Yep, we're booked already. 6th - 17th, and if you are able to be around then, I'd love to meet up!

I'll have a look for the Birnbaum's guide - we went back in 1998, with the brats, and had a delightful time. I had done my research and had it planned like a military operation quite carefully, and since we were getting up on English time, we managed to be ahead of crowds pretty well all the while, which was most pleasing.

Conventions? Business meetings, or something else? Are there going to be bulky men in suits overrunning the rides, or do they stick to the hotel territory and golf courses?
