I would say this is a nice shot of a couple of long shoremen...but....I don't know you that personally.

CM, those pics were great! Last time I was there, the suite wasn't open and the tarp thing was up.

Thanks for the pic of the empty Peter Pan queue. I had to look again to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw!

[RStar]

Nice, Matt! Thanks!

Look at the butt on that..

Yea, he must work out...

:D :p

[Ponine]

okay, so I'm confused, and need you to elaborate.
What was the Dream Hour and why are you "Waiting for the rest of the park to empty"?
I missed something.

[madmonkeygirl]

Dream Hour is a perk of A Year of A Million Dreams again. One of the things you could win...it's a laminate on a laynard. What that entitiles you too is to wait out in the Festival of Fools at closing time for the park to empty out then you are free to go about riding rides after park closing to the general public. It figures they won those on a day i wasn't there...lmao

[MouseWife]

That may not be the most awesome prize to win but it is a damn good one. To walk on Peter Pan??? How about Finding Nemo?

I am happy to hear they won even moreso because they are AP holders.

I was worried that APers never won. But, some others from here have, right?

:( :( I need to renew my pass!!!!!

Oooooooooooooooh, that makes much more sense. Well, you know, it couldnt have happened to a more deserving group of guys.
I am sure they had a good time, and they appeared to have fun.

It'll be your turn someday too MMG. Thanks for explaining.

Actually it was awhole hour but still neat prize if i don't say so myself. I'm sure i will have my chance when i go back to the park but due to my work schedule (working weekends) til April i really have no desire to unless i'm caught up on my housework and it is nice day weather out. Definitely a perk. What was funny is CM was telling me last night that they almost won a second set if they had put their first one away lmao...i find that funny but then again that was a weekday when they went as well...if it had been a weekend i'm sure they would have given out all of the prizes so less of a chance of winning...

I was worried that APers never won. But, some others from here have, right?The way the prize winners are chosen, there is no way to choose a daily pass person over an AP'er. They target a specific location at a certain time and the prize awarders are not given that info until moments before the time - usually just barely enough time to get there (or less).




Or so I have heard.

[madmonkeygirl]

yeah basically i heard it was Brad who spotted the CM giving out the lanyards the first time :) So way to go. That happened with Matt and myself both times we won the DreamFastPass laynards (some kids just got theirs and were screaming) and then the DreamEars well the CM's were so not inconspicuous in a hiding spot like the DreamFastPasses were...they were out in the open...just right time right place...we were walking by to go to the restrooms

GC: "Here comes that cute Captain! All hands on dick!"

:D

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Yeah, GC gets all the credit. ;) Don't mind me!

It was not that great seeing as it was a really slow day at the park. We all were gathered in the former Huntchback arena and were forced to listen to a really BAD dj playing cheesy songs and trying to get everyone to do the "Hokey Pokey" while the park was cleared. It was pure torture.

On a busy summer day, this would be a fine "dream" but a 1/2 hour of "Mambo #5" and High School Music songs is more like a nightmare...

Big thumbs down...

We spotted alot of folks with the lanyards around the park and I wasn't really expecting to win since I haven't won ANYTHING yet. But right by ROA we saw a CM passing them out and we got ours. The big crisis was mine fell off on Splash Mtn while I got in (tight fit) and on the way out there were another pair of CM's passing more out, so I got a 2nd one. Then at the enterence of Splash, the CM had my lost one and so I then had 2.

[Gemini Cricket]

Yeah, I think it was Bornieo who spotted them.

Here's more proof that the Pan queue was empty:

Then at the entrance of Splash, the CM had my lost one and so I then had 2.Did you get to stay twice as late?

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Did you get to stay twice as late?

Nah, fat-asses like me need two. :p
