Very nice shots! Sad, I know, but I must confess that I have never noticed the bats in Indy. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great time the rest of your trip.

The bats in indy are in the cave part in the cue. They are up on the left side in the hole with dim purple lighting. You can see their little glowing eyes in there.

The submarine and momorail pictures are quite colorful as well. What do you think of the sub ride? Is the volcano experience riveting? Again, I very much enjoyed your fun report. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more pix as your week progresses.

Thank you (and everyone else) for the pic/report compliments. I went on Nemo for the first time today and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. I liked how a lot of the human dialog was somewhat related (and sometimes identical) to the original attraction, but it sure wasn't the original subs. Still, I have to find time to do it (at least) once more so I can get a true feel about it.

Nice pics. I love the one with all those paradise pier rides in motion. Good job.

Purdy pictures and funny captions!

Thanks for sharing!

Very Nice Kissman!

Great pictures, like an old pro!

Too bad you don't live closer, we'd get spoiled by your trip reports. I wish I knew you were there today, I coulda said "hi there!".

Today was my second full day at the park. It felt more crowded today than yesterday which sorta surprised me for a Sunday.

I decided today would be the day I'd finally get to go on Nemo and I went right in and lined up. The line took about 100 minutes (ouch!) and I have to say that I wasn't entirely thrilled with it. It was so-so. Still, I'm glad the subs are back in some form.

So what is with the leak in the ceiling in Pirates? Right after you pass the Blue Bayou, there is a leak that trickles down and gets the center of the boat as you pass through. Is that an 'effect' or a problem? I don't recall this happening the last time I was here.

Bats Day seemed to be a big success. I'm a bit gothy at heart, but I don't dress the part so I admired from afar today. They came in all shapes, sizes and hair colors.

Good stuff.

OK, here are my pics of the day...

My favorite picture of the day. Screamin' at dusk.

Not a particularly exciting area of the park, but still kinda attractive.

Choo-choo!

Yummy.

Eek! Just look at that Nemo line.

A funny detail that I overlooked until today.

I hope housekeeping doesn't expect a tip.

Rats.

Bats.

Thanks for taking the time to read my report. I appreciate all of the nice comments as well! Now, sleep I must get...

I love Big Thunder. Usually ride it more than once during a trip. The shot of Screamin' was gorgeous. it really is one of the most beautiful coasters in the world - in the day, and especally all lit up at night.

Looks like you stopped and had lunch with a friend.

Who's the rat in the middle? Don't remember him from the movie.

The Nemo line does look rather scary. Too bad it didn't deliver the punch that you had hoped for. I look forward to giving 'er a go, myself.

That shot doesn't even do the crowd justice -- and it was still 15 minutes before their photo time! They had their own special area right next to the HM cue with roped lines and several Disney security members keeping an eye on them as well. Looked rather fun.

Wow, they get their own ropes and security and everything!!!! It's their own Special Events, hahaha

I was there on the 19th for Bats Day! And your picture, though it barely shows just how many were there, shows why I went on Haunted Mansion when I first got there! I was in the big group pic infront of the castle and that was enough for me! Phooey on waiting 3 hours to take a pic infront of the mansion... I can do that anytime I want (especially after everyone is back to school/work). Gotta love AP and living 20 minutes away from the park!

Jacky B · 08-21-2007, 02:10 PM

Great trip report and pictures. I love the park around dusk and at night!
