RideMax is a program that gives you the times to go on the rides for optimum amount. I said we would be arriving around 8:05 on Friday - they are projecting 2 min wait for Star Tours, 6 min for Buzz, 8 min Autopia.... It also tells you when to pick up fast passes and knows when your approximate return time should be. The longest wait we have is 31 min for Matterhorn, everything else is 15 min or less.

nancy - that is an awesome program - and the LONG LINES are the reason i stopped going to DL during summertime and/or other hi peak times - but sounds like this will be great!! I will definitely want to know how close the estimation comes to reality.....

it just tells you what time you should be where, and how long the ride/wait should be? sounds interesting...but only 8 minutes for autopia? that sounds so short! so what happens if it's running late? then, everything just gets pushed back?

have a great time!!

DH has this friday off...said maybe we can go to dl! yay!! if we do, anyone need anything? (for those that don't get to go pre/post cruise...)

hey, Brenda! i see you're online again! are you at work? or are you just on the board all the time, like me?! hee hee...

Hey Susie....
YES I'm online every waking moment - at least while at work and at home - can't miss anything!!! THIS IS ALL TOO important!!!!
don't think i need anything from DL....but hey you can check out my photo in the "Small World" Happiest Faces Collage - - i hear they are all incredible - i'm in the 'sun' 6th row down i think!! i haven't seen it yet - but my nail technician was there last month - and she found me - took a photo of the collage, but last nail appt she hadn't developed her film yet.....

 

[rsjj]

ok, will look for you! omg...i can't belive she found you!!! we went to look for ours...and they are tiny!!!!!!!! each pix is like the size of your pinky nail!! we had 4 in one collage...and this one was up high...so we gave up on searching for the high ones. luckily, we had a lower one, and DH found us!

you have to tell me the name of your collage. is it called "it's a small world"? and i assume it's by the ride, it's a small world. and i need column & row #s. you mentioned, it's in the sun, row 6. how about column? i don't even know what/who i'm looking for.....maybe you can sorta "describe" the pix? (i couldn't even describe our pix i've submitted...DH was a bit irked...i told him, forget it! but somehow he found it! he "recognized" the blurr that was me & DS6, and our friends' kids.)

anyways, will glad to take a pix of it, and save/send it over to you. where else did you get your pix in? we submitted 5... 4 of them were in one collage in dl, and the other one is at ca.

i think it's just me - so just one loney girl all alone...although i thought it was going to be a photo of me with another gal - altho my nail gal said i was alone - maybe they deleted her.....i didn't get around to sending any others in - so this was one that Disney photographers took and i should have on a red shirt. Don't spend too much time searching though - way BETTER things to do there!!!!
Photo: "#1"
Collage: it's a small world
Location: Small World Mall, Fantasyland
Position: Row 25, Column 73, Top Center, Middle of Sun

this really isn't the 'right forum' for this, but since Susie and I are talking about them....don't you all agree that Disney is missing out on some MAJOR revenue dollars by not making these collages into small poster sizes and selling them for $10, $15 or even $20 each?????? DUHHHHHHH - tell me who wouldn't buy one if your photo is in it???????

 

[rsjj]

ok, Brenda. thanx for the info. at least, it's row 25, so it sounds like it's down low. (easier to search for). wish me luck!

as for making it into small posters...yes i agree w/you! but knowing disney, they'd sell it at $50, or something outrageous...and i'm sure people would buy them!! when we went searching for our pix, that's what some of the people around us were talking/commenting on! funny!

you are SOOOO right and we would pay $50!!! i would have rather had my photo in a Dalmatian or a Pirate of the Carribean one (if they even made those????) I'm not a huge fan of It's a Small World

 

[rsjj]

ours is in steam boat willie. and one in nemo. that one is at ca, and i know the kids will be excited to look for that one, since they know nemo & all! i think there's a 101 dalmation one...or maybe it's cruelle deville? maybe i'm wrong, but i thought i saw it...

i'm out. gotta do some packing!

10 more days! actually, 9 1/2, cuz 1/2 is almost over!

RideMax is supposed to have a moneyback guarantee and has good reviews on the DL board. I guess we'll see in a week. It tells you what time to get to the ride, how long your wait will be and how long to walk to the next ride. It also builds in free time. I feel that if it helps us get on at least some of the rides with as little wait as possible (DS hates to wait) it will be worth the $14.95.

that's definitely a good 'deal'; even eliminating some of the wait will be worth it!!!

good morning! where's everyone this morning? 9 more days!

 

[CamColt]

Wow! What a list, Arlene! Thanks for a great job keeping this organized.

I'm here, Susie. I should probably be ironing or planning or packing or something, but....

Hi Katie:

My pleasure ......plus it helps me keep screen names and the real names in my mind with minimal brain effort. Right now....need the brain to focus on packing. Still sorting out my luggages - the only thing I can say I am done packing are the goodies for our gift bags Soooooo.....you can easily recognize me on board - I am the one pulling the rolling mickey cooler full of the goodies.

There is too much action on this thread in the morning - I just can't keep up. Do you think we can get to page 100 before next Saturday, Aug 13. That would be a hoot!!!
