Saturday Musings

Observations from Disney:

*Short shorts, cheeks, and muffin tops are in abundance...do people seriously not look in a mirror in the morning? Or, if they do, do they really think, "Man, I look good" ???

*When the wait time for a ride is five minutes, why, oh, why, do people get a Fastpass for it? I mean, really?

*When your child is having a meltdown and is screaming at the top of his lungs, "NOOOOO! I DOOOOON'T WANT TO RIDE!!!" - then perhaps he's serious and he really doesn't want to ride. Why force the issue and cause everyone else around you to experience the meltdown, as well?

*When the Castmember says, "No flash photography" - why would you think you're the exception?

*Pixie dust exists...if you're nice to Castmembers, they're nice to you...and may give you a perk, such as sitting in the front row or giving you an extra Fastpass. They're people, too, and they appreciate common courtesy.

*By utilizing Fastpasses and Single Rider Line, I was able to ride Expedition Everest a personal record TWELVE times today. Which was pretty freakin' awesome. It's the number one ride at Animal Kingdom, by far.

*At Magic Kingdom, the best ride is and always will be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Better than Space Mountain, and slightly better than the Haunted Mansion.

*Test Track at Epcot is most excellent, followed by Soarin'. Mission Space comes in third.

*At Hollywood Studios, Rock 'n Roller Coaster is the best ride. Riding it five times in a row yesterday morning was quite a thrill - there's nothing like a roller coaster, in the dark, with Aerosmith blasting in your ears.

*All good things must come to an end...I'm getting my eviction notice in the morning from Disney and it will be time to head back to Ft. Myers for a few days - and then back to KC. I'm ready to go home....

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend - I'm off to rest my feet.

Peace.
