Crowds in the park are huge. Wind has shifted so I had to backtrack away from where I had planned to spend new year's. I'm staying at this end of the park.

House of Innoventions

Has WiFi. So I've caught up.

Rain

Yup. It's raining now. I've taken cover in Innoventions and am
waiting in line for the House of Innoventions. Hope it's just a
cloudburst and not like 2002-2003.

For the single rider line...but it was much less than that.  The standby line said 120 min.

Test Track has a single rider line!

The standby line was 120 min.  The singles line said 60 and it was really closer to 35-40.

This is where the Epcot wand (previously the 2000 wand) used to be.

Spaceship Earth is open

Park Hours

Well the Magic Kingdom is open until 1:00 a.m. with Extra Magic hours until 4:00 a.m.  Epcot is open only until 9:30 p.m., so I guess that means a walk over to Epcot to renew the annual pass, a walk through Epcot to visit the revised Spaceship Earth and then either hang around until the fireworks show (Illuminations) ends at Epcot or if it seems too busy, just hop on the monorail over to the TTC and then on to the Magic Kingdom.

Something tells me that I won't be back to the room until just before the parks open again tomorrow at 7 a.m. I'll get some sleep then...since I'll be out late for New Year's Eve... watch for the photoblogging...

A nice touch

Winter Road Damage today!



Winter Road Damage today!, originally uploaded by asdhollywood.

You too had better watch out for the entrance ramp to the Kennedy Expressway at Adams Street here in Chicago. This tire quickly went to 0 PSI at 40+ MPH around 4 p.m.  I quickly got off and am now waiting at the dealership for a new tire.  It's the season of giving after all...

The first post

Welcome to ASDHollywood.com's Photo Blog.  This first post was merely to get the blog up and going.  The next thing to go live will be the hook-up over at Flickr.com to allow for nearly immediate posts from my iPhone.
