I like the emissary idea. Send them about 10 minutes ahead to pow wow with the CM so that by the time the rest of us arrive, we'll have an idea what we're doing.

I like the idea of the carrousel being the destination of our storming of the castle - of course, there's an event in front of the castle at 10:00 - do you suppose the castle enterance will be open by then?

If so, there could always be the storming of the Wishing Well

"Have fun storming the castle!"

Sorry, it had to be said. You bring up an interesting question there. We could always storm the castle to begin the attraction quest...

Ah, but you know the castle will be blocked off well before the event - probably at opening.

1. I picture it somehow will make babies and puppies cry.

2. Much like say filling a boat and sinking it, it pegs too far on the Geekometer for my comfort level, and I hate to run at redline. Preserve the motor I always say. Not that I'm not one for occasionally rowing through the gears.

3. I'm afraid of horsies?

We're not trying to "sink" the carousel... just fill it

NM-Geeks know not fear of Geekiness. It's a sort of freedom, really- not caring what other people think, worrying that you're a little 'off', etc. You, NM, are not a total Geek. You do have possibilities, grasshopper- you flirt with Geekiness, periodically popping in to state how very unGeeky you are, but the phrase "methinks he doth protest too much' springs to mind.... This weekend may be Your Test.:evil:

I guess I will have to make a trip on over to the horses. Count us in for 2 or 3. :D

Just for fun: here's a little something you can print up and iron on a t-shirt
