Amazing he survived any of them!
Yes!
Yuss! Mission accomplished.
Dude. That's just mean.
And yet... it's not enough, is it.
Never.
That's... south of me, right?
Ha! Silly... Everything is south of me.
Usually less snow, too.
Well... in 1978, there was only MK... nothing else. My folks weren't fans (still aren't.) And we had relatives in... Tampa, I believe. Or near Tampa.
It's hard to imagine Disney World as a 1-or-2 day destination.
Heh... Sounds like my quest for poker chips.
I will see your poker chips, and raise you our National Park Junior Ranger badges.
Now you know at least one person does.... at least once.
And I'm grateful. I don't know if a hidden joke is more rewarding for the reader or the author. I'm like, "Oh, cool, somebody found that one!" And that gives me a great deal of pleasure.
Interesting... But then would snow worsen it?
I would assume, like any weather, you would have a chance of some interference with the machines broadcasting the signals.
It didn't look like it... I saw the video, looked like a slow street crossing.
I stand (or sit) corrected, then. I didn't see the video, just was going on secondhand info.
I'll past on testing the theory, thanks.
Yeah, I think we tested things well enough.
Don't try to muddy the waters with logic.
Well, it's either that or admitting that was my one bowl of broccoli for the year. Julie never stops by the boards anymore so I can't get her to vouch for me.
Clark: Roy; can I call you Roy? Have you even driven your whole family cross-country?
Roy Walley: Oh, hell yes. Once I drove all of them to Florida. The smell coming out of the back seat was terrible.
Clark: I know that smell, Roy.
This scene is even funnier to me now that I've been on so many road trips.
Well, there's your problem. You're dragging your feet. Keep them inside the van and it'll be way better.
I thought that was how these Flintstones vans operated.
I believe you. I have all of the MASH episodes memorized.
I used to be there with Star Wars (the original), Die Hard, and The Simpsons.
No! Just..... No!
I've wasted a lot of time in my life, but those three-plus hours were BRUTAL.
I get that. I want to see all of it, but... that's what I want to see the most.
California is smaller... but that was (by far) the best part.
That seems to be the consensus. Most of their other rides get a shrug from me. I can only do so many motion simulators at one time. And their movie tie-ins aren't as appealing as Disney. But I hear they knocked it out of the park with Harry Potter.
Nah. You can do less. Next time...
"There's Universal kids!"
"Yay! Can we stop, dad???"
"Nope!"
Maybe next time!
Correct.
Provided you have a large house in an upscale neighborhood.
Hence why we had to move on to the third mortgage.
Yep! Everything is just this far apart!
(holds up small space between finger and thumb.)
So easy! More people should try it.
There should be a line for people who have driven a long ways. Kinda like your own fastpass driving lane.
Oh, man. This would be like heaven. I will vote for anyone who makes this happen.
Do you happen to remember how much it was?
I want to say something like $20? Nothing outrageous, actually. They tried to upsell us on "preferred" parking for $30 or valet for $50. Regular was fine.
Yes! I'm expecting to see this on my shelf soon.
You can do this? Doesn't it break some kind of Oblivious family code?
Only the cheapskate code. But it's the same as Pirate Code, which is more like guidelines anyway.
The overriding code is "when we're finally sick of PB&J, do something else."
What the!
I just heard about this place a day or two ago on another thread!
@Flossbolna 's trip report was the first place I'd seen it.
Yes, but.... they also serve Brussels sprouts, so they're not infallible.
Excellent point. Nobody's perfect.
Of course!
Although he does look pretty dapper.
Scotty can really pull a lot of looks off.
That's really saying something.
Gotta give credit when the effort is there.
Holy smokes, that sounds good!
I stand corrected.... that sounds good!
I feel my arteries hardening just thinking about it.
You lose two years of life, but they would have been in a nursing home, so that makes it ok. Plus, I mean--all that bacon!
But it says "filling".... did they forget? Did you ask?
Odd, to say the least.
Yeah, we sent it back, and they brought another, and it still wasn't right. I'm not sure what got fouled up there. Dave didn't want to keep trying so he just said he'd eat it.
She said the milkshakes look amazing but didn't actually taste that good. And they were something like $12 apiece.
You ain't ever burning off all those calories!
True, but it's a nice story we can tell ourselves, isn't it?
Another one! I'm racking them up now!
Yeah. We're jerks.
Worth it. And in the grand scheme of things, you'll never miss that money.
Excellent point. And very comforting, since I've already spent the money anyway. The kids wear those things all the time around the house.
Pizza???? After that burger, you could eat pizza????
Well, we did go swimming first.
Awwwwww....
Okay, now
that's really nice.
I don't know how much it affected her in the moment, since that morning it was a) 5:00 in the morning, and b) she was really preoccupied with the idea of having major surgery. But we wanted to do something meaningful to put a smile on her face.
Finally!!!
Er... I mean... hope you were okay.
Uh huh.
Hopefully the dramatic story will be told later this week!
