Re: SG planning on buying extra days to park hop

Too often people see "5 day ticket" and they think of it as 5 individual credits for admission, like it were a 5-ride ticket for the subway. I like to explain that a 5-day ticket gives you admission for 5 separate *calendar* days. The Base Ticket only gets you into 1 park per calendar day....

The dress, etc are pulled down by stagehands into an open trap immediately behind her.

And, yes, BRW, way too much time on their hands. :p:

The mechanical part of it is impressive, though most of the modeling work was not his own. The buildings and floats are the (rather expensive) ones you can get in the parks.

Re: If you can't read a schedule, I probably don't want to work with you

I could see *maybe* being thrown by the "week starts on Monday, not Sunday" for your first week there. But after one "whoopsie", they should know better.

Confrontation in the Star Tours queue

OK, so here is the first of two long-and-involved SGTs from my recent trip... (Careful, I get long-winded) First off, is there anyone on here that currently works Star Tours? (You can PM me, if you like) So while visiting the Studios, my friend John and I were waiting in line for Star Tours. (As an ...

Re: Only days away....

Rob, somehow I missed this thread until right now. I hate when that happens. I would love to have had you go out and pester Little Wallaby for me. She would have loved it. There simply must be a next time. BW, I may be back down in January to cheer for my co-worker who's running the WDW Marathon (a...

Re: Only days away....

Well, the trip has come to an all-too-quick end. (Where the heck did 8 days go?) Not quite home yet, as I'm visiting family in Virginia until Monday. I'll eventually post two SGT's in the WDW forum in the upcoming days, one which could have resulted in serious bodily harm to the SG, the other involv...

Yeah, but the door opens outward on that one... Far less of a challenge. :)

Only days away....

Well, I'm only an occasional lurker, an even less-often poster, but I relish all of the SGT stories posted on here. At last, the on-again-off-again trip that a friend and I have been trying to make happen for years is upon us. We head down to WDW on Thursday for the upcoming "most magical weeke...

Re: Another Discussion From Board x How many can fit in a Doom Buggy

Well, this actually isn't new behavior, and not just from teenagers. Back in the 50's, and maybe before then, there was a fad of seeing just how many people you could stuff into a small space: Phone booths , VW Bugs, and the like. Good, clean, wholesome fun! I had three not-small friends whose goal...
