Salty,
They offer behind the scene tours to schools and clubs. I went there for the IMAC show and the tour was awesome. I learned quite a bit from them. It couldn’t hurt to call and ask if this is possible for the day you are there. Then again I didn’t have enough time to take pics after the tour before the bus was leaving.

Enjoy the day and share the joy with the hubby on an anniversary that is just the first of many.

SaltyQueen,
You might want to get there before 10am, otherwise the lines are pretty long.

SaltyQueen · 11-23-2003, 03:04 AM

We already have our tickets- so we don't have to wait in line to get tickets- would we still have to wait in line to get in the door?

Dennis7 · 11-23-2003, 03:12 AM

You shouldn't have that much of a problem. Also parking lots charge $12.00 to park.
