Homo Mouse Event!

Ok, who knew? timfogartyfeed is a Disney top. Once we were in the park we suddenly found out he had been here 12 times before, had favorite rides, and knew where everything was, how it worked, and when to go to wait the least. It was really quite impressive.

We went for Gay Days, and I went because, well, I remember the parks really rather fondly from when I was 7, and work was starting to raise eyebrows whenever I mentioned I hadn't gone recently yet. "Don't you think it is about time?"

I got some vintage attractions checked out -- I died and went to Hell in one of them, I kid you not -- saw some of the refurbished ones, went also to some more modern ones, saw random presentations. I actually achieved a lot of my goals for the day and had a nice time thanks to some very good guidance about where to be when. Being around all the red shirts was very festive, and I really liked that it was not stratified at all, I saw GLBTQ people and supporters of all shapes and sizes and ages wandering happily, all kinds of families and configurations, participating together. That is actually pretty darn rare in our communities for a non-Pride thing.

But now that I have a good foundation down of the park thing,  I think the plan for next year  is that pinkfish and I will go even later than 2, check out one new attraction I may have to for work, have dinner off-park, get a good spot to watch Fantasmic as we eat dessert, and then leisurly stroll to whatever hotel hot-tub e_ticket is in. Because last night, just meeting him, but then also decompressing, with our feet in the warm bubbling water after a day of walking, with his insights about the park experience, was pretty damn awesome.

Sitting in the Tiki Room, I remembered loving it when I was very young. I do not know if I was in 'Land or 'World. But I loved the colored fountain and the lights. As an adult, it didn't work that well for me.
