<p><b>After a couple weeks I guess it is time for some more
pictures. </b></p>
<p><b>Well, we are off, leaving Epcot and heading over to the Contemporary for a
late afternoon dinner at Chef Mickey's and then a night at Mickey's Very Merry
Christmas Party. A good size group of DIS'ers were supposed to be there,
let's see who was there (Hope I get all or most of these names right, lots of
folks here. If errors, please let me know)</b></p>

A quick trip from Epcot on the 'highway in the sky' and we were at the
Contemporary in nothing flat, ready for a fun evening.</b></p>

<p><b>Chef Mickey's is always great fun, and so much more so with a big group of
DIS'ers on hand. Here the ever playful Dale plays with Jdubbs' (John) and
Tanya's daughter, Meghan. She is such a cutie.</b>

shooting here, what with it being night, lots of movement and trying to not use
flash on most of them, along with an 800 speed setting giving a
graininess. Additionally, at the parade area, I was contending with
colored spotlights fighting with the camera settings. But there are some
decent ones here.</font></b></i>
