Disney sucks the life out of me
Published by jinfinite8 April 3rd, 2007 in John and Julia.As mentioned on my last post about John and Julia with their Lego’s, we had a quick trip up to Orlando this Sunday. We went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and I have to say that it only served to piss me off all the more at Walt Disney. Disney costs too much, it’s too up itself, and is just one-long-never-ending-line. But even though I have long since passed my tolerance for Mickey Mouse and his band of annoying-the-piss-out-of-you creatures, the kids LOVE it. And so we will go again and again and again until someday the tables are turned and THEY will have to put up with this shit. At which point I’ll remind them that the best theme parks have Beer.
I’ll also point out that once the kids get big enough, you can actually go on some of the rides. That is, unless they’re roller coaster pussies like I was as a kid. Fortunately, Shannon was able to get Max and Charlie 90% over their own inherited-from-me fear, and John and Julia were born with their mother’s love of rides. It’s only a matter of time before theme parks get more interesting and then we’ll forgo the Magic Kingdom for roller coaster parks with good bars. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout!
For now, we are left to suffer through hugging Poo Bear and other cast characters. Though, speaking of men dressed up in suits that spend far too much time around little kids - one of the pics of the kids and tigger looks rather wrong. You’ll see.
Head on over to the latest photo album I’ve uploaded to Flickr to see the photos of our adventure.

“Grandpa…?”
“Yes, baby”
“Grandpa, make a noise like a frog”
“Huh?”
“Grandpa, you know, a frog. PLEEEEZE.”
“Baby, I don’t understand.”
“Grandpa, make a noise like a frog.”
“A frog?”
“Yes, yes, Grandpa! A frog!”
“Baby, why do you want me to make a sound like a frog?”
“Because Mommy said the first thing we’re going to do when you croak is we’re going to Disney World!”
LOL - Thanks Grumpy, I needed that!
