Originally Posted By junglejoy Great pics Darkbeer! I'm especially interested because we'll be there next week for the first time in 15 months.

Is it from Country Bears? I never saw that. The one time I tried my 4yr old DD was so freaked out from the scary Bug's Life show that she wouldn't go in a dark theater. The next time we went to DL it was gone...

I am gathering a photo/video policy at the resort, and there are no restrictions in using a flash on the ride, though since there were other guests in the car, it was the only flash photo I took. Common courtesy is just good policy.

I will have to look for them. yes, when will the tarps be off the castle?

With the Twain, is it just resting, or will they be removing the gold trim? Although it looked nice, I think it should go back to looking like a real stern wheeler. Also, the gold on the top of the smoke stacks is all covered in soot, and doesn't look that good anymore.
