Castles

The United States as a whole needs more castles. Not necessarily real castles, just buildings that look like castles.

The Florida Road Trip (2024 Edition) is about 49.5 hours away.

Golf Ball

Do people still call this The Golf Ball? Is that just me?

Animal Kingdom

The last time we went to Animal Kingdom it was really cold out and Jen and I had to buy heavy sweatshirts because we weren’t prepared for the low temps. The last time we went to Disney we had no plans to return to Animal Kingdom. On the next trip? A few weeks from now? Will it be warm enough for Kali River Rapids? Will we go early enough for the Safari? Will we blow off the park and spend an extra day in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios?

Stay tuned and find out.

Going Back

We are heading back to Disney World in a few weeks. I want to go now. I don’t want to wait.

I bought plenty of film but I haven’t decided if I am taking my camera or my dad’s. It might take my dad’s this time. I’m a little afraid I’ll drop it and break it though.

Can we just go today? I want to ride The People Mover.

Hollywood

I think that when we go to Hollywood Studios at the end of the month I am going to go on the Tower of Terror for the first time.

After we do Rise of the Resistance and Smugglers Run and Toy Story Mania and Mickey and Mini’s Runaway Railroad. Obviously.

Back to Disney World

We are going back to Disney World next month. It’s time to start planning for my film photography needs. I was just on ebay looking for inexpensive medium format cameras… and I am going to stick with the 35mm cameras I have. Yeah… oh well.

Epcot

From the one day at Disney World that we actually had before Covid ruined the rest of the trip.

Just Days Away

Our return to Disney World is just days away. Sure, I was hoping our next trip would be to California and Disneyland rather than Disney World, but I’ll take what I can get with a huge smile on my ugly ass face.

A Couple of Weeks Away

We are still a couple of weeks away from heading back to Disney World. Can we go today instead? I should order a few rolls of film while I still have time.
