Wes Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 My girlfriend and I decided to go to Orlando for a week of fall fun with a bunch of friends. I'll probably be posting updates every other day or so, so feel free to post replies in the meantime. Day One: Getting Here and Animal Kingdom! Last one for tonight, just a cool lamp in AK with the old logo (with the dragon). I found a way to make Dark Dark Dark Dinosaur 75% DARKER!!! NOT our dino! Drive slow, homey. LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIS... I do not like this ride, but the shot came out well. BIRD ON A STICK BIRD ON A STICK BIRD ON A STICK BIRD ON A STICK Jim and KC are ready to experience the power of the Yeti. And another for good measure. Obligatory standard roller coaster photo. YETI BOOOOOOOOOOOBS!!! I wasn't making a face in this photo, that's just how I look all the time. I fought the law! Of course, I came dressed to pay homage to my favorite giant hairy ape. I've come back for some hot Yeti luvin'. Of course, we didn't fly all the way across the country to lounge around at the hotel. The lobby. It's really white. Our hotel for the trip, Port Orleans Riverside. This place is really pretty. Alexis gets friendly with the local wildlife. Alexis goes for the first ride of the trip, the MCO monorail. Reason #1 Jetblue is awesome: I CAN WATCH COLBERT ON THE TV's! HAY LOOK WE'RE ON A PLANE Not very full at all! Jetblue is awesome, and our flight was only half full. In case of crash landing, you ARE allowed to give yourself oral pleasure and/or make out with babies Thank god we didn't have to fly out of stupid LAX! Burbank is so much nicer and laid back than that hell hole! It's 7am, don't I look pleasant? I apologize for making you all stare at my ugly face.

Rollerholden Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Nice pics so far. I know that when we flew to SoCal with JetBlue we were very happy with them too...our flight was also only half full (it left at 6:30 in the morning though).

coasterdude5 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Nice TR, but what's the chicken-on-a-stick joke about? I rode EE back in March and I don't remember seeing anything, but I was in the back so I probably missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Of course, I came dressed to pay homage to my favorite giant hairy ape. Are you talking about Robb or the yeti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Welcome to the East Coast (the better one of course ) Cool shot of the lamp with the old logo - I *heart* the lights at Flame Tree BBQ at Animal Kingdom that at night look like bugs are crawling around them. /member of the DAK is best at night club... founder actually //you better come to Frontierland on Sunday night!

tinflowers Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Your girlfriend's hot. Nice pics so far. Beat me to it. Hey Wes, you don't look at all like I imagined you to! Just with the manner in which you disspell false and retreaded threads through your modship with such ferocity, I would have thought you too be more...insanely hairly and large, almost animal-like. Yet you look so gentle...aww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Does this look like the face of a gentle man?! I've decided I hate everybody who gets to go to Florida this year. Or California, for that matter. I hate everybody. OMG, am I emo?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Just wanted to randomly throw this out there.. I've been to California twice this year, Florida four times by the end of the year, and have had exactly 8 meals at Steak and Shake. And LOL... wesyuk!

Louise Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Just wanted to randomly throw out there that I hate Jow more than anybody else. I hope he's looking forward to Spain, where he will die in an ironic stationery-related acccident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Nice PRT Wes! I stayed in that same resort and yea, the lobby was really white. I thought the slide was pretty cool, too. Nice pics! "LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIS...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it. Just wait until there is a paper cut that gets infected. You will hate yourself for making that statement. By the way, cool TR so far. I can't wait for more.

Louise Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Oops, yeah sorry, should totally have pointed out in my previous post that I'm enjoying the TR so far.

I'm sorry I got delayed in posting the rest of the pics, we've had a bunch of really late nights and really early mornings. I'm gonna try to post a couple more days tonight.

Wes Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Day Two: MGM, EPCOT, Ohana, and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party I ended up with 35 bags of raisins. Yep. 35 bags. Of raisins. Big happy family group shot! Rollin' in raisins. Yep, pretty much ALL RAISINS! Whereas my bag is FULL OF THEM!!! Alexis doesn't seem to be getting stuck with any raisins. Uhhh...do raisins really count as candy? A GIGANTIC trough of Snickers. And there were two of these. And what would MNSSHP be without getting tons of candy, right? Awwwwwwwwwww. Time for a little Big Thunder action. Space Mountain...or BLOOOOOOD Space Mountain? Boo To You, now with 100% more Captain Jack in it. HalloWishes was pretty cool. The music was kinda lame but it was a good show overall. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Properly stuffed, we headed over to MK for MNSSHP! Matt and Lucas joined us for some delicious charred animal flesh. It's almost as good as Olive Garden! This is the happiest moment of Dan's life. Faces Of Sign Molestation: Part II Faces of Sign Molestation: Part I OHANA!! Wanna know why Dan looks so happy? Group shot, and hey, look how showed up! Dan and Kristen! I got a degree in shelling with a minor in butter making. MYSPACE PICTURE ALERT Hey Elissa, what's up? Alexis samples some of the offerings from the Food and Wine festival. "Hi, is Lou's hymen there?" Y Halo Thar HAHA I PUT ON A GOOFY HAT MAN I AM SO FUNNY First fountain statues, now plush purple dragons! You ride in clams. You do not get a pearl necklace. All sea animals are actually two dimensional. True story. MINE MINE MINE...These things are so awesome. New ride alert! New ride alert! Iknignokg, the creator of the internet. Time to ride TEH INTERNETZ Artsy shot for your artsy people. Okay, enough of MGM. Let's go visit the world's largest golf ball. OMG, Chip, Dale, and Chip n Dales whore girlfriend!! I wonder if they tag-team her or do fingercuffs. The secret MGM porn stash!!! One day into the trip, and she's already making passes at other guys. Faces Of Terror: Back In Black Faces Of Terror: Part II Faces of Terror: Part I I fudged this up, but it actually turned out pretty cool. Good Tower turned Alexis into a ghost! Good effing TOWER. Hell to the yes. There must be a good reason we're here. This movie SUCKED! We started out the day at MGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 These PTR's keep getting better and better. Wes rules! Although I may have to deduct a point from the total, as Ohana's is entirely overrated. I would actually rather eat at Olive Garden... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
