Hi Steve,
As always a wonderful report!
Even though the All-Stars is much, much smaller than Saratoga, I have to say we always have some confusion on trying to find our room as well. Even though you may know that your room is, say the Jazz Building, it is a very large building and there is no way to tell which end your room is in. Therefore, like what you had to do at Saratoga, you have to "enter the building to see the signage" to see what room numbers you are near. We have found that this is NOT a fun thing to do at 1:00 AM!!!!!!
Even though I felt your pain about the bus system at Saratoga (just terrible!!!!) I think I am still laughing about about your taking the bus to Saratoga from Epcot, missing your stop and going back to Epcot!!!!!! I was laughing so hard when I read it, that both Jimmy and Cam heard me, and walked over to the computer to find out what was so funny. They also had a good chuckle over it!!!!
Did you ever here anymore about the pregnant cougar??? I wonder if she was located. Hopefully so!!
Hopefully Magical Express will be on top of their game when we go back in August. We are not getting a rental, so will be using it. We've used it before and never had a problem. I have my fingers crossed!! After reading about poor Roger and Pam's luggage, I think I will grab my luggage myself!! Good God!!!
I'm with Barb on the Nemo show......
What is the character is flight balloon at Pleasure Island that you mentioned???
Those two books that you mentioned that Jason Surrell wrote, Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean, Jimmy bought those and we have all enjoyed them very much. Very interesting!
You mentioned a dock down below the Mansion and wondered about it. Was this the area that used to be used for the Mike Fink Keelboats? I know the dock was in that area. The last time we rode those was 12 years ago. It was memorable, because at the time the CM that was at the dock had a cane fishing pole for people to use while they waited. He baited it and gave it to Jimmy to use, who was four at the time. Jimmy dropped it in the promptly caught a fish!!! it was a neat moment. We always say, how many people can say that they caught a fish in the Magic Kingdom!!!!
I agree with your park peeve about people blocking the FP queue waiting for their FP time. I have mentioned it in my reports too as it drives us crazy!!!! We are also driven crazy by people cutting in line at Soarin and other rides! Those four "ladies" sure had alot of nerve!!!!
I have to collectively remark on; The little girl screaming in Ghirardelli's, Thomas on the bus, the boy at ITTBAB, UGH!!!! UGH!!!! Parents need to get a clue!!!!
So Steve, thanks for the GREAT report, I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one!! Let me know if you and Jim ever plan a meet in Albany!!!! Heidi Commerford
