^ Exactly. Her course of action has worked wonders for many music stars of the past: Hendrix - Clean and sober for 41+ years. Jim Morrison - almost 41 years. Kurt Cobain - almost 18 years. Bradley Nowell - 15+ years. Amy Winehouse - 6+ months strong. Stick it out, Whitney. This time I think you'll beat that pesky addiction!

Haha, yes, they do. Thanks for the update, Adam.

I'm married, without kids, AND I have experience visiting the parks with kids. I also have experience growing up at WDW AS A KID. With that said, it amazes me that people are so bent out of shape over rules being enforced. I'll echo Wes' sentiment. Is vacationing with children really that much of a burden to your own happiness and enjoyment? As I mentioned, I've visited WDW countless times over the last 37 years. Prior to FastPass being introduced, this may come as a shock, but people back then were actually required to use the stand-by line for any attraction they wished to experience. I know, mindblowing, right? But here's the interesting part, we still tried to plan our day much the same way families do today. In fact, trying to plan our visit was half the fun! But wait, it gets even more mindblowing. Back then (as far back as 1 park, 2 deluxe hotels), our parents would actually parent us. They'd tell my brother and I, "okay, guys, you know it's probably gonna be a little busy, so we may not be able to do everything you want. You understand that, right?" They'd then go on to tell us to make a list, in order, of the rides we most wanted to go on. Believe it or not, plans NEVER worked out perfectly. I know, imagine that! But still, we were well aware that it's virtually impossible to always do everything you want, or plan to do. Hell, it even works that way for most every other vacation I take to this day. Example: Our cruise back in October. There were always two or three excursions we wanted to do at each port. Was it possible? Of course not. Solution: pick one and deal with it. Bottom line, I always considered FastPass as a nice option to utilize for maybe 1-2 more rides you may not have been able to get during your day......and that's just fine with me, because my happiness doesn't ride on NEEDING to do everything. I'd rather abide by the rules, and simply enjoy being at Disney....and not at work. Maybe that's just me though. I don't go in thinking Disney owes me anything more than pleasant employees....which they always deliver.

If you're that stressed at Disney, you're doing it wrong. You're just "knowingly taking advantage of it," but that's definitely not "cheating it." Sure, BIG difference there. Are you running for office this year? Scott "managed to thoroughly enjoy 25 years of WDW prior to FastPass without ever stressing" B.

This. I think there's a reason the "Country of Cheese" was created.......to pair it up with all the whine that's happening over this.

^ Should we ask Elissa if the Duggars have visited?

^ Playing real fast and loose with the term "celebrity" there, but a very interesting read nonetheless. That article pretty much sums up my exact thoughts on NASSA.

My system has always been better than using FastPass. I didn't have 24 kids, and I go when it's not as busy. And why am I able to go when it's not as busy? Because I don't have kids. My solution to the mess? Get rid of FastPass. There was a time when it wasn't around. But then again, it was a time when Americans still seemed slightly more responsible, and didn't carry around such a lofty sense of entitlement either. I still hear stories of people returning from their Disney vacations and not being able to hit up certain rides, even during "down times" of the year, AND having the FastPass option. The parks are big. Use the interwebs, plan better, or deal with it.

Heaven forbid Americans be asked to generally abide by the rules of a system that is included with entry ticket.

The Phillipines. There's plenty of Kenny Rogers Roasters locations there. Yes, but not a whole lot of coasters ... and NO good ones. But food > coasters. Didn't you see the last pic? Robb's about to eat their newest menu item....turtle. Mmmm, turtle. I gave up on this game long ago...'cause I suck at it.

I like those people too, because they clearly identify themselves as people I don't want to hang out with.

This looks delicious! I'd like to see an adult portion of this. Either way, kudos to the resort for re-thinking a lot of their food offerings lately.

Joey, thanks for the awesome look at the studios! You've kinda got me wanting to skip the parks, and hit these instead. I know at least one person in our household that would go nuts over this.

Seriously, we're doing this?

I hope kidtums wasn't educated by this She was born into TPR. I'm guessing she's pretty desensitized by now.

The Beer Market seems like the greatest concept in the history of mankind. America....listen up....start building these NOW.

^ Ah, thanks. Good to know!

I'm just hoping you'll visit the Marina Bay Sands Hotel while you're in town.

I'm officially sold on taking this tour the next time we're out there. Loved the Back to the Future sets! My memory's hazy.....were any of those buildings rebuilt following the fire(s)? Awesome stuff, guys!

It's February, 2012. Even Chuck Norris is disappointed with this thread.

I'm a big fan of "to do" lists, but one request....... Please don't document this one.

People care about commercials 1 out of 365 days, and you're having a conniption fit over it? Non-stop advertising and merchandise sales on ONE CHANNEL?!?!?!? This can't possibly be! Hey there, chief, CLICK ME, CLICK ME!! The world is a commercial. Deal with it. Meanwhile, back on topic....can someone please tell Honda they failed? Do they actually realize how big the Ferris Bueller thing would have been had they kept it a secret prior to the game? Why? Um, because it sells a lot of underwear? Facts: - Many Super Bowls parties were held. - Both men and women attended many Super Bowl parties. - Women and gay men appreciate David Beckham standing around in his underwear. - Many men left Super Bowls parties thinking they'd attract more women if they wore that underwear. - It's pretty simple, really. - And wait, how is this any different from a Victoria's Secret ad???? The new Acura NSX won.
