A very enjoyable evening once the rain had stopped , great to see some old faces and some new ones aswell. Huge thanks to Wayne for arranging it and for putting the 50 dollars behind the bar (not doing his reputation as a tight northerner much good ) Hope Paula took it easy with the handbags Luke she was planning on doing a lot of your dollars today she told us

Hope Wayne got his dining credits sorted out although i did see him Karen and Matt sharing a cheese sandwich earlier today so i dont think they did give him his credits back and finally thanks to Nigel for the lift home. All in all a great night with some super people, roll on the next one

Great pics Wayne! We had loads of fun!! Weather was perfect once that pesky rain stopped!!

I'm back stalking wifi while Paula buys handbags in Coach

Sounds like a good trade to me, I l-u-r-v Coach! Did Paula get any bargains? It's at the top of my shopping list for when we arrive!

$200 in Coach, so could have been worse! We're back at the Mall at Millennia now tho so hmmmm (I am within touching distance of Apple tho, dare I check their iPad stock?! )

Was great to put faces to names, and as I said, today's weather has been great because I didn't venture into a theme park

Breakfast at Ohana yesterday.

This evening ate a Kona cafe, one we were not sure about but had a really nice meal there, Matt and Karen started with salad, I ate Karens as she didn't like the blue cheese on it.
Entrees, Matt and Karen had chicken noodles which were really good, I had the teryaki New York strip, this has to be one of the most tender tastiest steaks I have ever eaten. Desserts Karen & Matt had cheesecake which is up at the top of my cheesecake list at joint 1st with Captains grille, I had choc fondu which was superb, waitress also brought us out some anniversary cupcakes.

Into MK for the evening.

yummy pictures Wayne!!!

the crowd at MK is exactly how it was every single evening i was there in June!
I thought i was going to die there were so many people...

the first night i arrived, i went to MK at about 8:30....there were so many people arriving at the same time that i seriously thought i'd be crushed so i left...

the next few times, i arrived much earlier so that i wouldn't encounter the huge crush of people arriving just for the parade/fireworks..

but then i made the same mistake again with my mom and sister..
we arrived at about 9:05, after the parade had already started...

i really seriously thought we were going to die....i have never seen so many people in the mainstreet area in my life and i've been there on the 4th of July....it was truly insane.....and i think possibly dangerous had there been an emergency (think germany)...

i meant to write a letter to management telling them that i thought they're playing with fire....those little CMs are simply not up to controlling crowds of that size...

i forgot to say that during one of my backstage tours when i was there in June - the CMs said that MK was setting new records for numbers of people entering the park in the evening...
they even mentioned that first night i arrived in WDW - they said it was a new record for number of people entering the park so late in the evening and all at one time...
i can definitely attest to the insane size of the crowd!!!
i guess summernightastic must have been a success for them in terms of bringing people into the park...

What was the first chocolate cake yummy looking goodie in your last post Wayne? Was it choc cake or a brownie? It looks .

I was also wondering where you were standing for the MK fireworks show as you seemed to be elevated slightly above the Main Street Crowd. I thought the Main St station, but it didn't look like you were high enough to have been standing there. Mmmmm, those crowds bring back memories of one night at MK

One more thing (why do I always have so much to say ), I really like the photo in the ferry. I must try and remember that when we go.

We saw Wayne, Karen & Matt going on their way to MK. When we arrived into park from EPCOT at 8:30 people were 6-10 deep all along route for Electric Parade, Finally got a spot near to Splash Mountain, only about 4 from the front. Made our way back to Main Street for fireworks and ended up standing about 6 feet from fuse04 (Rob). Managed to take some video on my compact as a keep sake. Display seemd a bit of mixture between Wishes and the Pirates & Princess shows

I reckon that Matt could have taken it
At 6ft 3" he has the unfair advantage of arriving 2 minutes before the show and still getting a brilliant view!

Remind me to ask Matt if he would like to accompany us in October. I too would love to have that unfair advantage

It sounds like you are a magnet for the DISers. I have often wondered how many times I have stood next to or even spoken to people from the DIS without even knowing it. I suppose you will spot them more easily if you know what they look like.
