I am back from a weekend of hell. Im only writing this because I survived-how I dont know. I have been with daughters at Disney World since Friday and I am EXHAUSTED. I dont know if that word is even strong enough to describe this. I walked-no, let me rephrase that-I was dragged at least 3000 miles over the last 3 days. To top it off I came home with a touch of the funk and my nose will NOT stop running. Right now I am stuck somewhere between misery and death. I do NOT wanna hear anymore damn Disney songs. If I hear Its a small world one more time I am going to kill someone...possibly literally. You know, that damn castle is only impressive for the first couple hours then its like "look kids-Cinderella castle..ready to go home??????" I do believe I walked every inch of that property, maybe several times. I thank God every minute that I survived this ordeal....

That's why I've NEVER been near Disney in my life! I think I'm the only human being walking the planet who has NEVER actually had any desire to go to Disney! I hope Mickey eats a piece of tainted cheese :shock:

DISNEY ROCKS!! but not when its raining and for three days... man you need at least 6 days there... I am 46 and when i am at the magic kingdom i feel like iam 12 again.
;-) No kids here just me and the wife..... its just blast. favorite rides are the pirates of the caribbean and haunted mansion---the indoor roller coaster. whats the name again. Best time to go is in the fall!!
This time of year its way to crowded---worst part of disney is the strollers everywhere!!! UGH!

I haven't been to the Magic Kingdom in probably 10 years. Went to Animal Kingdom a couple weeks ago, on a Monday, and it was very crowded.

Space Mountain. That's the best thing about Magic Kingdom...at least for adults. :lol:

That Mummy ride is beyond words. I rode Everest, loved it also, although compared to the Hulk, Kraken, and the new one at Busch Gardens that I cant remember the name its a milder ride. What do you think about the enhancements to the Haunted Mansion?? I loved em!!

LMAO.. wuss. :P
Actually I love Disney but it seems like no matter how much time you give in a day to go, it's never enough time. I plan on going again in a few months. I can handle the walking better than I can the billions of tourists. :x
