Southern California (& Disneyland): Backstage Magic Meets Thread

All booked for June 21-26!!! Very excited for this tour! This will be our mini reunion as our group met when we did the international program at WDW(Canada pavilion- Epcot)several years ago. We have a group of 4, we usually try to meet up for a regular WDW or DL trip every 1-2 years but this year decided to step it up with this ABD.

Welcome to the DISBoards and the ABD Forum! And congrats on booking your ABD! Sounds like a great way to do a reunion! I've added you to the Roll Call on the first post of this thread. Looks like you're going to be on the same departure as fellow DISers Jax1970 & kris10399!

Hi Linzj!

I'm Jackie - Hubby Paul and I will be on the same trip as you and your group. Can't wait to meet you all, and share our adventure with you! We're from the UK, and it's a surprise trip for Paul for his 50th birthday. He doesn't have a clue what I have planned!

Hi, my family and I are booked for the 6/21/2015 trip! This will be our first ABD trip but not the first trip to DLR for the family.
Kris (me), Rik (the hubs), Theresa (11) and Nate (7)
Hoping there will be some kids their age on this one!


Hi Kris, Rik, Theresa and Nate,

DH Paul and I will be on the trip with you in June, visiting from the UK. It's our first ABD too - I'm so excited - even more so as I can't share with Paul yet as it's his surprise 50th birthday present!

We've never been to Disneyland before (although we are WDW regulars), so we'll be staying on for a few extra days after the tour, and we're visiting San Francsico, Yosemite and driving down the PCH before we meet up with you in Hollywood.

Looking forward to getting to know you all on our adventure!

Jackie
 


Hello! Due to some schedule conflicts, we have switched our trip to the June 28, 2015 departure!
 


We have just signed up for Jan 24-29, 2016 Backstage Magic :)

Silly Question, I think I know the answer to this but want to be sure. For the Backstage Magic tour, do you dress up for the group dinners? I'm thinking no, but I'm having bad dreams of showing up under dressed and just wanted to be sure.
 
Do you mean as a part of the ABD, or just in general at DL?

Sayhello
ABD... I have been reading the Disneyland posts...very excited...I am hoping we will get reserved viewing for the new night parade. Also wondering if there will be a Halloween party, and if that I'll be included...lots of questions and time will tell what will be different this year...

I just did not know if anyone had heard about anything yet! I am hoping someone who is going to the May and June ABD southern CA will let us know just a few teasers when they come home!

It's pretty informal. At most, people would change to pants and a nice shirt particularly for the last night (Carthay Circle for us). Other ABDs I've been on did have a night people could elect to dress up a bit. BSM didn't really have that.

Thank you! That is kind of what I was thinking. I'm guessing the last two cruises have rubbed off on me, to even make me about that!
 
I did Backstage Magic in February 2015. We were on the Adult Exclusive trip that ran Feb 15-20. Had a fantastic time and can answer questions about doing this trip without kids!
 
Hi

Have just PIF for our ABD Backstage Magic on 16th August. IT is an adult only trip and will be my husband (Giles) and me to celebrate my 50th bday which is in July. We are then heading over to Florida to meet my sister and her family and do a 7 day cruise on the Fantasy - very excited!
we are from the UK and have done many cruises and visits to WDW but this is our first ABD

Hi Lorraine, let me know if you have any questions about your trip. I did the Adult Exclusive this past February.
