    Great pictures, I miss Dolphin/Swan and the sound of boats outside the hotels. And you're definitely a gorgeous lady, DS!
    Is Jazzy's baggage missing!? hope it'll be found as soon as possible.

    Yes DS is ... and she is fun to hang with... and great for shmoozing around with. But I got to hug and smell up Scott McNeil on my own... he smells sooooooooo good ..LOL.. and we joked about dueling nose rings... once I have the cable for my camera I have a pic.. and if I wouldnt have dropped and nearly broke DS' camera ..there would be an awesome shot of her with Cullen... I still feel TERRIBLE about that.


    I just tracked my bag and seems Disney never sent it to the airport.. WTG! ( not a big fan of Disneys over commercialization crap to begin with) I may be lucky to see it by tomorrow.

    AWE!! thank you so much Sora and Jazzy and Jazzy don't feel bad.. I got to sit in the front row thanks to BG cause I was too shy to ask the guys up there and got to ask MR GOOGLE EYES a question which was fantastic...

    I AM SOOO HAPPY you tracked your bags down...

    I just got home, and am posting before I got to bed! (1 hour sleep in the last 24 does not a sane BG make!)

    Event was great! Meeting Jazzy and DS was great! Lots of fun! Met a lot of other fun folks, too. Disney parks were great, (Jazzy and I differ on the whole theme park thing,but thats OK, that keeps the world interesting!) Had a great time!

    I was reminded why people say to avoid WDW in the summer months though: Hot, Humid and crowded! I am afraid Jazzy and DS got to listen to me whine about the humidity too much! Sorry, girls! :-(

    It must've been so hot.. when I was walking around the Downtown Disney with my family, my son said "Mom, it's like there is an invisible forcefield (of heat and humidity)".

    Awesome pics, Jazzy and Nightshade. You look great, Jazzy!




    BTW, for future reference, about what time can attendees start to get in line for Mr.Cullen's autograph? Is it easy to find out where to queue up?

    from what i hear you can expect a 5 to 6 hour wait so early to rise means early to line up
