Okay, uploaded some good pics of the fact book I mentioned above, click the thumbs for the full-size:

I've been lucky enough to see the real thing. It's really well put together!

I have several real ticket books. Maybe I should scan the suckers.

No need to, I just found this little treasure trove of old ticket books.

Ok, taking over the entire carrousel is SO not going to be a problem. We just had 30 people at a MiceChat meet yesterday, and more are slated to attend future meets. We just need to figure out a time. :D

If it's to be on the 16th, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it for afternoon or evening! My flight got moved and I won't get in until around 2:00 pm. We're going into John Wayne, so we can grab a taxi and get to the hotel (Park Inn) pretty quick.

I just made the final payment on our trip- yeah!!!

I'm broke, but at least it's paid for!:D

I was hearing predictions of capacity being reached by 10am... Now I'm reading that people are planning on lining up at midnight the night before... And I'm wondering...how in the heck is DL mass of people control going to handle this? Are they actually going to allow the mass line-ups over night in the Esplanade? Will they keep bag check (as much of a sham that it is) open all night? Or will the celebration be limited to the drop off areas and DTD... Anyone know? Anyone want to take a random guess? Anyone else wondering this?

You know, you guys, the more I read about the speculative 50-hour posts, the more I wish I would be in town in July. Nothing says PARTY like deliberate (and brute force) insomnia coupled with heady Disney-esque camaraderie.

The consolation would be that we do plan to be in Paris later in the fall, and money-permitting, an Orlando holiday early next year.

July 17 is blocked out for Deluxe APs. Has this been the case in previous years? I'm guessing it's due to the anticipated large crowds.
