90% of the people in wheelchairs and scooters were not handicapped but simply too fat to walk. And these folks and their families would scoot to the front of the line. Somtin wrong ‘bout that!

We noticed that too.

Oh, and $17 for the cooling squirt bottle w/fan. Riiiiighhtttt....

[wallcrawlr]

what about the gay pride disney weekend

wheres your review of that?

[Maximus of Texas]

"Oh, and $17 for the cooling squirt bottle w/fan" We saw a few selling them for $20! It was hot but not as hot as it is in Texas now so it was a bit of a break for us. Plus cloud cover and quick showers would cool things down.

They want you for the Grand Marshall.

Did you see Milli there?

[EX52D]

Tell me more about that safari ride...ROFL! :)

[Maximus of Texas]

Yes I did but she looked like this

[Maximus of Texas]

It really was embarrassing. My daughter even said something about it (not the Big O part but just that she was weird)

[pissant]

I guess I shoulda pinged her. She'd be impressed with your beer goggles.

Universal's Islands of Adventure (not the Universal "Studios" Park) is much more fun for older kids and adults. Newer rides, better roller coasters (beer is easy to find) and the City Walk shops, restaurants and theatres just outside the entrance offer a lot to do.

There are areas for little kids - cartoon world, the cat in the hat, but it's not a park solely for the little ones, so if you're going to Orlando for a few days, try a park outside the Mouse's realm as well.

[Millee]

Sheeesh. Something I said?

[pissant]

That's me allright!

Is there a hotel within walking distance? If beer is that easy to get , i don't want to drive. It would be nice to let my guys run wild and have a few.

[pissant]

Cmon now, I just though Milli was short for Millificent. ;o)

[Maximus of Texas]

Yeah, I heard that there is a ton of stuff to do outside of WDW as well. One thing I like about WDW coasters is that, overall, they were pretty tame, which helps at my age, but also edgy enough to hold the attention of older kids.

[Sax]

Yep, Universal's got a hotel on premises, but South Orlando/Kissimmee is so choked with hotels, you could catch a shuttle or cab, and pick another one that suits your tastes.

Glad you are back, safe and sound.

Vacations are hard work. : )
