ºoº Last year was a lot fun to actually see all the different Founders of all the great Disney web sites and all the authors of the great Disney books.

ºoº Also to meet everyone that you see on the different web sites in person at the different Walt Disney World Parks.

ºoº Here is a tenative list of all the things that are going on at the 2004 Mousefest. I'll update them as more information comes out.

If you have two free hours on Saturday afternoon on December 11, 2004 from one to three, then try to come to the Mega-Mousefest meet at the Swan Resort. It is free (as are most of the meets), and here is a tentative list and schedule of all those Disney Disney website founders and Disney authors that will be there for you to meet. It was great last year with over 300 Disney loving people at the Mega-Mouse Meet alone. So come to this once in a lifetime event.

But don't worry. Most meets only have 10 to 20 people each. And last year their were only about a 100 at the MVMCP out of a possible 20,000 MVMCP tickets sold.

Everyone from different web sites try to come to the Mousefest Mega-Mouse Meet at the Swan Resort on Saturday, December 11, 2004. Last year we had 300. Let's make a list of DISers that may come.
