netflix, i swear this is how i found it! did my movie "year one" come in? no but we did get "the duchess of duke street: series 1, disc 2". well thank goodness i was wondering when we'd get this acclaimed BBC miniseries! guess it was bound to happen eventually. damn...

Post Disney better pics

In absolutely no particular order. This is because uploading puts these pics everywhere and they are hard to drag into place. So here you go:

The train station


A Mickey pumpkin


The headless horseman. Oh yea, crazy creepy. Luckily I was able to catch somebody elses flash. I've got a few more but this is about the best one.


One of the grave diggers dispersing after the parade. He was creepy walking by himself with a the lantern and a long "dead" stare.


I'm seriously getting better at this. This time I used a "knee-pod" to hold the camera. I was able to hold it to a 1/5th of a second which is fairly significant to do with no tripod.


The entrance to Expedition Everest


Me holding the special red tag to help track the time for the wait on the ride. We always get a picture with these thanks to boB doing the same thing. This was Expedition Everest.


Oh, my thing this time was to take the funniest picture I could during the ride. Since the fingers in the air rock on look wasn't working I went for terrified. I think I pulled it off pretty good.


Remy in Chef's De France. I don't know what the deal was but he was responding to everything she said. My only guess is he's on a timer that triggers with light. None the less it was cool.



The Jammin Chef's. Formally the Jammitors.


Another scared look on the Tower of Terror.


Stupid Muppet itching powder!


See ya real soon. Like, Christmas because we already have reservations!

2 whipped pups

we've had a big day as usual. we hit animal kingdom early and rode expedition everest 3 times and kilimanjaro safari. then we headed to the studios to catch up with my supervisor from work and his family. we ran into mulch sweat and shears and they really played up to the video camera (i'll post it when we get home). then we walked right into the super at lunch. so we chatted a bit and me and mandy got something to eat. we caught back up with them and rode the tower or terror and rockin roller coaster together. it was pretty good. they were going back to swim and we walked around a bit more. i did find out i'm most like buzz lightyear according to disney anyway. so back to the hotel to get our bags and change before we get on the bus to head to the airport.

day 3 - magic kingdom

whew what a long day yesterday was. we hit MK early and were there until 2 or so. then we started hunting for a shirt for mandy we've seen. we have looked everywhere since sunday. this time we did the monorail hotel loop and checked every hotel on it. still no shirt. eventually we left and came back and took a break. then back to the kingdom we go after freshening up a bit. we tried to meet up with my boss that is here but we never could. we stayed for the "not so scary halloween" party and got to see the headless horseman ride through. everybody was dressed up. some should have been that weren't and other shouldn't have been that weren't. none the less we had a good time and are pretty tired this morning.

day 3 magic kingdom

after an exhausting day 2 we are up and at the bus stop a little after 8. we were doing good getting on the bus then a wheel chair showed up. i'm not discounting the elderly or handicap but it takes some extra time to load them for sure. none the less we are loaded up and ready to head toward the park now with a fully loaded standing rooom only bus.
