First off, it was somewhat surreal to hear many passersby point, stare, or comment when Glass caught their eye. Many people have heard of it-- many more than in my small hometown community, at least! Even a Disney vendor, manning the cart that sold light up Mickey ears and glow in the dark Mickey sticks, inquired as to how I liked Glass. Although he wasn't in costume, it still was odd for me to view any Disney employee not acting "in character," and actually acting as a normal, inquisitive human being.
Although the photos and video clips that I recorded that night in Florida are not first-rate (blame for that rests on the photographer!), they did allow for a sense of freedom to not have to pull out my phone or dSLR camera in order to capture something quickly. It was very easy to command Glass to take a picture or video, and I got more adept at extending the video clips beyond the typical 10 second limit by pressing the camera button.
I was delighted beyond belief to find my Glass-captured media waiting for me in my Google+ Photos account, organized as one event. What was even more exciting was the option that Google provided of automatically turning it into a "story" for me.
This is my first Google+ Story, created all with Glass:

Disneyworld with my family was a memory-filled event. Thanks to Google Glass, I have even richer memories to add to our collection!
