I need sleep.

Yeah, that game gets pretty tough, especially with no real controls. I'm still waiting for these supposed iPhone controls to come into the market.

On Facebook today, Halloween, "Putting up my Christmas Tree today!"

^^I hope they don't add the mall for a little bit, and instead, update the Pier and Krustyland instead. I'm dying for a Krustyland update. Also, I'd love the crazy cat lady. That could be a good addition! I had everyone free today in case there was an update, but go the free wailing wall instead.

I see a little Gaga in there as well.

I'm in for another year! I like odd and unique things. Anything weird or totally random is cool for me. I like anything Disney, theme park related, Food of course, Domo, and my shirt size is Large (I miss Medium ) Even random fun things from Dollar Stores can be amazing! -
The Official TPR Update Thread!
jray21 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm a big Disney runner. I've ran a ton of Disney 5k's, 10k's, 1/2 marathons, Full Marathons, Goofy Challenges, and even the most recent Dumbo Double Dare. I've only done about 3 running events outside of Disney. I run because it helps keep me somewhat in shape, and lets me eat a lot more! I love the Disney events because I can reward myself for the long training with a vacation at a Disney Park. I also do like getting the medals…BUT, I totally agree with what Robb posted. I don't wear the medals around the park because I don't need to be congratulated for running a long distance, they remind me of those crazy pin traders that show off their pins, they're really heavy, and most of all, because I didn't win a darn thing. I have them at home in our workout room, and pretty much I'm the only one who sees them. Don't get me wrong, It's a great accomplishment for a lot of people, and could be a great start for them to be healthy, but it's not something that needs to be flaunted. It is very true what Robb says about Disney races, a vast majority of them absolutely use the medals as a way to show how much better they think they are. This past Disneyland 1/2 Marathon weekend, I saw some lady wearing her Goofy medal around the park. There is absolutely no reason to wear a medal from 9 months ago other than to show off that you ran a longer race and you think you're better than everyone. I did see one group that turned their medals into pin lanyards, and thought that at least they had an actual function for it. The required pace for the Disney races does absolutely make it the easiest race there is. A 16 minute per mile pace is about 3.75 mph. The average person under 65 years of age walks about 3.4 mph. I'm not saying you shouldn't run if your that slow, not at all, Disney is an absolutely great place for a first or slower race. I just think it's kind of odd to wear the medal around acting like you won or participated in some very tough to finish events. Also, when it comes to distances, pretty much anyone can run the half. There was one guy I know (Granted, he ran illegally) that found a number on the ground and decided that night to run the race the next morning. He didn't train even one day, didn't have running shoes, and still ran the race within the time requirements. I'm not saying that it isn't hard, but it's not something that only a few special people can actually do. What I do can be done by anyone, and because of that, there's no reason to show off an accomplishment that everyone else can do. I'll absolutely support them 10000%, and help people in anyway they can, but there's no reason to turn around and wear the medal in a way that's arrogant and condescending. I'm definitely in the vast minority of Disney runners, but I don't feel there's a need to show off your medal. Heck, after running the 1/2 marathon, I don't need a medal for people to realize I ran it. The limping and grimacing with each step is more than enough! Well, that's my 2 cents! -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
jray21 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It sounds like King's Dominion did a relatively good job this year. Did the Fast lane Passes help out a lot this year? I know for some parks they are awesome, and others are just so-so. -

It really does look great. The trees and hills add so much to it. -
Hong Kong Disneyland (HKDL) Discussion Thread

Yet another reason to go to Hong Hong Disneyland! I think it's a great addition, and would love to see it brought over to the states. -
I was just thinking, it's almost the season for the greatest movie of all time, Jack Frost (the 1997 murder one)!

My closest parks are all in California, so for me, it's incredibly fast! -

It's a pretty decent looking ride. They really seem to be moving fast on it. -
Another great update! The new springfield area is probably the only thing that will get me to visit USO the next time I'm in the area. I'll also agree that the table side guacamole is better than most coasters.

How do you watch your movies?
jray21 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How many DVDs or Blu-Rays do you purchase each year? About 12-20 Blu-Rays a year, 0 DVDs How many digital downloads do you purchase each year? Zero. We only have digital downloads that are included with the Blu-Rays How do you purchase digital downloads? (iTunes, Stream, etc) If we were to buy one, it would probably be Amazon. They seem to have better prices than iTunes. Do you download directly from iTunes to your device, or iTunes to your computer, and then transfer to your device? Most likely it would be from iTunes to Computer. Is a 1.5gb - 2 gb file "too big" for you to download to your device? No, it shouldn't be. -

I totally forgot about this commercial! Definitely one of the best commercials.
