MousePlanet.com "birthday" party and Mini MouseAdventure

**AVP** · 05-17-2009, 06:08 PM

This information will be in tomorrow's Disneyland Resort Update, but I wanted to give MousePad members a little advance warning:

Come celebrate the 9th anniversary of your favorite Disney Web site with lunch at the Big Thunder Ranch Celebration Roundup & Barbecue on Saturday, July 18. MousePlanet has booked the first (11:30 a.m.) seating of the BBQ for a special gathering of MP staff and readers.

Space is very limited, and advance reservation is required. To reserve your spot, please send an e-mail to me using this special link. (So I can keep everything organized, please don't use PMs or e-mail to my usual account).

Tickets are $34 for adults, and $11.50 for children age 3-9. (Tax, tip and AP discount are included.) Pre-payment is required, preferably via PayPal, and I'll reply to your e-mail with futher instructions.

For those who can't make it to lunch, copies of a Mini MouseAdventure will be available at a MousePlanet meet at the Plaza Pavillion at 2:00 p.m. This just-for-fun activity is designed to give you a small sample of MouseAdventure quests. Any remaining copies of the Mini MouseAdventure will be available at the NFFC Strictly Disneyana Show and Sale on Sunday, July 19th.

See you there!

We were a little late to get in with the group, but we will be there on our own ressie!! Our appointed time is 1140am. We won't be too hard to spot, MDM will have the dog and I will be busy trying to keep MDM from running away from strange, new people.

There's still room if you want to sit with us! We filled the initial block, but they said we can add more and I've been accepting more people all along.

**adriennek** · 07-18-2009, 04:07 PM

Yeah!! It was a fun party!!

I started to name everyone I said Hi to and I deleted it all because I didn't want to leave anyone out (or annoy anyone as the case may be...)

Thanks to all who came, it was a lot of fun (even when AVP dragged me and Joe up the river with her to Yodel.)

And I will call out DisneylandDad who did not get to verify that there are, yes, two Adriennes but he did confirm that there is an Adrienne and a Jennifer.

Adrienne

**Malcon10t** · 07-18-2009, 04:47 PM

It was GREAT!!! We were there, dog in tow. Thanks to everyone who helped put this on for us.

And the Adriennes can yodel! (And Joe can too!!!!)

**Toocherie** · 07-18-2009, 06:14 PM

Yes, it was a fun time. One never knows what talents MousePadders have until you attend events like this!

Glad to see some familiar faces and meet new ones!

Tinkermommy · 07-18-2009, 07:22 PM

We had a great time today! It's always nice to put faces to MP names (even though I'm terrible at remembering them). What a fun, friendly and FUNNY group!

Thanks for going to all that trouble, and for the MP gifts -- that was very kind, and completely unexpected.

My daughter said, "They should do more MousePlanet gatherings." I'm just sayin'. She liked you people!

**Toocherie** · 07-18-2009, 08:29 PM

I think your daughter is a very smart cookie!

ncsmith4 · 07-18-2009, 10:13 PM

Thank you MP Staff for the Mini MouseAdventure. I didnt get a chance to go to the lunch, but the MouseAdventure was a really fun little present. LOVED it! Adrienne, my friend and I were the ones that suggest you autograph the buttons, haha. AAAAAnd the ones who came back with that math business.

Anyway, thanks for a fun time.

As for the answers, can anyone tell me if the following is correct?

Spoiler:

FISHY LISTS: 1lb
(I *believe* there was a typo on "Red Trolly." The beer is spelled "Red Trolley."

SOUVENIR SHOPPING THE HARD WAY: 20 boxes

IMPOSSIBLE EYE SPYS: Couldnt find ANY of them. But we stopped after everything else for dinner and drinks and then it was too dark. Maybe Ill try it tomorrow...

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Alice & The White Rabbit
(Ok, so those damn posters. Where are there EIGHT former attraction posters? We counted ten posters total in Pizza Port. Autopia still exists, and two others DONT say "Tomorrowland." Thoughts???)
