They have this thing in DCA called "Animation Academy" which is different from the last time I was there. Now they actually teach you to draw something.

I drew Pooh!

Inside PotC. I *wanted* the boat to stop at the dog and the jail scene, but no. So this is what I have a pic of.

Indiana Jones: Best themed ride anywhere. This is just part of the queue.

Karen and I have gone on the Buzz Lightyear ride every time she's been here. There's something therapeutic about shooting lasers at things.

EEEEE! I love the Halloween/Christmas layover for the Haunted Mansion.

Heh. The skull has a Santa hat.

Neato wreathes and different pictures in the hallway.

*sniff* Unless the car actually stops there sometime, I'll never get a pic of Zero.

The car was stopped here. The strange thing is that light under the table. You couldn't see it with the naked eye, but if you looked on my camera screen, you could. Probably some kind of infrared camera something or other for the ride. OR A REAL GHOST!!!

Moving, and so blurry. The graveyard area is covered in "snow."

It probably has to do with the amount of light in a ride, because this was also taken without a flash and the car was moving in the Monsters Inc. ride.

And this.

Okay, this was stopped. Heh.

MUPPETS! Fozzie talks to the penguins during pre-show on the monitors.

Love. This.

Awww. The giant pumpkins.

DCA might not have a lot there, but it makes for a pretty night shot.

We went on Sunday, the day the fires started. We had no idea there was anything going on, but the winds were *horrible.* You can see how much dust was being kicked up. I'm surprised they had their little tram/bus running. By the time we got off of it, Karen and I were covered in dirt. It was icky.

Seeing a bit more of the winds in the background.

Catnap.

So pretty.

Nom nom nom. I like their program with the elephants. During the show if the elephant doesn't want to do anything, it doesn't have to. It can just stand there if it feels like it. This one was having an "I'm going to stand here. Please feed me." day. *snickers*

I love the beautiful aviaries they have. The ones at the Zoo are even prettier.

Lotsa ducks.

Meerkat: Dudes. Uh, fire?
Humans: Awwwww! *takes pictures*
Meerkat: Hello? Oh, never mind.

Baby camel!!

Run away!! Yeah, normally you can see a mountain there, but since that's where the fire was...

Wee bit more than smog.

Charlie: I am the cutest dog in the world!!

Charlie: No, really!! Even when I destroy everything in my path by chewing it up!

Me: AAAH! You chewed up a perfectly good cup! *CAMERA FLASH*
Charlie: Ow. I'm still cute. HA.

This was just this past Saturday, driving back from lunch with the parents. You can't see it very well, but on the right, that whole area is burned. And the haze straight ahead isn't fog. *coughs*
