answer:I’ve been twice. The first was when I was 18. It was expensive, crowded, and the lines were unbearably long. The second time was for my son’s birthday this year. The gate price was way too high to justify, but I have a friend who was a cast member and he got us through the gate for free. It was hot, crowded, and the lines were unbearably long. We did get there at opening time, so we were able to book it to Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain before the crowds made it there. The best part was first thing in the morning. We didn’t tell Ian we were bringing him there, and he fell asleep in the car. The look on his face when he woke up in the parking lot was worth the hassle.
