I have so many wonderful memories from PI. First when I was a freshman at UCF, we wuld go at least once every two weeks and just have a party!! Once I became a CM in 2001 I went every week!!! My roomates and I would even go in our PJs sometimes since it was free and we were jsut there to have fun!

I wish I could go, but I scheduled a bunch of work stuff this weekend that I can't back out of now.... :cry: I guess I'm headed to the "Your biggest regret" topic...

Aren't they making it into stores and restaurants? I was there last year and i think i heard them say they want to make it a more family friendly place.

Look for a hotel off grounds! You can still have the same amount of fun! Plus its cheaper hehehe

I'm also celebrating my 21st birthday up there in March! Cant wait for it :D

I have found cheap rooms at really good, off-property hotels at hotwire.com. It shouldn't be too hard, especially now that it is off season. Last time I found a DoubleTree for $35 a night.

You guys are such bad influences! :lol: I am actually starting to think really hard about taking a last-minute trip - I just need to see if the funds will allow it. I hope everything will magically fall into place by Friday - that would be fun! I may see if I can bring my sister with me - is the age to get into the clubs 18 or 21?

Most are 18, Mannequins and one other is 21 if I remember correct. I haven't been in many, many years.

I had always wanted to celebrate my 21st birthday on PI... but I guess it's not gonna happen now. At least, not the way a 21st birthday is SUPPOSED to go. Bummer.... :|

Alright now stop all this talk about celebrating your 21st birthdays at PI. Those of us over 21 don't need to be reminded how young we aren't. Besides, it's more fun to celebrate your 21st drinking around the world at EPCOT.
