We have attended 1 in WA state, tried 2nd one in NE Florida but it was packed full. Yes, 5 hours of fun! (incl 2.5 hour line to get inside venue)
Wow you got inside by only waiting 2.5 hours in line??
We waited in line about 6 hours in Mesa last year and got pretty close to the podium.
Great day, besides being a few feet away from our great President, we met a whole bunch of really awesome people!!
