Sorry for late notice.

With the amount of RSVPs, we want to ensure we use most, if not all, pre-purchased Adventureland tickets, we will be allowing parents/guardians to show up in the AM @ MSS and claim remaining tickets.

There are 200 tickets. We will get a headcount in the morning for SYAP kids and interns, and put tickets aside for them. Then the remaining tickets will be handed out on a first come first serve basis.

Transportation will NOT be provided.

Thank you,
