Glow with the Show Disney Parks Blog Meet Up 7/30

[The Forbidden Eye]

Had the opportunity to attend another Glow with The Show Event last night. Unlike the Annual Passholder events, this one was open to 1,000 Parks Blog Readers. The event came with complimentary Glow Ears and complimentary drinks (bottled water and canned sodas to be precise.).

After hanging out with a group of my friends in DCA, I headed to the ticket booths to register. The line took about 30-40 minutes long. Once I checked in (no confirmation paper was needed. Only a Valid photo ID was needed to confirm the name on the list they had) and the wristband and free park ticket in hand (which mine was never scanned. Don't know why) we were escorted in small groups.



The ticket and the voucher I would use to get the free ears.

We were lead towards the gate in between TLM and Seaside Souvenirs to get out hats and drinks.



The hats await!

I noticed that some guests came up to the CMs handing out the hats wondering what was going on. It was obvious that they didn't know about the meet up.

After I got the hat, I stopped by the free drinks and we could get as much as we want (I got a can of sprite and bottled water.)

We were instructed to go to the Blue section where the area for us was (well it was really all of Blue so we shared it with the day guests that got Blue passes from GRR)

I opted for the area with the play fountains as this was were I was during the AP Glow with the Show Event.



It really is a sight to see many glow ears play in unison during the show.













Unfortunately, the fire was not on during the show, but it did provided a shot of the lighting color the ears take on during the fire.









THE END

Great Report!

This was also my second time attending one of the Glow with the show event.

I was happy to get another free $25 hat. I was also very happy to be able to take my dad into DCA for free and let him ride Radiator Springs Racers. My dad is the only one in the family that usually dislike going to Disneyland and doesn't want another annual pass.

Where do they announce these things? I've had a Premium pass since January and I don't ever seem to hear about AP events like the GWTS AP event or the Fantasmic 20th.

It feels like I never "get the memo" as we used to say.

It was a Disney parks blog thing. The Disney park blogs are really becoming good at engaging their readers. After last night I'm going to pay more attention to all the official Disney blogs and sites. I was also able to get a free marshmallow thanks to DCA Today on twitter!

I think it was on a weekend when it was announced and I just happen to be on facebook/twitter when they announced it so I went to the link and signed up.

If Forbidden Eye doesn't mind, here's some photos from the back.

Would anyone mind listing these particular blogs that we should follow if we want to do events like these? Also, what twitter accounts / other social media sites should we be aware of? I'm definitely in the dark about this stuff but would LOVE to go / be more cognizant of special AP / blog events...

Once an event is announce, follow the instructions to sign up for these events and do it quick as these are very limited in how many people can go.

[Sir.Mouse]

Also DCA Today is starting to arrange more and more meets and giveaways! It might be best to follow any official Disney resort social media just in case!

Thanks! I was in the area right underneath the walkway in front of Ariel's. So i was pretty high up and there was a rather wide space between us and the next grouping of people.

I too got to attend this fun meet up. It really is neat to see all the ears lighting up, but the downs side of course is that many people need to have them to make it look neat. My legs are in the last pic of the Disney Parks Blog page talking about the event LOL. I had a great time and love that Disney does this for their fans and anyone else that wants to be a part of their events.

Agreed. When there isn't many people wearing them, it makes them less impressive.

All nice pictures, but I have to tell you, it actually seems more impressive from the back, where you can see so many more glowing ears.
