I figured you guys would be at such. I kept telling my husband, "poor MAPO"; he knows I feel for you guys. I worked customer service for a long while before I got where I am today (and, technically, now I'm back in more customer service than ever), and I used to work the holidays because it was just hubby & me when other people had children and extended families. I am so sorry for what you're going through this week. But, on the bright side, soon most of the SGs will be leaving.

PS - I have a co-worker down there (just found out Friday he was going for his sister's wedding)....I apologize in advance: he IS a SG (or at least portrays one at work). I am very sorry for your inconvenience. :)

Here at Knott's we heard that DL hit capacity at 11 am.
Knott's gets the overflow on those days and we have been packed the past two days.
There are some great photos of the chaos at DL on the Orange County Register's website.
I feel bad for all the CM's working today. You had to have nerves of steel to work today!

Yeah, I feel like a case zero right now. I'm staggering around like a zombie and keep breathing thru my moth.. And I apparently can't spell. But I'm hopeing I can make it in tomorrow.

Umm, 2008 Christmas Day went Phase 4 with no reopen.

Beats me what the hell is going on...Sunday, DHS loaded only 200 in Fantasmic. Candlelight had more than four times that amount for the last show that night.

I understand MK closed today too (guests told me). I never got a chance to check today LOL...wierd season

I think that sums it up. I heard sunday night EMH at MK was absurdly empty.

Weird is right. DAK was much more crowded today than it's been. Christmas wasn't nearly as busy. Can't wait until the holidays are over and we get back to 5-6 o'clock closings. DAK is supposed to close early, 8-9 o'clock closings and open until 11 with EMH is crazy. A lot of the park closes before 5 anyway because of the animals. I don't see why we stay open so late for only 6 attractions and 2 shows.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I have to say I was really glad for the extra hours at DAK. I had my first chance to ride Everest at night, and it totally rocked!!!
