The Magic Kingdom

Can I show this one first? Usually I'd build up to this picture, because it's awesome. Our little daughter, just 2 1/2 years old, was bouncing with excitement for this moment. It was the highlight of the entire park. Mickey and Minnie were perfect for her. Whatever hype may come across about Disney, they really do have something great there.
You know those guys who follow you around and take random pictures of you to get you to buy pictures of your experience? Well, when they captured this shot above, we caved.



Okay, one more time. I couldn't help it. I mean, look at this picture. Look at the expression on her cute little face. My wife captured this shot. So good.

Then, as the nubbins was getting dressed up like a princess... I made a little side trip.
It was great. No prince's privy, but at least a potty fit for a King. Just kidding. It seemed the right way to end that sentence. It was nice. Shiny.

Thanks to all you readers out there. I appreciate you joining me... at least in part. :)

P.S. Here's a little fact for you that is reassuring to anyone tied like me to restrooms: Restrooms at Disneyworld are cleaned every 30 minutes. Pretty great, huh?

Hollywood, A Planet Unto Itself

I'm sure there must be a story behind the name, rather than them just wanting the cool spherical structure. Hollywood really is a world unto itself though, so it really is a funny name. Fitting, and funny.

It was really cool inside though. I was like a kid in a candy sto... wait, that's an overused analogy. I was like a nerd at the Star Trek exhibition (which we also did on this trip... we'll get there). Let me show you what I mean, and at the same time you'll get a glimpse into my own psyche through movie tastes.


It's a sword. I'm a guy. That still excuses me, right? I haven't even seen the movie, but it's a cool sword. I like swords. (Are your nerd meters beeping yet?)


Something from Ben Hur!!! Perhaps a frock of some kind. I don't really know.


The miniature boat from Princess Bride. Inconceivable! (It's like a can't even help but say that. I can be sick to death of saying it, but I still will.)


Babe Ruth's underwear... Kinda weird. You know, I never even wondered where Babe Ruth's underwear was. All this time they've been right there.

One more.

George of the Jungle's necklace. I hear this was the only movie where he's really good looking. That scene with the horses. Funny. I personally prefer the commentary, "Bad guy falls in poop..."

The restrooms... were interesting. I'd better just let you have a look yourselves.


Shark heads. So when you wash your hands it's like you're being eaten by sharks. Fun. And a Good rating. I honestly don't remember much else about the restrooms. I was so distracted by those mirrors.

So the locale was fun. Cool sights. I only posted a pittance of the coolness. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the food at all. I opted for a chicken and avocado sandwich that should have been delicious, but ended up being really dry. Too bad. Funny Babe Ruth.
