WHAT
IS MOUSEFEST?
Walt
Disney once said, "All our dreams can come true, if we have
the courage to pursue them."
MouseFest,
a gathering of hundreds of Internet community members at Walt Disney
World, is a real-life example of Walt's quote.
For
a number of years, there has been ever-growing annual holiday gatherings
in Orlando of Disney Internet fans connected through Disney-related
websites and message boards in Walt Disney World to share their
love of the Most Magical Place on Earth.
So,
imagine if you can a gathering that encompasses ALL these groups...
a gathering that unites the enormous family of Disney enthusiasts
from all walks of life, from all backgrounds, from all over the
country, from all over the globe! Imagine all of these people convening
at Walt Disney World for a 4 Night Disney cruise, followed by several
days of fun and merriment, special meals, events, and an all-round
spirit of Mickey Mania!
In
2003 and 2004, hundreds of Disney fans from all over the world participated
in the annual MouseFest events. Nearly 200 folks cruised
on the 2nd annual MouseFest Cruise. In addition, more than
20 unofficial Disney website representatives and unofficial
WDW guidebook authors attended a variety of get-togethers throughout
the week, most notably the huge MegaMouse Meet held Saturday,
December 6. More than 400 Disney-lovers stopped in at the MegaMouse
Meet, visiting with the webmasters and authors they have read
for years, as well as meeting up with others just like them from
other Internet communities, many meeting in person for the first
time friends they had made in cyberspace.
Now
you've seen a glimpse of MouseFest!
And
guess what?
YOU'RE
INVITED!!!
That's right -- Everyone is invited! In general, there
are no limits on who can join the events, and no age requirements!
(Of course, certain events do require tickets or deposits, may have
capacity restrictions, or may not be of interest to young children.)
It
may sound like an ambitious project, but we believe it's a worthwhile
one! Just who all, you might be wondering, is "WE"?
AllEarsNet® Founder Deb Wills, and PassPorter
authors Jennifer and Dave Marx, and many others, met at MouseFest
2003-2005 and had such a wonderful time, they've decided to
pull all these diverse groups together again to co-celebrate the
holiday season and our love of things Disney at our very favorite
Laughing Place!
