  Queued up for DCA around 9am to ensure Fastpasses for the first World of Color show of the evening.
  While waiting noticed that on the time guide they listed the rededication as well as the sing a long, great to see. Wonder why the College Band reunion did not make the cut.

  Had some time to kill before the 10am park opening so took a couple random shots.
  First stop was Toy Story...
  

• Page Number: 16
  

  I did ok, about average for me. I just cannot seem to hit that next level...
  But as you can see some gamer already went through and set a huge score for the day.
  By the time we exited the queue was already almost full.

  Next up the Fun Wheel to check out the Cars Land work. As you can see a lot of steel is up and it is growing daily.
  The rockwork near one of the entrances is really taking shape. Wonder how long until it is covered and we will not be able to see the work anymore...
  Quite a few workers on site for a Saturday.
