No, I still haven't gotten started on it yet. Sorry, sorry.

But for those who just can't get enough of hearing about people's trips,
please feel free to take a look at the two "quick highlights" posts I
made on my blog. One was written on Day 4, the other written the day
after I got back. These aren't in true Trip Report form, so I didn't
post them here. They're just off-the-top-of-my-head remarks:

"the insanity that is the new Fantasmic! schedule (twice a week only)
needs to end. We went to the second show of the night, and an hour
before showtime, the line for the show was about 10 people wide and
extended from the entrance to the stadium allllllll the way down Sunset
Blvd. It was beyond absurd."


Yikes, I would say so! I just checked the WDW website, and they
upped it to three nights this week (two shows per night), but
that's still not nearly enough performances during prime vacation
season. I suppose they look at it as something that costs them a
lot of money to put on and doesn't really bring in much money
(except for some dining packages and maybe a few more people
through the gate at DHS). Pity.

Yes, but you have to wonder what the cost is in Guest annoyance and
aggravation. It's not something that can be measured in dollars, but it
certainly exists.
