You don't have to ride with us, even, if you don't feel like getting wet. You could just come by and say "Hi." Let's meet in that little area where the Miner 49'ers play, okay? I'll be coming straight from work, so I can't guarantee to be there early, but I'll try.

Originally Posted By alexbook To everybody who showed up, I wish to offer: (a) thanks. We had a much bigger crowd than I was expecting. We came up 1 person short of 2 full boats. (b) apologies. It was stupid of me not to realize that the queue was going to be a long one. I think we spent just about an hour in line. Still, everybody seemed to have a good time, and we certainly did get wet, which was nice on a hot day. I'm sure to get this wrong, so somebody correct me, but here's who I think was there: Shiva and Tinkeroon WestWind and family TINK-MOBILE LuLu poohbear14 x Pirate_Princess x disneylandfan8 and Cody me a mystery guest to be revealed later somebody I've forgotten -- I'm so sorry! Afterwards, a bunch of us went off to Whitewater Snacks, where murfsmom and her granddaughter caught up with us. From there, some of us went to Toy Story Midway Mania. When I left, the gang was hanging out in Paradise Pier, waiting to watch "the back side of color."
