Guess I'm second to report...

The only reason I am home now is because I am being the responsible student and went to class (hahaa. I went because it was cold and windy and I wasn't sure if there would be fireworks... but since I left the answer is yes).

Got lucky enough to score a place to sleep across the street (not score across the street). Got there at 8, were the last 3 to be let into the esplinade before they shut it down.

Waited in line, saw the line stretch back to the gates of DCA, and bend around from the main gate to the kennels. I have photos, will be posted later.

They opened the gates and actually got in the park faster than I do some afternoons. Everything was running really efficiently.

Made it to Town Square where we scored a bench and saw CP. Split off from CP and Bornieo and went to get coffee and the 6-CD set. AMAZING!

The crowds were insane. Heard the announcement from the old AP processing center, enjoyed some eye candy and headed to the bengle BBQ. The line for the Riverbell Terrace (to order food!) was an hour long. . The lines for the attractions themselves wern't too bad, between 15-60 minutes depending. Jungle Cruise went to the 2nd floor queue. I really like the new/old way of the PotC queue, really clears up the area.

For some reason Zocolo was closed (on Cinco de Mayo... go figure). Ran into iSm on our food hunt. Saw the new movie, Awesome!

Will have to post more later. I'm sure I'll read this tomorrow and go WTF was I thinking.

Goodnight!
