My little guy has been waiting 3 years to ride Indiana Jones...he was finally tall enough this morning. To top it off, a family handed us their fast passes as we were in line. It was a great start to our day.
Walk off on RSR....was a nice walk with great scenery.
I always have this irrational fear of the ride starting up again randomly as people walk off. - LaTruce1640.3 #45 8-16-12 9:04AMLike(4) Reply

We drove 20 hours to DL in May. To save money I took a cooler with pops, Capri Suns, bottled water, lunchables, little bags of chips, and tons of other snacks so we didn't have to buy any on the road.
