Every day I asked the TMs for word of a soft opening on MM and they knew nada. Things changed on Wednesday.
Here is what happened late Wednesday afternoon. It had been raining and we had been hanging around in hopes the 5:00 parade would still happen. It didn't. At some point, we headed to Spongebob Storepants so DD12 could have a look and she wound up getting her pic taken with SB.
After SB was done with pics, he disappeared through a door in back of the store with his handler and it was then I started paying attention to a group of 6-8 people by that magic door. They had been there a while, confabbing. Adults, men and women, in nonstop discussion. The men were in ties, but their "dress shirts" had a Universal theme. Some of the women had on skirts and heels. All in all, they were not "suits" as one might typically think of them, but they were way above the level of a TM. So I eased closer and they were deep in discussion regarding ways to make the store better.
So I decided to chat a bit and tell them what I thought of them store.

Interrupted, if you will.

And while I was at it, yes, I asked about MM. One of them asked me a lot of questions in return and then wanted to know how long I was in town. When he found out I was leaving the next day, he indicated I was sooooo close. I got the impression that if I had said I was there a few more days, he was going to give me a thumbs up. So we chatted a bit more and I went to tell DH the news.
DH said, "Go give them our phone number and if they'll text you, I'll drive you back here after we leave the beach so you can ride MM." So I dashed back in the store, but they too had disappeared through the magic door, right along with SB. Oh well. Right then, I knew I had narrowly missed my chance.
I was going to post this info then, but I swear, I am useless typing on that phone.

At any rate, I was right.
