Now Friday it did look like it was going to storm like there was no tomorrow..but it held off long enough for the emcee to move is to the Sounds Stage..indoors for the contest -- it wa pouring by the time we were done... As for overlapping-- yeah that concerned me too at first -- but you know what..I feel it worked better because then the trivia started with 50 people instead of 300 or more....much more manageable and chance for more interaction..over two days I still got to do all I really wanted..there was no one there that weekend that I really wanted an autograph from..so I was spared those lines...my 9 year old daughter got to attend 'jedi Academy' that was very cool for her......I really dont feel like I missed much even with the closed end registrations...was handled very competently ( and if you had ever attended the old Disneyana conventions - especially the last few) - you know that is not always the case with events.

If you want to chat about Orlando send me a quick Email, eh?
