What's your problem with bacon?
Yeah - if it was up to me, I'd have bacon on everything!

Thanks for the updates Gerard. I saw some details of the studio presentation (Scarlett Johannson...wow) sounds like it was a good session.

In other D23 Expo news, Disney have unveiled the new Partner's statue for the DCA Town Square - see the Disney Parks blog here:

Looks good.

Mmm, could be me.
It's 6.37am on Sunday. I didn't get back until 10.30pm last night. I didn't make the end of the Auction as I could not keep my eyes open, I left after lot 24 and there was another 17 to go. The artist David Garibaldi started the pre show by creating three pieces( this is amazing to watch). The auction it's self was fun to watch and I will utube the battle for the jungle cruise Zebra to demonstrate. A guy next to me was posting results at a site called stitch kingdom, so go there to find out how it ended.
I feel I have seen it all the expo has to offer me, so I plan to head to the parks today.

It was fun, but a lot busier this time, I spent a great deal of time in lines.
I'm glad I did not go today, had a great day in the parks, it was the last day before school goes back, so it was packed. I did manage to get a lot of attractions in , finishing with a close view of World of Color. I did the p
Lunch viewing package.
I have Fantasmic viewing package to tomorrow and the crowds are expected to half.

Excellent - looking forward to that video. I need to see WoC again from a better position, my spot was good (against a railing) but it was towards the back a bit as my Dad had to sit in the disabled area.
I did the p
Not sure if we needed this level of detail... :shock: Unless "the p" is short for "The Plank" in which case, we salute you fine Sir! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Lunch viewing package.
Oh - I guess this is the p you were talking about. This is what we did and liked it a lot - what choice of food did you order?
I have Fantasmic viewing package to tomorrow
Awesome - make sure you line up right on 7:30 so you can book the best seat when they start allocating at 8pm.

Have fun!

Objective complete.
It's my last day here tomorrow :cry:
I fly to WDW thursday :D (your Friday)
My feet are already killing me, I did buy a couple of pairs of those canvas shoes they sell at Down Town Disney, they are great, no more blisters, just tired feet and legs.
I'll just have to power through the pain.
