No, but that's a fun idea. I went with seven friends the opening Saturday at El Cap for the AP showing at 10am, then lunch down the street at Mel's Drive-In to celebrate a birthday that one in our group had. It was a really fun day. Sounds like your day will be fun adventure. Enjoy.

I had the idea! And was trying to talk hubby into it, but he wouldn't do it. We watched the movie at a local theatre, which ended at about 6. I wanted to jet down to DL about 30 minutes away and ride the ride, but hubby was too tired, and it being a Sunday evening had early work the next day. But it sounds great and I hope you have fun!

yes. There are MANY pictures. Maybe I'll do it tonight when we get back from the park (we arrived today and brought the laptop for the first time! yay!) Here's a little preview! :D

Anyone know of a better image hosting service than photobucket? I've used it for years and years and haven't looked for another. I really don't like having to upload each pic individually, browsing for each one in each text bar. Anyone know of a better one where I can load all 300-some-odd pics at once, that is decent?

We did it last Sunday too. We took my oldest son to see the movie then went to pick up the other 3 boys to go to DL at around 4pm. It was empty. About 10 minutes to get on POTC. The boys loved it.

After you watch the movie go next door to the Soda Countian and Studio Store and have the POTC ice cream thing! I had it yesterday and it was GOOD! We were there yesterday and it was fun! Here are some pics:

For free image hosting you can use http://www.MAJ.com You can upload a bunch of files at once if you put them in a zip file and upload the zip file. It will un-zip the folder and put all the pictures inthe folder you made. Just make sure the zip file is UNDER 10megs and you will be fine. Maj.com is a great place ot host pictures. This is not really the place to talk about how to use it (it is easy to figure out). But the basics - you can make different foldersfor different picture sets (like the folders on your comp they can also have sub-folders). Once you upload the pics they have to be looked at by a mod to make sure it is not adult stuff (takes a few hours). If you have any questions PM me, I have been using Maj and its sister site Brickshelf.com for a long time.

What a great idea ! Does anyone know how I would get from the Sheraton Universal to El Cap theater and about how far away it is? If I went on a Friday evening (arrival night), would I feel/be safe traveling to/from alone with a child? We'll have a car, if I drove would there be parking right there at the theater? Thanks for any help - just thinking this might be fun way to spend our first night in CA!
One more question (sorry!) - do I need to buy a ticket on line before I leave home, do they sell out on weekend nights?

Oh yes, it was very good! And the fact it was over 90 made it even better :) Theyeven gave me a new bowl to take home.
