09/18 trip report / some pictures

[~*~Aniko~*~]

i love off season!!

me and ben made it to the park last night at around 6. we went over to blue bayou (or "blayou" as ben calls it), but they were unfortunately booked full. so we headed over to cafe orleans. wow!! the food was amazing. i had gumbo and the chicken gumbo crepes. both were delicious. ben had the garlic fries (which were gone in about 5 minutes) and the ceaser salad. he said the were both delicious. i can say that the garlic fries are GREAT! i snuck a few

then it was onto pirates. we walked on. it was awesome

indy was down, so we headed over to roger rabbit. we always seem to want to go on it when there is a 70 minute wait. this time, a 5 minute wait. which the wait was walking through the maze of a line (which i love) and walking right onto our own car

ben had a little too much fun in toontown. it's funny watching a 6' 5" guy walking around toontown when everything is built for people a little shorter

we made it onto space mountain. a 10 minute wait

then it was onto after hours pictures. ben found a bench and i went crazy

here are the best from the night :

i thought these were SOOOOO cute!!

we went to world of disney and bought the pirates of the caribbean print of jack sparrow ... this one :

yay!! for off season!!

Wow, we were eating at Cafe Orleans at the same time! Love your photos, and last night was great - we did all the fantasyland rides as well as a few others without much wait at all!

Off season is, to simplify things a lot, when kids are back in school. There are still parades, although the Parade of Dreams last night was only once, at 7pm, and with a reduced staff, and the Block Party Bash had 40 less people in it. No fireworks, and no Fantasmic, during the week.

Way! My wife and kid were in the park and I joined them after the flag retreat and we walked around and ended up at Cafe Orleans for dinner. Maybe I saw you two and didn't recognize you (or maybe you didn't recognize me), but I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point!

Great Roger Rabbit pics. I'm always walking around the park thinking about how to get that "perfect" picture. My girlfriend usually stands there rolling her eyes but I'm teaching her patience....and she loves the photo's when we get home.
Love the night shots.

Re: 09/18 trip report / some pictures

:verymad: I am so jealous of all of you who go to the park for dinner, a nice walk, and to get a few photos in between the rides you walk on! Excuse me, I have to go and try to wash this green tone that has suddenly appeared all over my body...

PS - seriously, awesome photos again Aniko...my favorite is the castle/Matterhorn shot, AMAZING

We originally planned on the 13th, but might trade with someone else that has tickets on the 27th... so we'll see. Both nights are currently sold out.

I think that's a cadaverous pallour -- it betrays an aura of foreboding, I hear!
