Parties, polls and appearances make this a very busy week here at JHM

So if you'd like to get in on this seasonal shindig -- which will be held on Saturday, December 3rd at the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel near WDW's Downtown Disney -- I suggest that you drop Mr. Liljenquist a line at Scott@Mouseketrips.com ASAP. So that Scott can then be sure to get your name on the guest list.

Mind you, even if you won't be attending MouseFest 2005 and/or won't be available to come to this Saturday night's party ... I've still got something that I'd like you to do. Which is take JHM's first-ever reader's poll.

You see, we're looking to do a little fine-tuning here at JimHillMedia.com. Get a better sense of JHM readers want to see at this website. Which features you like. Which columns you could do without. (And -- yes -- as part of this poll, we actually do ask you which long-overdue series you'd like me to complete first.)

So if you could take a moment to fill out this survey ... I'd really appreciate it.

And if you are going to be in Orlando this coming weekend ... You really want to make your way to the Buena Vista Room. Where there'll be itty bitty cheesecakes as well as great big stories from Jim Korkis & myself.

Hope to see you there!

Oops! Almost forgot to talk up the appearances I'll be making at MouseFest 2005:

• On Friday, December 2nd, Scott L. & I will be hosting a Mouseketrips meet-n-greet at the Flame Tree Barbeque restaurant in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. So if you've got any Disney-related questions that you need to have answered by a fat guy, be sure and drop by that DAK restaurant at 11:30 a.m.

• On Saturday, December 3rd, I'll be joining dozens of other Disney authors & webmasters at the Mega Mouse Meet. Which will be held at WDW's Dolphin Resort in the Northern Hemisphere -- Salon E -- from 1 - 3:30 p.m.

So if you're going to be in the neighborhood, be sure and drop by & say "Hello," okay?
