A full schedule of events for Saturday the 30th at DCA and Sunday the 31st at Disneyland will be released shortly. Please plan to join us for three full days of friendship and fun. The partial event listing is below: Saturday, January 30th, 2016 - DCA 2:00 pm - Animation Building Meet-up Meet us inside DCA's Animation building as we watch the ENTIRE animation loop in the lobby. Many MiceChat friends helped animate the movies on the screens above. This is our chance to watch their work and marvel at the amazing collection of films in the Disney catalog. 3:30 pm - Eye Spy Game - Patio of the Golden Vine Winery near the entry to the Blue Sky Cellar When the park opened, DCA got a lot of flack for not being Disney enough. Today, the park has evolved into an entirely different experience. Join us for a free one hour adventure through DCA to solve questions in an attempt to claim the prize of DCA King of the Nerds! Please be prepared to have a great time when attending this event. Sudden laughter, problem solving and cheering may occur. Event will last one hour and is FREE (you just need park admission). We do ask that you please bring a working pen as we won't be able to bring a bulk of these items through security. Compete in teams of one to four people. We will begin giving the rules at 3:30 and send the teams off from the Winery. You'll have one hour from the time we send you off. You'll return back to the winery patio at the end of your quest to find out who won! Please share this event with your friends and family! 5:00 pm - Dinner Paradise Garden Grill - Tables under the trees near Goofy Sky School After your quest, you'll likely be ready for some dinner and a drink. Join us at Paradise Garden Grill as we eat and chat, and eat and chat, and chat . . . 7:00 pm - Trivia, Cocktails and Fireworks - At the new Courtyard by Marriott (next to the HoJo and across from the Matterhorn on Harbor Blvd) Join us as the magical, mystical Monorail Man (Hastin) conjures up a trivia contest for you in a fun new venue! See the fancy new Courtyard by Marriott (built by our partners at the HoJo next door), enjoy drinks on the fancy pool patio (which is located on the roof of the parking structure), and watch the Disneyland fireworks from a unique new location!!! This event is free to attend and not to be missed. Get a 20% discount at either the Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim the HoJo Anaheim.

Sunday, January 31st, 2016 - Disneyland With all the recent changes to Disneyland, we've had to change things up a bit. Gone for now are the Disneyland Railroad and Mark Twain, but this will also be our final breakfast at River Belle Terrace. But don't be too sad, we'll still be able to do our classic noon meet and group photo in front of the castle (we'll meet you all at the Walt and Mickey statue at noon). 9:00 am - River Belle Terrace Breakfast Riverbelle terrace has been the traditional start for our Sunday events for MiceChat Anniversary weekend. Sadly, this will be the last year (for now) that this location serves breakfast. The restaurant will stop serving breakfast after February 1st. Let's make these pancake memories last a lifetime. 10:30 am - Fab Fun Quest - Disneyland Central Hub (near Walt's right hand) The Fabulous Disney Babe has cooked up some clever questions for you to answer. Meet at the hub for instructions on this one hour quest. Prizes will be handed out to winning teams. Play alone or in teams of up to 4 members. It's FABtacular. 12:00 pm - Noon Hub Meet The Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse Partners Statue in the central hub of Disneyland (the round park in front of the Castle) has been host to hundreds of MiceAge/MiceChat meets over the years. Its classic location and sentimental statue make it the ultimate location for us to give thanks to the man who started it all, Walt Disney. Meet and greet with your friends, make new friends, and you might just win a special prize just for being there! Then join us at 12:30 pm for a Group Picture In front of the Castle. 1:00 pm - Lunch - Rancho Zocalo This location offers lots of advantages for our large group. There is plenty of group seating, plus it's close to Stage Door and Jolly Holiday for those who want to grab something other than Mexican food and bring it over to join us. 2:30 pm - Play Date We are in America's favorite theme park. Perhaps we should ride some attractions! We'll meet along the banks of the Rivers of America just in front of Pirates of the Caribbean at 2:30. As soon as we get everyone assembled, we'll take the following attraction tour: Pirates of the Caribbean, Enchanted Tiki Room, Disneyland Castle Walk-Through, and Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln. We'll say our goodbyes in the exit lobby of the attraction until the next big MiceChat event.

There's nothing more magical than a rainy day at Disneyland. We'll see you today for MiceChat's 11th anniversary - RAIN or SHINE!!!
The only change may be a switch in lunch location. Depending on conditions, we may seek a dry lunch spot (likely Pizza Port)

Happy Anniversary folks - we'll see you at Disneyland

Happy Anniversary Mice Chat..........
