(hours subject to change)
Welcome to the place where imagination is the destination. For young and old, big and small — it's the happiest place on earth!
Where do I sign up?
In order for us to prepare in advance for your arrival, we are asking that you sign up during registration for Exchange. You will also receive an Evite (electronic invitation) the last week of September requesting your attendance as we know your plans might change from the time you registered for Exchange. We will purchase tickets from the Evite responses and you must have a ticket to enter the park and a wristband to enter our private dinner area and private World of Color show. The ticket and wristband you receive are only valid the night of our event. (NOTE: This event is included in the price of your registration)
Are my guests able to come with me?
Absolutely! All registered guests, included children, are able to participate in this fun adventure. Just remember to include all guests on the Evite and make sure the guest registration fees ($150/guest) are paid in full.
You can register your guest(s) by logging back into the registration site under your login profile. After logging in, click "Purchase Registration Items" next to the Purchase Items section. This will allow you to add packages to your account. You can enter a different credit card than the one used to purchase your registration when you get to the payment page.

When and where can I pick up my ticket and wristband

What should I wear?
Wear comfortable shoes and casual clothes as you will be doing a lot of walking. Knee length shorts, jeans and tennis shoes are acceptable. It does get cool at night so you may want to bring a sweater or jacket. Don’t forget your conference badge!
