Of course, but it's always seemed the MA days were unseasonably hot, that by some cosmic joke, temperatures were abnormally spiking on MA days.

I'm not at all saying that we are wrong to think it is hot. We're not. It generally is. What was surprisingly wrong is the perception that it is generally hotter than normal. I don't have the actual numbers here at work but I can say say that the median game day high for MouseAdventure is in the upper 70s.

And regardless, this last Sunday was beyond the pale (28 degrees above average high for April 13).

GD: I did look at that, at least with day before and day after, and there was no significant trend. Game day was randomly warmer and cooler than the day before and after. A couple times it was significant but generally it was just a degree or two. If I have time (and am still interested) I'll extend that out to a week tonight.

The heat didn't help. But we just sucked. Nothing ever quite jelled.

I'm just hoping the Fall one is on a date we can do it. I'm getting sick of having to miss every other one.

So Alex, what you're saying is that they've just historically chosen a bad date to hold MA?

Alex · 04-15-2008, 01:26 PM

Not really, the average high for pretty much every day in in March/April and October/November is pretty much "low 70s" and pretty much that's where we've been with a couple major outliers.

I think what we have done wrong is historically we've chosen a bad state in which to hold MA.

Ah yes, that's it. It must be.

No wait... the only alternative (that includes a Disney park) is Florida. NVM.

Minor detail. Alex will find a way around that.
