what do you think of petco park?
if you haven't been, or are not a baseball fan, ignore this question.
i've been to a few padres games at petco park. it's a pretty nice new ballpark, although it tries to create a feel of being a larger version of one of the old style ballparks with a brick building built into it (the western metal building was preserved and integrated into the stadium). the nosebleed seats... are pretty nosebleed, but the closer seats are pretty nice. the concessions are pretty standard, with a few san diego favorites. my favorite food is the garlic fries from gordon biersch. one nice aspect is that around the park's main walkways there are hd tvs showing the game while you're standing in line to get food, etc.

i think it's nicer than qualcomm stadium was for baseball. however, i'm still upset at some of the political manuevering that occured to get it built, using public tax money. its downtown location is great, and brings extra traffic to the bars and restaurants of the gaslamp quarter, and extra riders trying out san diego's transit options to avoid the high cost of parking downtown.
you have several water parks in utah. not meaning to be "testy", but with all there is to see in seattle area, to spend an afternoon at a water park seems like a waste. some of mine do and some don't. i quit trying to explain to ppl who have no idea what it's all about. some will never truly understand this illness anyhow. hugs. take care 🌺 hi rachael: returning to the park in the afternoon is extremely easy. crowds entering the park in the afternoon are generally light and nothing like rope drop in the morning when crowds gather before opening. you'll likely breeze right into the park in the afternoon after getting your magic band or ticket scanned and any bags checked. the only exception would be if you are traveling during extremely crowded times, such as the week between christmas and new years. on occasion, parks get filled to capacity. if you are traveling that week, i would plan to arrive at the park early and make sure to bring your dining confirmation number with you to show that you have an in-park dining reservation. enjoy your vacation. welcome to the disney parks moms panel, diane. how exciting that you're planning your son's first trip to the happiest place on earth! children under 3 years of age do not require a park ticket. disney parks go by honor system and will take your word for it. however, it's not a bad idea to have a copy of your son's birth certificate as proper proof of age, just in case. be sure to stop by city hall on main street usa in disneyland or chamber of commerce on buena vista street in california adventure for your son's first trip button to commemorate the occasion! if you have further questions, please visit me on the panel again! have a magical day, kiki hi kathy! even though the fabulous caribbean beach resort is located near epcot, it's not possible to walk between the two. there are busy roads and no pedestrian sidewalks or crosswalks, so it would be best to drive or use the disney transportation service. you can be sure it will be a very short ride because it's so close! have a magical vacation! i had to do some searching to find out what you what you were referring to and uncovered a tv series with which i was unfamiliar: disney's adventures of the gummi bears, which ran for several years in the late 1980s. i understand that the series has been released on dvd, which i'm guessing is where your daughters saw the show. i'm sorry to tell you that there are currently no character greeting areas devoted to the gummi bear characters. i personally have never seen anything related to this show in the parks. to be absolutely sure that you're not missing something, you could stop by the guest relations office at any of the theme parks. ask them to call the character hotline for you. they will be able to tell you with certainty whether any of your favorite characters will be appearing in the parks at any time during your visit. if you are willing to take a little detour, i highly recommend going to the animal kingdom lodge, which will be a short bus ride from the park. at the akl, boma is an absolute must do on our trip. if you'd like something more elegant, jiko is also fantastic. and i must say, a chance to explore the animal kingdom lodge is also a wonderful treat; it is a beautiful resort that is one of a kind. to return to your resort, you can take the disney's hollywood studios or epcot bus from the akl and then transfer to the cbr bus. if you'd prefer to stay in the park to eat, tusker house will give you the opportunity to sample the flavors of africa. yak & yeti offers a variety of pan-asian entrees, not to mention our favorite appetizer: fried green beans. the rainforest cafe is also popular and right at the entrance of the park. and don't worry about transportation, buses will continue to run after the park closes for guests who are still dining. hi paula, the water parks are a great way to spend some time out of the main parks and have some fun in the water. my family always plans a day at the water park when we are there in the summer. because your children are younger, i would recommend blizzard beach. the wave pool, melt-away bay, is large and much milder than at typhoon lagoon. plus you can have a tube in the wave pool which is fun. there are also more family rides that you can go with your children. teamboat springs is a family favorite for all ages. cross country creek is a lazy river to spend the time traveling around the park. the best is the children areas for the little ones. tike's peak is perfect for children under 48 inches. here they can play and splash on slides and water areas designed especially for them. wishing you a magical vacation! beth sorry. i wish i could help but i find it weird that people “like” your post and not say anything. i posted yesterday and i was like ok… ummm do you want to look at my book? hah. all the best sir! you care too much about what other people who don't really matter think.
