So no coverage of the perfume shop? :D

But good god, those were some long lines (looking at the numbers from the page) for star tours. I don't think I waited that long for rocket rods.
On the other hand, if you want to avoid those long lines, you could always go see Captain Eo...

This makes me so glad that I went when they did a sneak peek preview and that was about a 45 minute wait.

I know that I must have picked a really unpopular time since it was walk on for all 9 trips, but afterwards the 1 PM group was using the overflow line.

Forget picking an unpopular time, sounds like you picked a smart time!!

A lot of people apparently were only there to ride it during the previews, so they would go on, and then go right back to the fastpass machine to wait for their window to open again to get another ticket.

WOW!!! I'm saving the money and staying in the Adventureland Suite at the Disneyland Hotel! Now that's amazing theming. And the Monorail pool... awesome.

You might need to save for awhile! I found one site quoting $2,735 - $3,736 per night, depending on season/availability :shock: (http://www.californiatravelexpert.com/A ... otel.shtml)
They are pretty cool looking suites though! And that pool does look nice ~ especially when it is all lit up at night :D

Apparently the sales of premixed drinks must be good, I've heard they extended the stay of ElecTronica again (into 2012). I think they might be trying to drum up support for another movie since they are also still making new merch.

I don't think the TRON film did that bad at the box office? Does anyone know it's final box office total?

The cost (according to wiki) was USD$170 M and gross was USD$400,062,763. Profitable but they may be still mulling it/writing up a script to propose.

I might be the only one that really enjoyed Tron Legacy. I did see the first movie before seeing the sequel and I thought they were both good so I do hope there's a sequel and wonder how they will do it without Kevin Flynn.

I liked it, I just figured they're going to have him pull a jesus since he's data on a flash media drive now.

And the writer's past credit was a failed TV summer series for ABC that didn't get picked up to become a regular TV series? Wow, what great credentials...

Considering it's a blockbuster movie I'm going to guess they don't need a deep writer.
