AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some person on MouseTimes.com just pissed me off! Allright, so I get a PM from the lead Admin saying

Quote
International Fiasco!

Oh no! We have a crisis on our hands!

(If you'd prefer the summed up version, skip to the bottom of the PM, but for a more entertaining venue, please continue reading.)

Well, due to the "Idea Contest Idea Thingy Contest What's It Called..." Forum, Jahan has said that we should do something extra productive by removing the subthreads within the International Parks and Disney Cruise Line areas....

(If you'd prefer the summed up version, skip to the bottom of the PM, but for a more entertaining venue, please continue reading.)

So What I wanted to ask of you two to do is to label any topics that may seem extra super confusing if we mix-and-match them. Example, well there is a Tower of Terror thread in both Paris and Tokyo. Let's make sure we know which one is which if we combine them all into one big pot. Last thing we need is someone looking for Paris but ending up with Tokyo's, and then we get someone going "Woah! Paris has the American Waterfront in WDS?! That's awesome! Let's go tell my friends!"

Then their friends come to me and say "Hey Jerkface, your a dumb >admin edit<!" Then I'll say "tell your friend to read the topic description (Or title in some cases), he's the dumb >admin edit<!"

:) See, It's like Instant Coffee, only Instant Fiasco!

Man, I'm on crack this morning.

Anyway, thanks guys! I really appreciate it.


Oh and incase you want the summed up version of that:
Just make sure that the topic titles/descriptions in the International section create a distinct difference in between resorts. Thanks :)

Those first two rides are insane but look like alot of fun. The topspin is crazy and nothing like the one at Great Adventure, which flips about 5 times or less. haha

So I was going through my Google alerts yesterday and I got this email of one blog that this lady wrote. She actually retold her experience at the park on May 11, 1984. It was kind of sad to read.

Thanks! I have tons of videos (including other Japan videos) on my website...wink wink. It's ashame that when we went to Fujikyu, Dodonpa and alot of other rides were closed, and when we went to Tokyo Disneyland, Space Mountain was closed. And I've been a really huge Space Mountain nerd since I was little...seriously, I have been, I knew the stats and everything about them by age 9, then that escilated to me being a Disney nerd!

Where we going for vacation Chuck?

EDIT: I got it Chuck! I made the vacation. We would fly out to Nashville via Southwest. $116 one way. I haven't researched any lower prices yet. Drive out to Knoxville and visit Dollywood. Thats a 4 hour drive. Then do whatever and drive to Carowinds. Another 4 hour drive. Finish up there and drive to SFOG. Another 4 hour drive. After that, take a trip to Alabama Adventures and ride Rampage! Thats like a 2.5 hour trip. And then fly home out of Birmingham. That flight is about $126 one way into Philly. What do you say to that? Here is the map.

You forgot about the rental car costing an extra $25-$50 a day for being under 25 years old :( it will get you everytime.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

try this site 
www.farecompare.com/maps/myAirportCategoryMap.html?departure=PHL&category=Domestic

but it doesn't list Southwest

FYI signup for a Southwest credit card and add your past southwest flights to get a free round trip
I got a Free round trip to anywhere Southwest flies with the 3 flights I already had and applying for the credit card.
I have a year to use it

www.firstusa.com/cgi-bin/webcgi/webserve.cgi?partner_dir_name=southwest_airlines_ic&page=cont&mkid=6J49

and I'm on course to getting another roundtrip by next year

Sure, I'll drive if you get me there and back.  The money you save on the rental could pay for my flight. You  guys would have to come with the gas money. As well as food and my admission to DW. Don't worry I have a Maxx pass and a  SF season pass.

Honestly,  all those parks seem like day trips to me.  I'd also save Dollyfood until winter when the park looks amazing! 

Tom, thanks for thinking of me as well.

Hey Chuck, you gonna have enough money left for Halloween Horror Nights in October? ;)

btw-  I've decided to add another day onto that trip.  HHN on Saturday and then BGA on Sunday since Ray has the day off.  He should be joining us to on Saturday as well.

You can go Sunday as well if you want or I can drop you off at the airport on the way :)

Its always the weekend of PPP so I think that should put it @ October 6th?  My conference is the entire following week.

I get to the Royal Pacific "early" to prepare ;)

Other than HHN admission, the entire trip is free for me.  I usually have a few people crashing at my room Saturday night.  I get a rental car each year to through my company.
