As is life....

This sounds like something I would say.

I was told that they could sell me the wine, but they couldn't sell me a corkscrew for fear that I would drink the wine in the park. Maddie stepped up and bought me a corkscrew for Mother's Day.

They are amusingly demented sometimes about that kind of thing, aren't they? Similarly, I tried to buy a shot glass somewhere or other in the park and I was assured there were no shot glasses sold at WDW. Then they showed me a selection of "toothpick holders". Toothpicks not included, of course!

I can also tell you that they don't approve of you buying the souvenier passport to keep track of your "Drinking Round The World".

All I will say is, if Disney World is hell, I will be MUCH badder from now on.

I love it.

20 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!

Thanks for the get well wishes, etc. Did fine for a day, came back early today, pushing it too hard. Will lay low tomorrow, Wednesday, while wife and older boys (who LOVE the place) go play.

Did Mission Space yesterday. Yacked. And I used to fly in the back of Uncle Sam's airplanes. It's he11 getting old and curmudgeonly (sp?).

Yes, they do have Fast Pass and we use it to the max extent possible. Crowds haven't been horrendous, I'm just not a fan of anyone...can one still get a job as an ogre?

They've redone a lot of the attractions, some for the better, some not. I am NOT a fan of the change to Pirates of the Carribbean becoming a shill for the movie in every scene. I thought the idea was the other way around anyway.

Ok, I've spent a lot of time people watching. Some observations/tips:

Starting with the ladies:

I believe the idea behind a 'belly shirt' is when you don't have one. Please get the clue!!! I'll admit I have a good 15-20 lbs that I don't need to be toting around, but I also enjoy my loose shirts that cover them. I also have 6'5" of frame to disperse it over. It is just GROSS to see the spare tire making revolutions when you think you're being sexy.

Also, I don't care how good looking you are or think you are; I do not need to see your 'business' just about to jump out of the low rider hip hugger jeans. I love women and the idea of them/their form, etc., but c'mon, it's Disney, for crying out loud!!

Fellas, black socks at any time without a matching two or three piece suit is just not on..........

I have seen so many couples' spats, all in the name of "we're gonna have a good time, dammit!" We've even had a couple - wife does not want the kid to miss anything and I'm playing the 'she's sick, she's not going. Questions?" And you can imagine how that approach works......

Finally, handicapped and in genuine in-need folks excepted, I am really fed up (no pun intended) with the explosion of 'fat bastard' scooters. It looks like a 21st century saloon hitching post outside most of the eateries with the electric scooters lined up.

Again, no worries if you need the help, but a lot of these fat bastards of both sexes park 'em, do the ride, then hop back on. Maybe walking a little more might help? Oh, and not wolfing down the 2-3 double cheeseburgers....

This will be my last trip to anything Disney. There will be a spot open the next time my wife wants to go. PM me if you want to go in my place; I'm gonna stay home and watch the cat................

Nah, you must have picked up a touch of the germs your daughter has.

Well, it is certainly living down to your expectations.

Just make sure you don't ruin your daughter's trip just to prove your point...

No sure of the intent of this, but I would never do that.

Except for being under the weather and having to miss a day or two, she, as well as my sons and wife, are having a great time.

I can a) mask my curmudgeonly (sp?) views on humanity and b) attempt humor in some of the posts about the 'happiest place on earth' with the best of them.

My liberal guilt did not prevent me from giggling while reading your rant, flybrick!

My favorite quote from Disney "You will have a good time even if it kills you!"
