The Berm of the Ocean - My DCL West Coast Experience (June 4th - 11th)

Disneyphile · 06-15-2005, 03:37 PM

After passing the Carnival Pride in port at Mazatlan, we passed a large group of local citizens who came out just to see the Magic. Young and old came out to witness us leaving port, and even took pictures. Children waved and jumped, while others just looked on in awe. To me, this was a sobering moment of a real perspective - how lucky we were to be experiencing the dreams that so many will never see happen. It brought me to tears, because all I could think about is how I wish they could all have been on the ship also. And here they were, to wish *us* a Bon Voyage. I actually have this photo in a very hi-res format, and can even see some of the facial expressions on the people. Some were smiling, and some just had that look of inspiration and hope of dreams.

Oh, there are. I have pictures of a few of 'em which I'll be posting later. I'm still sorting through pics and trying to categorize 'em. Hard to do with SO many of 'em. If I didn't have a digital camera, I'd need a second job to pay for all the developing!

Sunday night was Formal Night, and everyone was decked out in their finest, including the characters. Many photo ops were available with several different backdrops, for both professional portraits and self-photos.

Here we are just outside the Walt Disney Theater before the "Golden Mickeys" show.

And here's another shot, taken in the main atrium on Deck 3. The entrance to Lumiere's is directly behind us.

I made my dress using a classic renaissance pattern, but with a bit more "modern" flair.
