It was a first for us. We have always wanted to stop and try it however we never get the chance. So glad we did. It was worth it.

[DLFan123]

I only wish we would be there in March so we could give this a try! Emily's pics are great! How nice that they got a complimentary upgrade to that suite!

Hi all,
At the Phoenix airport but will be reporting live from Raglan Road tonight!

[Angebee]

We're here!! So excited. Found out yesterday we had two completely unused Adult 4 day hoppers from the pre-MYY tickets so they converted them for us. Now its like we have two non-expiring 4 day hoppers for less.than half the current price!!! Just tried to send my first pic to Barb so crossing fingers it worked. Have a great day everyone! 50s Prime time tonight for dad's birthday!

[RhettsMom]

Hi Barb,

I wanted to thank you for keeping this thread running. I just discovered it a few weeks ago, and it's the only thing I come to DIS for anymore. I am also in Central IL btw!

Ours too! That's going to hurt.

Looks like we'll be at some of the same parks on the same days. Maybe we'll see you there!
