What Day is Today?

Today is Wednesday, which makes this day four of the trip? I think so. I am on vacation so I refuse to do math.

Yesterday was Magic Kingdom but the weather went down the crapper in the afternoon and we spent a lot of the time at the hotel watching lightning. One blast hit so close that we think it might have hit something in the hotel complex. That was freaky.

Today is Hollywood Studios. We’ll spend the morning there then go back to the hotel to rest up for an extended after hours event that we bought tickets for. We may be riding Star Wars rides until after midnight. Fortunately I had my first good nights sleep in weeks last night, so fingers crossed I’m up for it.

I hope to be posting pictures of First Order stormtroopers soon.

More Fun with Film

Did I take advantage of the perfect Spring weather to go out and take a shit load of photos today? No. No I did not. I suck. To make up for it, here’s another bunch of pics taken with my father’s Pentax K1000.

Will I Bring it Next Time?

If you had asked me two days ago whether or not I was planning on bringing a film camera on our next Florida vacation in June I think I would have said no.

Then yesterday I got a bunch of film developed and now I think the answer will probably be yes. I am so easily manipulated.

Seven Rolls

Seven rolls of film. All downloaded, sorted, cleaned up, and uploaded to Flickr. Here are a few randoms from the haul.

From Burlington, VT. I don’t remember the name of the bookstore.

After Hours

We did an after hours event at Magic Kingdom last night. The crowd seemed bigger than our previous after hours things, but it was still pretty small. It’s almost, though not quite, like having the amusement park to ourselves.

We rode Space Ranger Spin twice. The second time I did pretty well.

Digital

The rule is that I start the day on film, shoot one roll, then switch to digital. The one roll is done, so now Dad’s camera makes way for my camera.

Am I an insufferable nerd? Why yes, yes I am.

Also, as usual, I won at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. As usual.

Nine Days

Vacation starts in nine days. Florida trip starts in 10 days. Getting close enough to fog my brain with vacationitis.

Not many people know this, but the Tomorrowland People Mover is THE BEST ride in all of Disney World. By far. Nothing even comes close (other than Rise of the Resistance and Smuggler’s Run). The People Mover RULES.
