Also, at DCA they don't have fastpass so they can put him out front and entertain guests getting in the queue or already in the extended queue.

My idea of cleaning up when my mother made me, was to shove everthing under the bed.
Originally Posted By Rebekah If these were my toys and I had the Midway Games playset I could see using my crayons, board games, tinkertoys and such to create the queue leading to the playset. Then my other toys (my plastic animals - favorite of mine had hundreds and hundreds) would walk through that queue and Mr Potato Head would be calling out to them as they passed by. This is the imagery that came to my mind as I strolled through the line. I don't think its under Andy's bed or his toy box as both are visible in the load area I just think its his bedroom floor by his bed. The Lincoln Log building with the 3-D glasses obstructs the FastPass queue from fulling seeing Mr. Potato Head. They'll probably be able to hear him briefly. The FastPass queue does get a sneak peek into the loading area. Doobie and I still haven't the opportunity to do a true head to head. Last time through he beat me but we were trying to hit a particularly challenging target rather than just see how much we could score. We'll have to do a head-to-head competition though. Rebekah.
