Why are you charging for some of these events? Why do you have sponsors for the events?

Costs for events may include a venue fee, a Food and Beverage minimum, attraction fee, as well as a charge for any special guest(s), not to mention Deb Wills's personal DVC Points that were used to rent the Grand Villa for our Open House.

We have worked very carefully with the Disney Special Events Teams (via our liaison MouseFanTravel) to ensure quality events are reserved for AllEars® fans.

Without our event sponsors, we would not be able to offer the unique experiences we have planned. And even with the generous support of our event sponsors, not all costs for these events are covered, unfortunately. We have attempted to keep the fees charged to a minimum, and have tried to balance the paid events with offering several free events. We hope our readers/fans understand the need for us to recover some of our expenses in this manner.
