Heck yeah...I will go even one step further and act confused and shocked if they try to take 'em away.

Yeah... Every time I told them I was supposed to keep them (almost always in a quizzical voice) they took them away. So that's not such a good idea. From personal experience.

I'll only do that if they actually start to take them away so there's nothing to lose...last resort!

Hey Max,

are you almost ready to post your next installment?

That's what I always did too. It just makes them read the small print.

Hey Max,

are you almost ready to post your next installment?

I'm actually typing it now. It should be up tonight.

Max,

I got a question for you. How long was the time in Walt's apartment? From your report, it sounds like just the time it takes for the Lilly Belle to take one lap around which is 20 mins. I hope it is a nice long look and full tour up there.

I added day 2, the Universal Studios VIP tour to my blog with way too many pics

 

[jacksparrowfan]

Lots of pictures are good! Loved the sign too. Feivel...funny! Looks like the VIP tour is something to look into.

Less than 12 hours to go till we drag out butts out of bed and get ready for our flight (ugh!). I checked a week's worth of our flight records, and it looks like it will be smooth with the exception of one day when they veered the route over the ocean and took an extra hour! Six and a half hours is bad enough...not sure if I can handle that much more. Oh well, with the time difference we will be landing quite early either way.

My husband is the packer in our household, but I have all my clothes chosen and my dinner reservations for CA made. We'll probably just chill tomorrow until it's time to meet the group. I think there is a California Pizza Kitchen near the hotel, so we'll probably do lunch there. I love CPK but have never actually eat it in California!

The Hollywood part will be somewhat lost on me as I am not a star-struck person, but seeing the Disney and Henson studios will be more than enough to keep me busy and content till we get to DL/DCA.

Have a great time folks!!! Only 110 days till my adventure!!!

May all of you on the maiden voyage have a trip sprinkled with pixie dust
and all those magical moments we all dream off.

Great post, Brad! Can't wait to hear about today, and I'm on the edge of my chair waiting for the Adventure to officially start!

Have fun everyone!!

It's actually around a 25 minute lap when all is said and done. Also, the apartment is very small, so you'll have more than enough time to see everything there.

Hopefully the last day of the tour will be up tonight. If I can write it fast enough!

I've been reading this thread with interest! You all have a great time and looking forward to those trip reports when you get back!

I know I am very spoiled. I have been lucky enough to go to Walt's apartment once before. When I went a couple years ago, there was only 4 of us and it ended up being a 90 min tour of the place going over all the little details and stories.


To everyone whose trip officially begins tomorrow, have a great time! I want to see more trip reports and pictures! Have a great time!

I've actually been out of a computer for the past few days, but I'm almost done with it now. Be prepared for some amazement in the next 30 minutes!

Dose this mean I can stop checking the thread 5 times a day waiting for more updates from you Max?

Brad, really enjoyed reading about your day at WB studios. How much did that VIP tour cost you?

Wow, the adventurers are probably at the Welcome dinner right now. How exciting.
