    Started on the non-TFs parts now, with the first day posted up. Took longer than I had expected doing just one day (I thought I would be able to do the whole trip today), so this might take a few more days. I'll just mention when it is completely completed.

    Griffin, I'd just like to take a moment to say thanks for this report and all the effort you have put into it. I love that you have included a lot of the personal aspects of the trip, as it really does give people a real feel for what the trip would have been like.

    Cheers man.

    While I hope one day to make the trip myself, I have no delusions to the fact that there's a very good chance that I will simply never actually make it to Botcon. So... in the mean time I'll live vicariously though you.

    Thanks guys for the kind words and feedback.

    And after 3 long weeks... IT IS DONE!

    For those waiting until it was completed before you started browsing through it, well, wait no more. And for those reading up each page as it was uploaded, the last page is now there for you to look at... but I also inserted more photos into the Dealer Room page, and some of the earlier day pages. (I still need to do a spell-check on it all, but it might be a few days, as I need a bit of a break now)

    Plus, look out for the 4 Easter Eggs, and the bonus Easter Egg hidden somewhere in the report.

    And did I mention that like previous years, there may be a competition, that has you find stuff in the report... so keep an eye out for that in the 15th Anniversary section.

    Please let me know if anything is missing or doesn't work properly.

    Once again Griff you have outdone yourself, an excellent read.

    so wished that i did six flags with you guys first of all Daffy Duck wasnt anywhere to been seen and i really really wanted to get a photo with him and secondly it was so freakin busy!!! still got onto a few of the rides by using one of those flash passes.

    I was surprised as well about not riding anything at Disney, but there were too many people lined up to everything, and I wanted to be sure I saw the whole park first... and when I did, the parade started, and after that I was hung around with Ian's family for the rest of the day.

    Actually, while Griffin was off exploring other parts of Disneyland, we got to go on the Jungle Cruise, Caroline & Emilie went through Tarzans treehouse, and we saw Asimo the robot do his thing.
    But pretty much every other ride had wait times in excess of 40 minutes.
    I like the way you say that you 'hung around us'. It not like you were unwanted you know. :P

    Nice write-up! I don't really mind the many toys myself, but I agreed with a lot of your points.

    I also enjoyed a lot of American junk food while I was there, which was very nostalgic for me!

    I hate the year-long wait for sampling American 'cuisine', but at least I didn't grow up on it, so wouldn't miss it as much as you probably do.

    But if I could have burgers express posted from America, I would...
