Through The Nikon Glass

Just wanted to post a few quick shots of my trip this morning. I'm also trying to make a move from Photobucket to Flickr, so we'll see how this goes.

First of all, the new Halloweentime banners are up all around DTD:

There were healthy lines at the security check just after 9 AM:

The Mickey pumpkin and his friends were back above the gates:

The California letters were not yet decked out in Candy Corn colors. Maybe that's coming next week:

The Mickey Floral has now incorporated some orange...

This is the line that greeted me when I arrived at Ghost Galaxy just after 9:30 PM:

Not sure what these guys were up to:

The interior didn't seem to be changed that much, if at all...

One main difference is that the screen is now cutting in and out due to ghostly inter"fear"ance:

The wait time had actually gone DOWN by the time I left...

One side of the Tomorrowland entrance was BLOCKED OFF! :pinch: Expect some MASSIVE gridlock there this weekend and people are pressing in from all directions to get to Ghost Galaxy:

I included a larger photo of the band director as these Halloween Time uniforms are incredible. I can't remember if the band had them last year, but check out the detail!

Very impressive! :clap:


Nemo and his dad are enjoying the orange plumes in the hats...

Goofy is light on his feet:

Pinocchio is thinking that it is WAY to hot to be dancing in the 95 plus degree heat:

He was kind enough to pose for this shot, but my auto focus was taking too long. He almost fell over. :lol:

Finally, the new time share area is finished in the Grand Californian. Just a couple of shots since you can now walk over there for the first time in over a year...

And I love this vintage auto parked out in front of the new addition:

Very cool.


That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by my blog! :)
