Very tired and only have a little news and a few pics this week.
Oddly, around 10:00 this morning, virtually every attraction in Tomorrowland went down. There was some power issue. Throughout the day Buzz stopped on nearly every ride. In fact, just after I boarded, the ride stopped and the lights went off entirely. Never seen that before.
Crowds were exceptionally light this morning... in all parts of the park other than SWL. It was very off to see so few people there.
The rope was moved up to the castle entryway (just before it narrows after the hub). That's always been my preferred rope drop. Guests are closer to FL and there are few runners. Also, everyone gets an equal start. As we've probably all seen, sometimes one side of the hub gets to go a few seconds before one of the others sides, giving those people an advantage.
We rode Soarin' around 10:30. That's the first time I've done that ride since last Summer. As many of you probably know, they've extended the old Soarin' till the end of August (originally I believe it was only intended to last until the end of June.
We were first in line for PP. Often if there are kids/parents with kids immediately behind me, I'll offer them my first place position. I did that this morning with two kids and a mom but there was some confusion once we entered the housing and a number of people went the wrong way. We ended up being first after all.
That's about it. I'm wiped out and I fly out to Chicago tomorrow morning. Back here in three weeks. Until then, look to see me no more ;-).

On this ride, I actually broke 2M on both guns, however on the left one, I exceeded 2,096,000 and, as you can see, my score was reset and that's why the score is so low.
