They are. They're on a wall of the building that many guests don't even go near anyway, though it is a guest area, which also helps to keep them safe.


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.

Actually doesn't aren't really that high up. I'll have to get a better picture of where they are next time I'm there.

They aren't high up, but they are out of the way enough that most guests should never notice them. Plus, there is enough going on nearby with certain departments that if you think you're gonna get away with touching them, think again.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Is that the same department responsible for the scraggly guy taking a nap on the planters? :twisted:

You may still plan & do the above DM. You aren't scraggly. ;)

That was my second option after Maui.

You mean you'd save the guest room for me? :D: j/k, I'm glad you're in agreement that it doesn't sound too bad- Premium Pass and a Corndog daily is much less cost than Nursing Home!
