- On the day that AC cancelled their hangar event so that Marriott could show us a "behind the scenes".... the event was *not* replicated at the RC. People at the RC woke up at 8am just to be shown off the housekeeping team for 5 minutes, and then waited for 3 hours while the guests at Marriott had fun with the tour. I actually left as soon as I heard this and went to the Marriott -- it was a LOT of fun, and when the RC people got there at 11 they seem really annoyed... there was nothing to do 8-11 except go to the Aquarium.

There were a lot of snafus (it was my first SMD), but this one was the most annoying.
I'm sure Tommy, Randy and the rest of the FTEF gang would appreciate your constructive feedback.
