Did they ever get Murphy fixed and back up in the show?

Let's hope Murphy lasts for a long time now.

Wow, does TLM look good!!!
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
― Dr. Seuss

I'm going to guess their prediction/actual numbers are going to be off this week. After lunch we tried to go on a ride before heading back to the office and the lines/crowds were huge.

Did you make it on anything then or did y'all give up?

We said a collective "F*@k this" and left after lunch.Nice perk about being local with an AP is that you don't have to deal with crowds if you don't want to.

Do you guys eat there almost every week? It would be nice to be that close to pop in for lunch and an attraction or two!

Usually about twice a month as meetings since the selection in that part of north OC can be limited. There may be more visits in a month if anyone feels like it.

Liquid lunches charged off on the business card as a business meeting? :wink:

Yes, unless the local places start having a full bar lunch meetings will continue to be held offsite.

Every week I am more and more impressed with the mermaid building. That looks absolutely fantastic. Disney really did their homework on that one!

Remember, this is DLR DCA, not WDW. WDW won't look that impressive in comparison, but TLM is becoming a more glaring example of how it doesn't fit with the "California" theme of DCA. It looks great, but it's just totally wrong.

But we have been forcing her into the park from the start with the carousel and then the dining establishment/bar (do they serve anything harder than beer and wine at the bar?).
