Walt Disney World again

I'm at Disney World again with K, my usual Disney travel companion. Previous attempts to blog these trips usually fizzle several days in, so I"m trying a new approach: use my neglected twitter account to record things as the day progresses, then turn on the LJ tool to go grab those posts and put them here. We'll see if the LJ/twitter thing works tonight, I guess. If not, I'll at least have the tweets as a general record...
