Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

I liked the park, but, you have to be part mountain goat to get around it. For most it is not a problem, but, with my less then perfect right leg... it was a challenge. It didn't seem like there was much for me to do since I am not a roller-coaster fan. The kiddie section was the only part that was really sad. They had, are you ready for this, Flying Elephants, a Tea cup ride and a mini-Raceway, that made the one in MK seem like a real race track. Lots of music, a lot of interaction with actual people (actors) and some nice scenery, but, oh, the climbing. I was there just before Christmas and the place was very well decorated at night. It was nice, but, Disney has spoiled me. I don't seem to have any desire to go back and it isn't all that far away from where I live. I guess I am pretty picky about my theme park experiences. Kings Dominion is even closer, and I have no desire to go there at all. All KD is to me is a landmark that I remember from my early days (in the 80's) along I-95. I do intend to go back to Pigeon Forge, but, only to go to the Titanic park to see if that one sinks as well.

If by "old charm" you mean dirty, then you are correct. After my visit to Dollywood, WDW looked like an operating room. I would guess that a lot of the appearance of dirty is due to coal burning full sized steam train that runs through the park. That thing coughs up soot and burning embers constantly. The place was a Silver Dollar Theme Park long before Dolly bought it. I'm sure it is nicer now then it was when they owned it, but, it left me unimpressed. Even the parking lot shuttles were, how to say this, different. An old International school bus with the sides cut out and some steps welded in along the side so you could get on and off. I swear Disney has thrown away better transportation then they kept.

I know that sounds negative, but, I don't mean it to be, it certainly is unique. I just want to describe my images. It was six years ago when I went to the park. Many things have changed since then, I'm sure.

Nice way to throw a wet blanket on Batman's report. He and millions of Americans, myself included, find it quite delightful and exceptionally clean with friendly staff.

You know what's funny?
I know... but it's where I store my photos so I'm geting a little impatient with it!

I have an old laptop that barely works. I only keep it because it contains all my music and it is where I sync my iPhone. Otherwise, I use my work laptop or DW's laptop. I am too cheap to buy a new one for myself...because what is the point? hah

Yep. This is pretty much the most interesting thread on the entire internet...
Well the title is at least interesting. If the thread doesn't have drama like the dreaded Facebook or other Social Media sites than it is right up my alley. I don't like FB or other sites like that.

Sorry you see it as throwing a wet blanket on anything. I just said some of the things that I noticed, but, also was positive about other things. That's called balanced. It is my reaction to it, not yours or anyone elses. I didn't say, take my advice and don't go, I said that I, personally, was not impressed. If you enjoyed it, that's great. I didn't and I explained the reasons why. I am not affected in anyway by how Batman enjoyed his time there nor do I see where I said anything to take away from the good time that he had.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
First one is good. Second one bad. I've heard the new one is better than the second.
Let's add the Minions movie to the mix, shall we?
1. The original - it's so fluffy!

2. #4 - great music!


3. The Minions movie - needs more Gru.











4. #2 - I hate Happy!

Anyone else think of @JenniferS when they read this? ;)

I did. :hilarious:
