Anyone planning on going to the Apple Store opening tomorrow morning at The Mall of America? The Apple web site says the store will open at 9:00, and the store is on the first floor of the South side of the mall.

Previous Apple Store openings have created 3-hour, 1500-people lines. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the mall - does the mall let people in before the stores open at 9:00? Would you guess that the line will start at the Apple Store? When do you think you'd have to be there to be one of the first 1000?

I am going to get there at about 7:45 to 8 and I don't expect to be the first in line, but hopefully within the first 1000. The store probably will not open until 9:30, because Apple is having trouble getting permission to open before any of the other stores open (but plan for a nine opening just to be safe). If you call directly to the store they tell you that it will open at 9:30.
Also, Sat. is the malls ninth birthday party, so expect a lot of other people too! Free cake at noon! The mall should be open quite a bit before nine because it is opened for "mall walkers" who walk around the mall in the mornings before the stores open.

Hey by the way, I live in Eau Claire too! See you at the big mall!
