Brain,
KK Quah and I were going to drive over for this Saturdays re-opening, but KK got
an email from the store manager tonight, that said they need to delay for
inspection... I don't know what they need to inspect, but I do know that this
will hold things up a day or two. As far as I know, Disney won’t let them take

so it may be Sunday or Monday when they open.
Let us know if they somehow open...
