Magic Kingdom Day

We will be heading into the Magic Kingdom today even though Splash Mountain, my traditional favorite ride, is closed for renovations. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is still open so that’s cool.

We are thinking of heading over a little later in the morning but plans are still fluid. My bag is packed with both cameras and I’m good to head out whenever, though the temps are in the 40’s.

I’ll check in later.

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is traditionally our toughest day on a Disney trip. Today is the day.

I’m hoping we get to do the safari, and that this is the year I get to try the Avatar ride, whatever it’s called.

I’m hoping they still have a camera supply store because the strap that came with my new camera started coming undone last night. I’m sure I could fix it, but maybe I can just get something better. Also, there is a fresh roll of ColorPlus in the film camera. I put the Nikon lens back on because it zooms a little and that might come in handy if we do the safari.

No Kali river rapids today. It’s too cold.

Rourke Bridge

I spent about half an hour tweaking this in GIMP today. When I thought I had brought out the cars on the bridge and some details in the posts the bridge sits on I compared the original to the edit. They were almost precisely the same. Oh well. This is the original.

The First Park Day

My stomach gave me a rough time for most of the day yesterday. It’s okay after a decent nights sleep. Hopefully I’ll have more opportunities to eat real food rather than just protein supplements

We are going to Epcot today for our first park visit. Yesterday was more like a travel recovery day. I have half a roll of Kodak ColorPlus in the film camera. I’ll probably bring a second roll too.

I went to the gym at about 6:00 this morning (almost an hour ago) and walked on a treadmill for half an hour. Overkill, surely, but I feel good about it.

Okay, time to start that day!
