Begin at the End
Begin at the
End was the first Tagrel.com MouseFest meet ever held, and
continues to be very popular. Despite being held on
Wednesday, before the bulk of MouseFesters even get into
town, last years attendance was over 30 people (and every
one of us enjoyed placing Ponichi-kun in mock jeapardy!)
When signing up, please mention how many people in your
party, and whether you're on the Disney Dining Plan or have
a Disney Dining Experience card.

Sign up deadline reached, but
others may meet up with the group afterward for chat,
pictures and to continue on to the FW Lights and Dogs Tour!

Fort Wilderness Lights and Dogs Tour!
The Legend of Boone and
Crockett
Born to simple, bandanna wearing parents with a love for
headgear with mouse ears, Boone was adopted as a pup by a
couple settling in America to sell covered wagons for the
great trek West, while Crockett was adopted by a couple
headed north to create the first bank/pin shoppe in the
Canadian wilderness. The brothers were reunited in Florida
when the two couples came to explore the magical waters
surrounding Kissimmee. Drawn by some inner voice to the only
forest with a castle view, they found their home.
For decades Boone and Crockett, the pioneer dogs of Fort
Wilderness Campground and Resort, have lavishly decorated
their campground for the holiday season. Some of the campers
even join in the celebrations.
This year, Boone and Crockett invite all Taginators to come
and enjoy their festive home during MouseFest! Oooh and
Aaaah over the decorations. See RV owners enjoying the fact
Disney pays for the electricity with 27 meters of lights per
site and inflatables everywhere. Bring your cameras to
photograph the holiday festivities and bring your voice to
join in the sing-a-long, including a special holiday carol
written especially for the tour!
After your tour of the lights, their descendants Elphie,
Morgan & Casey Boone and Zak & Zoë Crockett will have some
refreshments for you, featuring treats from their home
regions and not available anywhere else! Plus, you take home
your very own exclusive pin featuring Boone and Crockett!

Tomorrowland Big 3 Meet
At 4 pm on
Thursday, December 11, we will take on the big three in
Tomorrowland.
* Work with Buzz to defeat Zurg,
Travel through the decades with the Carousal of Progress (if
it is open of course)
* Then the scarcest attraction of all time - yes that one -
The TTA! And you thought we were going to say Space
Mountain. While Space Mtn is a laughing place for most of
us, it does not hold the pure thrill appeal of TTA. Hands up
and off we go on a first gear ride around Tomorrowland. If
you have not experienced TTA in this way, then you have not
experience the TTA!

Hollywood Tagomania!
Take a leapfrog back to childhood! Come join
us for Hollywood Tagomania at Hollywood Studios' Toy Story
Midway Mania! Remember when you were first learning to share
your toys? Remember the joy of your little friend sitting
next to you as you both systematically destroyed every
plaything you owned? We will recreate that joy with the
added bonus of humiliating that friend with your superior
shooting power.
For those of you who never do well with these target games,
never fear. Big Red has already summed up your ride
experience, "It's going to suck when I only get 3 points."
However, be assured you won't be alone. Many of us have not
done this ride before and we will be right with you in Toy
Loserville.
Due to the popularity of this ride, we may have only a 50-50
chance of getting on it together before MouseFest 2009. That
won't keep us from trying. We are Tagomaniacs. A little
thing like a two hour standby line or a Fast Pass return at
midnight will not discourage us. This event will be limited
to Taginators only. The last thing we need is Lou Mongello
showing up and landing a perfect score.

We'll use the standby line for this one. This will be a
great opportunity for a meet photo in our own elevator!

has a super stretch limo waiting just for us. We'll move

time for the show.

Gift Exchange 2008
Everyone who
wishes to play brings a wrapped gift - their name is added to a box.
After the first name is drawn, that person picks any gift they wish -
they open it and show it to the crowd. That person then picks the next
name and they get to EITHER pick a new present or they give that
present to the first person, taking the one they already
opened. This makes your goal to be the last person drawn so
you can choose from ALL the gifts. Gifts should be in the $15 -
$20 price range.

Capture the Magic Meet

CAPTURE
THE MAGIC CONTINUES
DESPITE TROUBLED ECONOMY
Higher fuel prices change the game but the fun continues
Capture the Magic Airlines™ today announced several changes
to its ever popular “Capture the Magic Meet”. Reports
indicate that customers could start seeing the changes roll
out as early as Sunday December 14, 2008 between 1:00 and
2:30 PM. The service fee for camera bags when traveling to
any of the Magic Kingdom’s seven lands will now be $15.
Strollers, or items that require special handling will
increase to anywhere from $100 to $215 depending on the
items and how much it would fetch on Ebay if “lost”. The new
fees will apply to anyone participating in the 2008
MouseFest meet.
“With record-breaking fuel prices, we must pursue new
revenue opportunities, while continuing to utterly humiliate
ourselves in the name off good clean fun, by tailoring our
products and services around what Tagrel.com members value
most and are willing to pay for,” says Frogman, executive
vice president of marketing and self promotion.
Capture the Magic Airlines™ estimates that the new service
fees will apply to one out of three players, and the
potential revenue from baggage handling service fees,
including those for checking a first and second bag, will be
approximately $275 million a year. Barrie, executive vice
president of day to day camera operations, was heard
screaming “WAHOO” right before quickly putting a new flash
on order at Amazon.com.
The full color meet booklets, a highlight from years gone
by, will also be seeing corporate cutbacks. Now, instead of
one booklet per member, each team will receive ONE
complimentary booklet to share collectively. Printing and
assembly however will NOT be transferred overseas as earlier
rumored and will in fact remain at the Seattle based MissB-using
Lottsa Inc. Additional booklets may be printed for a nominal
fee after the meet via a link to be provided at a later
time.
"The operational profits of Capture the Magic Airlines™ are
a fraction of what they were in 2006," MissBianca, owner and
operator of MissB-using Lottsa Inc. told reporters.
"Unfortunately it was one portion of our meet that was
identified as an area where we could save some costs. Until
we as a country lower our dependency on foreign inks I can’t
fathom things going back to the way they were. Be right
back, I heard the doorbell and I think my new ink cartridges
are here!"
Drinks and snacks during Capture the Magic Flights have also
been eliminated, though each will be available to players at
their own expense at various stands located throughout the
lands. Coca-Cola products will now be starting at $2.39 +
tax. Food offerings will range from small snacks to full
meals, see your flight attendants prior to boarding for
details. Alcoholic beverages as always are not available on
any flights departing from, or arriving into the Magic
Kingdom.
“We knew that we would have to make some changes, and cut
some costs but we here at Capture the Magic Airlines™ truly
feel the one thing that we will not be decreasing is the
magic. They will still have just as much fun as ever,” Dr.
P. Book Wood, Professor of Clue Anatomy at Valparaiso
University affirmed. “We are doing everything we can to
continue to bring this meet to the masses year in and year
out including having everyone run slower to lessen drag. In
the end it is about those moments that can’t happen any
other time, like seeing Deb Wills scream out for someone to
show some skin. Yes, Capture the Magic Airlines™ is changing
with the times- but it’s ready to take flight once again!”
About Capture the Magic Airlines™
Capture the Magic Airlines™ (NASDAQ: CTMA) operates roughly
one meet a year available to any members of Tagrel.com and
their families. Flights originate at the rose garden in the
Magic Kingdom promptly at 1:00. It is suggested that all
players arrive at least 10 minutes prior to their flight’s
departure to the seven lands of the Magic Kingdom. Each
team, consisting of up to 5 members (or 6 since no one is
following the rules!), is required to supply ONE camera
which they will use to complete the photograph “scavenger
hunt”. Capture the Magic Airlines™ is not responsible for
dead batteries, full memory cards, or damage from laughter
induced urination. Each “clue” will be worth a predetermined
amount of points to be decided by a celebrity panel of
ex-Disney star’s dogs featuring the Chihuahuas of Britney
Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Lindsay Lohan. At the
completion of the flight teams must PROMTPLY return to the
Rose Garden where points, and miscellaneous fares will be
tallied. Upon arriving home the camera owner will be
expected to upload all their shots THIS website. By
participating in the meet you agree that Capture the Magic
Airlines™, its affiliates, and photochoppers like WDWNJ may
use your photos for any purposes they deem suitable.
Sign-up for your flight today. Be sure to request seating
preferences by listing your team name and the screen name of
every member of your team. Tickets are non-transferable,
non-refundable, and not worth a thing on the black market.
Various members of Capture the Magic Airlines™ may ask you
for photo I.D. prior to boarding. Due to budget concerns
frisking by trained security personnel will not be included
effective immediately. Instead Capture the Magic Airline
hosts with no training at all will perform random frisking
just for their own amusement. Hope to see you on board!
