Disney and UNI didn't pump up the hours without looking at things like hotel and airline load levels etc ... and if those people couldn't come at last minute you wind up with conditions like what you experienced.

LOL. Bought a nice new Cranbrook last september... No gears, nothing special, just a nice bike. Old fashioned looking, it's decorated in the 50's retro style. (Looks like something from Disneyland! )
