I'm going to guess next week or the week after. It's a little complicated, and will get a LOT booked up, is my guess, but we'll see.

It's as bad as the big pink birthday cake in the MK!

Doen't bother me too much since it's temporary, but I get what you're saying. It's better than the wraps in my opinion and from what I understand each train has a new customized spiel that corresponds with the character.

Minimal theming on the outside, and a non-annoying custom narration. I like it.

We'll see. I'd like our fulfillment folks to have the times wrong, but there's no knowing right now. We'll just have to wait for the next email, check in, etc. They may not have enough room to have all the invited day guests stay for WoC. BTW, letter says check in is 6 am to noon. Parking opens at 6 am.
