The last time we were there in May, he got lots of attention from the characters. There was a table of just adults next to us and and the characters spent a lot of time there too. I think your daughter will have a great time!

Spring break is over and kids are or should be in school. I am anticipating Sat. to be busy so I think we are going to do DTD, the pool and Storytellers that day. I think the weather is usually pretty warm at that time of year. Food and Wine festival is going on that weekend as well.

We will be at DL on the 11th - 17th and have similar plans for Saturday as I agree that DL will be very crowded. Since Sunday is Mother's Day, some people have mentioned that it gets somewhat crowded on that day too. Maybe we will have to go back to the hotel to watch the cup race?....LOL. I think the other days will be slower as far as crowds since Spring Break will be over like you said. From what I have read, it is a pretty good time to go. Hope you have a great time!

Originally Posted By godalejunior Oh yes, the name gave me away. We are Nascar fans, going to Vegas for the race next weekend. Love that Dale Jr.
Originally Posted By disneyfan4ever54 Oh, I am SO jealous. We have always wanted to go to Vegas to see one of the races.

Dale Jr. has had such bad luck so far this year....things totatally out of his control (as Kasey has had also). Hope things get better for both of them soon! I just hated to see both of their engines blow up this past week...That was so unfortunate. :-(

Originally Posted By disneyfan4ever54 Yes, Kasey is really good looking ....His commercials with the girls going crazy over him just crack me up. Are you sure you can't squeeze us in for the trip to Vegas....PLEEZE?
Originally Posted By godalejunior I think this is our sixth year going to Vegas.

I am excited about the changes they made to the track and the garage area (similar to Daytonas). Those commercials crack me up. My current favorite is the Sadler and Johnson one with the Nextel trophy. My husband is a Johnson fan. We still want to go to Bristol today but it seems like you need to refinance your home to be able to afford tickets. Ha. Ha.
Originally Posted By disneyfan4ever54 We would love to be able to travel to see a race, but unfortunately our income can't handle all our Disney trips AND Vegas.....LOL....so I guess we may have to wait to see if they end up buiding a track here in WA. They did an interesting spread on it on NASCASR today....all the politics going on and how much we need a track here. My DS's favorite commercial is the same as yours! I love it too! Their acting and facial expressions are so funny. I hope you make it to Bristol some day, but the plane fare and tickets alone....ouch! Have fun in Vegas!
