I can't say that I don't want to visit again, but when our annual passports expire in 2010 we won't be renewing them again. With passholder rolls swollen to nearly 1,000,000 people, trips just aren't what they used to be. With the exception of days we get up before dawn to arrive for park...

Some rough travel times assuming no traffic: Vegas to Jean: 20 minutes Jean to Stateline: 10 Stateline to a nice new rest area: 20 Rest area to Baker: 15 Baker to Calico: 45 Calico to Barstow: 10 Barstow to Victorville: 20 From there on the only gap would be the Cajon Pass which is...

Doubt it. I once tried to get the Monte Cristo at Blue Bayou after they stopped serving lunch. I was denied even though they were still serve it for dinner at Cafe Orleans.

I called Disneyland today and was told that the expiration date is 10/31 regardless of what's printed on your exchange voucher. So if your Costco only has the 5/31 ones, don't hesitate to buy them anyway.

I don't think I've ever seen the lines for that ride get long enough for that to be necessary...

They had plenty at the Costco in Temecula about a week ago. Slightly out of your way, but not too bad. They also had a hand-lettered sign above them saying that they'd be good until the end of June even though they say the end of May. The one in Moreno Valley had them up to 2 weeks ago still...

:scared: Wow, I'm glad we skipped it! My wife wanted to go but finally decided not to mostly because of having to leave home so early in the morning to get there by 7. Having gone through that and been too late anyway would have suuuuucked!

There's a similar "odor-zone" in the line for POTC. The line that goes to the left where it's between the tree house and the side of the building often has a pretty ripe smell...

I think it's a myth that it's ever been open.

Submission for new classifications: The Banshee - We all enjoy a hearty yell on fast rides, but this species does its best to make your ears bleed. The 140dB screams usually begin the nanosecond any movement is detected on the ride, and do not stop until the restraint is released. Beware of...

I definitely don't think the Winnie the Pooh ride is up to Disney's usual level. The Fantasyland dark rides are a bit different for me because I put them in their own "classic" category almost. Still, Peter Pan shows more attention to detail than Monsters/Pooh. While there's speech in it, it's...

Another note about the kid's menu. About a year ago when we took our neice and nephew, the nephew got the chicken drummettes. He took one bite and no more. Can't say I blame him either, I tried one and it was bland and greasy... Not good for an adult, and somebody must have been...

Does anyone know if this closure is just a clean-up and repair or if there will be upgrades? I like the ride, but honestly it doesn't feel up to par for Disney to me. Instead of animatronics that at least make a passing effort to lip sync with the dialogue, they just wag their heads back and...

What kind of wait times did you see for the rides you went on? My wife and I just renewed our passes but this will be an evaluation year to decide if we do it again. Even days that used to be slow have been getting busier and busier and that's kind of bummin us out...

Dunno about the latest time for a reservation, but if you want to be sure to get in you should call in advance and make the reservation before you even arrive. 714-781-DINE You can't get the Monte Cristo after they've stopped serving it (I've tried), but you can get it for dinner at Cafe Orleans.

You saw Boo! I made friends with this one at the Trick or Treat event at CA. Since it was right outside of Monster's Inc and on Halloween, I figured Boo would be an appropriate name. ;) I also just saw an extremely fluffy orange tabby a week and a half ago in the grape vines between the...

They got rid of the "permane ser sentados por favor" ?!? :sad1: That's pretty much the only Spanish I know!

This last Saturday I went with my new Nikon D40 for the first time and it worked out great! I brought the relatively small bag with the second lens, but I ended up using the 18-55 for everything. The amazing thing to me is that the D40 weighs less than the Kodak DX6490 point & shoot it's...

Depending on how the kids are with heights, the PS Aerial Tramway could be a nice side trip. http://www.pstramway.com/ Just make sure you dress for temperatures a good 30 degrees or so lower than ground level. There's also the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens right there in Indian Wells...

The monorail station is also pretty close to the GC if you want to go straight to Tomorrowland... Considering how much you'll be walking around the parks, the walk to either the monorail station or the main entrance plaza are nothing!
