Cast members:

DS-(also known as -wifey)-over worked, under paid, semi commando Disney fan-- as long as someone else does the planning,
TTS (also known as darling son)-Typical Teenage Son-15 years old and knows everything, won't admit how much he likes Disney cause he's gotta be 'cool'

(Have you all gone? I see you hiding in the back---shoo...go away.......ok-that's better)
Tuesday: RING....RING......RING........RING.......RING.........RING .........RING....Ok who keeps calling this early? WHAT??? Have I accidentally slept in the wrong room? Has my real family been abducted by evil space aliens and been replaced with ones that only appear to be related to me? I looked over and wifey is already up with coffee fixed and the TTS is eating breakfast (either that or he never stopped eating from the night before-not sure which)..hmmmm...both of them up can only mean one thing....ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE DAY!!!!! Yes today is the day we go off campus-Disney is great at what they do but there is a serious lack of rides for the true adrenaline junky at Disney's theme parks. We meet our towncar service at 7:55 and arrive at IOA at 8:25. We are near the front of the line impatiently waiting till they open the gates. They open and we walk very hurriedly (ok-we run) to the Incredible Hulk. We are second in line-yep, today is going according to plan. HEY?? What's this-they aren't loading anybody-10 minutes later the manager comes out and say because of the humidity they have to clean off the camera lens (wow-we just happened to visit the one day of the entire year that the humidity is high...oh well at least we got their equivalent to a fast pass for any attraction good for the entire day. Off to Spiderman-great ride but once we are getting into the area where we get off the car in front of us beaks down! Hmmmmm....we have ridden 2 rides and 2 rides have broken down-this is not a good sign. Over to Dr. Doom's Fear Fall but the line is already 25 minutes-we'll catch it later. Bee line over to Dueling Dragoons (wifeys favorite ride)-no line
we ride Ice 4 times and Fire 3 times; we decide fire is better. Lines starts forming so it's off to do something else. We do their 2 water rides and are now soaked from head to ankle (against their 'rules' we went ahead and removed our shoes and socks-what were they going to do? Put us in time out?). Rode several more of the rides then it's back to the Hulk (our TTS and mines favorite ride); walking to the Hulk we see there is no wait in the singles line for Dr. Doom so we do that first and use our fast pass at Spiderman . We also do the singles line for Hulk-wifey rode it a couple of times then bailed while TTS and I proceeded to see how many times we could ride it. I stopped counting at 12 and he stopped counting at 15 (he had more energy and could get back in line faster that me). By 3:35 I was beat from running back in line so I went and waited with wifey till it was time to go back to our town car (5:00 reservation at Fulton's Crab House). At 3:40 they closed the Hulk because of thunderstorms (can we have timed this any better?). I think I rode around 30 rides that day and the TTS at least 35-40; not bad for the $60.00 admission ticket. We wish Disney had a thrill park-don't get me wrong, we love Disney but most of there rides are geared for a younger crowd. Town car service was right on time and we are at Downtown Disney by 4:25-a little shopping then off to Fultons for dinner. 3 orders of Crab and Lobster bisque (it's not as good as the Coral Reefs in my opinion-your mileage may vary), wifely had King Crab legs, TTS and I both had the Crab Claws and Lobster tail, he had a side of mashed potatoes and then we had 2 crème brulee's (spelling??) was a most excellent meal; whipped out my Annual Pass and they took off 10% of the entire meal (including adult beverages)-saving of $19.34. I had purchased 8 day park hopper passes incase we wanted to do a park that night-we were to full from dinner to do that much walking so back to the resort (wasted $6.00 on that additional night and I didn't care)-took the boat back 'home'; went to the pool and hot tub had a couple of Foster's 'oil cans' and then it was time to crash.
