Well, yeah...proving yet again I am the least consistent photographer (which is part of the reason why I have not yet shelled out for a new camera).
The day started off very rainy, it was pouring, in fact. NA and I did have some misgivings, but by the time we got to the park, no worries!
It was really amazing, look at the few grouchy people at the hub, this would prove to be ideal for it allowed us to make the most of the lack of people to walk on many rides. The first ride was Indy which was fabulous and was a proper start to my chiropractic session for the day.
NA proved to be a great hostess, and right after riding Thunder Mountain Railroad, we had a few additions to the group
and a happy group they were, maybe a touch over-twinked
The proof is in the PAN!
I'm sure this is something you'd never think you'd see, the backside of Mary Poppins.
Our very own Commodore joined us and proved to be most insistent about a visit to the Blue Bayou. But first he had to show off his latest purchase
Here we are at the Blue Bayou, gosh but I look really happy to be there and seem to be pleased with the menu choices!

The Commodore took charge and we split a Monte Cristo and an order of Crab Cakes. After noshing, we were joined by CoasterMatt and iSm
After this, my camera went into my bag only to resurface to take some weird night photos.
On IASW I sat next to Chris
Since I was sitting next to Chris and NA did not get a chance to make out with him on IASW, not to miss a chance to be on the phone connection, she was yakking with Lindyhop
iSm, EM, CM and I then rode on the Matterhorn, NO LINE, and it was my first at night, which was totally fabulous! Sorry we could not repeat the experience.
Camping out at the hub for the fireworks I took a couple of blurry shots of the castle and many black blobs which should have been the castle.
Based on this I knew better than to even try taking pics of the fireworks, which were BTW, the most fantastic fireworks display I've ever seen. The projections and park tributes were fabulous.

Then I took a shot of the Astro-Orbiter for no good reason
GD & CP showed up, fresh from the airport for the fireworks (but I took no more pictures, for which I am sure you will thank me). We did a great Jungle Cruise and then Fantasmic, which was also just spectacular.
My head is still all fuzzy from lack of sleep, but on this first day I can't stress how much fun I had! And who knew, there was more fun in store.....
