Wow...stopped by the resort tonight to participate in the pre-anniverary LP meet. Fun was had by all.

Looking around the resort, there were people camped out at Maihama station, even all the way down the stairs and into the locker area of the station...reminiscent of new years. Crazy!

And passing by the road that forks off to the hotels and the TDL entrance, I noticed a line of cars which, at first, I assumed were people on their way OUT...but no. It was a bunch of cars lined up, shut off, and WAITING (with sleeping occupants, I would guess) for the parking lots to open in the MORNING. Wow.

Tomorrow is going to be crazy, methinks. In all my years, I've never seen the like save for New Years.

And even at New Years, I've never heard of rumors of altercations between belligerent, horrible obnoxious foreign guests and beleaguered cast members.

In the past 10 minutes (it's nearly 2am here, by the way) I've received no less than 4 emails from cast member friends, all in shock. This is pretty insane!

This one is a first, in my ten years of experience.

I assume that doesn't happen at New Years because there are not so many foreign guests pushing and shoving and shouting their way into the parks.

Yikes!

Sounds like the night before DL's 50th, but less organized. Hopefully every thing will turn out well and my guess is that all the people lining up this early will make it have a very special atmosphere tomorrow. They clearly all really want to be a part of the celebration, so it should be pretty fun.

Yes. Hopefully rude foreign guests won't ruin it for everyone, though.

I've heard some crazy stories so far. Ugly Americans at their worst.

I have heard of two occassions, and the main protagonist really did make it a challenge and embarrassment to other people in attendance?

Yeah, I heard a few tibbits when I appeared on satellite(phone) from Mr. X and SD and that's basically it ;). I STILL don't know who the hell these people are lol, but I have a feeling I don't want to know ;D.

***the main protagonist really did make it a challenge and embarrassment to other people in attendance?***

It wasn't just one person.

I started a thread over in the NFFC & Orgs section, so I didn't think I needed to talk about it over here anymore. Maybe here is more appropriate though.

SO it was those people.

I had never heard of them or their strange acronym before but I just had a bad feeling when I read about their having a sense of entitlement and them falling en masse on the TDR.
