the times of kryptoniteglows

The weather finally turned around and it was a nice day for once. Though I didn’t do much in the way of rides. If I recall correctly I watched the Jedi Training, then Tiana’s showboat julblee thing, and then the High School Musical thing. The latter wasn’t really worth watching but it was part of my “do everything” checklist.

I of course went on Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, and rode to the pirates lair. That would have been an awesome place to have watched Fantasmic. I think I read that “tip” but forgot

I also waited for what seemed like forever to meet Tinkerbell in pixie hollow and Mulan in the Princess Fairie. There were 3 chracters in each of the areas, but I forgot their name or didn’t know who they were. There were PhotoPass photographers with each of the chracters so that made things easier and quicker, well at least when it was my turn. The little kids would have long chats with the chracters and their parents would take many photos of their own.

Somewhat understandable, some of the PhotoPass photographers aren’t very good. Particularly the first pictures I had taken where it was cloudly outdoors so they used a bit of flash. I look like a very pale caucasion in them! Ick! Though the others came out better and some photos haven’t shown up online. I hope they are just being slow and not missing… I usually just did the photopass camera because I was going to get the CD. It’s only about $60 which isn’t to bad. The cd at Disney world is about double though. They let you add some borders online or the chracter’s autograpgh, which adds a special little touch to the pictures. It would be nice if they let you add ride photos to the photopass, but that would just be to good

Just checked a bag for $20 at the airport and the stupid bag prevented me from getting on an earlier flight! I should of just carried it on

However after the flight, I’ll at least be premier with united and get waived baggage fees for the next year. Not sure where I’ll go to actually utilize this “benefit” though. Maybe Disney world?

Finally seeing some of the Californian sun but it did keep going back into hiding along with bringing some light showers. Nothing compared to yesterday of course.

Saw Aladin yesterday, the genie was much more flamoboyant than I remember. Show seemed to be “up to date”, they were making jokes about the Tiger Woods incident…

Today I caught the pixar parade, the Christmas parade, fantasmic, and the believe fireworks. Fireworks were good, wished they weren’t so late. I had poor seating/viewing for fantasmic so it didn’t seem that good to me.

Tomorrow is the last day, just got to catch the high school musical parade, tiana’s julblee, and the princesses to complete my checklist of going to all the rides/attractions. And the monorail too.

And the bad thing about not getting a rental car is that I’m waiting an hour for the bus this Sunday evening because I was like 1 minute late… Doh! However, if I drove and parked, I would be waiting similar times for a tram and then getting out of the parking garage. I might of been a little more on time if I had a bus schedule but alas I haven’t been able to find one. I should of printed one at home or heck, just review the one I saved on my laptop. I recall seeing the bus only coming every 60 minutes during certain hours/days on it.

Since I’ve been out for nearly 16 hours… I really need a shower

Well the plan yesterday was to go early and get on those rides that normally have long wait, go back to the hotel, and then come back in the evening for the fireworks.

However once you get to Disney, it is hard to leave. I stayed until after 9 only to find out the fireworks were canceled. It rained all day so my jeans were soaked by the time I got back to the hotel. They still weren’t dry this morning.

It’s been raining all day, there was a little break so I rode the screaming ride twice. I also went on the toy story ride twice, but it was 20 minutes each time.

Found the turkey legs today, just 8 bucks. I think the thing is 1100 calories. It’s pretty tasty, doubt I’ll finish it and my hotelroom doesn’t have a fridge .
