What would you do with the ped when you are on a ride? I would think that a shaky ride like Big Thunder would add quite a few steps to your total.

Sounds like you'll be arriving when many of us will be leaving. There may be some Mayhem Marauders still around after this weekend when you arrive...

Yeah - I'm thinking/hoping that next week will be a quiet one with the Marathon Weekend over with, the holidays are over and kids are back in school and the parks will be more on the quiet side. Either way, I'll be there in 5 days...as long as the clock at work doesn't continue to go backwards, like I feel like it does! haha

WARNING: the pedometers ARE affected by the rides' motion. TSMM at DHS put 80 steps on my ped.

Only 80? I would have guessed Toy Story would put a lot more on than that! That attraction whirled like crazy this past trip :shock:
