I actually rode on it last Sunday. The conductors hadn't been given any
hard and fast rules about it yet and since I was practically leping out
of my skin with excitment, and I'm a member of the Carolwood Pacific
Historical Society to boot, they let me and my wife on for a ride.
Greatest Disney park experience I have ever had. Our conductor said we
were lucky as during the week they expected a lot of edicts to come out
of Town Hall regarding the use of the LB and any special treats like we
were having that day would be totally off-limits.

Anyway it was a big thrill.

Well, that's the way it was always intended to be. VIPs and special
guests only. Honestly, it's far too nice inside to withstand he
traipsing of a million guests a week or whatever. My wife and I were
walking very gingerly indeed! And hoping the baby woldn't barf on the
upholstery (he didn't!)

The conductors seemed to think it would be for Club 33's, possibly
special tours and of course VIPs.
