Tried to join, GroupMe doesn't accept my phone number. It also doesn't have Google login...

Congratulations to everyone that got a Registration. I want to believe, I speak for all who aren't attending in saying, "we'll be looking forward to hear all about your experiences!"

We managed to get tickets for the four of us( Wife, Son, Son-in-law and myself), so hopefully see a few of you there.

Thanks all for the advice on getting the tickets, it was an event in itself(and a tad stressful)

 

[firechief18]

This will be my first time going, what do I bring?

A BIG Smile & a friendly, "let's have FUN we're at Disney" attitude

A water bottle

AUTHENTIC pins for the Trade Boards

As many pins bags/binders as you can fit in a 24" tall rolling suitcase or carry in a backpack for Trading. I suggest the suitcase as carrying pin bags around for 2 days will wear you out. People also use rolling ice chests, craft bins, file carts, tool boxes as long as they fit the 24"×15"×18" dimensions (not including the handle).

AND Tigger & Cinderella pins to trade to me!

 

[firechief18]

Awesome thank you

I also suggest protein bars and/or snacks to keep your energy up and reduce the number of times you have to take a break to go get some food.

Not going this year. Still dealing with some medical issues and standing in line for a long time to trade is hard on my back. Hope to see some pin friends during the Event period to say hello. Hope everyone has a great time and post anything that you find out about the hobby or theme for next year.

I will be bringing my Zuca. I have owned it for 5+ years. I bought it specifically for the WDW event, but due to the pandemic and a couple of one-off situations it has never been to an event. So very excited to bring pins in my zuca.

A zuca is luggage one can sit on. Cast members do not allow floor sitting while in line, but seem to have no problem with luggage sitting. Luggage one can sit on is beneficial. Carry pins and a stool all in one.

Note Zucas are not cheap. I bought mine during a 4th of July sale. Another 4th of July sale in 2023 would be perfect if anyone is interested in a Zuca. Will hope for a sale.

2nd hand ones are often cheaper- we got ours from the bay for about 80 shipped- it’s in near perfect condition
