PNW Mouse Meet Year In Review 2014

Before we unwrap our 2015 Calendar and begin a whole new set of adventures... I believe it is always fun and sometimes surprising... to look back at the experiences from the past year just completed.
The Pages on the 2014 Calendar seemed to flip by faster than a California Screamin Roller Coaster at Launch... So before it all gets away from us... Lets take a look back at all the PNW Mouse Meet happenings over the past 12 months:

FEBRUARY 2014
In February we kicked off our all new PNW Mouse Fit Group and Walking Events. 
PNW Mouse Fit was created to help motivate us... and you... to get Fit. Monthly Group Walks around the Puget Sound followed by get togethers for Lunch, Mini-Golf or other fun things...
 Each month up to 50 Guests would join in on a great morning of walking anywhere from 1 mile to a full 5K. PNW Mouse Fit Milestones Buttons were always handed out for achieving 100,000 Steps and more... all the way up to 5,000,000 steps in one year!  

APRIL 2014
As we continued our march through 2014 and on our way to the June PNW Mouse Meet... April was a time to announce our Event Celebrity Guest Speakers!
These Live events are always so much fun with so many Disney Fans waiting to hear who this year's Guest Speakers will be... 
 The announcement were presented by your
PNWMM Host Don Morin & CEO of Mouse Fan Travel Beci Mahnken
The Event and Announcements were also broadcast Live Online on our
PNW Mouse Meet UStream.tv Channel and watched by many Disney Fans from all over Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Canada, California, Arizona and Florida.

SEPTEMBER 2014
The end of Summer took us to the Waters of Lake Washington for a Tour on not one but TWO Classic Sailing Ships! 
The PNW Mouse Meet Chartered both the Hawaiian Chieftain and the Lady Washington (used in TV Commercials and the Pirates of the Caribbean Films) for an afternoon of Fun, Mayhem and even a cannon battle on the high seas! 
85 Guests filled the two ships to capacity for an adventure we will not soon forget! 
Many fans even dressed the part with their favorite Pirate or sailing costumes! 
Three hours on this historic sailing ships, a beautiful sunny day and finished off with a cannon battle made this an event to remember and we are already in the planning stages for repeating this amazing event in 2015!

OCTOBER 2014

In October the PNW Mouse Meet went "Haunting" by hosting a PNW Mouse Meet Halloween Party!
A dark lit room was set with special lighting, displays and decor to create an atmosphere that was spooky with ghoulish delight... plenty of tasty foods and drink along with interactive games, photo opps and music made for a wonderful evening celebrating the supernatural... Disney style...
Guests had a great time and brought pixie dust with them as they dressed in many wonderful costumes to celebrate their favorite spooky Disney Characters...

NOVEMBER 2014

In November I completed my very first RunDisney 5K event and had a GREAT Time at the Inaugural Disneyland Avengers 5K & Half Marathon Weekend!!
Other PNWMM Fans joined us for a fun (if not super early in the AM) day of walking, running, photo opps and earning my first ever RunDisney 5K Medal.
If you have never participated in a RunDisney event... I highly recommend them! 
You don't have to be a runner.. just walk or jog a 16 minute mile and you will have an amazing time!!


DECEMBER 2014

We finished the year by celebrating in Issaquah with over 60 Guests at the PNW Mouse Meet Christmas Party!
A wonderful and magical time was had by all... Delicious Food, catching up with Friends new and old and chatting Disney made the afternoon go by quickly...
Don Morin and Beci Mahnken hosted a Q&A session answering a number of questions from WDW Travel to the New Fantasmic! FastPass (stay tuned for a future post detailing this new show option), PNW Mouse Treks and more... Then Don entertained guests sharing history on a number of Walt Disney Company Christmas Cards from 1930 to 1965...

Then it was time for Presents and Prizes! Everyone attending received a PNWMM Christmas Present for an exciting finish to a fantastic day!
