party and Illuminations viewing party was wonderful! I still have my light- up Intercot card and tshirt

I've only been a member here a very short time, but I'm really looking forward to this.

I'm actually really considering taking a short break and coming to this one. I love the idea of the teen meet. My DS is 14 he would love this.

And side bar... Am I really the third Cassi in a row to post on this thread? Weird, growing up no one had that name!

[Disney4us2]

Whooooohoooo I am so glad to know what the dates are.

Just looking at my calendar. Planning on being there the 21st to the 30th.

Let the planning begin..
