More pics


I didn't get to include all the pics I wanted to send, so here are some additional pictures I thought you might enjoy.


This is from Charles' balcony @ Disneyland Hotel. It is very "hazy" at times here due to smog.






This is "proof" at least Sandy and Julie were there. Guess who is taking this picture. We have ones with all three of us on Julie's camera, which I will download some time soon.
You can see the smog in the background, but it also rained most of the day. Since we're from Florida, we're use to "doing" attractions in the rain. It really didn't slow us down much at all; even when I sat in a puddle on one of the benches. It dried quickly.








This is the front view of the Train Station. It's a little bit different from MK Orlando, but still
very recognizable. One big difference is that this does not have a platform facing the turnstyles side of the station. As many of you know, this is where the opening ceremony is held every morning. I was "Greatly Disappointed" that HKD doesn't have an opening ceremony and I didn't get to sing and dance like I do at home. Julie and Sandy were relieved.




This is main street. A little different looking. Orlando MK doesn't have a gazebo. (The train station is to the right of the picture. The streets are brick pavers that are different colors unlike Orlando where the streets are all red. A little bit of Disney trivia - The streets are red because we are "Rolling out the red carpet to welcome you." Neat, huh? Tony's restaurant isn't here, but there are lots of good places to eat here. We sampled some of the Asian cuisine in Adventureland. Excellent!

We rode the Jungle cruise, in the rain, but Thomas, our guide, told just as "stupid" jokes as his counterpart in Florida tell. We felt right at home. Something I don't remember seeing at home is the fire on the water. It could be there; we couldn't remember.



It's almost 3 am, HK time. Need to close. More tomorrow.
