My schedule kinda depends on what they give me at work... I usually find out on Wed for the following week. But outside work, I'm free pretty much any day, at least in the afternoons, except Wednesdays (class all day ).

Alright! Glad to hear it's finally opened, and I can't wait to ride it when I get to DL in just 10 days. It'll definitely be the first attraction I will ride when I get there.

A meet sounds like fun...But Cal is soon going to only have Sundays off, so thats gonna be the day for us...We are supposed to go on Wednesday...this is his last week with that day off....If you guys want our cell, just PM me, and maybe we can hook up something...It would be great to finally meet Shanen and DCAFan too! Oh, and Merlin of course..the last time, we just couldnt connect!
And Maria! When are you coming???

 

[RU42]

Well, we can move dates around and at different times hit different days.

Just a note for folks, there is a thread dedicated to meets in this Disneyland Resort section.

I made it out to DL today for awhile and had a chance to try Big Thunder - it's back and running great!!! The lines are back as well; it doesn't seem like people are too scared off from it (other than hearing a few nasty jokes while I was in line). No sign of the new train today, I'm not sure if it's ready yet, though.

Just as a side note - Spring Break crowds are here! I was surprised to see it as busy as it was today, especially a Tuesday this early in the Spring Break season. Waited over an hour for HM! They actually extended the park hours to 10 pm, making the announcement overe the PA system early in the afternoon. So for anyone going soon, be prepared!

[RU42]

Wow, crowds already - that is surprising that it is this bad that early.

Glad to hear BTMRR is running well! I can't wait to get back on it.

BTMR

Nothing really that new..except saw a lot of new looking break/lim combo gizmos all over the track.

The water effect (splash) is totally in full effect (maybe a little too much, it looked like people got wet)...

Someone also said that the goat got a new coat...whatever...

If any of you want to know openings of rides and special Disneyland stuff, you can subscribe, or look at my calendar of fun stuff like that:

Well I was at Disneyland Today
and Thunder Mountain was thundering up some Good business
It was very crowded and moving at a moderate speed.

 

[paulcmartens]

you know...

you know...people have been saying it was slower...but I didn't notice anything...just where was it slower?

 

[xfkirsten]

I heard people say it was slower, too, but quite honestly yesterday it felt faster than usual to me. Maybe it's just cause I haven't been on it since August, though.

Well, I wasn't happy with Disney after I read some more about the accident.

I made a t.shirt.
