I'm going to Disneyland! - Page 57

I have a friend who's run the half for years, I'm checking to see if she has any intel or can point me in the right direction of someone who might actually know to ask.

What time are you trying to do this?

If I remember correctly from last year, the section of Harbor between Katella and Disney Way is only closed on the southbound side and Disney Way is only closed on the westbound side. So if nothing else you probably could just walk a block down tot he corner of Harbor and Disney Way and get picked up there.

I'd suggest calling your hotel and asking. By now they should be old hands at it.

Susan and I are going as well. We have two open spaces if anybody wants to come.

This almost got quoted... luckily I'm not inclined to rude thoughts.

I'll be there in the late afternoon at some point.

Mom talked with Headliner (my daughter) yesterday, it seems she is worried about having a plan in place for Disney....

So Headliner explained to Grandmother in great detail exactly what we mean when we say "We got this covered". Including among other things, our use of satellite imagery to plan paths, waking distances and rest breaks.

Yeah, I think that did the trick.

I'll be at Glowtasmic! tonight, got three spaces. BTW, it's byo ear hats. I predict that there's going to be a lot of people with dead ear hats because they didn't know their batteries would go dead. Maybe I should bring my tiny screwdriver and a bunch of cheap batteries and charge people 5 bucks for on-the-spot repairs!

Do these hats do anything away from the park?

I know it ain't so, but I'd buy a pair if they worked via a WiFi (or 3g) connection so that they lit up with the show no matter where you were. I'd love to have them up on a shelf, see them start blinking and know the show was starting...

Edited to add: Cool, they work via IR. That could lead to all types of fun.

Another site that did a tear down, with a little more technical info in case you're interested.

Throw in a side of ThinKrisps and you can probably get 10 bucks a pop.
