Like others have said...really enjoy your reports. So glad you are having a fantastic time.
Two more cool things from yesterday....
I was hanging out in the Mexico pavillion when those awesome Mariache Cobres started playing. I have only heard them outside, and the acoustics inside are incredible. I stayed for their whole show, and at the end I noticed a huge number of cast members gathering around them. The musicians then announced that they always played a tribute send off song to a cast member whose 51 week international tour of duty was up, and that night they were sending off another young man back home. He was all smiles, and his peers where too. I also noticed lots of regular Disney employees (not the Mexico ones) that came by just to send him off. It was warm and moving. Another ounce of Disney magic.
AND, some baby duck magic. Strolling toward Mexico, there was a mama duck and 5 adorable little babies just waddling right across the walkway as if there were not 500 people walking around. It was priceless. A cast member told me that the animals have absolutely no fear of people - they were born there, and people did not harm them. This little gang was making their way over the the San Angel Cantina to see if there were any little snack tidbits that a cast member overlooked with his/her little broom and dustpan....magic everywhere, folks.
We're watching the weather for tonight, may head up later this afternoon for some more Slippery When Wet. We saw the first 2 sets the other night, but I like the 3rd one, when it's dark. If we come up we'll go to all 3, love that they are all different sets.
Glad you are having such a good time. I love that you notice the little things that make the magic. So many people are in such a hurry they miss all the little things. We love the Disney ducks and the bunnies too! People don't get how we can go to Disney so much and not get sick of it, but we still find magic every time we go. It's so nice to find other people that appreciate the magic. Hope you enjoy Slippery When Wet!
If we go tonight, I'll have my yellow Dole Whip tee shirt on, and I'll be with my dh, we're both tall and will sit up front on the left (I like to look at the guitar player, he's hot!)

Hey, Doc! This was wonderful, thank you for the detail on Voices of Liberty. It sounds like it meant a lot to everyone there.
Fellow Americans, I hear your tambourines inside my head and that's no lie!
Great TR! Keep them coming...it makes me feel like I'm there with you
