Neither rain, nor snow ...
Well, sometimes the weather does make it difficult.
We were invited to speak to the American Coaster Enthusiasts' annual "East Coaster" event over the weekend in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
As in mid-Atlantic states. As in blizzardpalooza.
Since they were already closing airports on Friday, we quickly made a video for the enthusiasts to show during the day on Saturday.
Our weather was warmer, but still messy.
In case you missed the event (or you just want to see what we sent), here's the video:

Holidog's at the Super Bowl!
That's right -- Holidog hitched a ride with Eric, our admissions director, to sunny Miami.
Not sure the pup understands this whole football thing. Right before he and Eric left, I got the impression Holidog was expecting to visit the World's Largest Dog Food Bowl.
Eric says security is very tight (and he forgot to bring Holidog's shot records), but he's hoping Holidog will be allowed in to cheer on the winning team.
Update: Holidog made it up to the front gate and was greeted with -- free Pepsi! (Nice to know this free Pepsi thing is catching on.)
He and Eric will also be snacking on empanadas for lunch.
Another wonderful surprise -- there are rides at the Super Bowl!
Update: What a game! And what a half-time show! Holidog happily howled along with Pete and Roger.

What's your choice?
Eighty-something days from now, we'll open for our 64th season.
Job Fairs start this weekend as we begin hiring 2,100 seasonal Hosts & Hostesses.
The snowball has topped the crest and is starting its downhill race.
Just wondering, what are you looking forward to the most when you visit this season?

Home Alone?
When we started to plan our online shop, we talked about making it "fit" what we're all about.
We'd use our owners, employees and their families as models for the HoliShop.
We'd have fun. But, honestly, this much fun, Will?
All I can think of when I see this photo is that great scene in the movie Home Alone.
Not much chance of Will being alone this summer. He'll be the first, but surely not the last, to tame that 'beest.
