I was wondering who was posting this! Glad to see my teammate is on top of things!!

This is what was posted in the MAWE3 recap:

Our next events

MouseAdventure is currently planning three events in 2012, though dates and details are still being worked out among the crew and with Disney. We will post event and registration dates as soon as we confirm them, but those announcements may be as little as 90 days before the event. We do hope to return to Walt Disney World next fall for our fourth MouseAdventure World Explorers event, and we can definitely use your help to spread the word to prospective new Walt Disney World players. We absolutely love writing games for Walt Disney World, but we need to grow the Florida event to make it more affordable for our Troops. If you have friends, family, or co-workers who are Disney fans, tell them about MouseAdventure and encourage them to come out for an event!

Spring 2012 – Disneyland Resort
Fall 2012 – Disneyland Resort
Fall 2012 – Walt Disney World

We also plan to continue our Coast to Coast challenge for 2012. Eligibility requirements will be provided prior to the start of registration for the Spring 2012 Disneyland event, but interested teams should plan to register for both the Spring Disneyland event and the Fall Walt Disney World Event.

Keep reading MousePlanet for more information about our upcoming events—we post MouseAdventure updates in our weekly Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Updates, as well as on the front page of our site. We also strongly encourage you to sign up for our MouseAdventure mailing list to receive updates about future events as they are announced. Note: This is an opt-in only mailing list, which means that we have not already added the names of former MouseAdventure players to this list. If you would like to receive these updates, you will need to sign up for the list.

It's been 11 days, and no one's had time to answer me?

I love the game, and promote to all fans that I see. I'm not active on the board, but am a loyal fan.

I guess it's safe to assume that you have no clue what you are doing next spring yet or when you will know.

I hope you all have a blessed holiday, and look forward to when you are available to let us know.

[stan4d_steph]

Sorry we haven't answered. Unfortunately, we don't have a signed contract with Disneyland yet so we can't give you a date yet. As soon as we have a contract, we will let everyone know.

If you're a subscriber to the MA newsletter, you should have gotten an email today with the announcement of the upcoming dates for Spring 2012. Competitive will be on March 11, and Day at the Park will be on March 25. Further details to come in January!

Or the theme?? We need to get our shirts designed!

[Janis and Aaron]

I've been checking back daily because, this close in, we're probably going to have little notice before registration opens. I'm on pins and needles just waiting for the announcement!

[tinksmygirl]

Me too!! Team Canaduck is ready to roll!!

[SunolMouse]

I'm wondering if maybe I missed something:
Perhaps the first quest is to figure out when and how to register!
52 days and counting...

[Nikara]

It now looks certain that I'll be home for spring break this year, and that coincides with the Day at the Park event! Woot! I get to Adventure again!

That's great, Nikara! I know MA is something I would miss a ton if we ever moved away.

Hi all!!! Longtime lurker and this is the first time I have considered doing MouseAdventure: so excited!!!! I have a couple of questions that weren't really answered by the MA sections on the site and hoped someone on the thread would help me. What has been the most recent price? I assumed the price for a team would increase as the years went on and popularity of the event increased but I couldn't find anything about the recent events' pricing. Is there a limit of how many teams may participate in the Basic quests? If so, how quickly do those registration spots go? How many people are allowed per team? In the pictures, I see mostly teams of 4; are there teams of 2 allowed?


Thank you for all of your help!!!

[AVP]

What has been the most recent price?

It depends on the event, the division, the number of days... I'm not trying to be vague, but there are a lot of factors. I think the last "normal" Basic event was around $130-ish.

Is there a limit of how many teams may participate in the Basic quests?

Yes, but that varies by the event and format.

If so, how quickly do those registration spots go?

Again, it varies based on event and capacity, but the fastest sellout was 44 minutes.

How many people are allowed per team? In the pictures, I see mostly teams of 4; are there teams of 2 allowed?

Yes, your team can be 2, 3 or 4 people. We don't allow single-player teams, or teams of 5 or more.

[Janis and Aaron]

If so, how quickly do those registration spots go?

Seriously consider designating someone to register the minute registration opens. That may mean going in late to work, waking up early, etc. because registration usually opens around 8 AM or 9 AM (which may vary - I'm not sure because I've already left for work by then and someone else registers our team each time). When we first started playing a few years ago, Basic registration didn't sell out for a couple of days. Now it's just a couple of hours (or even less, as Adrienne pointed out). MouseAdventure is definitely something I would highly recommend, so I'd say it's worth the trouble and expense to register! It's not going to be to everyone's taste, but you may just find a new favorite pastime.

A few suggestions to make your experience run smoothly:
1) Make sure the person registering your team knows all of the information that will be needed (each team member's name and e-mail, who's going to be designated the team leader, do you want to pay a little extra for personalized pins if available, method of payment - I think that's everything).
2) If you have annual passes, make sure you are not blocked on the date of MouseAdventure, because Disney admission is not included in the game price.
3) Read recaps for past MouseAdventures, just to get a taste of how difficult trivia is, common mistakes for teams, recurring quest formats, etc.
4) Go to the stickies for MouseAdventure Team Tips and MouseAdventure Toolkit, because there are some things teams have found helpful to bring that you just wouldn't expect (like tape, or rulers, or page protectors).

Hope to see you there!

Thank you so much for the answers!!! I do have a couple more questions (Sorry!!). Will we have the pricing and the timeline for the day before registration starts? I only ask because my friend that I am trying to convince to do this and I are very poor teachers and money is def an issue for us. The other question I have is will we be at a disadvantage if we have less than 4 members for our team? Is it allowed on the site to advertise for spots on our team?

Thank you!

[AVP]

Will we have the pricing and the timeline for the day before registration starts?

We *hope* to have pricing and format info very, very shortly, but definitely at least 10 days before registration opens. The final schedule is generally not released until right before the event.

will we be at a disadvantage if we have less than 4 members for our team?

Some teams feel that they are at a disadvantage with MORE than 2 players. Of our Masters teams (those who won 3 or more events, and are now "retired" from competition), one was a 2-player team, three were 3-player teams, and two were 4-player teams.

Is it allowed on the site to advertise for spots on our team?

Yes. We usually have a "teams seeking players and players seeking teams" thread while registration is open. However, we do not let you add players to your team after registration has closed - it's always best to have your team formed and finalized BEFORE you register.

MouseAdventure: Card Games - are you ready to deal?

A brand new game in a brand new format, we are proud to present our Spring 2012 event: MouseAdventure Card Games! This March, Alex returns to MouseAdventure with a few new (card) tricks up his sleeve. Whether you've played every game since 2000 or are forming a team for your very first Adventure, there's a division that will suit you just right!

Sunday, March 11 - Basic Division
Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney

MouseAdventure Card Games will deal you a series of quests and challenges to be solved throughout Disneyland and Downtown Disney. The Basic division is a competitive event, with prizes going to the best new, returning and family teams.

Registration for the Basic Division is $120 per team, and includes admission to the post-event Award Ceremony. Each player will need admission to Disneyland on Sunday, March 11. MouseAdventure registration does not include theme park admission.

Sunday, March 11 - Advanced Division
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Parks

If you crave even more MouseAdventure, register for the Advanced division and try your hand at all of the Basic Division quests, many at a more difficult level,plus a few challenges inside Disney California Adventure Park. Prizes are awarded to the best new and returning teams.

Registration for the Advanced Division is $140 per team, and includes admission to the post-event Award Ceremony. Each player will need admission to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on Sunday, March 11. MouseAdventure registration does not include theme park admission.

Sunday, March 25 - Day at the Park Division
Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney

Two weeks later, we will run the game again for brand-new teams who just want to get an idea of what this MouseAdventure thing is all about, and for returning teams that wish to play without the stress of competition. Day at the Park teams will solve most of the same quests as the Basic division event, though some elements may be modified or omitted.
Teams play only for bragging rights, and there is no post-event Award Ceremony: results will be posted on the Web site about a week after the event. The MouseAdventure Day at the Park event features an extended sign-in period with a pre-game new player orientation session. Teams can also participate in a team T-shirt competition before the main event begins.

Registration for the Day at the Park Division is $75 per team. Each player will need admission to Disneyland Park on Sunday, March 25. MouseAdventure registration does not include theme park admission.

Registration for all divisions will open at 9am Pacific Time on Tuesday, January 31 online at www.mouseadventure.com.

Registration will close on February 24, or whenever the division sells out. Space for each division is extremely limited. Players must be at least 6 years of age and one player on each team must be at least 18 years of age.
More information about MouseAdventure can be found at www.mouseadventure.com. Be sure to sign up for our MouseAdventure Newsletter for the most recent updates. Find us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for your chance to win MouseAdventure prizes.
