I still need to find a way to get a Red Panda as a pet.

My person finally received theirs just a bit ago. Glad it made it. Mine hasn't arrived yet, but that's our good old postal service. I cannot believe how absolutely terrible it is. I don't think I've ever seen such terrible delivery. Everyone I talk to has had a ton of their packages not arrive, even when they sent them over 2 weeks ago!

The trams may have been incredibly old and rough, but there is no way that a bus will be more efficient. You don't need to be a psychic to figure that out. And yes, getting on the trams at SFMM was hell when it was busy. It was absolutely not worth it on a busy day.

I'm really excited for all the stuff coming from Disney. Using RFID is perfect for Disney. They can easily track all sorts of patterns and can use the information to improve a lot of things.

Here's the pricing for the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. Looks like the Dumbo Double Dare will cost $40 more (if you register by Feb. 19) than doing the 1/2 and 5k separate. Not too bad. Can't wait! Entry Fees and Deadlines Disneyland® Half Marathon $175 by February 19, 2013 $190 between February 20 and April 16, 2013 $205 on or after April 17, 2013 Disneyland® 10K $95 by February 19, 2013 $110 between February 20 and April 16, 2013 $125 on or after April 17, 2013 Dumbo Double Dare $280 by February 19, 2013 $300 between February 20 and April 16, 2013 $320 on or after April 17, 2013 Disneyland® Family Fun Run 5K $65 per participant runDisney Kids Races $20 per child

But Robb, you know that the good people in LA will get in a nice line and be orderly when they get on the bus.

I hope that extending the date doesn't mean no new updates for a while. I'm all done with the Christmas stuff, and there's nothing new for me until another update. I'm almost up to $1 million again, and don't really need to buy anything else. Edit: Just saw this on their Facebook page. How is this any different than any other time?

I hope not, the trams were the scariest and roughest ride at the park!

I always liked the Mega Man series, but it was way too hard for me. Never got far at all and would just get frustrated and stop playing it.

That's awesome, and terrible! More money just disappeared! Glad they have that option though, I would always run the 5k, but always wanted a longer run.

Awesome photos, and a great ride!

That's exactly it. If you spend the money, you get better things. People that stay on property do spend more, and usually don't leave for other parks in the area. I've been looking for a place to stay in Orlando for this January (if anyone knows of any great deals let me know!), and there are a ton of places for a lot cheaper than Disney. Granted they're not great, but if I were to pay the same price as an All-Star, I could get a really nice place off-property. So, people that are being more frugal and careful with their money are not going to be Disney's marketing target. It makes perfect business sense.

Just in time for Winter! I do hope they still have the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor. That was amazing stuff.

Yeah, like Robb said, getting Santa's Little Helper was so anti-cllimatic. I spent a ton of stupid time visiting people and getting coins for a dog that does nothing. The bowling alley would have been a much better 'ending.' I was running into the same problem and just figured the stupid thing out. It showed I had 97 friends, but I couldn't add anyone else and always got an error, then I realized it said I have 97 friends playing Simpsons Tapped Out. So I scrolled all the way down the list and found 3 friends who were on the list, but not playing Simpsons Tapped Out. So when you request friends, you are requesting anyone who has a login with Origin. To delete, go to Friends, then My Friends. Scroll all the way down and find the people who are not playing Simpsons and top on their name. Click Profile, then the "+" symbol, and remove friend. I'm also a little surprised the Gil addition happened, looks like this guy was somewhat right. The dates are off, and some other promos didn't show up, but it would be interesting if some when/if the other promos show up. I'm sure they put a bunch out, and depending on sales they pulled some back. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9160321.page Oh I forgot. Wallmart is having a 20% off sale for a $50 iTunes gift card. Great deal, even if you don't use it for the Simpsons game. It was up as of 1:05pm PST, Dec. 19. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?dest=9999999997&product_id=17753320&sourceid=17561917101149070616&veh=aff&wmlspartner=lw9MynSeamY

Awesome report. Really looking forward to all the next gen stuff. FastPass+ may have we staying on property every now and then, unless they make it available as an upcharge. I really need to try one of those waffle sandwiches!

It could be that most parks don't let you take pictures and such while on the ride, and with the pouches there it would be way too tempting for people to take them out when they aren't supposed to.

^Definitely! Make sure if you receive you gift to post about it so the person who sent it knows it arrived. Also, whenever you decide to open your gift, make sure you post about it! Still haven't received mine, and my secret santa hasn't received theirs. Getting close!

Great update! Looks like it will be a good kids addition to the park.

^That does seem rather high. Looks like a good addition, but how about one of those dropping slides off the side of the ship (no not into the ocean).

Looks really good! I love the trackless systems. I'm always amazed at how this stuff works.

Now a girl Duffy? I really hope they don't pick up in the US like in Japan.

Looks like a great addition. Definitely will help on those evening when your looking for something to do. I like Downtown Disney because of how easy it is to get in and out, and you don't have to pay for parking. Sure it gets busy, but compared to City Walk it is much more convenient.

Looks like you guys had a great time! Too bad I couldn't make it.

Love the zipper pockets, but cannot understand why they have those new loading procedures. Maybe it will get faster over time, but it sure doesn't look effective now.

Now that's a lift hill! Really excited to ride this!
