Lou... 3,118 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've actually worked this event many times for an outside events staffing company. It's a big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 On the FAQ page: That's not much info on such a major event for the attendees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 That's not much info on such a major event for the attendees. The attendees, as part of the cost they paid for the weeklong event, were promised an "special evening event" at a Disney theme park. The company probably left it vague for a reason.
