Who knew that John Denver could act?
Well, no one did or does, but still…
I knew this would happen.
I knew it.
Then why’d you allow it?
You watch a scary movie
and suddenly the bad guy
jumps out from behind the door!
The thumping sounds you hear
are people keeling over from
heart attacks.
Jaws…
The head in the sunken boat…
Viewed on the big screen…
I was 13…
<<shudder>>
Six a.m.
Time to get up.
Stupid alarm.
Beats three a.m.
(Oh, and everyone else but me has
to wait until... hmm... three p.m.
before they show up.
Well, my friends can be there too.
And people who pay moi for the privilege.
Seems fair.)
Howard Hughes would agree.
Why? Because I felt like it.
So... pppbbbtttt.
It’s nice when we reach the age where we can act whatever age we want.
I got myself up and at 'em
And “‘em” ran away in horror…
(I was going to say I went both ways,
but why stoke the flames.)
We know better…
The tabloids would have outed you by now.
Wait time: 0 minutes.
As it should be.
What universe do you live in?
It certainly ain’t the same one I’ve been condemned to.
(and as for whatever it was I did in my last life to deserve this condemnation, I sure hope I at least had way more fun doing it then can possibly be allowed)
I suspect that are times when folk might debate that assertion.
I wondered if they were doing it because
a. It was early and there were fewer guests
so might as well search everyone…
That was my experience.
there was exactly one Disney
guest walking that path that morning.
And they didn't know I was behind them.
Why would they?
No one would go that way, right???
Well apparently two people do.
(I mean, really. How can you not love someone
who has their own grotto, for Pete's sake!)
Hugh Heffner, Mad King Ludwig, most Bond Villains…
Yep, that’s some good company.
I told the Mom and son to go ahead.
One person ahead of me wasn't going to
change my day, but it might, theirs.
It does constitute a couple points toward
actually being “just that loveable“.
I rushed over and asked if she remembered me.
"Ariel it's me! Remember me from last year?"
She did! She said she remembered me!
Might wan’na do a bit of a comparison on your pictures…
I do believe someone here is telling a story.
Well...
Maybe it wasn't quite as wonderful for her.
When I went to sweep her
up into my arms, well...
Another shot of mysterious, inexorable, official justice.
Not from your readers point of view (and possibly Ruby’s).
Step three. And this is crucial.
Hope for the best.
I’ve been living in “Step-3 World” for several weeks now.
I expect to be here for quite a while yet.
I'm not normally a character fan,
but this girl went above and beyond.
It was really nice of her
and I appreciated it.
Good story…
Excellent outcome.
Ya’ done good.
Fish lie you know.
Go ahead and see for yourselves.
The next time you're talking with a fish,
ask them anything.
They'll never tell you the truth.
you’re not asking in the precise language.
Dialect is key…
Just ask Dory.
OMG! What is she doing to those little people!
SHE'S EATING THEM!
Law of the jungle… errr…. I mean…. Ocean.
You can see it in her eyes.
I know it looks like pure terror,
but I'm sure it's not.
Should trust your first instincts, there.
I don’t know, did Ariel get ahold of him?
Hey! You! Know where I can find a mermaid?
Yeah, they seem to hang around a TR being written by this bloke named Pkondz…
Hey! Dude! This is Florida!
If you wanna smoke that stuff,
you have to move to California!
Not any more…
Transforming mermaid's #1 worry?
That the swirling water covers the naughty bits.
Certainly Disney’s #1 worry.
After being rejected by Ariel...
Again.
And again.
And again.....
Which qualifies under Einstein’s definition of insanity…
Well, BTMRR is out.
Down for refurb.
The only sad part of our time down there as well.
I'm a good person.
(When I'm not being absolutely horrid.)
Pretty sure that describes us all…
Saying hello to someone is one thing,
but... "Hi Ho"??? Really?
This is a family park, Disney.
Does that imply that you’re one of the Johns?
Wait.... Maybe they weren't saying hello.
Maybe they making a comment on her stature?
Or was it more a comment on said Ho’s level of chemical intoxication?
So maybe....
Do you think?
Is Snow White the hi ho????
It would explain so much.
Even more so if you looked at it the way I was suggesting.
Sorry. Got sidetracked there.
Where was I?
Searching for High Ho’s
I finally gave up and shot an HDR photo
Something I’ve not yet tried to do.
But I’ve still much to experiment with and learn about photography.
I was starting to feel a bit peckish,
so I personally pecked a passing person.
Adhering to the Hen House Rules I see…
I can't remember when I last ate.
And I'm not going to go back
to the previous day/chapter to check!
Don’t blame you…
Who’d be foolish enough to do something that loony?
they disappeared.
Just like...
Hmmmm.... something.
Can't think of anything
that disappears.
A fart in the wind…
Sashay, sashay, sashay,
Keep them sore feet movin', raw feet!
Through rain an' wind an' weather
Hell bent for Dole Whips,
Wishing Ariel was by my side…
I switched the FP to HM instead.
Why?
Why not?
After having recently stated that you “never” fast-pass HM…
I’m assuming that you did it here just to increase our trust in your narrative.
So yeah... she was a good skipper.
And a good skipper totally
makes or breaks this ride.
That, they do.
(dark meat, light meat, dark meat, light meat....)
“Tail!”
Five pole dancers
and a horny animal.
Now, that one I’ve not heard.
But I like it.
The front side of water!!!!
Wait. That's not how that joke goes...
And Dr. Albert Falls will attest to that.
Eventually the head shrinker
came into view.
I tried to get a decent shot,
but sometimes...
Recorded for both posterity and ignominy
You're still reading?????
Good grief!
I guess I have to keep yapping then.
It’s a chicken-n-egg kind’a thing, ya’ know.
I checked in at the kiosk
and was given a yellow plastic rose.
I rightly assumed it was because
the girl at the kiosk fell madly
in love with me.
Not if it was yellow…
More likely she was offering condolences and a wish that you get well soon.
Just park it somewhere
out of the way and don't
bother us.
I wonder what percentage of the CMs secretly wish that they could say that to a guest, just once?
"Salut! ça vas aujourd'hui?"*
*translation:
I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.
Only in those French phrase books edited by Steven Wright.
(You did the hands thing right?
Bonus points if you did.)
It is with much shame that I hang my head and admit…
Yes… yes I did (and before I read this sentence).
I parked myself at one of
the convenient small tables
that are located no more
than 30 steps apart.
Everyone else refers to those as Garbage Cans
I liked his costume.
Clever.
He was wearing a T-shirt that said:
"This is my costume"
Saw a few of those when we were there.
We went the T-shirt route as well.
But chose a couple of awful Dad jokes with a not so obvious Disney connection…
Monorail, 6min, another park, Epcot, No, 25min, CM, 11:30
Bonus: Just a little thought, did you see it?
Sure you saw it.
You saw it, right?
You talking about the Treasury department or the jungle marquee?
(or was there another one that I couldn’t distinguish on my dilapidated monitor?)
- Turns out there was another one that I couldn't see until I got home...
You gott'a feel for ol' Flounder; just no privacy to be found.
