I want to thank GoofyJoe for the wonderful pin RAK. I received it today and it made a very stressful night at work a whole lot brighter! The grape soda pin is already attached to my backpack. 😃 Thank you so much for your generosity!!!
It has pieces of fresh raspberries baked into the moist chocolate cake, and it's also filled with a chocolate mousse as well as another type of cream or mousse...I'm assuming it's raspberry. Flavor stacked on flavor! It was divine. - Sugarbaker271.9 #813 2-28-12 1:47PMLike(1) Reply
It's a sad day at Disneyland. Ernie, the guitarist in NOS, passed away this afternoon. I will never forget the many hours I sat listening to him create beautiful music, and the warm smile he was so generous with. Thank you, Ernie, you wil More...
This is horrible news and I am sad that he had to go. I used to watch him play on a daily basis while working in NOS. When he was done with his set, he had to climb the stairs of Court of Angels and I used to keep an eye on him while he climbed the stairs while carrying his guitar and his stool. He's been at the park since day 1 and not seeing him in the park was a rarity. Also, he was one of the last CMs to get hired by Walt himself. He's also played with jazz legends and even performed with Frank Sinatra. We have lost not only a Disney legend, but a music legend. - BaseballMickey_CM2863.7 #16 2-23-12 5:57PMLike(8) Reply

ok, but what if at the time it was open when you went on it and updated the time and the ride broked down or closed after you left ??

If it breaks down after you update, you can update again to show it's closed. Or the next person who comes along can update the closure. Your initial update would have been correct at the time that you boarded. In the case of Lincon today, I went into the gallery and noted that the doors to the entrance of Lincoln were closed. I wandered outside a few minutes later and saw the front entrance to the attraction was closed, complete with a sign and two CMs at the door. I opened MW to check the time and at that exact minute someone updated it as 6 minutes, which shows that they were not by the attraction but instead were guessing. - Sugarbaker 271.9 #813 1-26-12 2:12PM
