I just might be the craziest sonofabitch in here today.

Tomorrow I'm rising at 3am (ugh) to drive to Disney World for the 24 hours at the Magic Kingdom starting tomorrow at 6am. I doubt we'll (Me, Mrs, and Jr 4 year old) make it for all 24, but we'll push it until we all break (or get a little tired and cranky). So if you hear of a fight at Disney because someone tried to cut in line at It's a Small World at 2am, you can say, "Hey I know that sonofabitch"









Yippie kay yay...

Small World. But now I know. When the going gets weird, the weird go to the Haunted Mansion.

My wife and one of our kids enjoy Disneyland. A harmless quirk. I often wish my own quirks could be so harmless.

I just go to watch people. It's an anthropological investigation. I love field work.

One family relative wore the sacred Micky Mouse costume. Yes, children, Micky is often a woman.

We were riding Space Mountain just past midnight when this millenium began.

We bought the photo,

We were also there for the 50th anniversary.

My mom was there when Disneyland opened.

She and my visiting great grandma were fleeing my grandparent's crazy shit that day.

My mom's parents were both crazy by any rational measure. They could only manage to keep it together at work. At home it all fall apart.

At star wars weekends, will be at next four. It occurred to me this morning that depending on the length if the autograph lines we might head over to Mk for a couple of hours in the muddle of the night.

and there's no line.

Last time I was there we rode IASW and the lights and music went out. The boats just kept floating in the near darkness until we were in the last room before the ride ended when things came back on. It was kinda creepy but kinda cool

The boats stopped and the creepy things kept singing.

Over and over and over.

....and over.

While my Dad went off to get a beer. Don't remember much else about the fair, but that ride and song still sticks in my mind. I had a coworker who would play that just to annoy people.

One disabled man was trapped in the ride when it froze with the song playing over and over on a loop. He got $8,000 which to my mind was not nearly enough.

Guess I'm overtired. But I do share your feelings about that song. It's going to be playing in my head all day.

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!!

I actually love that ride because it's unintentionally terrifying. Like Disneyland itself.

20. Best Way to See a Park

As soon as the park opens, the crowd goes to the first ride available and stands in line. We always went to the end of the park and worked our way back to the entrance. That way, the rides are practically empty; and there is no standing in lines.

Have fun!

At least you get something nice at the end of that grueling journey.

Me?

I'm in Texas now.
