Nancy was the smart one getting to the park early which she did every morning in spite of being sick. By getting to the park late we only got the tail end of seeing this guy..... Kobe Bryant from the NBA champion L.A. Lakers and series MVP We got the very best table at the River Belle Terrace to see Fantasmic but to do so we had to begin our stakeout around 2:00pm (for the 9:00pm show). Sound silly? By 3:00pm, we probably could have sold the table to the highest bidder. Instead we camped out with Lisa and I taking turns holding the table while the other made other ventures out into the park. On one of my ventures I made may way around and took lots of pictures (and videos). Lots of people still everywhere This is a look at the line for Pirates from our table we held for 7 hours to see Fantasmic Flag on the back of the sailing ship Columbia. By the end of the night the American flag is replaced by a skull and crossbones pirate flag for Fantasmic Speaking of flags, I never noticed the Union Jack on Tarzan's Tree House From in front of Indiana Jones Adventure, a truck from the original movie. These wait times were nothing as wait times for some attractions reached the 2 hour mark during a couple of days during our stay. Could have been a pretty good picture of the Partners statue if it weren't for the light standards that were set up for Grad night. The new paint job on the Astro Orbitor tends to blend better with the other Tomorrowland attractions. The majestic Matterhorn....the only attraction that is not in any other Disney theme park A proud mom Has he always been there? The back of Sleeping Beauty's Castle (or is it the front?) Stairway to the Fantasyland Skyway station which has been closed for going on 20 years A common sight this spring and summer, the Big Thuder Bar-B-Q with plenty of available seating even on the busiest of days. The $28.99 priced fixed meal has not gone over very well. This tunnel is a remnant from the original Mine Train ride So is this.... What are these Disney castmembers doing? People walk around here all day long but at night, this is where one of the massive Fantasmic lighting towers is brought up from below ground.
