Exactly the same here.Ugh, I know. It hit us on November 1 - went from 13C for the daytime high to -12C. Today was the first day that I got up the nerve to get back out there, we have not acclimatized well this year!
Got the PM! Replied!
What day are you arriving?? Would love to be able to say hi!!So, sending you a PM. Kelly and I have a plan, and though you might be able to join.... see you on the other side...
Over and out...
Sending you a PM!What day are you arriving?? Would love to be able to say hi!!
HEY! Since I leave in 2 days for my trip.... still find it hilarious you arrive the day I leave! What are the odds??!!
Anyways, I just want to make sure if I miss the next update I will still have time to comment after I return home Wednesday next week??
I mean, I feel like I will have ample time since you'll be gone too, but just making sure.
Hope you have a wonderful trip!
And I definitely won't post
after I leave.
Nope! That's it!Hopefully you just mean you won't post "while you're at Disney World."
I’m leaving Tuesday.So when do you leave? Are you saying we'll be going weeks before we see an update?
The suspense is killing me!
Adios - have a great time.See you when I get back from Disney!!!

Ahh, speaking my language. I am fabulous at making short stories long.This is not the first time
one of my "shortcuts"
has resulted in a "longcut".
WHAT!??!? Blasphemy!The theming here, as in all of HPL
is really top notch.
On par with Disney.
(Gasp!)
Why was it so laughable?!Revenge of the Mummy was next.
We rode that and laughed our heads off.
Fun ride!
Sure do...If you remember the old DHS tour,
Uh oh... this little green face bears a striking resemblance to... well, me. Sounds like a double dose of motion sickness meds for me on that one!This time there were no interruptions.
Much better!
Enjoyed the ride and it made more sense now.
I did, however, feel a bit queasy on it.
So if you're prone to motion sickness.
You've been warned.
Well there's a song... The whole universe was in a hot dense state...Without Googling,
can you tell me what the title
has to do with Universal?
(I don't care if you get it right or not,
just if you had to Google or got it.)
Starbucks???What kind of breakfast place doesn't
have orange juice???
I will say yes. Not that life revolves around those 2 things, but lets reason it out. I, for one, think sliced bread is overrated. You can eat bread that isn't sliced. You can still break it and make a sandwich. Or you can still use a knife and slice your own bread. So really, is it that spectacular of an invention?Would the invention of the internet
qualify as better than sliced bread?
What about cell phones?
Harry Potter land.
That's what it's called.
Of course now that I've explained that,
it would've been much shorter
just to type it out in the first place.
Got it! And I got the pass too. At Orlando anyway.Well... we did, but they aren't unlimited.
The pass allows you access to the front
of the line once for each ride.
So if you want to ride something twice,
then you have to stand in line at least once.
Capiche?
That actually looks rather tame...So... here's a photo of the pandemonium
inside that area...
I've always complained about those stupid screens ruining their rides for me. I'm glad they've finally started to listen!!!Well... it was a bit of a disappointment
for at least another 15-20 seconds.
Which doesn't sound like a lot,
but when the ride is only 4 minutes long
to begin with...
But... a ride that moves with
no visual accompaniment is....
Boring.
I'm honestly surprised that they didn't give you a pass or a re-ride when you got off since it was mired with technological issues. Did anyone say anything to a TM? Did they even know there was a problem with it?The ride was good, but I never re-captured
that feeling of awe and delight.
I was very glad we still had
our "fast pass" for this ride.
A do-over was definitely in order.
I'd say they're pretty close in intensity, although I'd actually give Barnstormer the theming nod because it continues the theming all the way through the queue and the ride.Nowhere near as good as, well...
every coaster Disney has.
(With the possible exception of
Barnstormer, since I've never ridden it.)
I don't get it...Coincidentally, that ride was the longest
we stood in line all day.
Yes, the frozen one is the
better of the two.
I like it! I was excited for that ride and just felt a little bit disappointed in it. I think for one thing it really mirrors Spiderman too closely, but I think you really explained it with that last line.We then rode Transformers.
Pretty good ride,
if a little frantic.
It almost felt like they were
trying too hard?
I knew it!After the show, we weren't allowed to leave.
Well... I wasn't allowed to.
Not until Kay got to pet
some of the stars of the show.
And here I am still bummed that we lost this ride in Orlando for Diagon Alley.So... realistic!
We were lucky to get out of there alive.
Truly, truly frightening.
I mean... how bad can your special effects be?
Scary.
Looks like a great attraction! How long did it last?The tour was good,
I'd do it again.
Especially, just to experience
King Kong again.
I hear ya. I know we've shared bad back stories several times. Threw mine out yesterday. Bet you can't guess what I was doing when it happened.Frankly, I didn't want to do it
from a wheelchair on account
of throwing out my back.
I'm sure it is the same on that is in Orlando. And frankly, it needed some work probably 10 years ago.She is (or was) a huge Shrek fan.
So she sort of kept this one for last.
And...
It was pretty disappointing.
See!!!! It's those damn screen sequences on the broom! They were trying to help you out on that first ride by skipping that part!I did, however, feel a bit queasy on it.
I'm going with the "or not." If it was really, really good, you'd remember it.I know we each got... something.
And that's all I can remember.
But it was really, really good!
Or not!
Who knows?
One of them is from Mel's which means they're clearly there to scout the competition.We came across a tragic scene.
These two cooks were locked
out of their restaurant.
The patrons inside all died of starvation.
Tragic.
Come up with your own story
about that photo.
Bonus points if you do.
I wouldn't know. I specifically did all I could to avoid it.I'm sure LA rush hour traffic
isn't as bad as I've been told.
People exaggerate, you know??

No worries!
Life. It happens!
Really? Why?
Because there's so few of them?
Okay... no more.
Well.... maybe one.
Sounds like the voice of
experience talking, there.
So I'd fit right in, then?
