ToT and RnRC on Monday night, and lights on ERT on Space Mountain Wed AM along with Big Thunder. The convention moves on to Cypress Gardens Thursday and Busch Gardens Friday. An add on day at Wet n' Wild and Islands of Adventure is happening on Saturday, June 24. I just wondered if anyone else will be attending...
