    I'll plead ignorant to what the WDW Today is...as I'm really not part of any other Disney groups. ; So I don't know how all-encompassing their events are during the days and how it would impact Pixelmania. ; However, just a curious question: ; Since before Pixelmania, TMIP had 2 years at Mousefest, where lots of other groups were doing events/walks/meets, would it really be that hard to work out schedules with the other groups in a way that works well for all? ; And maybe with a little overlap here and there, like at Mousefest?

    Just wondering. ; I'd only be going to TMIP events myself. ; Even when it was part of Mousefest, I never even registered for Mousefest...I was there only for TMIP. ; So I have little experience in trying to hit different gatherings from different groups in the same weekend.

    WDW Today is a podcast, found at www.wdwtoday.com. ; They have a fairly large following and, like most other Mousefest veterans, wanted to continue the fun of a December gathering. ; Their meet schedule (reunion.wdwtoday.com) was similar to that of Pixelmania - just a few meets every day with plenty of time between them. ; But those gaps were quickly filled with either impromptu meets or, in my case, meets organized by other groups.

    Just for fun, I dug out my Mousefest schedule from 2008. ; There frequently were two or three simultaneous meets. ; At times it was very difficult to pick which one to attend.

    We all saw how dynamic the Pixelmania schedule became. ; Can you imaging trying to keep up with that as well as attend other meets? ; I don't think I would have to discipline to do it.


    That's one advantage to not sharing a room.

    Ah memories of Mousefest... early mornings, super late nights (even later if you were a webmaster, blogger, or podcaster because you spent a hour or so at night working), wonky temps, not spending a lot of quality time getting to know people, lots of park hopping, little food. You were almost guaranteed to be sick when you got home.

    WDW Reunion and Pixelmania - same group of people, a lot more bonding time, staying in one park the whole day, meals, more relaxed.

    Makes sense...glad for the explanation. ; My version of Mousefest was pretty much the same as Pixelmania - I was soloing, had my own place, ran my own relaxed schedule, and whenever TMIP had something going on, I showed up. ; Afterwards, if nothing else was organized, I was on my own to relax and enjoy again. ; So it never seemed any different to me!

    However, in hindsight, I do remember Tim getting a certain 'glazed' look by day 2, and by day 3 looking not unlike a zombie...so I guess the Mousefest schedule ran him a bit ragged! ; Pixelmania, I think Tim only reached the glazed look...I never saw full zombie.

    Well, I am going the week after Thanksgiving no matter what (Like I said before vacation has been set). ; If it works out... Great. ; If not, well that's they way the cookie crumbles (unless it is one of those Bite Size cookies you can eat in one bite).

    Well, if you all settle on a date, I'll try and get my lovely Mrs to agree to let me desert her and the fam for a weekend of Pixelmania -- I just never get to spend as much time as I'd like focusing on photography -- pun intended.

    Regards,

    Boris

    So a power outage and subsequent Emergency Response I got to test the 4 Point Star Filter on the Camera tonight. ; The weird thing is how angle made a big difference. ; Shooting the Fire Truck from one spot allowed the Point Strips to be seen completely, but moving 5 feet to the left only left the Light Stars. ; Anyway, here is the best shot. ; Can't wait to use this on Main Street!

    Hey I have no shame for passing out like that. ; I can do that anytime and anywhere. ; It is part of the job, (EMS = Earn Money Sleeping! ;)) ; As for a second coming of Pixelmania! ; I am all for it, and I will pass out again, BUT that also allowed me to carry through the rest of the trip. ; Bring it on! ; I'm ready for Round 2! ; How about you Tim? ;)
