tdl 11:50-  the temperature was around 16 degrees, but it was a bit
      chilly because of the cloudy and windy weather. the park was quiet. 
      until a few years ago, the off season was from mid-january to mid-february.
      but many teenagers and tourist groups from china visit the park at this
      time of year. now it seems that mid-april become a new off season. |

at grand emporium, we could see the floor because of there were few people
      in the shop. usually this shop is filled with people and we can't see the 
floor. |

tds 11:45-  it was just before the primavera show. 
      so there were many people around the harbor, but we could find spaces to
      view the show in the front row of standing area. 
      the park was not crowded. the waiting time was around 20-30 minutes for
      popular attractions and no  queue for other 
attractions. 
      at this time last year, the weather was warm and the azaleas in picnic
      area were in full bloom. this year the buds of the azaleas were still tight. |

there were a few people in the cape cod. it reminded me of the quiet cape cod 
that used to be. it seemed that there wasn't a queue for my friend duffy 
show. |
