Well, here's another picture I have to wait to see!
Not ugly...functional but not ugly.
LL.....you really are a light fixture's best friend!
Mary Ellen, you have some awesome pictures of the Hollywood Hotel! You might need to submit to a magazine. Very artistic!
Thanks Anita. That's a really nice compliment. I really ejoyed taking those pictures. It was still fairly pleasant outside in the shade and my "nerves" where in check, so I used the time to my advantage!
GREAT TOT pictures! really fabulous detail. As much as I love your AK pics, some of these might be my absolute favs.
Perhaps because I have such a love/hate relationship with this ride...
Thanks Cynthia...again, what a nice compliment. Just one problem.......there is another picture here that I can't see, but I think it must be one of mine. I hate to be in the dark!
So much to comment on!
First, CONGRATS to Brian and his team! Any recent updates there? How are they doing in the state competitions?
Thanks Brooke. We are excited and nervous to begin the tournament. See above for an update!
So much to comment on!
Love your TOT pics! Some really cool angles and details I've never really noticed while going through the line.
Thank you! It really was fun taking those pics!!!!! I was getting better at taking pics by my 4th day! I certainly had enough practice by now!
Your May ADRs are looking very tasty. As far as your birthday, I am all about a Kona breakfast. Amazing coffee, good food, beautiful resort!

I'm with ya on wanting to stay there someday. I truly hope they manage to build DVC there somehow. Or maybe we will splurge for 2 nights there or something sometime down the line!
I think Kona would be a fun breakfast. I know my friends would love it because they enjoy good coffee. Would that be the coolest thing - if they built DVC there. People would be beating down the DVC kiosks to get in there. I really believe that! Maybe someday I will do a splurge, too!
I also love your gate shot from Pop! I had no idea that was there! Very cool. I've never managed to get a picture of the gates. Perhaps in December I will sit at the FRONT of the ME bus and attempt to snag one.
Thank you! Pop does have some great views - the gate, Spaceship earth, and the balloon at DTD (crap - I forget the name right now). Definately try for the front of the bus so you can get your shot!!!!!
Loved all your updates on MNSHHP. Sounds like a really wonderful night, relaxing and enjoyable with walk-on rides.

That parade always looks so amazing. I am not into Halloween or even remotely creepy things, but the detail and theming of that parade is just fantastic. I hope to catch the Christmas parade in December because I have heard that one is pretty good too!
We had a wonderful time. I've never been a huge Halloween person either, but the theming was irresistable.
You should try to go to the Christmas party. It's really fun, too. I love being to get there and then call member services to add the tickets. It's so convenient. Enjoy, if you go!
Great ToT pictures! As someone who is too chicken for that ride

I enjoyed seeing the detailing!
I know my girlfriend won't ride in May either, but I am going to drag her in there so she can see everything. It's definately worth a visit. I'm going to look for some of the things I learned about in my Hidden Magic book.
Mmmmmm....ToT!!! I love it!!!!! One of the best parts of that ride is that we don't have to do child swap for it! Our littlest can go on it and actually loves it! Your pictures are great! Sometimes waiting in those lines for a bit is worth it from a photographic standpoint!
That is so great that all your kids love ToT. Its so much fun when the whole family can ride together. I bet you have some good ride pics! Glad you enjoyed the queue pictures. The ride was DEFINATELY worth to wait to get those pictures. I had a lot of fun going back and looking at them last night!
Great pics from TOT!! Thanks for sharing because I'll never see it in person! I'm too chicken!

Stop!~You can go back in there and check at the queue. It's seriously easy to take the non-ride route out of there. Promise me you will go see for yourself in January!
What great ToT pictures!! You are so brave to do that ride - I rode it once and never again!

I just don't like drops!
Looks like you had another fun morning!!
I'm glad I rechecked my TR because I almost missed this!!!!!!! See what happens when you try to post and you are actually busy at work.....Not a good combo.
I'm so glad you like the pictures.
How long ago did you ride ToT???? I SWEAR it has gotten easier. They used to say there is a motor that pushes the cars down during the fastest drop. I think they changed that! I have no proof, but the bad drops just don't feel as intense.
If its been over 2 or 3 years since you tried it, I think you need to ride it again. Seriously, I am a huge chicken and I think its getting tamer!
Tracy - I will be back to reply soon. I gotta go do something for work now. Be back soon!
