That actually makes it a little easier for us...we don't have to leave the house quite so early.   :)

Yes, this change in the Opening Gate time was actually made so Archduchess Gwyndolyn and Princess Anna have extra time to get their bumrolls out of bed and make it to Morning Meeting on time!

OOPS, was that my outside voice??  LOL

WE LOVE YOU WENDY AND PAULA!!  :-*

OOOOOOooooooooo.....

My dear King....  If the Archduchess wasn't so busy making sure that everyone else is on track and such!!!!!   (and snuggling with his majesty..... ooops was that my outside voice??? *LOL*)

The time change came about for several reasons.  The Merchants, the patrons, the cast and crew, the owners, EVERYONE had a say in this.  And it was decided that 9:00 was just to early and more paytrons would be at opening if we moved the time to 10:00 (as the ones that came in a bit later were upset that they did miss opening) soooooooo.... it is being changed!!

The time change will make things a lot less hectic in the morning for us.
Thank you.
