Hubby and I got our tickets too and will be there! We have the 430 seating and are doing the Princess 5K! We are both trying to raise $500 for Deb Wills Avon Breast Cancer Walk! So its going to be an exciting time! We arrive Wed AM and Leave Monday AM!
I am trying not to get my hopes up about the fact that the party is on the 5th which is the same day Alice is released which makes me wonder "HMMMM"
Look forward to this soooo much!
I cant wait Its getting close! :yahoo:
Here's some info of what the weather may look like from 3/3 to 3/9. This is one of my favorite sites to look at before any of my trips.

Getting super excited!!! It would be so sweet if they do something related to the Alice in Wonderland release that day.
That would be cool!Quote:

Saw all those Legends and Imagineers reportedly going to the DL event on the D23 Facebook page yesterday. I sent them a message basically stating that I hoped there will some cool people coming to the WDW event as well.
I wonder if they have ramped up the excitement for the DL event because it hasn't sold out yet?
I think so too - did anyone else get the surprise gift yet? Fed Ex just delivered a beautiful D23 pin with Tinkerbell and "1" - guess it's because I renewed my membership?
One more week-yeah!

Yeah, I am assuming because Disneyland was the 'original' and because it hasnt sold out, that's why they are announcing all the guest speakers.
Do you all want to try and meet up sometime during the party? I could try and get Lou to meet up at a certain place and certain time. Like maybe during the dessert party time?
Sweet! I just got my upgrade confirmation on my flight out to WDW. That 4+ hours should go a lot easier now.
Hi Mary Jo,
That would be awesome to have an impromptu meet! Is this for the WDW event or DL event? I'm going to both so will be happy to meet up at either park!
