I'm going to Disneyland!

Nice!

I'll be there, camera and a couple lenses in tow. I'm not doing anybody's makeup, though.

I swear, I don't think this trip could get any cooler even if they unfroze Walt and brought us into the apartment for milk and churros with him.

One week to go. Other than the Mansion being 101, I think things are fairly well in hand... Here is our tentative timeline for Saturday which has been substantially revised since earlier in this thread...

7:30am Arrive at DL entry gates.
8:00am Early Entry - beat feet for FantasyLand
8:30am Pan, Dumbo,Toad, and if time allows: Snow,Alice,Pinocchio,Canal boats
9:00am ""
9:30am ""
10:00am Castle walk though/Main Street Vehicle / Head for DCA
10:30am ""
11:00am Red Car to Hollywood Tower Hotel Stop (close to Aladdin)
11:30am Aladdin Show (11:55 start)
12:00am ""
12:30pm ""
1:00pm ""
1:30pm Cathcay Ressies for me and mom
2:00pm ""
2:30pm Head for Cars Land
3:00pm RSR/Tires, etc...
3:30pm "
4:00pm "
4:30pm "
5:00pm Soarin/Cross Back to DL
5:30pm Lilly? and/or Train to Adventureland
6:00pm Splash/Pirates/Thunder
6:30pm "
7:00pm Blue Bayou Group Dinner ressies
7:30pm "
8:00pm "
8:30pm Fantasmic Seating
9:00pm Fantasmic Show
9:30pm Fireworks (from Fantasmic seats)
10:00pm Train to Tomorrowland
10:30pm Buzz/StarTours
11:00pm Exit Park
11:30pm "
12:00am Close

Which works out walking approximately:
1 Mile before lunch.
1.2 Miles between lunch and dinner
and
0.8 miles from Dinner back to the hotel.

We don't make the 4pm parade, but it's still a fairly full (but not to strenuous) day. We will need seat savers for the 11:55am Aladdin plus FP's for: RSR (x2 hopefully), Soarin, Splash, Thunder, and StarTours.

But this is the Internet. Anything with "cat" in it has to be better.

Just let us know where you need us to run. Only thing I see is the RSR timing. Fastpasses go quickly and I'm not sure what the timeframes are.

So far, people have been let into DCA for early entry an hour before the FastPass machines are turned on which leads to a long, long, long, line at the RSR fastpass machines. Saturday will be the FIRST day at DCA with no early entry since the opening of carsland. So with Kevy and Susan joining you early...

From what I have been able to gather, the return time for RSR is (as with all other FP attractions) not enforced. So the exact times on the passes is not critical. The exception being that return times are sometimes checked after the first WoC until DCA close.

Unless your return time is later than you planned on being there. They don't enforce the END of return times, but they do enforce the BEGINNING. (so if your return time is between 9:45PM and 10:45PM, you can show up at 11:00PM, but not 3:00PM).

This was the potential problem I was trying to point out. It's a crap shoot when you get into line what time you'll end up getting.
