• Headed into DCA. Two food trucks now parked in the Sunshine Plaza
• And a new stand (more on both of these later)

• A VW pulls out and leads the group to the Backlot (I was not in a good position for this and will have to visit again to re-shoot it).
• Signs guiding you around as you head to the Pier area.
• This walkway was off limits unless you had a Fastpass
• The traffic heading to the Pier was routed through the Wharf and over the bridge.
• It looks bad, but things were actually quite organized and easy to move around, you just had to be patient.
• The viewing areas were clearly marked with ropes or tape.
• The pre-show this week had a different hostess
• I was over by the swings, so we could barely hear the audio of the show. Wonder why it was not brought into our area..

• The crowd queued up for the 10:15 performance.

• This CM was really into it and had a long line following her around.
• The projections on the Hyperion were impressive.
• Not so much for their interactivity as their scale/motion/energy.
• The area that is captured for the Hyperion projection
• The area by Monsters is a dead zone.. you can walk there but there is no activity.. so here is heading back to the street.
• The screens show a mix of Disney and abstract film.
• The screen by the restrooms was blank
• Nothing going on with the screen above Playhouse Disney either.
• The Sunshine Plaza had lights going too.
• Magicals finale
