It's an amazing experience. And I have my own PiC. Andy is NOT a morning person. We also enjoy the Halloween hard ticket too.

Thanks! > I hope the evil Mouse minions aren't listening, but I would pay that and probably a little more for the experience, especially if I'm assured they're not going to get greedy and oversell/pack the place.
