Glad you got to ride Nemo! We are steering clear of that ride and area for this trip! We leave in the morning from Turlock. You are from that area as well? How long is the drive? And is 99 the same as I-5?

they expect lines to be 3 and 4 hours long for the next few days..
WOW:confused3 I sure as heck wouldn't wait that long for a ride. Good thing I have EE when I go at the end of July. Glad you liked the ride. :goodvibes

I live in merced....i posted on your other thread about the distance and the 99 turns into the 5....but since you are leaving from turlock...you can get on the 5 from there if you drive down to patterson which is just maybe 15 minutes from main street...if you want to do the 99 then just take it all the way down to bakersfield and it turns into the 5 around there...really easy ...the only thing to really watch for is once you get to LA...they name the 5 fwy Golden State fwy....then it changes to Santa Ana fwy...still the 5 but make sure you keep those names in your head....

well although I dont condone that type of behavior, it doesnt surprise me...keep in mind a couple of things...1. NOBODY has this ride...DL is the only one...2. and I say this all the time...you CANNOT compare WDW with DL...WDW doesnt have a nemo ride and this has been a long time in the waiting...:confused3

Sorry that happened to you. However, I have to say rude people do go to WDW as well! If you have never seen them you have been very lucky;) . In the end, most people are good and sometimes they just get caught up in the magic and fun and forget their manners. I see far more courteous people at DL/WDW than rude thank goodness!
Lynn: So glad you had a great trip and got to ride Nemo without a long wait. Doubt I'll be that lucky next week but I am not complaining! Welcome Home!

Its really awesome you were brave and got to ride nemo. I was there this past weekend as well, but stayed clear of the lines. I figured I could get more done if I didnt wait in a 4 hour line up. ;) Gives me another reason to go back to DL.
Sunday was cool though with all the media, did you see any celebs? we got some pics of different celebs such as Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Sean Ashton, and as dad and I were waiting for Space Mountain we thought we saw Leonardo Dicaprio in front of us and he was with a skinny blond girl (Prob his GF). We kept seeing a side profile and it sounded like him, but we have been wrong before.
Also thats so cool that they left some of the originality of the sub rides cause it will bring back happy memories to those who remember it.
