I'll be there this weekend (10/20-10/23)!

I wanted to ask a couple of questions and warn you all that my sister and I were going to be hanging around the parks this coming weekend (along with all those people from Utah

). Arriving in the parks early/mid afternoon on Thursday, and my flight doesn’t leave until Monday, so we’ll be around most of the weekend!

First – because it’s been a LONG time since my sister and I have been at Disneyland together (Sept 2001), we aren’t sure how much we’ll be in commando touring mode on Sunday, otherwise we’d try to arrange a meet. But if there is a ‘standing’ meet on Sunday – can someone please post the particulars. I realize many of the park regulars have been in the park A LOT this past weekend, and may not be up to visiting again, though.

I’m planning on wearing a ‘Katrina’ T-shirt on Sunday – black and big yellow letters on the back that say “Recovery is a Marathon, not a Sprint” – so if anyone sees me – say “Howdy” – I’m an overweight 5’10” 40-year-old female, and my sister is about 5’7 (I think) and has a birthday on Saturday, so she’ll be wearing a birthday sticker (on Sat only)! (She’s my younger sister, but not by much, but I’m still not posting HER age in a public forum!)

So - a few questions:

What are your favorite places to watch the two parades, particularly since they both have show stops? Is there a big difference in the DL parade seeing it during the day vs at night? What about favorite fireworks locations that you don’t have to camp out for 2 hours? Fantasmic!?

Our ‘plan’ (subject to change) is to catch the fireworks on Friday, and if it’s not crazy un-doable, watch the later Fantasmic! Saturday, watch Fantasmic! (probably the later one), and fireworks from the Rivers area. Any tricks/tips for seeing both on the same day?

And finally, at an ‘early’ dinner hour on Saturday, would we need reservations for Storytellers? We stayed at GCH in Sept 01 and enjoyed our meals there, and it seemed like a decent ‘mid priced’ option for her birthday dinner (we’re going to WDW right after Thanksgiving and plan on a few ‘nicer’ meals, so don’t want to over-tax the budgets)

Yikes, this is long – sorry about that!
