Aw! I promises you will be there before you know it. Well, maybe not that soon, but it will get here and then you'll be the one giving me Dis-envy!

Hm. I be startin' to wonder if Frick is gonna share any of her photos one of these days.

OH! Speaking of photos I just edited #200 from day 2. I am making progress, slowly but surely!!

Well then. I mights be able to forgive you since - you know - you didn't pull a me and erase them for good ...

I promise there will be more to come .... on Monday. I finished another 50 photos today but I have to eat and sleep before work tonight (10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. - oh joy!!) and we're heading off to Half Moon Bay tomorrow!

Lol.. we were in the same places several times over the weekend. I was in Fantasyland for early entry on Saturday as well.

That's too funny! We probably kept running circles around each other.

Dole Whips or bull whips??
Day 2 cont.​

Let's see now, what came after character mania? Oh, yeah. There must have been a pretty hefty line at the ATM machine because I got to see all of those characters and Frick still wasn't done getting her money. I'm pretty sure she said something about it not wanting to work for her at first either. I swear she kept getting all of my bad vibes while we were gone - I normally have one heck of a time getting technology to work for me. Well, that's not always true. My laptop and my camera are my friends, but anything outside of that ... not so much.

Next up for us to go grab a Dole Whip - and the first ever that little 'ol me has ever had.

Now, no flaming or anything, but I just don't see the big deal with them. I finished it, but it's not something I think I'll ever try again. I don't even know how to describe why I don't like it, but I don't. I think I may try the float though, but after that I'm done. Maybe I'm just not a pineapple person, who knows because I sure don't. Since they were only a few minutes away from starting another showing, we decided to chill out and sing like the birdies sing. Tweet, tweet tweet, tweet tweet. I am a big fan of the Tiki Room!

Frick has been having some troubles getting her images onto her computer so hopefully soon she'll be able to start sharing some because I know she took a lot more pictures than I did in the Tiki Room. Without my tripod I hate taking pictures in the dark because in order to really get something most of the time you are either going to get a lot of motion-blur (which I don't like) or if you have your camera on a higher ISO setting you are going to get a grainy image (which I also don't like). But I did like the pictures that I took, so that's all that matters.

After that we made a bee-line straight for Indy to use our FastPass and ended up with less than 10 minutes of wait time. Or actually, make that walk time because to go the ride you sure do have a lot of walking to do!

How bad would it be if I told you closing my eyes on that ride reminds me of me driving my grandmother's convertible? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I can't believe I ever hated that ride. It's definitely tied for my 3rd favorite at Disneyland. It's only behind Pirates, Mansion, and tied with Jungle Cruise for nostalgia reasons, but it is officially up there for me. I had a lot of fun with it, but I will never get on it without utilizing those FP!!

The only time I have ever ridden Indiana Jones was right after falling down after tripping. By the time I was done I felt like I had been in a car wreck. I will ride I again though because I really thought it was a great ride.

Owies! I could see how that may not be a lot of fun! Definitely give it another go when you are able to get down there next. I'm sad I only went on twice while were there. I am definitely making a mental note to go a few more times than that when I go for my birthday.

I agree about wanting to use the fastpasses. That is the only way to ride it. The queue is so long, although it is a cool one. One ride I don't think I will ever go on again is Roger Rabbit, unless I have a fastpass. The last trip we went on we seemed to be in line for ever and the ride wasn't all that great IMHO.

If you go in the morning, Roger Rabbit isn't a bad wait. I'll get around to posting about our last day at some point and I can take a look at when I actually went on, but it wasn't even a 5 minute wait for me, so never used a fastpass for it. Indy was the only one we did, although we got one for Autopia but never used it.

I just didn't like it either. I haven't done Autopia since Kody was too short to reach the pedals and I would ride with her and do the pedals. Thankfully I never have to do it again. Not a favorite, I used to love that ride though. I think that POTC and HM are my favorites. I wonder if they are doing the holiday overlay on HM this year.

So I have to ask how was the Sleeping Beauty's Castle walk-throu. I was so devastated when I went to DLR in 2006 and it was all gone. Sadly the first time I went to DLR and it was still open I was too young to remember any of it.

That could do it. I don't think there are any rides I've been on that I wouldn't go back on because I didn't like them (or dare I say it, even hate??). One reason I've never done too many rides is because I'm more interested in photographs that will last longer than the memory of a ride. I like Autopia. I don't love it, but if the opportunity comes up I would definitely go for a spin.

I am so, so glad it's back! I do have to say that I was never there when it was open before, so for me it's all new, not something that has been brought back. I enjoyed it, although I wish we had found a time to walk through when it wasn't so crowded because I will say that I am a little claustrophobic. I love that the entrance isn't blaringly obvious, I actually overheard quite a few groups talking about how they missed it and didn't know where the entrance was. The 'scenes' weren't anything like I expected them to be either. They really come to life before you and it's more like looking through a window than just a plain old diorama. For some reason I always picture the kinds of things we used to make in elementary school. I know RiverLou got some pictures of it, if you wanted to see some - whenever she gets around to posting them.

Step in Time
Day 2 cont.​

It's so hard to pick my favorite part of Saturday, each time I think of something I did it's my #1 - but one that definitely stands out in my mind was the little show put on out in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle with non other than the beloved Mary Poppins, the Pearly Band, and my previously mentioned new favorite, Bert. No joke, that guy made my day unlike the other Bert who was seen on Monday before I left. It's a real 'hidden gem' of sorts, seeing as it isn't listed in the entertainment guide, but seeing as I didn't see them on Monday I am thinking it's a weekend thing only and was at about 1:30 p.m. if anyone is interested. Oh, and if anyone knows more about the times/days they do this, please let me know so I can make a note for it in September if they're still doing it.

Now I shall let the pictures do the talking themselves!
oh - and lets see who an spot the cheerleaders!!

OK, so there are a whole lot more where those came from in the album. Yay, it makes me want to get up and dance and sing just looking at them. They even pulled a few kids from the audience at the end at started dancing with them. It was so cute!

O.k. i just read to here by using your cheat links (yep Cheater cheater that's me!) I'm glad you had those. Thank You!!! *bowing smilie inserted here*

I love Mary Poppins. Always have!!! It would be so awesome if DW would do something like this. you know I guess I better put WDW otherwise it looks like I'm talking about my Dear or Darling Wife and I don't have one. i have a DH and it just depends on my mood as to what the D stands for!! J/K I have a good DH!

I love your style of writing and all those pics!!! Can't wait for more!!!

O.k. so.. we are just to the left of those cheerleaders. lol I didn't get nearly as many pics as you did though since my batteries died shortly after they started and I had left the spares in the room. They really were great!​

I like cheat sheets too - hence why I made it, lol. Not so sure how it'll work once the other girlie drops in to put her two cents in, but hey, the more the merrier so it will all work itself out.

Hope the rest of the TR doesn't disappoint! There will definitely be plenty more photos to come.

Well, dang! We really were just skirting around each other all day, weren't we? If you check the link to my Flickr there are even more pictures from that. It was a lot of fun to watch!
