MousePlanet is pleased to announce the next edition of our popular, light-hearted competition held at Disneyland in Anaheim California. This event, loosely based on the Cast Member event Minnie’s Moonlit Madness, may be remembered by some from its pre-MousePlanet days as ADD-Quest. On April 29th, it returns for the third time as MouseAdventure!

Participants from a previous MouseAdventure!

Now, if you've already read the following and want to register, or if you are just 100% absolutely sure you want to play our game, then you can register now by clicking here. We do ask that you read the following before registering, though, just so there won't be any misunderstandings.

So, what is MouseAdventure!?

Well, it is a competition, with prizes for the top teams; but beyond that, it is supposed to be a fun way to take a closer look at the park we all enjoy so much. More specifically, there are three parts to MouseAdventure! and every team will participate in at least two of them.

1. The scavenger hunt. This part of the game asks the teams to answer questions about the park. There is not really any trivia knowledge required for this part as all the answers can be found in the park. Be warned though, you may have to do some work just to figure out what question we are asking! To avoid overexertion that accompanied early versions of this event, the park will be broken into five sections and a team will only get one section at a time. All teams will do the scavenger hunt.
2. Team mixers and sub-games. Parts of the section requires that the teams interact with each other. Other parts are little games that your team will keep throughout the park and provide an opportunity for the sharp-sighted to pick up some extra points. Some trivia knowledge will be required for this section, but we try to keep it to a very basic level. All teams participate in this section as well.
3. Trivia! This section will present your team with some very tough Disneyland trivia. While we encourage everybody to participate in the trivia portion, we understand that not everybody enjoys this kind of thing. For that reason, we have two competitive categories: Scavenger Hunt Only and Combined Scavenger/Trivia. Be sure to note which category you want when you register.

To see the specifics of what all the above means, you can view a PDF of the last game packet here. Keep in mind that specific rules and point values may change for the next event. [Note: The Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.]

Interested?

We sure hope so! If you register for the event, more specifics will be sent to you then, but here is all the information you'll need to make a decision.

When: 10:45 am, Sunday, April 29, 2001

Where: The picnic area in front of the luggage lockers outside the main gate. The gathering point is for registration only. Once you have registered you are directed to a second gathering point inside of the park. The picnic-area registration point will only be available from 11:00 am to 11:30 am. As the game will begin at 11:30 am inside the park you should probably try to register by 11:20 am.

Who: You, as part of a team of two to four people. We ask that you identify your team at the time you sign up for the event, you can change that as necessary on the day of the event. Regardless, you must have at least two people on your team during the competition and no more than four. Children 10- years and younger may accompany a team without being considered part of the team.

What: When you pay for the event, please make sure that you note whether you will be participating in the Scavenger Hunt Only category or the Combined Scavenger / Trivia category.

How: Register for the event through MouseShoppe. You can pay immediately by credit card, or select the Money Order payment option to send a check or money order. As with previous events you can get in on the event for as little as $15 per team. This time, however, we will be using laddered fees to encourage early registration and to cover the increased expenses of late entries. Please note that after April 9th, $5 of the registration fee becomes non-refundable.

Very Important: Your entry fee DOES NOT include entrance into the park; it is the responsibility of each participant to be able to enter Disneyland. April 29 is not a blackout date on any of the Annual Passes. Here are the fees and the dates on which they go into effect, understand the earlier you register, the more you save:

Fee (per team)	Effective date:
$15	February 26, 2001
$20	March 26, 2001
$25	April 9, 2001
$30	April 27, 2001

No registrations will be accepted after 6 pm, Saturday, April 28. Absolutely no on-site registration will be allowed.

Why: Because you'll have fun, and it's a unique way to learn more about Disneyland.

Now, some general notes:

Don't worry; if you sign up, all of this information will be repeated again . . . and again . . . AGAIN!

Prizes are awarded to the top teams for all categories. As before, all winners choose a prize from the same "prize table," so that no category will have "better" prizes than the others. The team with the highest score selects first, and then we'll alternate between categories.

MousePlanet contributors are allowed to register for, and participate in, the MouseAdventure! event. They are not, however, eligible for winning prizes.

Here is the tentative timeline for the event:

As possible, participants will be notified by email beforehand.

10:45 am: Registration

11:30 am: Packet distribution, rules explanation, team mixer event (for points!). The game officially begins. There may be point-earning tasks from this time on. If you are late, you can still participate, but may have missed point earning opportunities.

12 pm: Teams released to begin the main portion of the game.

3 pm: The game ends. All game packets must be returned by 3:00 pm to be graded. Late returns may not be considered.

5 pm: Scoring is finished, winners are announced, prizes are distributed.

5:30 pm: All done with everything. See you next time!

This is a rain-or-shine event. Unless the weather is very, very bad, the event will continue as scheduled. If the event is held as scheduled, there will be no refunds for not showing up. If you need to cancel your registration prior to the event, please contact Alex Stroup and arrangements will be made (Again, be aware that $5 of your registration fee is non-refundable after April 9).

In the past we've heard the concern that this event looks like something organized for a tight- knit group of friends. Rest assured, it is not that way at all! The last MouseAdventure had over 30 teams and more than 100 people. Many of those people flew in specifically for the event (one person from as far away as Texas!). This event is for everybody! The list of people known personally by the organizers will be a small minority. Take a look at the pages we set up after the event for last year's participants - you'll see we had all kinds of folks involved.

If you have any questions and are hesitant about this event, feel free to contact Kevin Yee or Alex Stroup and we'll do our best to put you at ease.

Still interested? This link will let you sign-up! Thanks for joining us.
