Fill the Caroussel on Disneyland's Birthday!

Don't forget that we stood in line for Pan last year at noonish-- and we were hot and tired by that time. And it wasn't even the 50th. And we weren't all there at opening.

Not to be pessimistic-- but I think we should be realistic. Chances are, people WILL be cranky at us. This doesn't mean I think we shouldn't attempt the carousell-filling. Actually, I think there may well be enough geeks in this crew (don't forget-- word of mouth, and all of the big sites are having meets at noon. And we probably can fill at least half of the carousel with LoT alone) so there may be more than a full load of carousel-riders.

Well, I think a combination of Option 1 and 2 would work best. That is, sending emissaries on ahead, but having everyone be in the queue, under the lame, view-blocking, purple sunshade. We will be careful about letting the correct number of people file past us - - and if there are any overages, I will explain the reason for their having to wait one more turn of the Carousel.

As in all things, we will have to be as spontaneous and maliable as is possible with a large group.

For instance, if the Castle is not open at Park opening, and ditto Peter Pan, then we are going to have to time our storming the Castle and Peter Pan ride very carefully indeed. We will work around all obstacles and rarely admit defeat - - but will surrender with grace, if necessary, to preserve the harmony and happiness of the day.

We'll definitely have a full load. I believe we currently have about 45 people on the list at MiceChat already.

Seriously, can I have you once Zap's done with you? Or at least borrow your wit and humor to carry me through my days?

Lol, Erica- I read iSm's post and thought "He is a true Zenarchist".

Ha! I beg to differ. Last I saw him at the park, he was attempting to get photos of each of the 50 hidden mickeys. That's just one piece of evidence I have against him...

We keep referring to this as NA's dream, but wasn't it €'s idea?

According to him, nada.

And, you think he would let a great idea like this not be credited to him if it was truely his idea? He'd send the intellectual property lawyers after me in a ssecond!
