"It's the wave of the future, the wave of the future. It's the wave of the future; it's the wave of the future, the wave of the future, the future, the future..."
Sometimes I feel as messed up as poor Howard. It mostly happens in bed at night, when I muse about our trip next September, as if it were as important as deciding whether to put zippers or buttons on the seat fabric inside and airplane. Over, and over, and over: which ADR when; which order to tour the parks; which mode of transport is best from any given place. Most of the time, I give up, and end up right around Day 2 mid-afternoon, not having gotten any further than I did the night before. It's like Groundhog Day or something much worse.
I thought I'd sneak in one more update before too much longer; it seems the right thing to do, the right thing to do, to do, to do...
Future World for me, has some cool things in it, but honestly this area of WDW just takes more effort from me to enjoy it. Whereas MK, WS, and AK are "easy" for me to relax in, mostly because of the layout, landscaping, visual and kinesthetic values, it just takes less energy for me to "get it".
Most of you know technology scares the living snot out of me. Not because I CAN'T figure most things out, but it takes so much time and effort for me to do so. Owner manuals, shop talk lingo, I just don't get most of what I hear, so I don't listen.
Having said all that, there are some things I really can and do enjoy in FW. Not because I understand them, but because of their high entertainment value. Seriously, who doesn't love going 65 miles and hour with the top off?? Of seeing 10 pound lemons?? That to me is just nifty!
So, here they are; the TOP 10's for FW done Soldier #1 style:
1) Watch a whole song's worth of Fountain action at the Fountain of Nations. I have one of the tracks on my IPod, and I do declare, it is one of my favorite tunes of all time!
2) Stop and smell the roses, literally, in the rose garden.
3) Ride the Land boats. It is my fantasy garden...
4) Have a chat with Crush. He's my number 1 pal at The Big Tank
5) Ride Soarin' . I'm not making this up, but when it flies over the orange groves, that is literally going over my house where I grew up. I can spot my street!!! How cool is that?!! (That scene is in Hemet, by the way). I had a good friend who had a grove that grew for Sunkist.
6) I can't help it, I live me some Figment- farts and all. I find it hilarious that a purple dragon-like thing lets loose in a Disney attraction. What can I say? He must have eaten at the Cantina on his way home.
7) I'm looking for a particular hidden Donald Duck that I think I may have discovered. I found it on someone else's TR, clear as day, but want to photograph it to confirm before I say more. That by the way, would be at M:S which I will ride in some form- depending on the time of day I can.
8) I don't know why I didn't put this as #1... SSE has got to be the single most awesome thing FW has going for it. I love everything about it, and can't wait to laugh hysterically at the go-go lady.
9) There is a butterfly garden behind the bathrooms near Mousegears. I want to hang out there for a spell and see if I can get a nice shot of one.
10) Something I don't LOVE, but that has become tradition is running into the Jamitors. They're pretty funny, but this trip isn't about loud! If I see them great; at least I can tell the kids I saw them, and can take their picture.
That's it. Oh, yeah, I might have to cruise the giftshops and catch some more silly hat shots. Just for fun.
I could NOT handle that.
So, my entryway, if you were to come visit me, would be graced with 3 loads of clothes hanging on the rack like prayer flags around AK.
