Question... if I go in the morning and get a hand stamp to come back later and it's filled to capacity am I allowed to get back in? Thanks! - MrsSchnooks572.1 #193 5-20-13 1:38PMLike Reply
That's the same question my best friend wants to know. I also want to know if we will still be able to park hop if the parks are at capacity. - NotNKansasAnymor 174.0 #1942 5-20-13 1:48PM
We live close so it's nice to go in the morning then take a break and come back later. I just plan on doing a lot of people watching. - MrsSchnooks 572.1 #193 5-20-13 1:51PM
Interesting. I know in the past during busy times they would ask the passholders to get their hands stamped if they planned to return later. That should be the policy they use because essentially you're stuck in that one park, if you exit you can't get back in if they are at capacity and you will be unable to park hop for the event if it hits capacity. That kinda takes some of the mojo out of it especially with a lot of the rides closing around 2 or 3 am. - NotNKansasAnymor174.0 #1942 5-20-13 5:45PMLike Reply

Fact: Häagen-Dazs does not mean anything. Doris Hurley, daughter of founders Rueben and Rose Mattus, reported in the PBS documentary An Ice Cream Show (1999) that her father sat at the kitchen table, in 1961, for hours saying nonsensical words until he came up with a combination he liked. The reason he chose this method was so that the name would be unique and original. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint1791.9 #42 5-14-13 4:21PMLike(5) Reply

We went to this. It was actually pretty cool.
