thank you very much, 
i caught him...in self defense...but he was in the 350 lbs range
& i am not as young as i used to be. he was like a swimmer
drowning so we really tangle. he had the baby in one hand
2-4 mos., but he had very big hands. it happened so fast,
that i did not stop to thing about my camera. kind of
like the kid in the christmas story.....holding the tire bolts.
it was there one second & gone the next.
we are dvc members & just did the alaska cruise. we only had
a standard room, on the third floor but the view was out of
this world.
our two days were beautiful. there were certain things we were
trying for, but after the cruise..we were dragging. however, we
still accomplished 90% of it. i tok alot of pictures of the pinocchio
ride..because in 1960, that was my first disney movie. the
last time we were there ( 2008-pc cruise), small world was being
worked on. this was a goal because of the world' fair. i took
pictures of all the new dolls dressed as the disney movies-
cindy, alice, stitch, mulan {above on the carpet],
toy story- jesse/woody on ponies- so forth. why? we have
2 adult sons, and then blessed with a big surprise. she has
been doing disney since she was 2. she's now 14. almost
every time the characters -any character see her..they
refer to her as "ariel". that isn't her name but if ever saw her ,
you would think she was.
in reality, all of our trips since 99 - & dvc [ we're blt owners ],
is because of her! this was the first time i have caught the
little show from the clock.
! that's because my wife
& lil' ariel was shopping in the small world store.
we did the lil'-boats...& took pictures of the lil'~castles. it was
a fun thing to do on such a pretty day. { our first day , was
less crowded by far!]
we wore these matching shirts- they're of a real mouse trying on
mickey clothes. every where we went..cast members/ guests
were asking us about them.
want know what really impressed us? the castle "walk through"
re-telling the sleeping beauty story. my lil'-camera may have been
cheap..but it took great pictures of that!
yes, we rode the new star wars 4x. 3 were different. the one we
liked the most was with the robot & going into the sea. wanta
to be the spy?..make sure to "wait" to be instructed to put
on your glasses. * noticed- none with glasses on?
goofy helped the band outside the firehouse. i 'm going to miss
those pictures.
for reasons i don't know..my daughter's favorite ride is mr. toad!
twice now, we have not ridden the pooh ride. her second was
the cure lil'~monster inc. ride. any ride i get to set down is my
favorite.
we brought the cute little character key-chains & placed them
on our baggage. wants know what was the longest time for?
to see the tangle girl! have you taken a picture of the tower
outside the greeting area? oh, the wait was always 2 hrs or more
when we checked. wow! [ lucky us, we did it last christmas @ wdw.
somehow , pasquel ended on top of my head. ] what my daughter
wanted to do, was a picture without her pony tail. i have no
idea why?
2 movies that we think are outstanding & disney liked--are rango-
does have johnny depp- & "despicable me."
tid bit....on our first visit , 2008, we met a very nice
cast member. he was a cousin of donnie /marie. by chance my
wife 's uncle was the osmonds' tour driver. he gave us special
fast passes. however, my daughter became ill so we never
got to used them. this time, we asked & the gave us new ones.
...here's the 
, they kept giving us them back
after we used them. wasn't that lucky?
we met some college students working on their degrees. they
& us, + the guide @ the lil'~mermaid gave us an extra ride.
well after all..shouldn't there been @ least one perk for being the
father of the real ariel?
we did the picnic! and glad we did! however, sometimes too much
magic is bothersome.....the lady on the mickey wheel kept us
on for extra ride but that also made us late getting in. my
14 y/o is taller than me. but we made friends with everyone
around so i still got to see.
one dangerous situation was afterward. those coming for the second
show made a complete wall [near the grizzle mill] because there
were not enough staff to prevent it. they were blocking our way to
return back to our hotel.
pictures? i took those posters in the window on main street to match
the ones we did 2008. you have to take them @ angle to reduced
the glass refection. i think they are new dvd releases...but i am
too disappointed to recall. if you are near [ on the left side
@ the beginning ] , would be grateful. we used them as our
family tradition....showing what's out when were there.
we were amazed @ the painting --how they did forced perception!
we watched & saw..and still couldn't believe the results when
others posed for pictures.
sorry for talking so much. hope i didn't bored your readers too much.
why? your pictures....it is self evident that you have a great
appreciation for the true meanings of disneyland & a keen eye
in capturing its best feelings. in that it's more than pure talent,
but the insights to find the lil'things that makes it special. there
are many pictures we took the same thing...like the lamp-posts /
signs.
christmas -2007, i spent it by traveling all over wdw, for the same
kind of pictures.
thanks again,

thanks again,
I hope that you and your family have a magical time at DL in November. R u going to be at DL during the Holiday season? I looked at your countdown and it looks like it is the first week of November. But I could be wrong, just wondering what day you will be down there. It is always good to hear that everyone in your family loves to go to the Disney parks. Your DD will love the rides at DL.
