O.K I just cranked up some classic LIVE Journey!

can you hear it? Does it make everyone feel a little better? :grouphug:

That helps a little. What song?

I just bought 4 bras online at Lane Bryant with a coupon and giftcard. They had buy 2 get 2 free.

Now THIS cheers me up. ::yes:: :hyper:

Anyhow, would it be odd for two mid-30s folks to be running around in costume? Is there stuff there that we'd both enjoy (shows, silliness, oddball pictures)? Should we borrow one of Buzz's kids when we go just to look more 'normal'? DFi wants to know how the candy stock turns out too. Is it the good stuff and will he have enough to enter a sugar delirium? Oh, and for the accountant in him, is the cost of the hard ticket worth it?

I've already tried to justify the cost to him with, "Honey, if we get enough candy, it'll pay for itself! We can always hand out the stuff we don't want!"

From what I hear, you guys will love it! Go for it. You'll probably have the time of your lives! :banana:
 

Hey guys,
The higher ups are askng me to do my job. I posted this link in the thread yesterday,


With the new server switching over tonite, they want us to let threads know, that threads with pages over 100 are going to be a little troublesome. So with a new year coming, maybe the thread can stay on-topic. As I said in the link, off topic conversations can be done over on the Family Board, Community Board, Compassionate Board, etc.

Buzz, don't worry, Blue will be back.

No problem chief. We'll be good. :thumbsup2
 
No problem. I got it down- Earl of Sandwich and Ultimate Margarita, sit by the lagoon spot. :cool1:

Earl of Sandwich is actually EXTRA good when coupled with the view of the lake plus the sweet nectar of the Ultimate Margarita. :thumbsup2

Do you know which sandwhich you're going to order yet? My favorite is the Original. Roast Beef with Horsey Sauce! Mmmmm guuuud.

Okay, I have to work on my next segment. Gotta get 'er done prior to the weekend.
 
I'm so sore from playing tennis on my kids new wii, I can hardly type!

Buzz, where's the update????
 
~The Man Report ~ ~ Hammering Zurgs & Duct Taped Lasers ~



My victory at Buzz Lightyear was a foregone conclusion. :snooty: With LG on board, I could control the car with my left hand whilst accurately gunning down “Z” targets with my right.

Hammering targets of the Zurg invaders would be my chief priority. Entertaining the Girl would come a distant second. :rolleyes1

When you ride with MB, you have to let HIM control the car. Either not interested in the gun or clueless about the concept, he simply likes to spin the car back and forth not allowing you to correctly aim at anything in particular. He doesn’t even man his blaster! A score of 30k or higher would be considered exceptional when one is riding “shotgun” with MB. :headache:

Lucky for me, the girl has historically chosen me as her riding partner. Not just on Buzz, but on basically everything. The only exceptions to this rule have usually come right after I’ve scolded her. To “teach me a lesson”, she’ll then ride with mom once or twice before returning to her “daddy”. :hug:

One of the issues I have with this attraction is the laser sighting technology. I simply cannot distinguish my laser “dot” from anyone else’s and therefore am not sure if I’m actually hitting what I’m aiming at.

What I’ve learned to do is use peripheral vision on my scoring counter and if I see points being added to the counter, I assume it’s actually my “dot” on the target and not the fourteen year old sharpshooter in the car in front of me.

Here’s the plan for next year. :smoking: I will bring two laser presentation pointers with me that shoot a bright blue laser dot. I will duct tape them to either side of my blaster gun. When Aiming, I will have the two large blue dots on either side of my regular laser and will therefore be able to shoot with pinpoint accuracy. This plan is foolproof. ::yes::

On this trip, however, I’m left with only the Disney Class II Light/Laser to strike the various targets. :sad2:

As expected, I’m the glorious victor of our shooting rampage.

Buzz – 220,900 Planetary Pilot

LG – 12,500 Space Scout

LtP – 3,400 Space Cadet (makes sense)

MB – 0 My special little guy :hug:


My victory & subsequent gloating is met with damp enthusiasm from my crew. They just don’t appreciate my sharp-shooting prowess. :sad2:

Upon exiting the attraction, we are of course sucked into the photo area to view our pictures.

As usual, the picture shows me hunched over my cannon, aiming furiously and looking very intent. Sitting next to me, LG’s head is beside her canon, not being tall enough to view over the top and thus handicapping her ability to score points (but not enough to lose to mom :duck: ).

The next photo shows LtP with a determined look on her face as she aims at only “God knows what”, but missing most everything. Finally, sitting next to LtP is MB. He’s got one hand on the controls to the car and the other straight up in the air as his canon lies useless & limp to one side. :confused3 His face is jubilant as he enjoys either the loud noises, moving robots, or flashes from the photography. Who cares? He’s happy! :hug:

I feel a slight “gurgle” in my tummy and announce to the clan that it’s lunchtime. This is MB’s queue to jump joyfully knowing that after lunch we’ll probably head back to the hotel to swim.

We exit the Buzz facility, take a left, and head straight over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café. Where they got the name is anybody’s guess, but they’ve got two things my family craves…

1. Meat! …and lot’s of it! Bring on the pork ribs and rotisserie chicken & hold the green beans!!! :banana:

2. An excellent commode facility with an unknown secret exit! :scared:

Next Up: Bursting of the Damn!

To the Victor, belong the Spoils pirate:

The girls decide to gang up on MB and give him the “tickle torture”. You can tell he just hates it.

Too fat to squeeze in between the bars with Zurg, I just stick a shoulder in.

My expert photography of the castle.
 
Laser Idea sounds good, go for it.


Make sure that you have a handicap person right behind you so that you can take more time tapping your laser pens to the side of the gun.

Exactly! :thumbsup2

we rode buzz 3 times last May. Every time I went with a kid, and ever time they insisted on "driving". I think Linnie crushed my highest score. :blush:
