Florida Recap Part 1, NFFC Florida Convention Plus World Chapter Meeting Featuring Original Dreamfinder Ron Schneider and Final Dreamfinder Steve Taylor.

Welcome back everyone. I have so much to report from this past week in Florida that I will break it into 2 parts. Please check back later this week for part two.

The trip started out with the NFFC Florida Convention. It was another great event and I had a wonderful time attending the seminars and meeting many of you! The first day of the convention was held at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. This was a big step for the NFFC as it was the first time it was actually being on Disney property! The day featured many interesting speakers including Virginia Davis of Disney's early Alice Comedies fame, The traditional NFFC lunch with a Legend Honoring Bob Matheison and Bill Sullivan, Florida favorites Terri Hardin (below) and Jim Korkis.

Day two was amazing as the seminars were held at Epcot Center in the former United Technologies lounge inside the Living Seas Pavilion! I applaud the NFFC for this move and hope to see them utilizing these type of venues for future conventions!

 

The seminars themselves were very interesting and mostly geared toward Epcot's 25th Anniversary being celebrated Oct 1st. Speakers included Charlie Ridgway, Dave Smith (below left), Howard Kalov , Dara Trujillo and the always fascinating Marty Sklar (below right)!

Saturday featured the NFFC Disneyana Show and Sale. This was a huge event featuring many vintage props and ride vehicles on display from the event sponsor Surplus Kingdom. I will be featuring these vintage items in a upcoming edition of my Photo Memories series.

The next big event was the NFFC World Chapter meeting held Sunday night on the eve of Epcot's 25th Anniversary. It was one of the best chapter meetings I have attended and really got you in the mood to celebrate Epcot's Anniversary the next day!. The featured speakers were none other than the original strolling Dreamfinder (and friend of this site) Ron Schneider and the final Dreamfinder Steve Taylor. The highlight of the night came when Steve was giving his part of their talk and Ron approached the stage with an actual Figment! This was a surprise to everyone and put a magical tough on a great evening!

Please check back soon for part two featuring coverage of Epcot's big 25th Anniversary Celebration and the changes to this years Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Production Update: I am currently in production on my 2007 Edition of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party DVD (Trick or Treat 4) for a release later this week then I will start work on my Epcot's 25th Anniversary Celebration DVD featuring the re dedication shot from the front row, a great multi camera recording of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth, the incredible Epcot's 25th Anniversary fireworks finale plus the Epcot Center historic display and much more! Please check back soon for release information and more details.
