But I was wondering if anyone has rich friends that are DL freaks like us?

I noticed that it's been a while since they've updated that site, as it touts the Joules Verne TL architecture, and makes no reference to Monsters Inc in the northern HPBL section. What I want to know is how much it would cost to get a private showing of Fantasmic!, and why do they only let 7,000 people watch, when the normal capacity is 15,000? (Not like I would have the extra 8,000 people to invite, but just sort of wondering).

The Dapper Dans were dressed up like the un-dead and sang all minor note songs. Very fun!

We had seen Paul McCartney in DCA earlier that day and wondered if he was the reason. I am not sure if this is common, but needless to say we were VERY excited! Has anyone else had this happen?
