    Should be a decent time to go to Disney, shouldn't be overly crowded, especially on weekdays.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Be sure to hit up Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
    Best thing Disney has done in decades.

    Unless there is a sign that says, "People with heart problems should not put their fat asses on this ride", then I will check it out. hahahaha

    Spiderman ride is only in Cali, so Speedy won't get to experience that.
    Yeah, we learned the hard way our first day about booking a reservation on the app for Rise of the Resistance.

    We were actually in Disney about 18 months ago. We did the Rise of The Resistance. But this will be our 1st time seeing what this Genie App. is all about. My wife and I have been getting a good laugh about which rides I will probably want to stay away from since the heart attack. Its funny yet so very sad. 

    I mean, seriously, how many times can one really go on Its A Small World?!?!

    I'm hitting up Florida Universal Studios end of April then cruising with Disney in May. Tired of same old Didney rides. We'll both be screaming nearby one another, Speedy!

    Ha, I can't stand Small World but my wife always wants to ride it.

    Funny Small World story from the past. Went to Disneyworld with my wife's siters family for New Year's 2000. We had just been married for about a year and a half, but her sister is 10 years older, had 3 kids and her brother lives in Miami, so he was there as well.
    We ride Small World, and at the end my brother-in-law asks my nephew (12 years old at the time), "So Mike what do think the point was of that ride?" thinking his response would be "Its a Small World" after we heard these dolls sing it 286,000 times in a 7 minute span.
    Instead, my nephew's response was "It's lame?"

    I wonder if I will ever visit Disney again. We went quite a few times with the kids but I can't imagine navigating that place now.

    We had one vacation where we stayed at a Disney resort and hit parks every day. Then another where we stayed off site and hit them every other day.

    The best visit we had was a year where we rented a house in Kissimmee that had a pool. We went to Magic Kingdom one day and I think Universal another.  That was a nice vacation. The kids were happy with the pool the off days and we didn't wear ourselves out at the parks.

    I have soured on those places (mainly Disney) due to them overselling admission.  It is just fucking miserable to stand in line all fucking day fighting people. Even eating was a fucking hassle.

    Of course I'm probably just getting old.

    I’ve been on 3 cruises, everyone I ended up sick.  Cruises are nasty germ incubators…I’ll never do them again…plus they will bleed you dry if you like to consume some alcohol…

    One thing covid brought to Disney? 

    Its kind of nice having those hand sanitizer stations every 10 feet. 
    Seemed like every person working at those parks had a bottle of cleaning solution in their hands.

    So are kids, lol.

    Everyday when you wake up and open the blinds you're presented with a beautiful gift!

    It's wonderful to wake up in a new country (city/place) to explore daily!

    And if that doesn't sell you... 24-hour room service.
