Happy Saturday. Tennis this morning, a couple of EPL matches, and enjoying time with my fake fireplace, Christmas tree, and Survivor on Hulu. UK vs UL football wasn't much this year.
He's good. Just an eye checkup.
Good to hear.
although I was working all day yesterday I did partake in the Black Friday sales early in the morning. Not at a store, I’m not crazy enough to fight my way through that mess. Did online shopping from bed, must more civilized.
I picked up a FireStick at half price so I can get Disney+ on the TV
Also got a new computer since our current one is 8 years old and seen better days (just runs really slow). Of course it’s barely used anymore since everyone has phones and tablets. But DD12 is doing more school work on it. It was really time for a new one anyway.
Good get on Firestick. We have those (w/ Prime), a 10 channel cable package, and Disney+, ESPN+, & Hulu. That's way too much TV.
Not the first time we have seen her in that position
. I really want a monorail for the tree, but as I went to buy it, last year in Wilderness Lodge, the CM put me off saying they keep breaking down. I might try and buy a vintage one. Nice tree there buddy, very festive. We are not allowed to put up decs until after Lady K's birthday, which is Monday. But I have started setting up a "Griswold Bar". I'll stick a photo up later.
We've had ours a decade. Maybe? I'd just buy another if it breaks. If I ever get my own room in the house, I may do a monorail set like a train set with multiple lines.
Love it. We could stretch this over a week. A Park a day? Shall we start with the Main One? So MK rides...
It's really tough for MK, so I cheated and made 3 categories
Design & Theming and Overall Coolness
1. Splash Mountain
2. Jungle Cruise
3. Haunted Mansion
4. BTMRR
5. 7DMT
Emotional attachment
1. Barnstormer (First Coaster with Both Kids)
2. Its a small world (The Curly haired Ninja still looks in wonder at this, and has been her favourite since she was 2)
3. Haunted Mansion (First ride we ever did with the kids in MK)
4. Splash (Will always be the Boy's favourite ride until he becomes a teenager)
5. Carousel of Progress
Not top attractions but things we always do without fail
1. Tiki Room
2. People Mover
3. Carousel of Progress
4. Barnstormer
5. Tea Cups
Sorry for the essay. Have a great day fellas.
Well, this ain't easy. So, my hot Stacy MK must do attractions at MK from memory. I have to ride the train. Not right away, but at least 2 laps around during the day. DW got me hooked on those candy caramel Mickey apples from the Main Street store (over on the right) and other theme parks. And, have to get a picture with Cinderella's castle as a backdrop.
In Tomorrowland, Space Mountain is the must do. Astro Orbiter is nice, especially at night. I like the Carousel of Progress, but it is usually just a nice way to rest. And, the People Mover is just a great way to tour through the land.
Over in Fantasyland, the tea cups were the first selfie I took with DW with our 35 mm camera on our honeymoon in 2000. IASW is a must do as well. Peter Pan's Flight is a good one, but not a must do.
Liberty Square is the Haunted Mansion.
Frontierland is of course BTMRR and Splash Mountain. I'm partial to Country Bear Jamboree and the churros stand.
Adventureland for POTC, because the movies were so good, and I've thought about a tattoo of the Black Pearl. Jungle Cruise for the backside of water. Aloha Isle for the Dole whip.
Which leaves, my top 5:
(1) Space Mountain
(2) BTMRR
(3) Splash Mountain
(4) Mad Tea Party
(5) Walt Disney World Railroad
Ok, here are my top 5 rides:
1. Dawa
2. Nomans
3. Baseline
4. Trader Sams
5. Tambu
Top 5 bars? Dawa isn't my favorite. CJ and I were partial to Bellevue Lounge at BWV and Tambu. If the service were any better at TOTWL, then that would be my #1 pick.
