And yet... No never mind. Kettles are why we had so much fun... :cool:

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck on the search.

I had a 1 year pass (with parking without most weekends) with a prior GF. I know how to do the park in a day. With the new system, the park is do-able on a max out day.

There was one day (before California Adventure and Downtown Disney) when friends and I were invited there. We got in, saw crowd, and rode Monorail to bar. I spent $60 for the privelege to drink and ride the Monorail. :mad: This was the beginning stages of my hating the general public.

That's how I've been able to do Disneyland - both my trips to DL were one-dayers; first time, I hit all of DL up in a day. The next time, I managed all of California Adventure in a day, even after going to an Angels game that afternoon). Saturdays in September were quite kind to me both times.

Former GF and I figured out Sunday nights after 6 were pure gold for Disneyland.

belynch, where are you staying?

Sheraton :rolleyes: Cypress.

It's a hotel everyone loves to hate, but this is probably my 20th stay and, despite the gaudy lobby, I don't mind it.

I've worked on many projects that interfaced with both German and Singapore based colleagues. It was nothing but a huge PIA seeing as I wasn't in Hawai'i, checking my email at 4am. I was waking up the guys at Dunkin' in :rolleyes:ville to make me my coffee.

aloha box. Restaurant screwed up my supper so they bought me a lot of drinks. And the bartender (female) was hitting on me. yadda, yadda, yadda, I'm drunk. :-:

I offer an advanced course. Would you like to sign-up?

(WARNING: final exam involves flying US via PHL. Not for the amateur)

Well, as the Boss once sang, I'm going to head down to the well tonight and I'm going to drink until I get my fill.

Later Box!

The routing goes: drive from N. Jersey to PHL. US PHL - MCO. The return is:
MCO - CLT - DCA - PIT - LGA - PHL.

Nothing but Zone 12 and middle seats.

I've seen grown men turn into Kettles after the layover in MCO.

Say it again: MONORAIL. What's that name? MONORAIL.

I would imagine that it includes checking a bag at the point of origination, allowing a 30 minute change at PHL from A-West to F, and getting your bag back at the destination.
