ABD 2010: Disers Go West - Let the Fun Begin

So the truth is I didn't like any of my Haunted Mansion shots very well, and so I retook this photo during race weekend. It feels a small bit like scrapbook cheating, but sometimes ya just gots to do what ya gots to do! :thumbsup2

I'm so glad we got to ride HM while we were all there because it was closed on this trip. When we were in France Haunted Mansion was closed and we never got to ride it. Still bummed about that one. I love comparing all of the rides and what's the same and what's different.

So here we have Haunted Mansion, with my cheater photo! SSSHHH!!!

Lauren,

It would only be cheating if you had never been there - what you did was to use "artistic license"

The page is beautiful by the way

Artistic license, that's so the word I was looking for!

Heather: You sounded so great on the Podcast this week! I love the sound of your outfit!

Here's my castle LO:

Well, here it is y'all! My Magnum Opus Scrapbook. You all have seen most of it, but there's some stuff I was too lazy to post. Plus, it looks so cool to see it all put together. Thanks so much for making our trip so extra special. I hope you all enjoy looking at this as much as I did making it!

Last night I had an improbable but true experience on Main Street in WDW.

About 7:15, I was standing on the corner outside of the Confectionery waiting for our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids to arrive for MNSSHP. Thousands of people were leaving the park. Thousands more were streaming in.

A tall man came up and stood beside me. We exchanged glances then quickly looked at one another again. Before I could say anything the man asked, "Are you from New York? "No", I replied, "but I was on the ABD trip in California."

It was Miguel! Matthew, wearing his Club 33 polo, soon joined us. We chatted for a brief time and promised to get together again during the Podcast cruise.

What are the odds that of the tens of thousands of people in the park last night Miguel and I would end up standing together on the same corner of Main Street at the same time?

All I can say is thank you John and the rest of the Podcast/ABD crew for the trip that keeps providing such head exploding experiences!!
