I'm hoping there wouldn't be fireworks as long as last night. People were shooting of fireworks up to midnight last night in the area based on the sound I heard.

Rain and thunder stopped long enough for the parks to shoot off fireworks and they started on time around 9:15 p.m last night. I didn't see them though in a park since since the area was wet and I'm spoiled by Disney's fireworks.

Rain can be a blessing--it puts out fireworks! A few years ago, there was a lunatic who used to set off the super loud ones at times like 2 or 3 AM. Although I can't substantiate the outcome, a neighbor did mention that someone that lived up near the fireworks area, caught the guy and had a "discussion" with him . . . (No more 2 or 3 AM fireworks after that . . .)

Awe. Happy for her but I will miss her. A lady of class and dignity.

OMG! Hers was the first (non-Disney owned/operated) site I had seen, years ago. She's helped so many with information through the years--she's a gem. I'm glad, however, that she can hand over the site to someone else, at this point in her life. Time for her to enjoy other opportunities as well.

Wow. I really had no clue the website was that old. I "found it a a few years" ago. Well my parents told me about it

The Star Wars picture reminded me but Disney has a mess right now with the whole franchisee.

Just finished watching "The Blob" from 1958 on TCM...!!!!! Haven't seen this ol' flick all the way through in ages...always reminds me of Sci-Fi Dine-In...!!!

You have discerning tastes in fine cinema. Turner CLASSIC Movies -- The Blob reached that elevated status just a soon as it was released, back in 1958, and remains at the pinnacle, of quality, educational movies that have withstood the test of time!!

Finally going to see Incredibles 2 tomorrow.

I'll be interested to see what you think of this movie. (My boss saw it recently and had some very definite comments about it.) So I'm interested on your impressions. P.S.: I've never seen either one.

Oh that makes me so sad. I was upset when Jack Spence left. His blogs were my favorite and truth be told, since he left I haven’t wandered much to Allears except to look up reviews and maybe read an old blog post. Well I wish her a happy retirement.

I found out about it in 2002 from someone else. That was the first year we went as a party of more than 2. To tide me over to our next trip, I would read the hotel and restaurant reviews.

I enjoyed it. It is not the best Pixar film though.

My family and I watched it as well! As well as The Magnificent Seven right after it! TCM is pretty much the only TV channel we watch nowadays...

MK fireworks on the 4th were delayed until around 10pm, because of lightning. It didn’t really rain that hard for very long though. The fireworks were amazing and so worth the wait!

Here are some of the better photos I got of “before” and “during” the fireworks on the 4th:

Those clouds look scary as hell.

Also nice finale picture!

Thanks!
The clouds were very creepy-looking...probably the weirdest-looking cloud bank I’ve ever seen over the parks.
