8:20 - I'm currently at Disneyland on the tram. Dland opens at 9:00 am, so I'm early. The tram took about 10 minutes to arrive. The weather is gloomy with intermittent rain.
8:30 - in line for purchase. It's raining real heavy and I'm trying to find cover. It appears as is that the park is officially open due to the rain.
8:43 - have not moved in the line at all. Not sure if they've started selling or not. The signing is at Disneyana. The line is long. I'm standing at the Photo store near the hub.
8:51 - I've moved forward in front of the China Closet. The rain has stopped hopefully for good.

9:15 - We've moved for the second time. Crystal Arts is quite Beautiful at this time of the morning. Thank God I have my iPod. I just watched the Inside the Magic videos of WDW Haunted Mansion (cool) and O Canada.
9:30 - have not moved. Last time I was done at this point. Oh well. The park is starting to get crowded. I wish I was on a ride right now.
9:40 - still haven't moved. A horse pulling the carriage has just pooped in front of me and it stinks.
9:43 - Disney Custodian picked up most of the poop. There was too much poop and it filled his recepticle. There still some left and it still stinks. The omnibus was very careful not to run over it.
9:50 - the poop is gone. Still not moving.
10:03 - still haven't moved. A tour just walked by. It was interesting. All of the tour participants had headphones on. The guide had a headset with mic. She wasn't saying anything. Curious.
10:05 - Things are picking up. I just took a few step. Now I'm in front of the Castle Bros entrance. I love my iPod.
10:10 - An employee just walked by finding out how many sets people want. Apparently they did not anticipate the demand. I was told that all of the presigns will be sold before I get to Disneyana. It's going to be a long day.
Also only one of the two accessory pieces is here.
10:24 - horse just pooped in front of me again. Cast member was there when it happened and is picking it up as I write.
10:31 - part of the reason the line is moving slow is due to the line crossing between Disney Clothiers and the Market house. Hopefully after moving past the crossing I will feel like I'm actually getting somewhere. People around me are getting annoyed.
They are complaining primarily about the two cash registers and the packing and unpacking for inspection and then the second line to get the piece signed.
11:14 - just crossed the street to the Market House. I was told its another half hour from here. Sigh.
11:25 - I was handed a preorder form. Was told that I'm guaranteed to purchase the main pieces. I might be able to purchase the accessory pack. I'm 16 people away.
11:39 - they are officially sold out of the ticket gate accessory pack. They expect more later this week, but it won't be signed. 9 people away from going inside.
11:53 - being in line I notice things I didn't know happened here. Dapper dans are performing on the Horse and Carriage. Horse and carriage moves pretty fast. The drivers are constantly warning pedestrians that they are on the way. I'm standing next to a broken gas lamp and a cast member is trying to fix it.
Best I can tell is the end of the line is at the China Closet. Travis has the main street in a covered base to show off the electrical lighting.
I was just aske how many sets I'm buying. I'm glad I didn't show up an hour later than I did. 4 people away.
12:00 pm - 1 person away.
12:05 - just paid for it. Next the inspection table. I'm notified that I can only have one set signed by Bob. this really stinks.
12:28 - signed. Spoke briefly to Bob. He said to order the electrical kit now.
12:30 - done. My long morning is over and I get to carry four boxes in the rain. Nuff blogging for today.
