Party @ Epcot

What did everyone think of the shindig @ Epcot? I thought it was nice but it was too short. The speeches lasted for a long time, and then Mandy Moore came out... (shes a better blonde) so a lot of people showed up late and rushed the food.... I just wish there was a techno floor, there definitely wasn't. Hah.. the "hhheeeyyyyyyy" 's were pretty %%%% funny too... everyone was yellin and such all together. We're one big team, thats it... hah... I definitely didn't expect Mandy Moore to be there tho.... O, and the fireworks were decent...

-O, and the word of the day is "donk"..... inside joke...

I thought the party was pretty horrible for multiple reasons
1) way too overcrowded
2) everything was closed by the time Mandy's concert was over
3) Dancing at the party just didn't exist oh yeah by the way what was up with all the rap music it was the only music I heard where there was a dance floor but that was too excessive. Worse yet they were stretching soo much that they were playing music that a lot of people have never heard of before. Hopefully the party will get better but next year I'm not planning on going.

It needed lots of work. We were there 1 hour, and by the time your done eating, half had gone by. They never opened the Living Seas (VIP Party) and The Land closed almost immeaditly. Honey was the only one open. Next year, do it on the other side and open Mission: Space and Test Track.

I personally left after 2 of Mandy Moore's songs becuase I didn't enjoy the music that much. Personal opinion, but i though that a lot of people shared it by the mass migration away from the stadium. Also, the HHHEEEEYYY thing was REALLY annoying and even parents noticed that it was. But the food was good and you could see everyone together. It wasn't terrible, but work on it would be good. I think we were all just hyper after sitting 3+ hours.

Epcot party

I thought the party was a lot of fun. I always forget how much fun it is to go on Honey I shrunk the Audience with FIRST people. It is a totally different experience. Granted I would like it if it lasted longer.
What i didn't like was the closing ceremonies. In past years they usually have something good. I would have liked it better if they repeated a closing ceremony from the past instead of have mandy.

You were at the last showing too! I WAS ALSO! That was awsome, up there with riding the Segway and Tapestry of Dreams. I also missed that singer to see Tapestry.

Party

Personally, I thought the Party this year was very horrible. Everyone was to meet up at the Living Seas for Techno, and that was closed down because of the "VIP Party" and then I found out that it was near Honey, I shrunk the audience... and then the people at Disney were telling everyone to go here and we couldn't go there and this is closed and all that.. The Mandy Moore concert should have been like an opening ceremony concert type thing... so that everyone is pumped.. Giving a concert on the final day of competition where everyone is tired and hungry, really isn't a good thing. The Speeches were nice, and yeah, "Everyone's a winner" inside joke, they should have kept it short. It was too long. They went til 8:30, which meant that, that would only give us about 2 hours, if that, to eat and dance and have fun and then go back.. how about making the party longer next time. Last year was much better, and I hope the music is more diverse next time, and not just all Rap.. Don't get me wrong, I love rap, but there are other things out there, like techno, alternative, Pop, Ska/punk, and Latin. I mean just mix it up.. That's all that I have to say.. I just hope that next year it will be better, and they open up all the rides for us!!

Thumbs down

awards cearamony, too long, party too short... need more time to do stuff, the fireworks could of been alot longer, i felt really sorry for those teams that that paid 75$ per person... i wouldn't of paid 5$ for that... need more stuff open to allow us to sprad, to be honest the best part of the pary was when we were leaving and peoiple were shouting and we were all singing on the bus, one of the funniest part was when me and two other members on my team started a "hey-ho" chant while waiting for the bus to the all-star music resort. that's opinion on the whole party

also, mandy moore, what were they thinking?!?!?!?!?!?!

The poll needs an option that conveys more emotion than "needs work" but is not quite so rude as to say "horrible".
I thought it was far too crowded, the food was bad, the music too loud, and there seriously was nothing to do.

I think it would be really cool if next year they just ran the park as usual except for you are only allowed in with a wristband. Personally, i would rather have payed for real food than eaten that...stuff. Also, my team did not have disney passes, so that was the only time we ever got to go into epcot at all...and nothing was even open.

The "hey" thing was pretty annoying...although i thought it was supposed to be "A" as in "eh"...so whenever we heard it, my team responded with "B", to which someone invariably said "C".

Did anyone else feel bad for Mandy? Did anyone at all stay until the end of her concert?

I stuck around until the end of the concert- nothing special. We only stayed until the line at the entrance to Epcot went down. And the party was a tremendous waste of time. The music was bad, the food was subpar, and there was nothing to do. AmyBeth330 had a good point. Just give us the park.

Thumbs down Worst Team Party Ever

Without a doubt, that was the worst team party that we've had yet. I personally was looking forward to a Disney finale at the end of the 2 days of competition, but instead some pre-teen idol was brought out to sing a bunch of pop songs. It was funny watching most of the people completely ignore her and enter into Epcot. The whole bags check thing was completely horrible too; little effort was put into actually checking the bags, and was more just going through the motions, and it held up entrance, and clogged the front of Epcot with people waiting for their friends. We found most food at the beginning to be completely gone, until we got into the Lands building. After we ate (food was good, and the lemonade was a real nice touch this year) a group of us made our normal trip to the hydroponics ride, to be told by a few Disney employees that the ride was now "closed" and only those currently in line were allowed to ride. We left Lands to find everyone being ushered into one general area to watch the fireworks show. The layout was poorly done by Disney, the crowd wasn't handled well in my opinion, and some of their employees just waved wands without actually caring which way they directed people (a couple of our people were directed the wrong way.) The fireworks were decent, and the flaming FIRST sign was awesome, but the show would've been 10x better at Einstein with the lasers, pyrotechnics, and men with stilts like in previous years. -- Just my $.02

I didnt' even get to the party. Right when Mandy came out a bunch of friends and I made our way out as part of the mass migreation. We got the the entrance of Epcot and determined we were all soaked and wanted to get some dry clothes on before getting to the party. We hop a bus to our hotel, get some dry clothes on, and wait at the bus station. First bus comes by, with "special" in the marquee. A bunch of FIRST people come off, we attempt to board, only to recieve "I'm sorry, I can't bring you to Epcot, it's closed" to which we reply "but we're part of the reason it's closed." They say "Well, I can't bring you there" after which closing the door and driving away. Next bus comes by, same deal. "Umm... you'll have to wait for the "Epcot" bus, they'll bring you there." Next bus says Epcot: "Nope. (with a very corny smile) "I'm not going back to Epcot *click*(turns off the marquee, drives away.)" Next bus comes by, "We're not providing transportation TO the FIRST or Grad events, you're on your own for that. We only bring you back." And so forth, this goes on for about half an hour, until one bus driver tells us to pay for a taxi to bring us down. At this point it's 9:45, and we said nuts to it and swam in the hotel pool for the rest of the night. Long story short, Disney Bus services suck.

What happened? I heard some people were throwing stuff @ her... (which is so ignorant.) Did anything happen that was like... super horrible? I hope everyone represented FIRST and us better than that. Throwing stuff @ someone who is giving time to put on a show for us, even if you don't like it, is so rude.


If one thing was good, it was the wait in line/bus ride back to the resort. I was headin back to the All Star Movies resort, and the people in line were very talkative and funny, and were the same on the bus. The transportatation rush was handled very well though, i was surprised.
