Let us know when you get the Group Name so we can go ahead and make reservations. We really enjoyed last years event and are definately looking forward to this one in September! Anyone else from the Panhandle planning to attend? (Carpool)

I so want to do this in September. Please keep me up dated on the events as they onfold.

We are currently seeking sponsorship now and hope to have the final cost and events ready to annouce by mid-May if all goes as planned. We do have the date in stone and the hotel will be the same as last year, the Embassy Suites!!

Sounds like fun, let me know what the cost ends up being;)

Sounds like a good time. Count us in...
I worked at Disney as a diver when I was younger. I wonder if there is anyone there that would remember me?
I know I wouldn't fit in one of their skimpy uniforms now...

What is the address to the Embassy Suites?
And do we mention a group name or are the rates whatever you can get?

[snooter]

we have a group rate of $89.00 and will have a link to get the rate on the website in about a month. I will post here when we have more details!!

This event rocks. Last year we had such a good time. It is well organized, and an overall joy to attend. Stay tuned for the people in the Carolinas, I will be adding this event as a stickey in the M2C2 forum to help people find it, and keep up with any changing information..
I cannot wait.. now where did I put my blinking mickey ears?!
