Mrs. ktulu got a picture of a woman breastfeeding a baby...oh, that is not the SGT, doing it while on King Triton's Carousel however...
Then while in line for Star Tours, Mrs. ktulu see's a guy jump the line. Is caught. Is told to walk through the ride when he gets there and exit. Decides to take an empty seat in row 5. Mrs. ktulu is not having it, CM says he is already aware and they offer the SG two choices, he goes out on his own, or with an escort. He left under his own power.
Other than line jumping, including the guy who took his family of 5-6 line jumping at TSMM at opening, nothing too horrible. Crowds were large, flash was used on Pirates and Little Mermaid (so annoying), but we did have a good ride on Pirates one night when I took my oldest to the park to burn some fast passes and ride a few more rides.
We also got to spend some time with friends from SGT, specifically Lady U and her little cutie Little Lady U, hope she recovered! We also enjoyed spending time with Main Streeter, thanks again for the invite!!! We miss everyone and Disneyland already!

Sounds like an awesome time! When you were on FBook posting your presence at Club 33 last week, I was envious, but also enjoying reliving my own memories there from a couple of years ago. So... any pics?

So... any pics?There were pix on cells. Am sure Kman took some with his great camera. Not sure what he'll post. None of me I am sure, though I was dressed in finery for a change.;)

I'll fully admit to breastfeeding my 11 month old on the carousel in WDW. I was sitting on one of the benches, though, not on a horse. Does that make it better? Probably not. lol

I'm good with you doing it on a bench on the carousel. But one thing I am dying to know now, does the centrifugal force have any effect on the child as he/she feeds?

You were in pics, by the table used in Mary Poppins that only had two legs due to budget cuts :)

Bench is okay, horse, not so much...

Depends which way you are facing I guess!
Kman, what did you think if the Little Mermaid ride?
I really liked it, the one scene the hair looks like ice cream, but other than that we really enjoyed it. We got on with less than 5 minute wait each time (early opening for resort guests, and right at park opening), and the line was never longer than 15 minutes. My youngest wanted to ride it twice on our last day, so we did because the line was so short.

I don't want to know why there even was a wait...

I can't even fathom how that would work on a horse. I don't know whether to be horrified or impressed...

Kman, was thinking abt entering & exiting DL last week with Gunny. I had to plan the route so carefully then he HAD to wear shades. Seemed almost like a drug deal going down.:D: :D:

In the short term yes. Long term, the sun can wreck your eyes. I met a long time sailor who had been having eye problems. The doc told him he had fried his eyes from constant exposure. He now never goes outside without his shades on.
What's interesting is clear glasses do an okay job of blocking UVA and UVB. Obviously, the darker the lenses, the better the protection.

I would wear sunglasses, but when I inquired about the price of getting my old lenses fitted with sunglasses, the CFO went :eek: and said I can wait. I don't go out much, I need to keep my geeky whiteness ;)

Call it what you will...it is geeky whiteness. I blind people if I take my shirt off outside! People use the rays reflecting off of me to get a tan.

I get those fifteen buck sunglasses that wrap around regular glasses and offer shade to the sides. And I wear a hat. A LARGE hat. I also avoid the outside (mostly I need the sunglasses for driving) and, when I can't avoid the outside, stick to the shade whenever possible. I call it geeky whiteness, but hubby says I'm a vampire. ;)

My favorite taco place is in a gas station near downtown Dallas. It was rated the number one taco in Texas. Otherwise we end up at Fuzzy's.

My almost 70 year old step-dad does the same thing. I have some sun glasses that I do wear from time to time, but they don't have prescription lenses. I'm not blind without my glasses, but I do prefer to see clearly. I'd wear a hat, but I am afraid to mess up my hair. It can get unruly at times.

Made my first trip to Disneyland last week and saw/heard blessedly few SG's but one was really annoying. Going into Star Tours with a fast pass, we heard someone arguing/discussing with the cast member checking that they had gone to City Hall to complain & get fast passes for Star Tours because they got the same combination of destinations twice.
Really? That was worth walking across the park to complain about? Guess what? It's going to happen.
We did though hope that if they did get in with the fastpass that they got the same combination again on their 3rd attempt.

Best shades I ever got were a brand called EagleEyes. Purportedly, they work on the same pinciple that an eagle's eye works on. www.eagleeyes.com .
Last time I checked the site, a pair was $79.95 for the classics, and they come with a 3 year warranty plus a free extra pair. They were comfortable, durable--lasted 6 years--and I found them in a Rite Aid in York, PA where they make you sign up with them for 440/year so you can buy certain merchandise. That was the only way I could get the shades, and a CD player I got there too. Stupid system if you ask me, though.

Wow...your have your progressive lensesin sunglasses, too! I'm impressed...mine are just clear, and for sunglasses, well....Walmart has a nice assortment of clip on shades and one fits my lenses perfectly...
That said, I really want my distance lenses in prescription shades, but SWMBO says too expensive for now....dang...
