I finally got my Disney Vacation! It was only one day. I ended up with blisters on my feet. My legs felt like they were about to fall off, but it was a good trip. A trip I seriously needed, but as with my life it wasn't the picture perfect trip I wanted, but it was the best trip I've ever could have had if I were with my family. This is the dramatization of Dec. 29, 2009. As someone told me on the trip "All you do is complain"
so why not prove him right...
Before I even get to the actually trip part, there was some stuff before we even got in the car. This trip was only supposed to be with me on only one person. It sounds like a dick move but hear me out. I had four tickets that I have been saving for a year. If I only had me and another person I would still have tickets I could have used for my sisters Birthday that's in Feb. I had my whole trip planned out with this guy. We had our day from work requested off and all I needed to do was reserve the hotel. Then I had to put my fucking foot in my mouth and say I was going to Disney to another friend, in which he leached himself onto the trip. I REALLY didn't want three people to go on the trip.
Having an odd party in Disney isn't fun. Someone is ALWAYS going to be left out and I wasn't going to be the fucking third wheel on my vacation! Also this person has gone to Disney way to many times this year. I have called him/ him call me several times this year to only find out/ him tell me he was in Disney for the weekend. When I confronted him about it he just brushed it aside saying it wasn't true. The fucked up thing was when I brought it up DURING the trip he was like Yeah so what! I could have used those damn tickets for my family in Feb, but since I don't like to be an asshole I let him come. Then I had to go find a forth person. Poof 4 tickets gone!
I hate that I need to say this on my own blog but here I go. This is a site I've been writing for about two years now. Some people who may know me in real life are probably in this blog. Good or bad they make it here one way or another. Just because you know this blog exists doesn't mean you're not going to be mentioned in a good or bad way. If you find something here that's going to hurt your feelings, I don't care because this is my way of venting. Shit gets posted then I put it behind me, no more thinking about it. I may not ever tell you that but that's who I am. If you don't like it, here's a Torch and there's the bridge. Have at it.
Back to my trip. The drive to Orlando was my favorite part about the trip. There was no arguing, no stupid tiffs just some good old fashioned bullshitting. I plugged in my Zune, and we listened to music the whole time. Talked about random crap. It was perfect. Actually the whole trip was pretty awesome. Even though there were points where it stunk, the crappyness would end in something positive.
After we got out of the park, we walked towards to a tram that would pick us up and drive us to the entrance to the park. We had to wait three times to get on the damn tram. The first time it was fine because a small group was in front of us and when we tried to get on we all didn't fit. The second time we tried was when it got ridiculous. Some stupid bitch threw her kid in front of us so her family could get on the tram. She literally THREW her kid in front of us! I'm not over exaggerating.
The next little hiccup came when the group wanted to eat "breakfast". They don't like breakfast food so I bring them to the hotdog shop near Main Street USA. All I hear from one person is how much the food cost. SERIOUSLY! You live in Florida, you're not a stupid tourist ( sorry tourists ) but you know full well all food in theme parks are expensive. I'm guessing this person was cranky because he hadn't eaten, which is understandable but that really got me in a funk. We've only been in the park for half an hour and there was complaining already. I suggest he gets the corn dog nuggets and bitching continues as he orders his nuggets. After the damn order he says how much he liked them... But I don't get the credit for suggesting it to him. My manager gets it for telling me about them. Whatever no big deal.
When we were eating our food they had one of the shows in front of Cinderella Castle going on. I told one of my friends, the one that hasn't been to Disney since he was 6ish, the show had the characters actually moved their mouths when they talk. He gave the biggest gasp. He made us relocate from where we were to get a better view of the show. He was mesmerized by the whole thing. When fireworks shot out of the stage there was another squeal of excitement. It was pretty funny to see him watch the show. It was like seeing a child believing everything he was seeing. And that's why I love Disney!
Then we jumped ship into Adventure Land and grabbed some Fast Pass tickets for Jungle Cruise and got in the line for Pirates of the Caribbean. The problem with lines is that people tend to go single file line when they get into one. In WDW depending on the ride, Castmembers will tell Guests to fill in ALL the empty space because it speeds up the line. And NO ONE ever listens, so my group would just fill in the space. Someone would say it's cutting but we were just being told what to do. I'm not going to wait in a line any longer then I need to be because people won't fill in the line. What I do find as cutting when when a Castmember forgets to rope off a passage way and some certain people in a certain group try to use it to actually cut people in the line. We were deep enough into the line were people had gotten there shit together and were packed like sardines. When I try to tell these people that they were trying to cut, they called me a hypocrite because we "cut all those people when we were "filling" in the line." (If I'm in the wrong Please let me know! Because I think filling in hole is fine.) Also when you're in the back of the line of your group you're going to follow them. If I decided to stay they would have just left me, or bitched about me not wanting to fill in the gap. How do I win. Something funny that did happen in the line was when someone made a joke to another about him showing himself to the line so they would move away and we could get on the ride faster. Some prissy lady decided to tell us off and say we had to wait in line like everybody else. Come on lady get your finger out of your ass, it was a joke. Please...
Another one of my favorite parts of the trip was when we actually got onto the Jungle Cruise. The ride doesn't take it self seriusly at all, which is what makes it beautiful. It's campy and depending on your skipper you'll have a great time or a bad one. We had a female skipper and her timing was perfect. I was laughing the whole time. When we got off the ride however, I had to hear for about half an hour on how hot she was, and that when she got off the clock they were going to find her... Smelled like a good ol' fashioned date rape in the making. I don't know who was joking or if they were serious but it got kinda annoying after a while. Then they of course had to ask my opinion of her. I couldn't deny she was pretty but come on I didn't go on this vacation to talk about vagina.
That was something that kinda got to me. I am one to take A LOT and I mean A LOT of gay jokes, mostly because I start them but when someone takes advantage of that I'm kinda left out of the joke and get laughed at instead of be apart of the joke. When we were in Phantasy Land, they had a show were they thought you how to do the Ho Down Throw Down, by Hannah Montana. There was a little boy dancing and a friend commented "There's another queer in the making!"... Why did he have to bring this random kid into a hurtful comment. I had to say something right. What was I to say? All I could do was say he was already gay or something like that. I felt dirty saying it. I was trying to defend this poor kid. And the friends response to mine was "Well he doesn't know it yet." This person has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth that makes him sound very dumb. I'm not saying I'm perfect but there are sometimes where you need to keep your mouth shut.

Back on track Alan!
Ok, so later on my park adventure with my friends, my head decides it's the perfect time to get a headache. I felt it coming on and the only way to get rid of it was to find a place to sleep. In other words I was stuck with this headache unless we went to the hotel. I felt horrible telling the guys I needed to get to the hotel. It may have sucked for me but they didn't need to lose park time because of my headache. I hope I didn't annoy them. Even though it wasn't my fault... When we were waiting for the tram to drive us to the car there was this annoying little girl who wouldn't stop crying. I had to deal with that devil kids screaming and the sun in my face as I wait. We were to busy trying to fend of the babies being thrown in front of us we forgot to see which parking lot we were in. So, the genius's we are we get off to early and I have to walk to the car with my headache. It was better to get off early then late, but with my head hurting the way it was I become Super Sarcasm Man. If someone says something I think is stupid I'll let you know in the most blunt way, you could only respond with a defensive comment. I'm sorry for that guys! :3 can you forgive me! When we finally find our car in the vast sea of metal we drove our tired selves to the Hotel where instead of just me taking a nice hour nap, everyone took a well deserved nap. True, I woke up with a headache still, but all I could do was hope it went away. (PS It did.)
Since everybody took an hour nap I didn't feel as bad about getting my headache so I was in the clear! We ended up going to Hollywood Studios. Instead of taking the car we took the bus. We headed towards Rocking Rollercoaster which had an 100 minute wait. The park was going to close at 10PM and it was 8PM. MY friend that hadn't been to Disney since he was 6 didn't really want to ride this ride, because he doesn't like Aerosmith. So, me and another guy in our group try to convince the friend who REALLY likes this ride to ride Toy Story Mania instead. He looked peeved that we didn't want to ride this ride. I personally don't really care for this ride. It's a boring Rollercoaster, I much prefer Space Mountain.
When we were trying to get to Toy Story Mania I made us go in the wrong direction. Whoops! We ended up in Hollywood Studios recreation of New York City. If someone were to kidnap you and leave you here you would seriously believe you're in New York. What made this mess up turn into something that the friend that hasn't been at Disney since he was 6 say this was his favorite part, was that the entire New York recreation was COVERED and I mean COVERED with lights. Every space, nook and cranny was flooded with X-mas lights. We spent about half an hour looking at all the lights. When walking around I noticed something in the sky, so I look up to find snow falling from the sky! OH MAH GAWD! It wasn't really snow, it was soap suds but it was soo cool! All the sudden the lights turn off. I'm thinking they're turning them off because the park is going to close soon and as we walk out of New York when the lights start to glow and I hear the music to the Trans Siberian Orchestra play. The video that I have posted doesn't do it justice, it's something you have to see for yourself. Just another thing to add to your bucket list!
