Title: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: Rathany on January 28, 2009, 01:40:18 pm
So, I am officially anouncing that people who pre-reg for the dance get to skip the front of the line.  I am doing this in hopes that more of you pre-reg.  Pre-reg is cheaper for you, MUCH less work for us, and should mean alot less time waiting out in the cold that night. 

Pre-reg, and everybody wins!

I was already going to pre-reg and this makes me want to even more! I might be able to this weekend.

Btw... What is the deadline for pre-regging for the dance? =3

Haha, because lines are sssoooo much fun  ::)
Why do you think they have so many lines at Disneyland? For the rides? Pfft.
Sadly, I'll probably be waiting in it too, despite the fact that I pre-registered. My friends would rather pay at the door. Go figure.

I don't mind lines too much....reg lines aren't that bad though, it's nice to look at all the outfits ;D

Post by: oslapedo on February 04, 2009, 08:07:30 pm
Aw, that happened to me last year at KCon. I pre-regged but none of my friends did so I had to wait, like, 4 hours in line. It was fun though :D
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 04, 2009, 08:08:11 pm
that happened this year...I guess last year, 08.

I had to get up early to be there at 5 because I was the driver x.x

Oh I wanted to ask a mod a question. Will there be a place to check clothes and bags?
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: oslapedo on February 04, 2009, 08:10:46 pm
Wait so are we waiting in this line? :D
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: Coconutty93 on February 04, 2009, 08:13:01 pm
~shrugs~ I personally think it would be fun. We're gonna be in the dance all night so we might as well hang outside for a bit. ^w^

I pre-reg'd last year and still waited in line for over 20 minutes. That wont happen again, right? :(
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: kylite on February 05, 2009, 09:39:17 am
If it is like last year we should have a baggage/clothing/coat check storage. I do not have this confirmed but I am hopeful :)
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: Jamiche on February 05, 2009, 10:31:23 am
Yes, there is a place to check coats and such.. but it isn't a huge space, so please don't plan on checking in a ton of stuff.

As for the wait, we are hoping to speed up the process this year by decreasing the info we take at door.  You shouldn't have a long wait (as long as you aren't showing up at 5:30 to wait in line :P)
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 05, 2009, 10:46:00 am
I would only check a jacket and my purse so it wont be too much ;D
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: oslapedo on February 07, 2009, 11:21:24 pm
It wasn't that cold 8D

And the line wasn't that long. at least when i was there.
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 08, 2009, 08:31:34 am
I was first in line ;D

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who pre-reged! You made our lives so much happier! At least we had an estimate of confirmed people. Those who pre-reged (and paid): Your wait in line wasnt too time consuming was it?

OH and for like the first time ever WE STARTED EARLY!!!!! YAY. (we are so proud :))

*Next time.....PLEASE remember your permission forms!* :)
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 08, 2009, 12:21:21 pm
yeah waiting in line didn't take any time at all. And I totally forgot that if you were under 18 you needed a permission form x.x

oh well soon she will be 18 and wont have to deal with that ;D
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: Hidamari on February 08, 2009, 12:48:11 pm

Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 08, 2009, 12:49:49 pm
yeah it was nice that they allowed Devin in just by talking to her mom over the phone.
Title: Re: Don't Wait In The Cold During Dance, Pre-Reg!
Post by: Deviant Spider on February 08, 2009, 01:19:07 pm
Yeah, we really do want you all there and having fun. Phone confirmation, while time consuming, at least lets us know that you are safe. :)

Im just so happy SOOOO many people showed up!

Much thanks to Gina who fielded tons of lack of permission slip problems that night so I could concentrate on taking monies. 

Also, just keep in mind, while we can be a bit lienent at events like this, we can't be at con. 

We had about 130 peoples, which is our best attendence yet.  So, this shows that we are doing something right and should keep doing mini-events. 

From the staffing/planning side, this was the smoothest event yet.  Though, we are working on ways to make it even smoother.  I am thinking of making tubes with markings on them that can be used to tell how many chips/points you have without having to bother counting.

wow I had no idea that so many people didn't have permission forms....how did you handle it?

wow I had no idea that so many people didn't have permission forms....how did you handle it?

Some people had parents come back and pop thier heads in, a few calls were made.  But, we would love to just have everyone have thier forms all nice and ready next time.  We do want to make sure everyone can get in, but it gets a bit time consuming to deal with people who don't have them.

Just a suggestion, it would've helped for some people if there were permission slips at the dance :3

I understand how it would be nice and go much smoother if everyone had the proper forms but it seems like everything went fine ;D

Yeah, that was my bad.  I was having issues with my printer.  I couldn't print the pre-reg list either for some reason.  I had to re-write it in word and then print it.  I figured we would hand write permission slips at the dance if needed. 

Would've been fine if I hadn't left so much work for day of ;)
