OK, it has taken a while to get the ball rolling, but we now have a set plan.

We will decend on Walt Disney World on November 4th.

4th: We will use this day to get checked in, and meet up in our own Disney parking lot for our group-up. I figured we could check in early, get our stuff unpacked and then head over to the parking lot. I have spoken with Euro Style East, as well as Cooper Flags, and MINI Mania, and they are all (as well as others) interested in meeting there to display products or sponsoring the event. We can spend the rest of the day meeting each other and go to dinner together and drive a strech of Orlando road together. We are working on T-shirts, as well as a DVD of the whole event.

5th: This will be our Epcot day. Now, I have spoken to the Disney Conventions people and they said we can get a group rate for tickets if we have over ten. I asked if we could have park hopper tickets so we can go to other parks each day. This way if you wanted to go to MGM, Magickingdom, or Animal Kingdom, you would be able to.

6th: This would be our Magickingdom day. It seems as if we could do a brunch on our own and then meet back at the hotel for a farwell party. If you wanted to stay at the park of course that would be fine.

Now I figured we would come in early friday, stay friday night, stay saturday night, and leave late sunday. Now, the price I was able to get was $59.00 a night (not including tax %.7) for the "All star resort." They say they do have king queen beds avalible in some rooms, so you may want to ask when you book. Now, to get the booking I must get ten people to book rooms with me. By this I mean send the money to me, whether on Paypal (mickeyminiwdw@gmail.com), or by check or money order. If I can get 10 people, then we can book them, and others will be able to call in and book with the "Mickey & MINI meet." I also have planned on broadcasting the whole event live over the net for other NAM members and others to view if they wished.

The sponors I mentioned above said that they would like to help pay for some, so we may be able to get the parking lot area payed for by sponorship. Now, I need to know hoe many people would be interested in coming for this event that we hope to become an annual thing. I have the support of Sndwave, and MINIclo. they are both helping me with this and I look forward to makeing this event a wonderful one. If you have any comments please feel free to post them. I am working with Disney to get a logo that is acceptible by both MINI and Disney (MINI said to please use their logo, it's really just disney Im working on ) And when this has been worked out, I will release printable posters we can use at dealerships, other events (dragon) and MINI car stores. I hope to hear from many of you and look forward to making this event awsome!

 

I'm in. www.sunshineminis.org is back up so you might want to post over there as well.

 

right on, will post ASAP.!

 

Checkerboy87.
I'd like to come also but don't need a room. What might the charges be for someone that doesn't need a room? (We're 8 miles from property).

Thanks for doing this,
keith

 

As of now, if the sponsors cover the parking lot (which I think they will) then there will be no Convention fee, unless we do something for the tsunami relief.

 

Checksie, What if instead of the mouse ears on the MINI wings logo you made them look a bit more like tires/wheels? Just a thought.....

Let us know where/when to begin placing deposits. Do we need to pre-pay for the two nights or just pay for one night? :smile:

im going. replied on ssm also

 

Sounds like a lot of fun... I could possibly be interested :smile: Is there any reason this isn't being posted elsewhere: ie. MINI Talk ? This is the first I have heard of it

 

WMU, it's been conceived as a National Event, therefore, it is in the National Event forum! It may draw MINIacs from all over the States! Glad you bumped it!

Yo!, It's been a while, but I think we are ready to go. Now, If you are still interested, post here. Just call Disney --: 407-934-7639 to make a room reservation. Now it's a low period in their booking so we should be able to get in with little problems. Anyone one still want to do this?

 

You bet, Checksie! I figured you'd lay low until after the Dragon! Be sure to post on SunshineMINIs.org, too!

What about the group discount rate? Is there a special code name to give Disney so we can get a good rate?

Let us know!


Clover

 

OK Well just got back from Ferman MINI. They want to sponsor the whole event! They want to have a tick off Bar-B-Q lunch on friday Nov. 4th at the dealership, and then do a rally over to Orlando! They want to help with the whole thing! They said they would setup a booth, and provide finicial assistance for the meeting areas at Disney. I can't waite this is going to rock! I will work out the details and start a website for it, and then I will release a poster over the net that can be printed to post everywhere.

Is there some people that would be interested in advertising atDragon? MINIclo said she would so we could use a few people with posters and such. Once I get all the details about rooms rates and such figured out (Disney is calling me back) then I will post EVERYTHING! Thanks!

 

Here is the offical site for the event...

The wife and I might be able to make this one..but it's a little far off yet to tell...I'll check back in the summer in this thread to let you all know...would be great to meet most of you from across the states since sadly I can't make it to MOTD...but looking forward to Fall of the Dragon if it's happening again this year.

What a great ride this would be all the way down interstate 95 from VA to FL in the MINI 12 hours of sheer happiness

Dave.

 

I would love to be able to make this. We would be coming from SC.

It's still a go! Will update with more info soon!

 

:smile: Hi, Ryland! I'm not going to make it to the Mickey & MINI Meet, after all.... I am scheduled for a 4-person art exhibit that runs through those dates, so I must be in Los Angeles whilst y'all have fun in Orlando.:smile:

Clover

 

Well, sorry to hear that! I still hope every one is interested!

 

haven't heard about this before now - but i am pretty sure i'd like to go - i've never been to disneyworld sad, i know, but my dad was cheap i'm about to check out the link and see what's going on - this won't interfere with fall on the dragon right?

 

Website updated!..

We maybe going as well. The time of the year sounds right for a "Mini" Disney vacation (Not too hot or freezing cold). We haven't been to WDW in over 2 years, so the idea of MINIs + Mickey sounds like wicked fun!


Please keep us posted.

 

Right on! and it's an "off" time for Disney so there won't be many people there!

 

how far in advance would we need to book a room to get that group rate of $59 a night?

 

We will stick with the first date! Check the site, I put everything in there! Old Town has givin us plenty of space to have our cars! Read more...

The Epcot food and Wine festival still goes through that weekend and we would still have time to have a rally and meet at the parks and such. If this is cool Email me and let me know. Thanks!- mickeyminiwdw@gmail.com

After We get an ok and I get the 2 night rooms deposit from 10 people, we can all book into it. Thanks!

 

WAY Motor Works will be there. I will be staying with friends down the road, but will join in all the events as possible. It's a good chance to get away from the Cold Indiana weather.
