As some of you know already, after a whirlwind seven year courtship, my girlfriend and I finally become old and boring
The perks of getting married included
Delicious cake
And getting to go to Disney World
Tomorrow we'll be taking a flight, first to Cleveland for her brother's wedding and then Sunday we're going the rest of the way to spend a week in Orlando.
We're both really excited, she's never been on vacation and I went to Orlando when I was eight and haven't even been to Disneyland in ten years. I wanted to stay at the Polynesian Resort because I'm a sucker for faux tropical decor and exotica music but since it's the most expensive resort to stay at and we wanted to stay more than three days, we'll be staying here
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Which will be pretty awesome since we paid extra to get those Savanna side rooms
So there's a chance giraffes will come right up to our window
I got a lot of preparation to do right now but I'll try to update with our own photos soon

Also, there are plans being made for a long weekend in Disneyworld. We did Land a month or so ago and it was kinda lame compared to World.
long slender necks
ohh yeahhhh
WE SHOULD GO OUT TO EAT OR SOMETHING
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
Might try to hit Universal at some point though, because it has decent rides compared to Disneyworld which is more about attractions.
I want to go to Disney World sometime
and I need to go to disneyland sometime, I haven't been in like a decade
Drew Carey lied to me
It would be like Cheers, everyone would know my name.

People who say the magic of Disney Land/World has worn off them are the saddest people.
Animal Kingdom is a lot of fun
also be sure to gouge yourself on sausages and big mugs of beer at the german pavilion at epcot
Also Magic Kingdom has the best turkey legs.

This is as good of a place as any- I need Honeymoon advice. We are getting hitched in December... the week before Christmas. Where should we Go?!? I have never been to any of the Disney theme parks, but I imagine they might be out of season in December?
We also can't really afford to leave the country due to both money and time constraints.
I'm thinking Vegas- suggestions?

and congrats Buster! have fun at the happiest place on Earth
COUPLE CAUGHT AT DISNEY SEE PICS INSIDE!
Most of them used to work for the Mouse.
Better than Hershey.
Of course the person I split it with was actually a boss much like myself so we demolished the whole thing, but that's digression.
also, about animal kingdom - it's going to be balls-hot and there isn't a lot of shade in some parts of the park. the solution is to keep going on kali river rapids - you will get very wet :winky:
we went twice, and the boat keeps spinning around. despite the fact that my friend sat in a different place the second time, both times he and he alone got blasted in the face with water from an elephant.
Then there was the s'mores cup.
Gorge.
Unless you're into that sort of thing.
Alas, there was no s'mores cup.
:P
also, the barmaid population at that pavilion is evenly divided between homely women in their 50's and very busty blondes in their 20's.
I was in Vegas 2 weekends ago and we had a blast. Keep it to 4 days max, though. By day 5 all anyone wanted was home or death.
Also bring money.
I would say the REAL fun if you're not a big gambler is Universal/Disney in Orlando. We went first weekend in December 2005 and that might have been the most fun we've ever had on a trip. People from that part of the US think it's fucking freezing if the temp dips below 60 so we had the parks to ourselves. I went on the spider-man ride in IoA then got off and walked right back on, no line.
Better than Hershey
There's a Ghiradelli Ice Cream Parlor at Disney Downtown
You best believe we're gonna hit that
And by that I mean have sexual relations with the double chocolate ice cream in a chocolate dipped waffle cone with hot fudge on top

Except the Asian ones. They were all midgets.
if you plan on eating at MGM (or i guess it's called Hollywood Studios now), make reservations
Knowing that Disney is open in the winter is a good thing to know. This might also be a plan.

Yeah, shit I've been trying to get reservations for the Sci-Fi Dine-In for like a month now
I think we're just going to have to wait until the day before

I hear Busch Garden's has free beer actually.
Yeah, but there's a Six Flags like 30 minutes from me.
Yeah, I'm getting married in... 3 weeks from Saturday o_O
Anyways there's not much point to vacationing from Winnipeg in the Summer, so we're going to wait until probably around the beginning of December, before the holidays start and go down to Orlando and do the parks again.
