We had reservations for today and have canceled them.

t's raining now with predictions of thunderstorms...possibly severe.

Not the kind of weather to sit outside.

We are there now!!!!
At this point it's dry but who nows....
She speaks very clear and loud.
We are outside the theater, line to get in is just insane at 3.30 the line was already halfway between America and Germany.
Show just started and the line for the next showing is Italy.

I'm at the back but Emiel went to take some photos just outdide the theater.
He has some nice photos of the choir and from Whoopi!!!
If it works we will post them, don't promiss anything.

Whoopi is singing together with the choir!!!!!

We didn't stayed for the whole show.
It started to rain so we didn't want to stand there and get wet.
We went to France for a snack and went to do Soarin with Fastpasses

Thanks for the info Yvet. Enjoy the rest of your night. I hope you got yourself a nice dessert in the pastery shop?

DD and I plan to see one of her performances tomorrow night. I don't plan on going into the theater for CP but am looking forward to seeing her. I will have my camera and am hoping the dryer forecast for tomorrow is accurate.

This being our first day, DD and I toughed out the weather and got very lucky. It rained intermittently but I never heard thunder. Ironically, the wettest I got was on Kali River Rapids (Expedition Everest was a close second). I have a windburned face, however.

I looked for everyone but the smart folks stayed indoors, I guess.

Tijuana flats is incredible. I'm thinking of changing my dinner plans to go back a second time.

Here now (4:00 pm) in Japan. CP package line is backed up to here. Standby line was to the train set in Germany at 3:30.

Some folks are staking out spots in front of us pavillion.

Hope to catch the 8 pm show.

Been looking for yvet and emiel without luck.

Oh my goodness. I will be standing there trying to see Whoopi at the early show.

Whoopi just ducked into the gift shop in France. The CMs went nuts. She was in and out the back door before many folks noticed. I didn't see her as I was looking for something to photograph. That's the story of my life. Fame is so fleeting.

The crowds are huge for Whoopi. She is now my no. 1 fav reader

I attribute that to her being a trekker.

Waiting for the 8:15 performance along with the rest of the world.

Not really. :) Maybe you will be closer than I was. I wasn't able to move up any closer.

It's time to put that longer lens on my Wish List. :) I didn't have a seat and it was very crowded.

This is my favorite. I have a few others that turned out ok but DD and I were at rope drop this morning and I can't keep my eyes open any longer.

I find her to be very offensive, and I would not go see her if you paid me. Anyone who defends a 40 year old man raping a 13 year old girl is dispicable in my book.

We saw her on Friday night... she did a wonderful job... no surprise there.
I like her message at the end that we need to be inclusive in our worship no matter what our beliefs our. It was a very powerful message and a great reminder. She praised the younger folks who were singing. It truly was a moving experience. I can't say enough.

I saw the 8:15 show on Friday. It never rained a drop on me the whole time I was at EPCOT but POURED when I got home!

I thought she did a great job and it looked like she had a great time doing it.
