I don't think I can swing this one since I'm taking time off for D23. We'll see.

 

I’m definitely going. But early August? Man, it will be sooooo hot!

 

I want to go but it will depend on my school's calendar and my position next school year. My sisters say they are going.

 

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to use the majority of my PTO for that trip and this is the weekend before I leave. I'll probably still attend whatever outside events I can, but unless I can take a personal leave of absence for three weeks and swing it as moving time, I won't be able to attend the event.

 

We hope to attend. Trade Texas heat for Florida - seems about even.

 

Can’t be much worse than the end of August like it’s been, right?

I’m pretty much set on going. It’s too bad that I don’t have that Friday off. Oh well!

Can’t wait to see the pins!!

I'm glad it's the 2nd weekend in August and not the 1st weekend. Now I can definitely go.

 

I have a reservation at Pop... hoping I can swing it.

I want to but not sure if I can go yet!

 

I will be going.

 

Just need to wait to payday to put down a deposit. Thinking of doing a week starting with the Thursday of the event and staying at Art of Animation.

 

As of right now planning on attending. I collect too many characters with tails... looking forward to it already!

Cannot wait for the pin catalog to be announced!

 

Looks good for me to attend as of now. Weather - it's HOT in Florida from late May through mid-October so whether its in August or September really doesn't matter. However, this early date knocks out any MNSSHP trips.

 

I’ll be there!!! This will be my first event since “The Florida Project” I’m so excited!

I will be there. This should be a lot of fun.

I just cancelled my Beach Club reservation for Aug 15-18 and rebooked at the Yacht Club from Aug 8-11.

 

Scratch what I said earlier. I checked my bank account and my tax return came in a few days ago, so I went ahead and booked my hotel and park tickets. I'll have until July to cancel for a refund, in case anything comes up and I'm unable to go.

I'll be staying at the Art of Animation (I was tempted to do All-Star Movies since it's the cheapest, but I've already stayed there and wanted something new. Plus maybe if I ask nicely enough they'll let me poke my head into the Lion King suite?) from the 8th to the 15th. I decided to do my parks days after the trade event this time; that way I can do the trading when I'm fresh and not after a week of walking myself into the ground, then I can use Sunday to rest up if I need to before a few days of parks fun.

 

Well, you have a point there. It was super hot last year. But I think early August is even worse than late August. Plus I'm pretty sure the park crowds will be bigger as it is more in the height of the summer vacation rush. I think I am going to go strictly for the event and not do any vacationing around it.

 

Why so early in August?

 

Food and Wine bumped us from prior Septemberish dates to late August. D23 bumping us from late August to early.
