#Throwback Thursday. I dug this photo up while cleaning today. Me at The Mad Hatter circa 2001...this was a work trip. Wonder if these guys will ever see this. If so, sorry! Lol 😂

Pacific Ono Ceviche @ Carthay Circle- avocado, tomatillo-cilantro essence, and crisp plantain chips... $16 before AP discount. Bright, vibrant flavors, with a tangy zest of lime. Highly recommended!

@Alice- it is not hard at all to get a chair once you have been there a while. Before I got my personal wheelchair I had to rent one and we had been in the parks for about 3 hrs. Hope you have a very enjoyable time at the parks! - sweetkat285.6 #698 9-25-11 12:29AMLike Reply

Just an FYI- there is no AP Processing Center inside DL or DCA right now so you have to get the plastic card at a ticket booth. But if you print up the ticket and go to a turnstyle you can get a paper ticket for the day and wait for a more convenient time to get the plastic card. - LilSterner2656.0 #18 9-3-11 11:27PMLike Reply
@Lilsterner - thanks for the info, is it because the Plaza is closed? hmmm...not sure if it would just be better to take the printout straight to the ticket booth before we go in - that way we won't have to leave the park in the middle of the day? Do they still take your picture? I'm confused. - Alicewhoareyou536.3 #210 9-3-11 11:30PMLike Reply

The cat box in DCA is behind the train that serves ice cream. As you walk into condor flats there is a pile of rocks to the right go around the rocks into the seating area for taste pilots. Down by the train wheels there is a gray box with a hole on the side. Two or 3 cats live there. Pest control for taste pilots and grizzly. From what my father in law says they do collect them sometimes and spay and neuter test for disease then let them go. Black cats hang out by the secret semetary for HM. - mexman11.3 #6397 8-21-11 2:40AMLike Reply
