Originally Posted By FerretAfros I've been in DL a couple times when the wait for the train has been that long (usually at the Toontown/Fantasyland station). It always seems to be when I'm already on the train, so it doesn't affect me, but it seems like we pull into the station and no more than a third of the people in line get on. Then we pull away, and they just stand there waiting. And the "Where's Waldo" was tricky! I found Chip fairly quickly (after I clicked the link to the bigger image), but Dale was well hidden!

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Years ago when being a stock holder meant something, I had a little white card that got me 30% off on my room at the Poly and 10% off tickets. Of course in those days, the Poly was only $60 a night. Wish I had gotten 30% off the room last summer.
Originally Posted By Disneymom443 The only reason I am getting to stay at the Poly is because I'm a CM. Other wise it would be way to expensive. Good picture with Mickey, a very Merry Christmas.

But just by judging by park hours -- many 1 a.m. closings at MK (not including EMH), a return to 2 a.m. on NYE, regular 9 p.m. closings at DAK ... and even unheard of 11 p.m. closings this week over at IOA, one would guess this will be a very good week to 10 day period in O-Town. But looking at all the discounts, including free dining for most of January, it looks like just a typical holiday blip that won't last. Hope everyone is enjoying those over $40 holiday buffets that make Vegas prices look cheap in comparison.

Got a link to the article in question?
Originally Posted By -em >>one would guess this will be a very good week to 10 day period in O-Town.<< One would think but if the lack of crowds yesterday at the Studios I think it's going to come back and bite... I agree the park hours are very good (DAK open till 9!) and the fact they have 2-3 showing of F! a night wonderful but from what I've heard attendance hasn't "been there" as much as they predicted (My guess is the crazy weather both in Orlando and north) course we still have several days to go this week to see if attendance peaks up (and gets some phase closings in) Studios seemed to peak yesterday to no worse than a typical summer day (30-40 min waits) -em
