I Seem To Have Lost My Button

Dang it, I lost my One More Disney Day Button. With the 24 hours of Disney in my back pocket, I was going to give it to you as a souviner. Last time I remember having it was when I sat down to tie my shoe. Now stop looking at my butt and help me find it please.

One More Day Of Disney Began: 5:45am

I dream of going to Disneyland for 24 hours.

Oh wait, I did!

and it was AWSOME

but

I learned I'm not as young as I used to be

I hurt

I'm tired

Still a bit gassy from all that food

but

It was AWSOME

(this is the line that led to the crowd that led to the security that led to the crowd that led to the gates of Disneyland. but it was AWSOME)

I Dream Of Dodo Birds And Gargoyles

Watching over buried treasure left long ago on a tropical island by pirates. I dream of barking cats and purring dogs playing together on warm summer days. I dream of feathered bumble bees gliding above flowers for hours on a cool winter breeze. I dream.

Yes I'm sane. NO, I'm not drunk.

Main Street Market House: 5:26pm

One more Disney Day was halfway done now. The easy part was just finishing up, the first 12 hours. This is where it started getting cold and the threat of rain began. Some people don't realise that it actually rained that night but Disneyland had Tinkerbell up in the sky with a baseball bat smacking the rain drops over to the next county as they fell. No drops ever made it to the ground.

At this time, Disneyland started to really get crowded as people showed up after work. In fact, people kept showing up all through the early morning and around 1am to 2am they actually closed the gates due to capacity.

Disneyland 3:49 am: Would You Like A Balloon?

As February 29th progressed into March 1st, Disneyland actually got more and more crowded. Cast members were finding people asleep here and there and would gently try to wake them. One young women was asleep in a corridor of the Crystal Palace and it took a Cast Member about 5 minutes to wake her up. When the young women awoke, she didn't believe she'd been asleep. It started to become crazy as 6 am approached. The crowd was a mixture of people who had been there for Twenty Two hours already and people that had come later in the day or evening. And in some cases, were just getting there now. It was freezing for California and I found myself for the first time ever headed TOWARDS the crowd of people instead of AWAY. Warmth baby, warmth!

The Balloons by the way are lit up from the inside. Pretty cool stuff Manard

Two Hours Eleven Minutes Till Six.
BTW I made it from 6am Feb 29 to 5:30am March 1st. At 5:30 I felt I made it and didn't really want to be around the parking lot at 6 am with a bunch of sleep deprived people driving.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.

Along came my hand and knocked the spider out

Sprawled on the ground all it could do is wish

That the bottom of my shoe would miraculously miss

It didn't.

Not knowing what I was gonna shoot today, I recruited the Little Purple Monsters help. We sat there for a few minutes, I thinking, him picking his nose and an Idea came to mind. Fire. His eyes got big with excitement over the idea of shooting Fire. I told him my idea of setting him on fire and shooting him as he rolls around in a puddle of gasoline. His eyes quickly shrank and became beady as he glared at me. I gave him my "What?" look and he said he had a better idea. Wind. Cool I said, but how do we shoot wind I inquired. He turned around, bent over, broke wind at me and snickered. My eyes swollen shut from the noxious fumes, I glared at him. Well, I think I glared at him, I couldn't really see very well anymore. I reached out through the murky air, grabbed him, threw him in the dirt, burried him upto his neck and clicked the shutter button. We'll compromise I said, we're doing Earth. And I left him there.

4:17 am

At this point I was more or less just dragging my feet along. I was cold even though I had enough shirts on and a jacket to keep my arms floating straight out from my body. I thought this would be an appropriate shot to take at this point since this is exactly how I felt, dizzy, blurry, and thirsty.
