Celebration 2009 - Museum of Pintiquities (Photo Report)
Roger55 is back with another great event report
full of photos - this time from the Disney Pintiquities event
held at Epcot.
IDEA:
Events 'Year' Calendar and 12-month Signup
Thinking about D23, KevinYee came up with a new idea, and would
like your feedback: ...would you like it if D23 offered a full view of the calendar
year (say, 2010) all at once, showing you all of the events
you can sign up for...but their way of making sure everyone
gets a tour of the archives or Walt's apartment or movie screening
(or whatever) is to limit you to going to JUST ONE event all
year...?'
