hey all, finally time to fly by and say hi!

Yes, it was unseasonably cold in FL, we did get to squeeze in last two days @ RP's pool, complete with 'refill' on Miami vice drink that is obligatory when I plop into an lounger there. Fun to run the parks with Marcie and shut down sweet tomatoes lol. Mac that was a photopass pic.

Decided I'm not a fan of PoP for various reasons, will head back to AS Mo or Mu when the need arises. Settled upon a tower #1 3rd floor suite right off the lobby @ RP, turned out to be very convenient and quiet despite being near housekeeping/elevator.

I should design t-shirts & hawk on etsy: "I survived USO's 1st-ever capacity day". That would be if I wasn't this close to being done with Universal parks.

Consider myself lucky to get out of the USO in one piece on FoB day, taking over 1-1/2 hours due to U having absolutely zero crowd control in place. They admitted that fact freely the next day when I stopped at guest services, using the excuse they reached capacity for the first time in 25 years of operation...so they had no past precedent from which to operate.

Not acceptable for it to happen, an emergency exit route/dedicated lane to exit should always be in place at an amusement park and be staffed adequately. I do plan on contacting them in writing to express my thoughts when I cool down a bit longer. Will be posting a quick review.

Lol......hotter than Rick????

Wow......can't wait.........."must refrain from googling" I like to be surprised........... On episode 6 season 6 I think tonight.........

Hope you enjoying your days off........have some chill time!!

 

[schumigirl]

Yay.........Janet is back........but oh my.......that sounds awful to experience! Yep, no excuses.........

Refills sound good though........

Look forward to your review, warts and all! Nice to have you back though...........

 

[tink1957]

Welcome back Janet...sounds like it was a good thing I didn't get to see fob...can't wait to hear about it though.

Carole...you can judge for yourself since hotness is in the eye of the beholder.

HI Keisha! Good to see ya back in one piece. I'd hate to be in any park or place that's reached capacity. Was scary enough parting the masses at CityWalk when we decided to have Christmas dinner at Margaritaville. Let's just say, not looking to do that this Christmas. I would have expected crowds with FOB. Even my kids wanted to skip school to see them. Uni should have had better crowd control when they have these free concerts.

 

[keishashadow]

I've started, need to stop & go dig up a flame-proof suit before continuing me thinks. One thing anyone who knows me, will agree...I call them as I see them.

Too bad you don't know a guy that could make that happen fer ya!

We've been there numerous times when IOA maxed out...and when that happens, within an hour Studios would become armpit-to-armpit crowded. Of course,they still let people keep coming in!

With Gage graduating HS this spring, he and I will hopefully get to make a few more "Slow-season" trips to Orlando...(assuming I can still keep making the huge bank I do!

they kept proclaiming it was the first time 'ever' they reached capacity at studios. You can imagine how crowded that was. I don't have an actual # as they refused to divulge it to me when I inquired the next day...can't imagine the magic number.

WHew long day-needed that 1/2 day minion today -texted my friend at 1030 this morning asking if it was too early to drink and if it was worth losing my job for a 3 martini lunch. I swear there has been more drama in my office daily (of supposed adults) than my 2 teen GIRLS combined have in a week. My kids have thicker skin and more rational thinking as well...

Lol.....I know that "no desire" feeling well!! Most days........lol........

You have chickens??? I'm kinda scared of chickens a little bit........well, not scared just never been around a live one.........do you name them?

Yeah my chickens (only 3 so far) all have first and middle names - and nicknames too. Mostly I call them by their nicknames: Meany; stupid chicken; and spoiled rotten princess. Stupid chicken managed to find her way over the fence into my raised bed garden today. Fine now-till away little chicken feet-but she is gonna be in the stew pot if she destroys my garden once it is planted (well not really but she won't be allowed to roam as freely)

Daryl has the hearts of many viewers....

Yes he does

@keishashadow following the trip report! I can't imagine what capacity is like on a concert day!

 

[macraven]

i would have been back sooner to post and tell janet glad she is back but with her putting that link in, i had to read her trippie first....

happy you are back with us.

back!



yea, you tell them as you see them.
i did notice you used language that was acceptable on the dis.
good girl...

yea that is what i thought when buckeev posted he has been there when it has maxed out.
i've only been in the park once when it reached capacity and also with hhn hitting their limit allowed in.
but at hhn, they let some in once others leave.

a few years back that happened after christmas.
park/studios at capacity and no one could enter...

i remember reading about that and also when potter first opened.
those pictures of the crowds that were in line.....and they waited and waited as it hit capacity in the park.

whatever the case, glad you weren't hurt when the trampling started.
