My assignment for the night was fancy dress. I did it Steve. My flash was not within easy reach at the time, so I had to bump up the ISO. That's why it's so grainy...
Buzz Lightyear himself is here at HQ to brief us. It seems the evil Emperor Zurg has absconded with all the crystolic fusion power units, and he must be stopped!
Become one of Buzz Lightyear's Junior Space Rangers and enter into battle with the evil Emperor Zurg! This is a great interactive ride that is fun for the whole family. Located in Tomorrowland, the entrance to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is opposite the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.
After winding through a brightly lit queue that sets up the premise of the attraction (an animated Buzz Lightyear explains your mission to stop the evil Emperor Zurg from stealing the Universe's cystollic fusion cell supply (batteries), you'll climb aboard your own XP-38 Space Cruiser and spin through 10 interactive scenes (scaled to the size of toys).
As a Junior Space Ranger you find yourself battling huge robots for 4 1/2 minutes, while exploring planets and even hijacking a flying saucer.
To save the universe and become a Space Ranger you must collect points. Throughout the ride, locate the orange colored Emperor Zurg insignias (lightning bolt-type Z's), target them with your laser cannons and fire! You'll know if you successfully hit the target by your score on the dashboard.
At the end of the mission, you can compare your score against the Space Ranger chart to find your rank.
Each vehicle has a central joystick for spinning and two laser cannons, each with its own score board.

Just messing around with DxO and some files from my cell phone. This is on my desk at work.
I upped the exposure, fixed the white balance and upped the vibrance and contrast.
My second Buzz Lightyear. This one is an 8 inch Chocolate Squared. With assorted minis: Rogue, Storm, She Wore Lemon, After Eight, Caramel Dolce & Chocolate Squared. Happy Birthday!

Carol and I ran on down to Disneyland just for kicks. Well, really we went because neither of us had been since December and this week was the last week of "Peak" hours until summer.
We didn't have a plan other than to get away from the cares of her busy and slightly depressing April.
Me, on the other hand: I had a new lens to take for a walk.
After struggling to get to the park (we thought taking surface streets would be faster than Angel's related traffic... not true), and then, once we got in, we struggled to decide what to eat for dinner.
We settled on the newly refitted River Belle Terrace (in the wedge between Adventureland and Fronteirland, just west of the Stagecoach): it's now an expensive sandwich place. Don't get me wrong, my Tennessee BBQ Pork sandwich was tasty: just wasn't very filling. Though they did offer the plate (sandwich with beans and a quarter-spear dill pickle) with a free salad/fruit side (I choose lentil bean salad because... well, I'd never had it before), I was still a bit famished. Mental note for later: buy popcorn.
So we just chilled: walked around looking for prime photo opps in the waning sunlight (plenty at Disneyland, with all the colored lighting). We waltzed through Fantasyland (we HAD to stop in to the brand new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, of course... might as well, right?), decided to stop off at the Tea Cups (for kicks), and after a quick excursion to see the new and "improved" Small World, we made our way through Tomorrowland for the requisite visit to Buzz Lightyear.
Carol set a new Kevin-Witnessed record of around 375,000, and while she was shooting neon-lighted shapes with a laser, I was shooting with my f/1.4.
And then it struck me: like really struck me. I was taking semi-coherent shots inside a darkride.
I'll let that sink in...
I was taking quality shots at 9pm.
This is crazy.
And I couldn't help but smile and enjoy the new range of possibilities.
Of course, none of them really came out, but OH the POSSIBILITIES.
Love the way this one looked a little p-d off with the Buzzing flies.....or that just may have been me.....they were driving me crazy too.
Alright, here's what you need to know:
Buzz Lightyear costume
- Made completely by Augustine
- He bought a sewing machine for this
...and learned to sew in a matter of days
Woody costume
- Vest was sewn by Augustine
- The fabric for the vest is from Mood in NYC (of Project Runway fame)
- The rest of the outfit was from Goodwill. Including a legit cowboy hat (not pictured here) that I bought for $4 :o)
