Have a great time ZZ! Just so you can think of me joining you next time, here's a picture from the last time I was there (not as fun as your pictures)...oh, yeah, and some identities have been disguised to protect the innocent. :biggrin:

:smile: You've got plenty of pictures of me without sunglasses around here. If I didn't wear sunglasses when outside, my eyes would have been closed in the picture. I'm really sensitive to bright sunlight. That, or it could be that I'm hiding this expression...:rolleyes:...from my mom insisting on taking the picture. :smile:

OK.. one more before I go to bed...

This was the only baby in our group during our 2003 trip. The scene is during Chef Mickey breakfast with the characters at the Contemporary Resort. Kayleigh's mother was telling Pluto to "Eat my baby", so that she could take a picture. So Pluto did! I had the better angle than her mother so I also snapped a picture.

So Moonbie, what do you think? Should we make a reservation at Chef Mickey for breakfast and have Pluto eat Evo?

I'm like a mole, I'm sensitive to light.

It took two hours, but I found a picture of me in sunglasses! It's not at DisneyWorld, so out of respect to Zz I won't post it here, I'll stick it in the "thread killer champions" thread.

Have fun Zz, let us know what you're up to and post lots of pictures!

What? :bugeye: I thought you were going to say we could all eat breakfast together. :frown:

I'm leaving now. I can take a hint. :cry:

Hey, there's nothing that says you can't also be eating while Pluto is devouring you! :)

Besides, Pluto only licks, he doesn't swallow! :)

Good night. My next transmission will be from the Happiest Place on Earth.

Not sure I can say the same thing. :bugeye: :blushing:

Good night, good flight! *dances around waiting for new pictures* I'm so jealous! :cry:

That's a honkin' huge tongue there. I think that there's room enough for both of you.

I've been wondering all day about what fun things Zz is doing. We really should have hooked him up with one of those live action cams. :-p

It'd be easy, just hook it up to his collar

Needless to say, it was a wonderful first day.

There are definitely new things to be seen. The Flower and Garden show at Epcot, which used to be just "nice", is now even more SPECTACULAR this year. They have just cranked it up. Even jaded long-time visitors are impressed by the show this year.

The day ended with my most favoriete night time light-fireworks display - Illuminations at Epcot. Also, to celebrate the Golden anniversary of Disneyland that is being observed at all Disney parks all over the world, they're issuing gold Mickey Ears hat this year! Of course I bought one and used it for another "unique" shot of spaceship Earth at Epcot.

Today will mainly be at the Animal Kingdom (avoid Magic Kingdom on weekends if you want to preserve your sanity). And then, more shopping!

Hope these pictures will satisfy for now...

I want a gold Mickey ears hat! I can usually resist the lure of the souvenier shops, but gold Mickey ears are a must have! :biggrin:

You know... if you can condition your brain to process RF, you can rent yourself out as a microwave repeater.

Y'know, we all should have asked Integral to get us the gold Mickey ears hat from Disneyland too. The ones I bought here has Disney World on them. It would be a blast to get one from each park here in the US. Of course, since we have people from all over the world here, we should get one from Paris and Tokyo also...

Hum... this is never going to end, is it? :)

Today was spent at The Animal Kingdom. Strangely enough, it was busy, but wasn't as packed as I thought it would be for a Sunday of a 3-day holiday. We did the Safari ride, Primeval Whirl (of course), and the dinasaur ride. Wanted to fast pass It's Tough To Be A Bug, but the fast pass booths were not working, and I didn't feel like standing in line for 20 minutes to see it since I've seen it a gazillion times already. Took many pictures with the characters, including Donald who was standing around all my his lonesome self till we showed up.

The pictures here are: 1. The loading zone at the Dinasaur ride. 2. A couple of characters we found chilling out, and 3. the skeleton of the Expedition Everest being built. This will open in 2006 and promises to be a heck of a ride.

Oh no. I can't do that here. Or else all those quacks would be able to hire a hitman to gun me down!

Any special dinners planned? They have some nice restaurants, don't they?

I want a picture of you in the golden mouse ears. :-p

... and wearing it in my birthday suit too, no less! :)

No dinner planned tonight. Just a simple meal out by downtown disney. In fact, the rest of the week is rather open. Other than breakfast at Chef Mickey on Wed., La Nouba on Thursday evening (followed by partying at Pleasure Island), and a private party at Disney/MGM Studios late, late Sat evening, we have a rather open schedule. We'll do whatever we want to do whenever we decide. Everyone in the group has been here before so there's no rush into doing anything.

Tomorrow, we plan on heading out to the Magic Kingdom.

Now both of you DO know that viewing of such pictures will make you go blind. :)

Off to The Magic Kingdom. Can't wait to ride the refurbished It's A Small World!

Women don't have that problem. Apparently only the men on Viagra.

Are you sure It's A Small World is the ride you really wanted to mention in context of the above comments? :smile: They refurbished it? Tell me how it is! That's always one of my favorites! It's been the same since I was this big. *holds hand about 2 1/2 ft from the floor*

well you're have a fun time Zz. last time I went to disneyland, we had a fast-passes for the indiana jones ride. we were five minutes early so the guy who was taking the fast-passes wouldn't let us in. so we waited. we were still waiting when bob (the fast-pass guy) said we had to move because more people were getting in line, so we moved where he told us to.

Then someone asked how tall you have to be to go on this ride, bob simply said about me and my dad "if these people weren't in the way, I could tell you." my dad got mad and talked to him. he said, "so what, are you going to get me fired?" So my dad talked to a friend of the owner of disneyland...I don't thik bob will be collecting any tickets again

Then consider yourselves luckly... On the other hand, we don't have to go through labor pains, so I guess that even things out. :)

Yes, It's A Small World went throught several months of shut-down and refurbishment, and I can tell you that it's FABULOUS! The sound system was upgraded, and the colors are more vivid than ever before!

Just got back from The Magic Kingdom. Went on Splash Mountain twice, and Thunder Mountain Railroad also twice. Saw Stich Great Escape (it's OK, but nothing to write home about). Saw the afternoon parade (great as always). Will post pictures when I download them to the laptop later...

Going to freshen up (as in take a shower and change of clothes) before going out to Epcot to watch Illuminations AGAIN! Might try having dinner at the Marrekesh restaurant at the Morrocan pavilion, but that would be a very low probability that they aren't packed with reservations already.
