The "Not Ready for Prime Time" Trip Report Thread

[Mac Daddy]

Hello everyone! I visited the DLR this morning armed with my trusty Nikon D-50, which I ....almost know how to use, and spent a couple hours perusing the parks looking for some shots. Keeping in mind that I'm not Sadako....or Aniko...or Master Gracey....or Froggy.....or the esteemed Darkbeer, I thought I would try out my shots with all of you here in the "other" lounge. You know...with people who won't shout "YOU SUCK! WE JUST SAW ALL OF THESE SHOTS TWO MINUTES AGO IN SADAKO'S THREAD!! BOOOOOOO! GET OFF THE STAGE!!"

Because here in the F and G lounge, everyone is so supportive, and encouraging, and.....

:botox:

So anyway, on with the trip report:

I started the day in DCA....









...before heading over to Disneyland. I'm really digging the Halloween decorations, and I hope they bring them back next year. :bow:







Mickey has switched to his purple outfit and had a nifty bat cape...



...and the Dapper Dans were wishing someone a happy birthday...



The new Jedi Academy, as you may have heard, is already up and running...



The Jedi Masters arrived to tumultous applause...


The REAL question would have been who DOESN'T want to be a Jedi...


Training began, but I still had to hit the Haunted Mansion before work...


More pumpkins on the way to Frontierland...





One last glimpse of TSI before it disappears forever...



More to follow....

*blank stare....thinking.....*



YES!!!!!

Did I PM you that my daughter's birthday was this weekend? Wait. I have to run and check and see if I sent something back to you...

edit...

Ok...I'm back. WHY do I know that you're going this weekend? Did you post it somewhere? I have a very fuzzy memory of this.

So I have a fuzzy memory period. :bash:

In any case, I do hope you'll have a great time! And yes...take lots of pictures and post them here!

And the December thing is....Friday the 8th....right?

(Don't throw anything if I'm wrong...)

:lmao: Oh my dear dear LDF.... Me thinks you just have way to much going on to keep everything straight!! Uh..no it wasn't me you PM's about your daughters birthday...

I will be staying with Princess Buttercup, Karla, SCUBAbe, and NeverNeverland in the Disneyland hotel Saturday night.

Saturday night I will try to represent the RCMC at the Cove Bar, where the DMCA has invited MiceChatters to meet them. I shall bring a virtual olive branch, to show our intention of friendship!

I'm very jealous! It sounds like you folks will have a blast. While you're there keep an eye out for someone singing loudly without his trousers on.

RW and I will be there the 8th to the 11th... well I leave the 11th. Our "Random Meet" will be Saturday the 9th. Which means you WILL at least have breakfast with us one of those days.

Will do.. and if I see anyone like that, I will be sure to lasso them!

Re: The "Not Ready for Prime Time" Trip Report Thread

A note to Penguinsoda: Be sure to keep your camera handy at all times. Don't be tempted to have so much fun, that you suddenly forget to take photos. In the words of our beloved Karla, "take lots of pictures".

I am certain you will have a great time. You represent the RCMC well.
We will all be thinking about you, and wishing we were there.

Re: The "Not Ready for Prime Time" Trip Report Thread

Thanks Barbara!! I have cargo pants so I will be carrying everything I need handy and easy to get to in my pockets! Its going to be a very busy, crowded day at the park, so I'm thinking we will be spending a lot of time just hanging out enjoying the scenes and people!!

[penguinsoda]

Re: The "Not Ready for Prime Time" Trip Report Thread

Oh...my... gosh.... I have just returned from two days at Disneyland hanging out with some of the most insane, crazy, fun people in the world!!!! Unfortunatly, for some reason I actually didn't take that many picture!!!! Oh my gosh!!! But... as a sneek preview... I may post one here.. just to shock the daylights out of everyone!! :lol:

[Barbaraann]

Re: The "Not Ready for Prime Time" Trip Report Thread

Your a lady of your word.

Here you are just back from Disneyland, and where do you head to first? MiceChat.

By the way, I have already seen 2 photos of you. One in Fishbulb's report, and the other was in O'Nuts.

I am sure you are tired. Looking forward to all you are willing to share.

Re: The "Not Ready for Prime Time" Trip Report Thread

Glad to see you are back, and that Walt's dream is still intact after your visit with those other Micechattters, Penguin.

And a belated "great trip report" to LDF from another guy who isn't Sadako or Darkbeer but just likes to do his own thing.

I might just see if I saved any of my really bad shots. Lord knows I've taken enough of em!
