Oh, and for you Monorail Pilots, we were running on AMVS Override the whole time. Driving with a red upper display: Fun. Driving with a BLUE upper display: Awesome!
I'm guessing here (would appreciate clarification) that AMVS override is some sort of visual operating mode rather than the standard MAPO blocks. I'm assuming 5 is far more than normal for epcot (probably 3-4 normally?)

Just a guess....

The bane of my existence is back. :( It came back the other day. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with it much myself yet but I've heard coworkers complaining about it.


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.

So I can bring in my Annual Pass for a free pin since it includes parking correct?

You're right. During the last promotion I remember some guests that got annoyed because they were either resort guests or APs so got free parking. Haven't seen it yet myself this time but I'm sure some of my coworkers have.

Knock on wood but it hasn't been so bad this time. I'm thinking that's because we worked out the kinks the last time, Frontier Trading post is also doing it this time, and because of the deals right now there are more guests staying at the resorts instead of off-property so less people having to pay to park.

But since I know you you can still get me the pin for free since I am an Annual Passholder AND a shareholder.
