Disneyland, the happiest place on earth MY ASS!

Recommended Posts

Dude,
You are really talented...I mean really...I am going to spend all day reading your blogs.

You have managed to capture all my random thoughts that zing around my head and put them to paper, eloquently.

I might even start trying to blog some of my ramblings....For real...you inspired me.

Hey, what is that flat ting attatched to your feet when you are skydiving?

:P

I took a tour of four amusement parks:
Disneyland, Epcot Center, Animal Kingdom, and MGM Studios. All four amusement parks in ONE day!

Without going on a ride at all. I just toured all of them. It was still fun. :)
Okay, I did go on the perimeter train at Animal Kingdom. And the Monorail. But that's it.

My friend Jason (jumpjunkie) calls it "training wheels for freeflying."
I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

I came once on the weekend and almost popped a blood vessel in my head. No more of that!



:D

edited to add, that sounds kinda dirty. :)



Sounds like a toe curler:ph34r:

suddenly there's 40 strollers coming right at you followed by hugely overweight families from all over the country stopping right in the middle of the street all holding hands in a line and blundering on about nothing.



In Florida, the hugely overweight people holding hands and blubbering are Parrotheads. Jimmy Buffet fans who won't actually come out of the air-conditioning to enjoy Florida. They have club meetings at the Holiday Inn bars. How embarrassing...

Last time that I was at DW in Orlando, we almost got thrown out.

Four teenagers cut in line about 30 people ahead of us. My buddy (waiting patiently with his son) quietly says, "C'mon now. It ain't polite to cut in line... you... you four... c'mon, back of the line... good manners, now..."

He is over 6'6" and huge. The DW employees were nervously trying to ignore the conversation. He kept it up until they finally just left the line.
:D

Oh yeah, it's the 50th anniversary.



Mistake #1: In hindsight, I'm sure a brilliant woman like yourself is already asking herself this, but why would you go anywhere on the 50th anniversary?

Quote

Never go to Disneyland on the weekend.
Bob's stayed Monday and Tuesday and said the lines were more like 10 to 20 minutes long



Mistake #2: Did you grow up in CA? Because anyone who grew up in FL would've hipped you to this little secret about our own overhyped tourist Mordors.

The rides we did go on weren't nearly as fun as when I was a kid too.


Then again, what IS, Honey?

Why are people waiting an hour in line to see a fucking man in a suit acting like a dork?



Disney's primary export: Hype. What can you expect from a company that keeps a tankerload of its 50 year old movies locked up, then is suddenly moved by its love of children to release them on DVD six weeks before Christmas?

As for the depressing combination of rampant obesity and rodent-like reproductive rates, we can only put our faith in Darwin. When the ice caps finally flood us out of our houses, those bloated f*ckers will never make it up the trees.
Meanwhile, I suggest you avoid Wal-Mart as well. Again, especially on weekends.

Read Douglas Coupland's Microserfs and try Reverse Disneyland.



You know, I was really obese for most of my life. People would react with disgust like I wanted to crowd them out of space, and it was beyond my control, pretty much.

Have fun. Fat people don't make that much difference, and they are completely aware of how much they crowd you on SouthWest. Fucking with them about how they are using more cabin than you is just silly. Or how much more roller coaster. Go around and then ask them where the fudgesicle guy is selling.

I went because my loving fiance has been begging me to go for the last few months and I've been turning him down. He loves Disneyland. I took the majority of this year off of skydiving because of my spine surgery so I refused to take any of my job's vacation time to go to Disneyland because I need to get back into skydiving regularly and get current. I want to progress. I decided at the last minute to go because the weather was going to suck at my dropzone. He drove down with me and our friend Saturday morning. I was willing to just go Sunday but he's such a sweetheart he made us go Saturday too and he even coverered everything. It was so sweet and I knew how badly he wanted me to go with him so I went. I knew it would be bad. I knew I'd get overwhelmed with the crowds too. I decided to go because I love him and he wanted to spend time with ME at Disneyland. It was so sweet. He was the main reason the trip was fun for me. I got to spend it with my honey and even through the terrible crowds, shitty food and boring rides, I truly did have a good time because I got to spend it with him.

But still, the happiest place on earth? Yeah my fuckin ass. Disneyland on the weekend is a living hell. My fiance on the other hand is an angel.

Don't get me started on Disneyland

Remember that Disney had the gall to get Congress to enact "no-fly" zones within 3 miles of the 2 parks.

They claimed it was for security purposes but it was really to stop banner tow operators with "Eat at Joe's" banners from luring people out of the expensive restaurants at Disney to eat better, less expensive meals outside the Parks.

To top it off, the "no-fly" zone over Anaheim has prevented Santa from skydiving into Anaheim Town Square for the last 3 years!!!
"Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

Your actually explaining this to Robbie.Dublin is going to be good.


.



:D Is that an insult? 'Cuz isss funny! You're just jealous because I can somehow convince women that I'm listening to their deepest thoughts and feelings.

And Dublin will be good. The guys in funny suits acting like dorks there ....and make no mistake, there will be plenty.... will take pictures with you for FREE.
