Something Big Is Coming?

Andrewgator · 06-25-2008, 08:16 PM

Anyone have any guesses regarding Lou's big announcement next week?

I guess he is just trying to get us all to sleep as little as he does, by keeping us up all night with anticipation. I can't wait until next sunday.

I think you might be right (take it easy on the energy drinks, Lou

!)

Try as I might, I just cannot imagine what the something BIG could be!

I have taken a lot of time trying to think what it could be. I was thinking...well, he already has done the audio and he made a little teaser video for the main street usa audio guide, so I was thinking could it be something to do with a video guide? Perhaps?

That's what I was thinking. Also I was thinking he and Hochburg are somewhat friendly to each other lately, almost chummy, maybe it has to do with some sort of collaboration on something

a contest, everyone who donates to his Dream Team Project will be entered in to a contest to have Lou go to the World with them

If we are just speculating, here is my guess:

Maybe there is a corporate matching sponsor for the Dream Team Giveaway. With 26,000 plus members imagine if each of us gave $5.00 and then a corporate sponsor matched that amount? That would be awesome.

Good idea with the Dream Team Giveaway . . .

The only clue I caught from Lou's show is that he mentioned that MEI and Mousefan Travel were involved with the Big News somehow. I first thought he would put together a meet of some kind, but the Dream Team idea could fit into that description, too!

JGrau · 06-26-2008, 05:14 PM

I think that Lou is registering for the 2009 DisneyWorld full marathon, since the half has been at capacity for months. He's teaming up with MEI to coordinate something going on down there. A few weeks ago, actually it might still be up, but on the travel website they were offering a package for the marathon weekend with a special dessert cruise for illuminations. I bet Lou is going on this, and somehow he is going to do some crazy fundraising for his charity with this. Maybe if you book through the travel group to go down, part of the procedes go to Lou's foundation. Hmmm....

GIOny · 06-28-2008, 10:02 AM

Come to think of it didn't he mention some mini golf outing with other podcasters awhille ago and they would somehow tie it into charity. I remember it being mentioned but don't remember it ever happening. Maybe it has something to do with that.

We're talking hours now until the something BIG is announced. It's almost more difficult waiting these last hours than it has been waiting out the last week

Andrewgator · 06-29-2008, 08:37 PM

WE have to wait another week! and he made it sound even more exciting than ever!

eyeinthesky · 07-04-2008, 06:19 AM

My guess is that he is moving to Orlando. He's been going down every other week it seems. Plus, Testa might have slipped on a recent show of WDW Today (unless he was trying to get a rumor started). Watch and see....

Love That Duck · 07-04-2008, 07:22 AM

A move to Orlando? That could be it, I believe I've read that supposition before. I am just not sure that's "something BIG" because I don't think that would be a "big surprise" to any of us. I do see the notice has changed from Something BIG is Coming to News you won't want to miss, you've waited weeks, etc. I guess we might know this week.

Have a great 4th of July everyone!

I just had a thought (dangerous, I know) .... With the 'ADVENTURE' theme and MEI/Mouse Fan Travel involved, my guess is a special Adventures By Disney vacation package will be announced. What do you think????

eyeinthesky · 07-05-2008, 06:21 AM

Unless he's moving to Orlando to accomplish something big! Ok, maybe now I'm getting carried away....

BamaJenn · 07-05-2008, 06:49 AM

Ok so how many threads are we going to have on this subject? Can't we just use one? LOL!!
