Large Events......What's the Draw?

Wow, did disneyland adopt the vail resorts epic pass program?

Ugh... I'm going to Disneyland at the end of the month because my wife and her group of girlfriends really want to go. Not looking forward to the crowds. I was really hoping that the new quota system would make it less of a sea of people, clearly I was wrong.

We went 15 years ago as part of our honeymoon. Thank God you can get alcohol there now.

Only in the California Adventure side. On the Disneyland side its only available in the super exclusive Club33; which costs $34,000/year and has a 14 year waiting list.

I'd like to have enough money someday to be that stupid.

Once we found it, we stopped looking at anything else. 😂

At least I am in Florida where common sense still prevails outside the park.

I keep wondering why I keep volunteering, and have to agree with Marc and Kevin, it's a way to give back to the sport, share local knowledge, and help educate people in the off road arena. Every year I swear I'm going to cut back on volunteering and do more private wheeling, and then I volunteer again. It must be an addiction. I'm working all 4 days at Winter 4x4, but did cut back to working only 3 of the first 4 days at EJS. I never feel like I get enough wheeling and look forward to hard trails with small capable groups, to just have fun.

I am doing nothing with regard to volunteer work this year. XJ died, YJ is on Jack stands and buggy isn't finished. I get to hang out with Stan and Jeff all 4 days. Going to be a blast. Katelynn is helping with the Lady's Run on Saturday with Susan as a trail leader. It is going to be a fun week. It is WORK to be a trail leader.

Also, I'm not sure if any of you are like this but do you check exits and such? In massive crowds, I always do.

Yes. I check out the exits when I enter a building as well as have to be facing the entrance so I can observe the scene.

I don't know if it is my risk avoidance mentality or what it is.

To many Sackett books when we were younger?

Same here. I like to survey the room/environment. I'm sure I'm not as "situationally aware" as I really SHOULD be, but I am higher than the average Joe Schmucatelli

My kids call my seating position preference Control Freak Corner. I think that's kind of mean. Especially since my daughter has the same habit.

I go to events to see people I like.... if we're going wheeling, it's fun to go do things with other people that like those things too, but then, it's usually small groups, like 5 rigs or something. I've never signed up for a group ride and probably never will. USUALLY I'm doing something at big events anyway though, so, I'm already there. EJS, I really only go for the vendors' show.
