Great Article
That was a great link. Thanks.
I can't wait to see the new areas. And personally I won't miss the snow white ride, the new one looks way better. I didn't care for the old one much.

Thanks for posting the link.
Those crowds scare me. We'll be there right after Easter and now I see what to look forward too (or not). We'll definitely be checking out the new area though.

Thanks for sharing! How strange it was to see right over Dumbo from the Barnstormer. I think the area looks fantastic so far!
