Happy Cinco de Mayo Day!




​

Saturday, May 5th is Cinco de Mayo, a day often mistaken in the United States for Mexico’s Independence Day. In fact, the holiday had its origin more than 50 years after the date associated with the country’s independence.

Excellent! How many comics did your store allow? Our store let us get eight per person! They had all that I mentioned except for food & beverages. DH & DS are going back out to another store now! I'll post a picture of their haul when done!

They let us get 5 each. I honestly didn't see any others I wanted anyway. I got Bob's Burgers, Amazing Spider-man, Archie, Zero, and Batman comics.

 

[Haley R]

He's so cool! Love him and picked up a few too.

He is my first POP figure. I have always thought they were cute, but knew if I bought one I would need them all lol. I figured I was supporting my local comic book store and it was cheaper than it is on Amazon so I got Miguel lol.

I'm a little confused. This must be for people that don't want to deal with getting good FP options.

Or don't have access to a computer. Yeah, I don't get it either these are rides that are often available at rope drop.
Someone mentioned it could be a way WDW sneaks in a fee to purchase FP's too.

I'm reading a bit of Disneyland news and the long lines for the AP $20 Alien popcorn bucket. Woof! Got ours in Japan! What I'm trying to find out is the cost of the refills after the $1 price point disappears, is it $1.50 like at WDW? Thinking we might be taking ours with us!

I wouldn't mind paying for an express pass like at Universal, but I would prefer if they just kept it how it is. There are pros and cons to both ways of doing it.

 

[FoxC63]

We also got this little Alien from Japan too. It came with three mochi balls filled with strawberry, vanilla & chocolate ice cream. EXCELLENT! The small Alien fit perfectly inside the Alien popcorn bucket and DS carried that on our return flight.



I carried the Duffy PC bucket.

Awwww..i want to see them. Where is the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail overlook?

Got me! I hope someone else will chime in with their knowledge.

We took DS to AK when he was small and his allergies went nuts. His skin didn't fair well either. Never been back since.[/QUOTE]

Gorilla Falls used to be Pangani Forest, and I think the physical trail is still the same. The Savannah Overlook is the furthest point from the entrance, sort of the middle of the trail. The entrance is right next to the exit for Kilimanjaro Safari. I can't find a really good map of just the trail, or I'd post it for you.

I have the map from my Wilderness Explorers Guidebook if that helps.

Sorry I haven't been about for a while, I'm having an operation tomorrow (nothing to serious just having my sinuses fixed) so probably won't be on for a few more days but I will be back

Oh I meant I just purchased them. I have to pick them up at will call because of the AP discount

View attachment 320789 Got my copy today!!!!

FYI - The free Zero comic you picked up is going to expand!!! Yep! Tim Burton has finally agreed to make a series based on the Pumpkin King. It's recommended that you pre-order your comics prior to the release date. Even if you're not interested in collecting the whole series I recommend getting #1.
