Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
The boat sinks.
Well, it is Friday the 13th.

Speaking of which, Ski had an appointment with his advisor at school today at noon. His car is dead. One would assume the battery. No time to call CAA, so he took my car, which he returned on fumes late last night. Fingers crossed he can make it to the school and to a gas station. In the meantime, I was supposed to go to Ancaster before 2:00. Don't see that happening.

So yay, I can just relax, and drink my coffee whilst still lounging in my pj's, and talking to you fine folk.

That actually sounds pretty awesome to me. I loved the more laid back local atmosphere of Disneyland. I think it would be wonderful to be a local at Disneyland and vacation at WDW.
It is pretty awesome, if you are part of it, however, these are all friends that probably meet in the parks two or three times a week. It's not like you can just go up and link arms and start your solo career. You have to be part of the group to be part of the group. That part is not a pleasant feeling.

If you lived there and frequented the place, made it your meeting place as well, you would be part of the group, but, that takes time.

I love that - you have to be part of the group to be part of the group. I'm not really a "joiner", so I get it.

That being said, I'm very comfortable being by myself in a crowd.

As am I, I'm sure you can tell by some of my "other" posts, but, it wasn't like it ruined anything for me, but, I certainly could feel that I was in the way. I made the mistake of accidentally sitting in the wrong place in the aforementioned Tiki Room. And was unceremoniously told to move, not asked politely, told! Not by a CM, but, by one of the group. That was done so they all could sit together on the right hand side of the room. The room is somewhat round, but, as you enter there's a right side and a left side. It just felt like the message was... this is our park... you need to move for us. I didn't really care if they wanted to sit together, what difference would it make to me, however, to be told instead of asked grated on my very last nerve.

You need to take Hubby with you next time. Nobody (other than me, of course) tells him to do anything.

They looked to me to be a giant bunch of arrested development.. not worth the effort. After that happened I started to notice more and more groups wandering about. No others were that rude, but, it was obvious that they considered themselves to have ownership. I should stop wording it like that... Disneyland is a very nice place, it was the place where Walt actually walked the streets and his presence can almost be felt. It's just that experience tainted it just a little.
