You can do it all on 4th of July

Not to give Len another plug, but with his plan we were able to do
everything at Epcot this past 4th of July. Magic Kingdom would have
been much tougher, but then again the TouringPlan would never allow
us to be in MK on 4th of July.

I WISH Van Halen was getting back together but I think they would kill each other back stage.

Eddie is King!!!!

Don't hate. It's not attractive.

Thanks for the note on the touring plans. Dave rules!

I really liked this episode. It was funny, Len got some singing in, and had a good guest. I thought her idea of the book was cool - I know I could use that for my family. I agree that there is so much detail in the queue lines, but even sometimes it is not enough to keep me interested. For example, my family was in line for Test Track, and the ride was broken down for a bit, so we figured we'd just stay in line (if we got out of line, the ride would probably get fixed, and we'd be sorry we didn't wait). I liked looking at and reading all the history of the cars, but it did get boring after a few minutes. I wish I had had the book then! But then again, at the Tower of Terror, I couldn't ever get bored of looking at the lobby - there is just so much great detail there! All in all, I do agree that it just depends on the ride you are in line for and what to do to keep busy.
