If it is a busy day, you might have to factor in wait times, but even so, on New Year's Day, we waited less than five minutes to enter DCA.

It took over 1.5 hours. We took a taxi back home to POR. NOTHING like that at DLR. You can easily walk from any of the DL hotels to either park.

Do you gaze at it each time you pass over or only once per visit? Sorry... A few weeks ago, I saw a family that, I think, was having a picnic on/near their brick. They were all seated around eating a snack and cleaning it. How sweet.

However, if I paid big money for brick I would definitely take pictures with my brick. Don't think I would picnic with it though.

You also have to add the LP factor, you know, all of my fans who stop me and say "Oh, my Goodness, it's Ursula! Live and in Person! Can we PLEASE have a picture?" Of course I have to stop and meet my new friends, and this has nothing to do with my husband needing a smoke between parks so we actually walk slower. And I once cleaned off a huge streak of chewing gum from my brick.

I don't think I'd go so far as to bring polish for my medallion but it sure would hurt to see my medallion missing.

(Also, maybe forget the idea of an entire different park, but hey I like DCA so no bashing)
