We have two upcoming WDW trips within a month of each other. Both of the trips required several "registrations" of some sort due to our participations in a couple of events.
The first one which I've already mentioned earlier is the trip to attend the Pin Celebration event at Epcot. We will be arriving on Sept. 6 and leaving on Sept. 9. So it will be a rather short trip (we normally stay for a week over the Labor Day week). We completed our Random Selection Process forms to be able to purchase several limited edition pins and pin sets. We will know which pins/pin sets we get to buy around Aug. 25th. I think for this event, there aren't that many pins that we personally would like to collect. There are a few good ones that we definitely want, but want to buy a few others because we know they will be highly collectible for others. So we can use those for trading.
Anyway, now that we know more pin traders around our area due to our involvement in the Windy City Pin Trading club, it will be a fun Pin event this time around, even more so than before.
Our second trip will be in late Sept. into October. We will be leaving on Sept. 29 and come back on Oct. 6. We have already bought the tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party for Oct. 4. So looking forward to that one very much. In addition, we also registered ourselves with the fan-initiated celebration of Epcot's 25th anniversary on Oct. 1st. We have registered for that AND the Illuminations dessert reception on that day. So we hope to be participants in all the activities surrounding this celebration. This fan-based effort has certainly mushroomed into quite an event, and is now recognized by Disney. So I'm definitely hoping for something special for us on that day.
Definitely looking forward to these next 2 trips. Still, beyond that, we're planning on a short trip in late February 2008. It'll be a 3 night/4day trip to celebrate a friend's birthday (we're picking up all the expenses). So that will require even more planning (birthday dinner, cake, etc..). But those things are rather fun to do, so I don't mind.
