I guess it is better that we were parked on Goofy than say Minnie but still walking up all those steps up to Mickey (the little Goofy escalator was still working) was a bit reminiscent of my days walking up the Sun Pyramid in Mexico, but I digress. We got to the park at about 3:30 PM. It was raining very hard the down escalators were working but as stated before the up ones were not. As we were entering the park people were coming out of it as if it were closing time, but that wasn't till 8PM. Needless to say that despite our late entry we had no problems with crowds in the park. Most people hung out in the stores and under archways but by 5PM there wasn't much of a need to do that. Despite the fact that the rain stopped at 5PM the crowds didn't seemed convienced that it wasn't about to pelt them again and in general never really seemed to get out of the stores. For the rest of us who were not tricked into believing we were made out of sugar, got to go on the attractions at will. It had been a long while since we went into Fantasyland and since most of the stroller crowd had exited we did all but Alice in Wonderland. Also, despite the rain I still enjoyed a Dole Whip. Not much really to report but it was another fun day. <a href="http://www.peeaanuut.com/gallery/Another-Day-at-DL-2-27-06" target="_blank">http://www.peeaanuut.com/galle ry/Another-Day-at-DL-2-27-06</a>

Originally Posted By Elderp Perhaps I remember wrong but then we did a lot of indoor stuff. I do remember exiting at 7PM and not using the hood of my jacket so it couldn't have been all that bad. The tram ride was cold though.

We too were there on the 27th and were in the parks until 3pm when the heavens broke open but what a great morning we had. Left early on the 28th and we can't wait to get back there. The weather was cooperative beforehand and it was perfect to us as we are from Victoria BC just above Seattle so we can understand the web-feet feeling!
