December 2025: Orlando Meetup

The magic was in full force in December in Orlando!  We gathered at Disney Springs for a truly historic occasion: the first-ever Pete McDevitt Show meetup held right on Disney property.  It was an incredible afternoon defined by community, creativity, and holiday cheer.  The energy was electric as nearly 100 people joined the festivities. The event was a beautiful melting pot of the Disney community; bringing together creators, moderators, and longtime supporters from across the globe who traveled to be part of the channel’s history.  No one left empty-handed! To mark the occasion, every attendee received unique keepsakes.  Attendees received holiday hangout magnets: a custom design celebrating the season, collaboratively created by Monorail Mollie Jen and Pete.  Pete McDevitt Show friendship bracelets were beautifully handcrafted by Katie Phillips, adding a personal touch to the day.  A huge shoutout to Debbie Bernfeld, whose name tags were a lifesaver, making it easy for everyone to finally put a face to a name and connect more deeply.  Monorail Mollie’s Mom was a huge support helping manage the chaos as the key welcome committee point of contact.  The “Holiday Hangout” theme was taken to heart, with many attendees sporting amazing holiday attire, from festive ears to intricate seasonal outfits.  We capped off the event with a massive group picture. While the photo features nearly everyone, we want to give a nod to those who couldn’t make the shutter snap—some who joined us early and had to head out, and those who arrived just as the event was concluding.  Your presence was felt regardless!  It wasn’t just a meetup; it was a celebration of the community we’ve built together. Here’s to many more milestones on Disney property!
