Goin' to Disneyland!

I think I'm reading this now to mean that they want everyone to have an equal shot of getting a ticket, BUT...unless they only allow X% of the fastpasses to go to APs, this will not work.

Because the line of people to get into DCA at ropedrop will be APs, not regular guests. ; They will get the FP and then go over to DL until nightfall.

If they don't restrict the APs getting passes, this system will not work.

If they do, they better have signage explaining it. ; Like "All AP Showpasses Distributed" or else this will make Light Tragic seem like a walk in the park. ; Hell hath no fury like a passholder scorned. ; There is a big reason why they won't have AP previews for it.

They'll probably have a D23 preview though. ; I except Disney's servers to melt on that day.

 

I don't think DCA opens early...it's usually DL that does that. ; DCA follows Epcot's decision (some parts open 1-2 hours after main gate opening), and most of the thrill rides are in that area (Screamin, Soarin). ; Also, certain park hoppers give you early entrance priv. as well.

 

Semi-worst fears have been realized, and my Disneyland trip has been....

moved up! ; Now I just have to scramble to make arrangements!

 

Well, it looks like Nancy and I will be going May 19-24

 

Leaving the kids home?

 

Yes, the fur kids are old enough now to babysit....j/k

All of us are going I'm just not used to saying Nancy, the kids and I yet.

We are staying at the Grand Cali and sadly the cost of our accommodations and park tickets was about the same prices as our airfare for 3 (Kai is now 2 which means he has to pay full rate on Southwest)

We are planning on going to WDW around October (after Free Dining and while Food & Wine is still going on) so we are giving serious consideration to buying the coast-to-coast pass.

 

Ray, I'm glad y'all are safe after the storm(s). ; Did you already file an insurance claim[nb]I actually waited one year for me, kept the vulture roofing companies at bay[/nb], or do you happen to have one of those homes with a more hail-resistive roof[nb]Our roof was totaled, and that was just from the hail.[/nb]?

 

Roger,

We have not made a claim on our house yet. ; We have no visible damage and I'm in the queue to get a roofer out to inspect it (I am using a roofer highly regarded by a home builder friend of mine). ; I don't have the impact resistant shingles but I do have some of the nicer shingles rated for a few decades

 

I'm guessing the roofer will find damage. ; Even the 30 year shingles don't seem to last that long against golf ball sized hail. ; I hope your cars were garaged!

 

Yes, our cars were garaged. ; My brother was not so lucky. ; He lives in Moore, OK and got nailed by softball sized hail and it totaled both of his cars

 

Annnnnnnnnd my DL trip was cancelled. ; But maybe that was a good thing. ;

 

eh ?

 

Well lots of things. ; We're putting our son into a private school camp this summer (which means two other trips), and the session begins right when we were originally going to be coming back from CA, so I rescheduled it for next week. ; Then that ended up conflicting with something that came up after I rescheduled it. ; The only free week left was 7/4, which is not a good time to go to DL, even with AP blockouts.

Partially I was kind of glad because I was going to miss WoC completely with the reschedule. ; They are soft opening the show on 6/10 for the media, with the real opening on 6/11. ; It worries me somewhat as this is almost the same pattern they followed with Light Magic. ; They better get the crowd control right quickly!

In return I get to go to Pixelmania, so that's the good thing.
