"Check out MY 'Tower Of Terror' "

"Which way to WhoreyBook Land"

"Another Broadside and she goes down"

"Go Down With Nemo - Coming Soon"

Sorry, but that was last year's.


(the back featured: "How's about a nice, juicy bone?")

I went on Saturday and participated in the Scavenger Hunt. We had so much fun! I have to give two :snap: :snap: and a twist to whoever organized. Can't wait to do it again next year!!

Fun day !

I didn't participate in any of the official or unofficial events and/or meets.

I had a date :)

Yeah I feel it's difficult to top my last year's shirt, BUT this year I did those iron on letters and made two: Saturday was "Barely Even Friends, Then Somebody Bends -- Unexpectedly" and Sunday was "Darling It's Better Down Where It's Wetter" :) Iron on letters take for-f'ing-ever to do...

I definitely got some compliments, but of course you had to be somewhat of a Disney nerd to get that they were lyrics. Some of the people that didn't "get it" were CMs, which sort of annoyed me. But I definitely got some good reactions from people!!!

So as far as the whole Gay Day event is concerned, I had a blast this year. The reason I had a blast was because of the people I was with and the new friends I met -- I always seem to hang out with awesome people (like Jonno and CM Justin on Sunday) and on Saturday, the Cove Bar was basically The Boom Boom Room, which was SO SO SO much fun. The wandering around in packs of red shirts looking for other red shirts was fantastic, just a good vibe all around with that aspect.

That being said, I had fun despite the way it is being organized. Yes, I love Jeff Epstein (the organizer) and Worthy (the drag queen Momma) who do it every year but the problem with Gay Days are twofold:

1) There's a big push on the PARTIES and not the PARKS. The Kingdom dance is nice and (expensive) and all, with some good hosts, but really, I can go to the House of Blues any time I want. I can go to West Hollywood any time I want. When events were IN the parks, they were interesting. Now, out of the parks, I have zero interest in going, and not just because I don't drink. When you're in the park, they're really pushing you to go to the outside events, instead of having some kind of big fun memorable happening inside the parks. Which brings me to point #2.

2) There are TOO MANY things planned at the parks. This might not seem like a negative, but the problem comes when there are so many things, all of them are sparsely attended. Even the photo ops this year and last were sparsely attended.

Goth day has TWO major things to do, and EVERYONE comes to those: 1) the photo at the castle, and 2) the Haunted Mansion at nite. EVERYONE is participating in the organized events, and thus the organized events are memorable.

With Gay Days, on the other hand, you had: Single Riders Gathering, Youth Scavenger Hunt, Family Lunch, Ladies Who Lunch, Bear Lunch, Youth Lunch, Group Photo, Scavenger Hunt, Parade Meet, Couple Dinner, Cocktail Party, Youth Dinner, Kingdom Dance, Late Movie.

That's 14 events, in one day. Sorry, but that is about 11 too many. People are going to pick and choose one or maybe two of those things to do. So why not make ONE event "THE EVENT" to do? Why not have an all gay-days Small World ride, a-la what Goth Day does for the Mansion? There's certainly room to take small 100 person group photos a-la Goth Mansion...

I've let Jeff and Worthy know about those issues, multiple times, but they are going to keep doing what they are doing.

Oh well. I'm still going to go every year because of the fun vibe in the parks (and since the people I meet specifically on gay days somehow end up sticking around as longer-term friends). Yeah, I had a freekin blast a few weekends ago!!!

Hmm, look who just recovered from Gay Day festivities to finally give her report.
;) :D

OMG! Chernie, i LOVE your shirts ("wetter" is my favorite).

LMAO!!! heheh it's been a looooooooooong couple of weeks fo'sho. Last weekend I was getting my costume together for Halloween, since I'm doing that Mickey Not So Scary thing at the Magic Kingdom in WDW (I'm going as Lindsay Lohan: Fully Loaded... complete with Disneyland birthday button) and doing the LA AIDS Walk. Plus I am looking for a new job, so if anyone hears of anyone needing an attorney, let me know!! (At least it's nice to look while I'm still working, so I'm not crazy-desperate or anything)

But enough of a Cherny LoT Check-in ;) heheh I miss you guys!!! When's the next fun outing in November? (Witches of Morva is going to be in town the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend, just FYI) :D

Thanks for the (late) report about the vibe still being vibrant. I'm very encouraged, and will look forward to re-attending next year.
