    Stopped by the Haunted Mansion next.. they had a slight hiccup and we were stopped for 10 minutes or so waiting outside.
    Looks like some new projection gear has been installed since our last ride (or things just looked really bright). I know it is hard to tell in photos..

    Seems the hidden Mickey craze is still going on and I get some questions about them.. here is one of the easier ones to spot..

    Stopped by Pooh to see my Country Bear friends (some had rumored based on an LA Times article that the archives claimed them.. but I can report they are still there.. I could not get a picture since I was put in a car with some others and did not want to be rude with a flash to get the shot).

    One last look at DCA for the evening.
    Over to Disneyland for the fireworks.
    I found a spot about 9:00pm figuring a half hour wait was not bad.. this turned into almost a 50 minute wait due to a delay in the show. It looked like Fantasmic was the reason.
