| | | Penny, I can bring a cooler filled with ice packs and keep them in my car if you want. Since Jim and myself are pumpes, our insulin will be on us.
Penny, do you plan on paying to park? I was just wondering what your plans on were getting there and parking. Maybe meet somewhere out of the park and drive one car in or if you get a ride there but your husband doesn't go, I can pick you up to drive in and drop you off at the entrance...as the non-parker drop off is a country mile from the gate.

Maybe I can get cups of ice, here and there, to keep it cool. Also maybe it will not be so hot by then.
I think my husband will drop us, I don't think he will be coming. He worries, but really doesn't want to. They used to have shuttle buses to take from the parking lot to the gate. Did they stop doing that? I also will need to bring my cane, I forgot to ask if there are regulations about that. If there are no shuttles, I would appreciate the ride to the gate. Thanks.

| | | Ya if you are going to do the picnic thing we can meet up there. I am sure I will see you some place in the park before then. I would not wait to much longer, I am not sure how much longer they will let you buy tickets via that deal. Also I scoped out the local weather, and as of yesterday it is gonna be in the upper 60's in the late am and mid 70 by late afternoon. Keven keep us up dated on the forcast next week.

| | | Did anyone order the tickets via the link? I was just wondering if I will be eating with any of you at lunch. The city is so big, I never know anyone at the picnic.

| | | I haven't yet, but I probably will. I'll have to check it out tomorrow and hope it's still there. I had someone offer me a coupon for $15 off (making admission $30) but if I can pay $32 and get a meal with it, that's a deal.

| | | I have not, only because I cannot figure out how to tell them I will pick up my tickets at the gate. I am afraid they wouldn't get here if they mailed them to me. Kevin will you look and see if I missed something, I will order in the morning. Also,Since Pat is dropping us off, if you (or anyone else) parked your car someplace where you didn't have to pay, we could pick you up and drive you to the gate. Oops, I forgot to call about the shuttle...so I better do that first. Also, I don't think I can stay much later than say 6 pm (Just don't know if I can be there that long without getting sick), so getting back to the cars would be a problem. But it is something for everyone to think about. If there is no shuttle, Kevin, I would certainly share the parking cost with you, if you drive us to the gate. Jim, I would love to eat with you and your family, so hope I can still get the tickets.

| | | Penny, I think those tickets you print off. I've never done it online, but last year (or the year before) I went to Winterfest and someone else bought my ticket and she had computer printed tickets. Each one had a different code so they couldn't be used twice. So they either let you print them after you order them or they email them to you, not sure, I'll find out later today.
Also, don't worry about leaving early. I think patti is confirmed going now and she and her fam need to leave by 3, which I said was not a problem.

| | | Kevin I went through the process to the last step of ordering the tickets through Jim's site. They only give 2 options, express mail at $18.95 extra or regular mail at 3.95. I don't want to pay an extra $19 and I am afraid the tickets will not get here in time by regular mail. There was no option for printing or hold at gate. I called a few days ago, and the girl who answered said that we could have them held at the gate, but did not say how. I will try to call again this morning. I did not want to disappoint the granddaughter by leaving too early, this is only her 2nd trip to the park. So thought 6 might be a good time for her to do most of the rides, etc. Kevin I will pm my home phone # to you, it will make it easier for you to reach me.

| | Just ordered my tickets and it was pretty easy. I called this #---513-754-5700, and selected option 4. I ordered the tickets, gave them my info, and the code. They gave me a number and I can pick my tickets the day of the event. No mailing fees. I forgot to ask about the shuttle, so if someone else gets the chance.

| | | Penny,
When you pick up your tickets make sure you get 2 tickets per person. One to get into the park, and the other to get into the picnic.

I did get a receipt online that I printed out, and that was a relief. I had visions of getting there and being told they didn't know what I was talking about.

| | | Last few years, they have also given away door prizes. They gave away stuff with the city seal on it, along with cash door prizes. I know they plan on having $500.00 in door prizes this year. Each person with a ticket gets entered. My 5 year old daughter won $50.00 two years ago. I think that year we came out with enough money in door prizes to cover the cost of the tickets. So that year it was a free trip. It is fun, I am sure your grandaughter will have fun as well.
Jim

Kevin, let me know what you want to do, if we can find a place to park the cars and Pat can drop me off, and take one car in.  I could probably walk if I had to, I would just take twice as long as the rest of you.

| | | I have some coupons for anyone who did not get tickets. They are for $34.95 for adults or 29.95 for senior/junior (I think jr. is for anyone under 48 inches, senior for 61 or older). Any you need them, send me a pm, and you can meet us before 10, where I am meeting Kevin, in the drop off area. Kevin I am hoping to be there by 9:45, and thanks again for the offer of a ride into the park.
