It's nice to read some of your comparisons between here and Florida. I've always wanted to visit WDW but have yet to have a chance to do so yet. Disneyland, on the other hand, I've visited plenty of times, and love it every single time!
Watching shows such as Fantasmic!, World of Color, and the Fireworks shows are always a must. The last time we were at DCA, it was the first time watching WOC in person, and to be quite honest, I wasn't sure how much I liked it. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful show, and what they've done is absolutely amazing, but I thought the videos I had seen were better. I'm sure that the viewing area from which we watched had a big effect on my opinion, but from here on out, I think I'll stick to Fantasmic! There's no overkill with it, and anyone who ever gets sick of it, or tired of watching it, is absolutely nuts if you ask me. There was a long time of going to Disneyland after work just to make our way through the park to our usual viewing area just to watch it, maybe go on Space Mountain, and then go home.
I'm glad you've had an enjoyable time, and can't wait to see all of the pictures and video you've taken.
