  1. Wow, that’s a lot of closures for the california parks. Sounds like they’re trying to spiffy everything up, though. I can’t imagine what’s going to take 9 months on Finding Nemo (which I’m not a fan of anyway, when we went on it 6 years ago I was pretty unimpressed). That’s a really long refurb for a relatively simple ride. If they don’t kill it off (so many many rumors, I know plenty of people who do like it so I’d hate to see it go) maybe we’ll give it another try next time we’re over there.

    Still, sounds like a good time to go if you’re an AP holder.

  2. Hi,
    I just watched the video of the Christmas version of It is a Small World and thank you so much. It was a delightful.
