Okay time to share some low point tidbits.
I had one on the 17th. Somewhere around 4:30 in the afternoon as we were setting up camp in front of the castle, in the hot sun and steaming asphault. I took on the quest to find an "I was There" T-shirt. Easy, I thought -just a hope down to the Emporeum and then I'll be back to help hold down the fort. Alas, the Emporeum only had sizes Medium and Small, no problem - the CM said they should have them at DCA or WoD. So off I went - leaving the park - and returning to DCA.
I should have known better than to leave Disneyland on it's birthday. The CMs there told me that stuff was a Disneyland exclusive, none was in DCA. Great, so off I go to Star Trader - where the CM's restocking the women's shirts tell me they have run out of the men's, but that I might want to check out the Gag Factory. Off I go to Toontown, where I find a few remaining shirts - all size small.
Defeated, I returned to our site where I was ready to lie down and melt into the pavement. I failed to get the shirt, I had left the park, and missed the Space Mountain quest. Feh.
Thankfully, I was soon joined by friends, got some ice cream, some water, and enjoyed spectacular commaraderie - and fireworks too! But man, I was miserable for a moment there.
