Next time time you want a "REAL" chimichanga ktulu,stop in the Old Pueblo when you're headin west on I-10, and we'll hit El Charro's or Michas...........My treat. :cool:

Rumor has it that MS has an 'in' at Michas. ;)

For a grab it quick and eat it chimi, it'll do. It's not the best I've had, but it is the best in Disneyland ;)

When the line to the little red wagon is insane, and you only have 5 minutes before you have to leave, the chimi will do!

Did anyone else make it to this event? I was there on the 29th to get my conmemorative ears and t-shirt, also to play the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game, earlier in the day. That night, I came back, just before midnight, to link up with a group of people from http://www.insidethemagic.net to go on some rides and to walk around the park. I finally headed home at 4:00 A.M. on the 1st.

I stayed as much as possible with a few trips out to take care of things off property. It was exhausting by the end of it. By the end there were maybe a few dozen people with the free ears.

Because of my work schedule, I went to sleep about 6:00 Wednesday night, got up about !:00am and arrived at MK at 3:00am. The Parking lot seemed full. There were about a hundred people getting off the monorail at MK station at 3:00am.

I met up with my grandnephew and some of his friends and we ran around until 6:00 when the singing ended at The Hub.

Went to the Perkins on 192 West of Main Gate for breakfast and go to AK about 15 minutes before my shift started.

I was unable to get one of the special buttons, but I was able to get one of the last of the shirts.

When I went into City Hall to try to get a button, I did complain to a manager that all the Main Gate lights were off, so you could not see any of the Characters or Signs.

Yep, that's pretty much how ours ended up. First time walking back to the CM parking lot was FASTER than taking the shuttle. The sheer chaos was like Grad Nites and Christmas season combined!

I work 8 am to 8:30 pm on the 29th. It started calm until 4 pm. Modern Family was taping their show through out the park. It was nice for the film crew to block off BTRR and our food cart. The guests could buy food, but they could not go pass the cart. Around 8 pm, the park was a royal zoo. Allot of crowds and cranky folks. Traffic was a nightmare. It took me 20 minutes from K-Lot to get to Harbor Blvd. Pass the convention center and it was smooth sailing. :D:
