Remember my little rant about...

[RhondaS]

Remember my little rant a while back about how I am getting my Universal Passholder newsletters later than the dates for the events they are advertising?

No?

Well, whatever then, but I'm going to rant a little bit more about it.

I just returned from my front porch where I tend to promptly remove my mail shortly after the mailperson deposits it into it's proper receptacle (i.e. the mailbox).

Guess what's inside? Don't want to guess, okay, I'll tell you anyway.

It's a lovely postcard from Universal Orlando - Passholder Program. Now, keep in mind, today is Wednesday, March 27th, right?

Here's the event information, word for word.

Exclusive Passholder Event

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
20th Anniversary Celebration

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial returns to theatres March 22nd. To mark this special occasion, Saturday, March 23rd you're invited to enjoy exclusive admittance to the newly refurbished E.T. Adventure attraction, teaturing special new 20th Anniversary graphics and a new pre-show video hosted by Steven Spielberg.

Limited Edition Collector Pins

Plus, we're introducing six new E.T. 20th Anniversary commemorative collector pins. A different pin will be released each month from March through Agust, 2002. As an annual passholder, you'll receive 10% off the price of each pin. Plus, with our pin purchase you'll be able to purchase a pin-collecting lanyard for 50% off the regular price.

Universal Orlando

I guess they didn't want me to jump on a plane and head to Florida for the blessed event, or they would have made an attempt to get this information to us passholders ahead of time.

What I really would like to know is WHY they even bother to waste the money on postage, paper, ink, etc?

Ok, I'm done, little rant over.

I would like to add that I did think the revamped E.T. attraction looked fabulous when we were there earlier this month.

If you think it looked good then, wait until you see it now.

Rhonda: If you checked the postmark it was sent out in late February...

It's just that when the horse and buggy Pony Express of Texas reaches Garland out there in the boondocks, the show's OVER!!

Maybe Rhonda will benefit from the next postage stamp increase and they will buy a new horse.

We're hoping for a new sled dog.
