There were also a bunch of very nice folks from micechat.com whom I hadn't met before. Some of us ate a Cafe Orleans, which was very nice, and there was lots of good music in the park today. POTC was open for a while this morning then closed again in the afternoon. I guess this is what they call a "soft opening." I talked to several people who had ridden it and enjoyed it, but I deliberately didn't ask for details. (I'm hoping to ride it Tuesday or Wednesday.)

And then just a few tables over was a group of MousePlanet staff. Sorry about the Pirates closure, but it was a nice treat to see the new Disney Gallery stuff (Pirates related), which opened this afternoon.
