What little time I had to swank was such fun. :cheers:

Fantastic day, even with the Breakfast Fiasco. As I droned on about at the Jazz Kitchen table, I love all of you! :) Our pics to follow.

Wow! What a wonderful day that was. Breakfast burgers (am I crazy or are they not as good as they used to be) followed by the awesome Toy Story Zoetrope which was phenomenal. A quick nearly elevator filling ride on ToT (who where those two other people) that led to screamy goodness. Then off to the real park for the bathroom and locker rides. Always exciting. Another FP run for Space by iSm.

There was some Haunted action, thundery delight and great people watching. Even better, watching (and filming) people watch TheaterTech in his fantastic ensemble that had him looking down upon Maleficent.

Watching the castle transform in a snowy delight then a rush to the Jazz Kitchen where it happened to be a certain MonorailMan's big birthday and all were in attendance, even he whose name is only whispered and gestured.

A sprint by iSm and I (capturing Bornieo in tow locked arm in arm on the way) to make it into the park for the beginning of the fireworks. The LoT others meandered in eventually for a delightfully sudsy conclusion.

A ride on space followed by light watching where the rainbow glasses were clearly trumped afterwards by Jew and Snowflake lenses (particularly spectacular during fireworks). A group photo, farewellagains and a quick departure. Or not.

A sudden change of plans (spontaneity rocks) left Eliza, He Who No Longer Posts, and me in an empty Christmasy Disneyland to enjoy for ourselves for a bit longer. This was perhaps the most magical part of the day. I always love walking around DL when it is empty, and since the 50th, those opportunities seem increasingly rare. But with the Christmas decorations, a chill in the air and the wonderful company and passionate insider stories shared while walking about and taking it all in. Well it was a delightful cocktail indeed.

Quite the nightcap to a fantastic day.

Coffee is a miracle drug this morning. Donna and I are both pretty zonked. But, man did I sleep well.

Such a fantastic day! I was tired to begin with (hence the constant rounds of the Hokey Pokey and other Children's classics). I don't think I'll need to eat again for another 2 days!

I think the most amazing this was how many wonderful people are a part of this group! I loved every minute of every person who spent time with us. We are truely blessed.

But no, we didn't get out of there till 9:23pm.




NO MORE MEALS AT THE DISNEYLAND RESORT!!!

In all fairness - there was a (very necessary and awesome) side trip group that did not arrive at the Jazz Kitchen at 6pm, so we did not start ordering until much later. If we actually go for a 6pm reservation, we will be fine for fireworks.

Eh, fireworks are every night. a 3 1/2 dinner with wonderful friends doesn't.

Gn2Dlnd 12-17-2007 02:47 PM

Thank God. 3 1/2 dinners every night would kill me.

Pass the turducken.
