Olszewski Main Street Electrical Parade Signing Event

I'm at the Olszewski signing this morning. I don't think this one will be at busy one like the past two. All of the main street collection is out and now we're collecting the accessories. Today is a great accessory. Its the Main Street Electrical Parade. This collection is just the first four floats including Train and drum, Elliott, Wonderland Floats.

7:30 - Arrive at Disneyland.

7:43 - I'm in the ticket line and there's a lot of people but the gate is not open yet, except for hotel guests.

7:49 - Gates open.

7:54 - through the gate. Pet Peeve-please have your tickets ready before you get to the gate. I found myself standing, not moving because guests don't know that they need tickets to get in. You actually have to purchase them before hand.

7:56 - in line. My spot is in front of the Disney Showcase store. Now I'm listening to the Disney Parade music because the park just opened. I love my new cellular phone.

8:08 - line is not moving, as expected. It currently ends in front of the opera house.

8:10 - I was just notified that they are out of wristbands. Distribution stopped about 3 people in front of me. We were told the if you have a wristband you are guaranteed to get a set. In my case thay said I have a chance to get a set, but I'm not guaranteed.

8:20 - I'm confident that I'll get a set but nervous at the same time. The people in front of me are not happy with the way Disney is handling the whole situation in general. They don't like to have to get up early pay admission into the park and not be guaranteed to get a piece. Then there's the ebayer who are ruining the fun for everyone. Oops.

8:30 - Celebrity sighting. Mickey Mouse just walked by.

8:39 - people really hate eBay.

8:47 - the line moved. Good sign.

8:57 - it was not a good sign. Have not moved.

9:02 - ok it has begun. I'm finally around the corner and their letting people in.

9:14 - just rounded the corner and I'm in front of the Magic Store. I'm so glad I have my iPod. Listening to a lot of poker stuff. Called the wife and told her about the situation. Feeling good at the moment. No real olszewski news. There's another tree accessories pack coming out and Dumbo in the fall.

9:26 - News item. If you buy this piece online on April 2nd, the piece will come with a first day plaque.

9:45 - in front of 20th Century Music. This just feels slow. I'm just glad I got here early. Thanks wifey for getting me up way too early. I can't wait to take a nap.

10:03 - getting close. 6 people away. I love the Tinkerbell box.

10:08 - next in line. They tell me I have a chance.

10:11 - an elderly couple with a awristband just got in line in front of me. I'm starting to get worried.

10:20 - I was not able to buy the pieces. I have to wait until 100. Just frustrated that I got in the wrong line at the gate. I'm guaranteed to get a signed set then. So I bought the tinkerbell light box and regular box. And waiting to get it signed.

10:40 - the signing. I finally got to Bob. He's a great guy. We talked about the rocket piece coming in July. I really liked his haunted mansion pokit pal. It the girl on the tightrope and she's stretches to the full image as you open the box.

10:44 - I'm done and I have to wait until 1230 to get in line for the light parade. I'll sign off for now. Thanks for joining in.
