BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 We went last year and the crowds were really only heavy between about 10pm-1am. The rest of the time wasn't bad at all. We were there for the entire 24 hours and rode pretty much everything, and the only thing we had a significant wait on was Splash Mountain - but that was partly because the ride went down while we were in line, ...and it was eleventy million degrees out.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I had a dream one time that I was at one of these 24 hour events. A dream while I was sleeping. In my comfy bed. It's about as close to it as I ever plan on getting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YENSIDCAMPER 66 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Unlike Dave I would love to be there. I was pumped because I saw it was Memorial Day weekend. Then I saw it was from 6am on the 23rd to 6am on the 24th. I am so bummed as we will arrive around 2pm on the 24th. Can't leave earlier because school is still in session for us until the 23rd. #bummed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have much more definite plans than I do. But Twin #2 and I have discussed it, and will probably give it a try. She starts her summer internship just that week, and is not sure of her work schedule yet. We think we will be able to make it for at least the overnight part. We won't know for sure until the week of. TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 While we have a "plan" of sorts, we also know that it's subject to chucking out the window at any moment. But as of now, we'll be there dark and early for rope drop. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Personally, I think you should make that drive a bit shorter, and go To Townsend, TN instead and spend time with FIENDS!!!!!! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of these days I'll have enough time (and gas money) to get myself and my camper to more of the southern GGs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 At 8pm tonight, all of you sane Fiends out there yell out.ARE YOU TWO OUT OF YOUR MINDS?It has to be loud enough for their hubbys to hear, so that they can start the paperwork for admittance into the loony bin. They'll of course need a Florida attorney as they'll be picked up at the parks. As there are two Florida Fiend lawyers, it's doable, even though one of them might be doing the silly event and probably won't serve the papers to Mo and Nicole, but Gail will.

Interestingly enough, the women on my side of the family think it's awesome. Hmm... wonder who I take after?? And Gwen - I do almost all the driving when we tow the camper down anyway. I can drive a plain ol' car 1400 miles with one eye closed, sitting on one hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
