Great TR!!! I love the leaking log flume!!! That's almost scary! Elissa "that park did have some ghetto people when we were there!" Alvey

No problem...just blame Daylight Saving Time like I am!!! Elissa "GRRRR" Alvey

We won't decide till right before we start...that way we can try and find a room with no one in it to annoy us! Elissa "1 Hour Till Game Night!" Alvey

^Sorry...we'll try to do the next one at a more friendly European time! Elissa "stupid time zones!" Alvey

^Oh yeah! But...the scenery...mountains in the background, trees everywhere, etc.(nothing that SF did, but just the natural coolness of the location) can't be beat in my opinion. Elissa "not much else positive to say about the place!" Alvey

I voted Other... This is because in my opinion none of the Six Flags park have both "Friendly Staff" and "Nice Scenery". Friendly Staff - SFoT Nice Scenery - SFMM Neither of those have the other though! Elissa "how about SFB as a former six flags park that has both!" Alvey

Ok! We're going to do another game night! 6pm PDT 9pm EDT http://www.popcap.com Click on Psychobabble We will be in one of the PG-13 rooms. EDIT: Now we are in the room "Blabbermouth" Check this thread right before 6pm (West Coast Time) and I'll post what room to go to! They do not have rooms that you can 'lock' or 'make private' so there's a chance we might need to change. Just keep checking this thread if you can't find us. If you haven't played before you'll need to setup a free account so get that done now! Hope to see a bunch of you there tonight! Elissa "this game is as cool as Grafiti!" Alvey

I WOULD have done Britney Spears when she was still hot and not quite complete white trash like she is now...oh and she's fat now too! Elissa "she better be pregnant or else she really is fat!" Alvey

Nooo!!! I love the long version of that commercial where the guy goes "SPAMITY CALAMITY!!!!" Elissa "I'll have the Tuna" Alvey

Robb & I will be at SFMM on Sunday, May 1st along with Barry Hom and some other friends that I'm sure will show up! It might not be the best day (could be crowded) but maybe you'd like to come and meet up with us we can show you around, and then go back on Monday also. Let us know! We'd love to meet up and help you around! Elissa "I bet we can get Dan to come too!"

Atlanta is a really nice city to go check out after SFoG has closed. And like Coasterdude said be sure to check out Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg they have a lot of cool stuff. Elissa "Alpine Slide!!!" Alvey

^Yeah...we want to know how your trip was! Elissa "everyone's going to Paris this year!" Alvey

There will be long lines in between concerts, but mostly it's just a really obnoxious crowd. Not dissing Jesus or anything, just the youth groups and people this event draws are not the most polite. Most have very few chaperones and are annoying teenagers. I'm pretty sure Deja Vu is back open...Everything *should* be open for your visit except Flashback. Expect Psyclone and Colossus to run 1 train each. I searched ebay and google and didn't see any coupons for Knotts passes...I don't know if you guys all need passes, if not I found this City Pass thing that might be good for some of you: Elissa "silly knotts and expiration dates" Alvey

SFMM - It's the Hallelujah Jubilee, avoid it at all costs. If you can't...just do the park during the day, it won't be as bad as it will become at night and all the church youth groups that had school during the day show up. Disney and Knotts are both tolerable on a Saturday...look up when the "Twofer" ends though as that was the most crowded I've ever seen a Disney park...The final day to use your Twofer and Screamin, Soarin, Grizzly all had posted 180min waits!!! If you decide on Knotts be there by 9am, get in line first to get your pass processed, you should be out by 9:45, then get in line at the gate, you'll have about 30 min to do the stuff in the front before it becomes unbearable, then move to the back of the park and get all that stuff done. Head out for lunch and maybe some needed sleep, then come back a 2 - 3 hours before closing. You know how to do a Disney park on a crowded day I'm sure... The absolute cheapest way that I know of to get a Knotts Pass is to find one of the leftover coupons that Knotts put out a couple of years ago with NO EXPIRATION date that are $59.95 if you buy 4 or more. Maybe someone else will have another idea. Elissa "hope this helps" Alvey

...wonderin what clothes to wear....wonderin what clothes to wear...wondering what clo- HON! Elissa "I think it's an SBC Commercial but I usually change the channel by the end of it!" Alvey

I'd love to try curling, but I've never actually seen an Ice Rink that offers it! Elissa "silly Canadians!" Alvey

^Wait a second!!! Robb listens to Erasure!!! Oh crap, I knew there was something wrong with our relationship! Elissa "Robb is a Gay man trapped in a Yeti's body" Alvey

^Does she want to make an offer? Elissa "it's still sitting at my parents house!" Alvey

LOL! I should send that to my old french teacher, we used to always have stuff like that to do! Elissa "more concerned with what's for lunch than solving the damn puzzle!" Alvey

I like Plastic Sharks! Where's that choice??? Elissa "I like Rodents too!" Alvey

I'm thin again!!! After putting on like 8 pounds during the 'off season' I'm back and ready for coaster season! Mmmm McDonalds for Lunch Today! Elissa "time to go shopping!" Alvey

As a 'Game Developer Spouse' I can relate to ea_spouse, but at the same time EA is really the worst of the game company's for reasons like that article! You work really messed up schedules, and it is a hard field to get into, but there are good rewards if you work really hard. Elissa "I'm sure Robb will elaborate more later!" Alvey

Freefall, Where are you from? If you're from a EU country, the US will be dirt cheap for you! Decent Hotels for no more than $50/night. A Six Flags pass good at ALL SF parks for $50. Extra Value Meal at McDonalds for $4! Elissa "when you have a better idea of your plans we'll help you!" Alvey

Awesome! I hope that the Rattler is running well for you! Elissa "love that ride!" Alvey

We took Dallas to Discovery Cove when he was 6 and he loved the rest of the park and swam in the 'reefs' and the 'river' and went in with the stingrays, but the Dolphins were big, strong and fast, and he wanted no part of it. The trainers were awesome though...they waited till everyone was done, let Dallas stay in about 8 inches of water and had one of the better trained Dolphins come right up to him. As for the AP Discount for Disney Hotels...it depends what hotel you want to stay at. If you're going to stay at a Value the discount usually isn't more than about $15 - $20. When we stayed at Boardwalk last October we payed $204 with all taxes and stuff which was about a $100 savings on the AAA price. Also keep in mind that the AP discounts are never a given, and you might have to call early to get them, or be willing to take your 2nd choice hotel. Any Disney hotel guest is able to use the "Extra Magic Hour". Elissa "let me know if you have any other questions" Alvey
