Originally Posted By mele Maybe we could squeeze it in. LOL We do need to have a holiday meet (THIS year), though.
Originally Posted By JazzCat The Portland crew is planning a meet on December 30th. We are interested in doing both meets if we can. Only until Sept. 2007 huh? Being as we're all soooooooo good at arranging meets, are you sure we can figure out a day and time? ;p
Originally Posted By TomSawyer I was thinking about going this weekend, but since it's running so long I might wait until next spring when Anna is a little older. If you meet there before then, I'll probably go.
Originally Posted By leemac We managed to get up to Seattle this weekend to see the exhibit. To be honest it isn't worth making an extra-special effort to get there. It is fairly small and your average Disney enthusiast won't learn anything new (it is all pretty high-level stuff). The interactive stuff is good though (including several short films). I was disappointed but I think I had high expectations that this exhibit would be on the size and scale of the Disneyland: Behind the Magic exhibit that the Henry Ford put together. It isn't even close to that. It is also remarkable how little music-related artifacts they had. The exhibit has about 65 pieces and the majority are movie- or merchandise-related. Strange. If anyone is planning on making a special trip I would STRONGLY recommend holding off until the spring as there are two seminars being planned the first from Joe Harrington at WDI (who is very knowledgeable about theme park productions) and Marty Sklar. It would definitely be a high-point to hear either of them speak. Lee

There is always other things going on at the Seattle Center during the holidays that we can check out too! I'll be watching this thread for a date and time.
