Spirited Friday Musings:
Hey, get off my , I didn't tell you to go bet $2.6 million on the Miami Heat winning Game 4, Floyd!
From the 'It Can't Get Any More Bizarre Than This Yet It Always Does' Dept., my 74-year-old father got carded to get alcohol today and, no, it wasn't a joke. Now, maybe if he had some work he could pass for 64. And if I brought him to a 'doctor' I know in 90210, that could probably be taken down into his late 50s. But c'mon ... REALLY?!?!
Don't know if it has been talked about, but UNI is hoping for TM previews of Gringotts by Monday.
On the subject of UNI's big development, it looks like it's going to be what we largely thought: a great new area that has best-in-O-Town theming, but also isn't perfect. I've heard about short-sighted moves to cut effects in both Gringotts and on the Hogsmeade Express. But I've also heard that these are still great attractions and should make the masses very happy.
(Now, do you think UNI fanbois will take the above as a largely positive post or do you think they'll be taking shots at me in the Twitverse because, much like the pixie dust snorters, it's all positive or nothing?)
Speaking of which, Kong will be too reliant on screens. Sorry, but that is the reality.
I think 'we' need more DVC points. I just can't keep up the travel pace of some of the Lifestylers and it's bringing me down, dude.
Censored for your protection.
Nice to see the DPB run more of
@WDWFigment's great pics (now I get why you were at WDW and not DLR for the 24-hour event) ... but let's talk about Erin Glover (I need a nickname for her) and her post about the subs returning at the start of the new fiscal year. Gee, those Miceage dudes were right, after all.
BTW, Star Wars plans for DLR have taken a rather interesting turn and involve existing attractions, but not the ones originally thought. And, no, you won't get a word more out of me until things move further along.
Yes, it's true, the
@EPCOT Explorer is up at WDW as an APer for the first time. Please help my 'little buddy' grow his Lifestyler BRAND by saying hey to him if you see him in the parks. He'll be the one getting excited by wall carpeting and the 80s 'thematics' of the Odyssey complex. (BTW, having dined there numerous times in the 80s and 90s, does that make me fanboi royalty?)
So, we are arguing about people who have no business running in serious races, running at Disney events again? Some people will never get the point, even if you hit them over the head with 75 pounds of fat that was lipo'd out of someone who needed to lose a few pounds!
This has been a very good week, and I want to thank all who helped.
Someone sent a note asking when is Frozen happening at EPCOT. I have no solid date. But I wouldn't expect to ride Maelstrom past this fall.
I hope
@Lee and Mrs. Lee enjoyed their (short by my standards) vacation. I could take her on LONGER trips, myself!
Jonah Hill is really Jonah Hill Feldstein. His father is one of the biggest names in talent management when it comes to super groups. I believe his older bro is a bigshot in the business as well. That is why you know Jonah Hill, kinda like Adam Levine, like Chris Pine etc. The point being that most folks in Hollywood, just like in every other business, get where they are with a little help (or a lot) by their families.
So, lemme get this straight: Captain America, Spidey and the X-Men were all summer movies, yet summer doesn't start for a week and by then they'll all be long gone from most cinemas.
Yes, it's true. I am a Faux Top One Percenter. It is also true that my breakfast today was a yogurt parfait from McD's and water (from home). Total cost was $1.06.
Could Bob Iger have to answer some difficult questions very soon? C'mon, you heard me say that it's been a VERY good week!
