. I was hoping they'd change their minds and put ewoks in there...

I will say looking at it so far-I am encouraged about Star Wars Land and what it might look like.

I know this is off topic but you know you know to much Disney stuff when you watch pride and prejudice in English class and notice that one of the actors is Judy Dench and thinking the only other thing I know her from is SSE.

Back to regular programming.

Wait - haven't you ever watched a James Bond movie? She was in the last 8 of them.

Since our last trip - I can only ever think of her as "Stupid Judy" as we started calling her this when we rode SSE immediately after riding Ellen's Energy Adventure.

My 12 year old likes it - we had to ride it TWICE last trip. (If you think it's bad riding it once, imagine the 2nd time!)

Oh I have I just forgot about those movies.

Actually was wondering how you update on here all day while in class.

I update when I can. I have a study hall which is a good time for it, passing time in the halls, after I finish my work, homeroom. All of that with two AP classes which are really the only times of day when I can't update.

I always thought maybe home schooling...Apparently not! You are one busy guy! Good on ya, for doing all that, and keeping up good grades.

Nope, my mom is a stay at home mom but does daycare for a few friends during the day because me and my sisters are all in school. I have maintained a 3.8 GPA or higher throughout all of my high school career.

You think that's a valid excuse?

Back to regular programming.

First, it's Judi.
Second, get thee to a blu-ray player or Netflix account and find these:

James Bond (Goldeneye-->Skyfall)
As Time Goes By
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

 

[Spacedog1975]

The comparisons to small world are kind of silly. Why not compare it to Pirates?
We've always known it was a boat ride and a flying sim. Not like this comes as a surprise.

This is seriously nothing against @rteetz I promise. But I cannot agree with the above enough!!! @Spacedog1975 you might just be my spirit animal lol.

I make the recommendation because I *like* rteetz. Not because I have anything against him .

Also, I would make for an odd, chaotic spirit animal. Proceed at your own risk .

Oh I know, I just didn't want him to think I was picking on him. Totally not.

You know...I read through that and apparently this cough medicine is getting to my head.

It all sounded so "hackish"...that can't be, right?

The "screamscapian" now the parks on hold...stuff.

The whining about upper management...

The Cold War type worn out jokes...
I was waiting for "mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall"

The Spirit's style is, to my eyes, very dated. It's done like a column you might well have read in a newspaper in the 80s. He's also clearly got an agenda and pretty much everything he shares is aimed at that agenda.
