Well, originally I put a LoCo Directory Theme Park Event there for
October 23rd, but after speaking with Milo, his arrival date was
actually on the 23rd, and he wouldn't be able to make a full day at any
of the Parks until the 24th. 

Instead of removing the event I had created, I modified the date,
thinking that the UDS-N Islands of Adventure Day could potentially
preclude the Host's Party event still. This was with the understanding
that the Host party was not planned to be an all-day event, and that the
time posted on the LD would be adjusted once we heard confirmation on
whether or not we were able to secure a room at the Hotel. I thought the
event itself had evolved to be more of an evening event that was going
to be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. (which is what I had sent in my formal
request). Unfortunately, When I went to follow up on my initial request,
I noticed that I had only saved it as a draft :-(. I did re-send it but
have not been given any updates yet.

So, After considering how close we're getting, without any real
confirmation of a Room for our event, I thought that we might be able to
go as a group to the theme park for a couple of reasons.

1. We could qualify for a group discount. 
2. We could have the park do a group photo for us (with everyone in it)
that people could purchase to commemorate the Event.
3. Family and Friends would be welcome to attend.
4. The combination deal at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure is the
most affordable for a two-park option.
5. Potential Advocacy at the park, I know I'd be wearing some swag!
(:-P).

For the time being I have removed the event, and have left the Host's
Party event. I would like to try and get some feedback from everyone. I
know that financially the theme park event, probably isn't the best
option for all, but I feel it would be an awesome event, that everyone
would be sure to remember, and well worth reaching for.

Sorry for the confusion, but please do let me know your thoughts!
