So This Guy Was at Star Wars Weekends...

I lucked-out, and was able to grab a Fastpass for this show, an hour before it began.  I was in some secondary standby line at the time; not knowing if I'd even get in here.  But I kept checking the Fastpass+ system, and saw that something opened up.  I even got a good seat.... 4th row in the right-side section.  Such a cool experience!!!!

Happy Birthday Peter Mayhew!!!

A Millennium Falcon cake was brought out, and everyone sang Happy Birthday to Peter Mayhew; whose b-day was the next day.  Great times!!!

Because Fashion

Gotta "love" the "style" that tends to trend places.  No better place to witness it than in the parks.

The Watcher IV

I love taking Human Element shots of lifeguards.  Part of the reason is because you can really emphasize the direction of their gaze.  That does a lot to help the storytelling aspect of a pic.

Those eyes, man... Look At Those Eyes!!!!

My daughter, who cannot NOT dance when passing live music, found a cute little dance partner here.

On select days, stop and admire this duo if you get the chance.

If you want to have a good time and get into the Christmas spirit, make sure to check out this Gospel Celebration at EPCOT.  It's hard to pass by this and NOT wanna move a little bit, or sing some of the familiar songs.

Admiration II

One of the best things about Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is that you get the chance to see some amazing costumes.  To me, the coolest sight this night was a group of people who went as Mario Kart characters; and each one had a cardboard car around them.  I guess I should also mention the couple that went as Brazilian tourists.  They had green and yellow tie-dye shirts; and even had the trusty flag.  Pretty tounge-in-cheek; yet very clever.

But this group of Ghostbusters was probably the most dedicated.  They even decked out their cars to look very much like the Ecto-1.  We parked around the same time as them; and you could see that all eyes were in their direction.

This shot here shows a chance meeting of them being approached by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.  I initially thought they were together.... because... why not?!?!  And the Ghostbusters were just there waiting.  But no, they weren't.  I'm glad that he and I captured this moment though.  ;)
