The Ward Kimball was running on July 17, 2005. They had all four engines running. Today I noticed that they had three running.

Just as a side note, there have been many people who asked a conductor at Main Street Station on a weekday who were actually able to take a ride on the Lilly Belle (currently attached to the C.K. Holiday I think).

From my understanding, the Lilly Belle is generally reserved for Club 33 members and VIP's. However, I'm guessing that when there are no anticipated riders (hence the bolding of the weekday above) on slow days, rides are given.

I never have the nerve to ask, but boy I sure took a close look at that the last time I was there......

I heard the Lilly Belle can be accessed by Club 33 members.

I had the priveledge of riding in the Lilly Belle during a visit last weekend. It was fantastic! Talk about first class!!!

A CM friend was able to secure a ticket, and we had a private conductor with us the entire trip around the park to answer questions, take pictures, and tell us history and trivia. A truly memorable experience.

horizons1, I am so jealous! Did your CM friend have to pay for the ticket, or is it free of charge for them? I wish I had friends in high places!

No, he didn't pay. But I am not sure who you have to know to get it - he was very secretive of his sources. 8)
