Tips on: Orlando, FL (Disney, Universal, etc. Theme Parks)

[Bammer]

What can you jerks tell me about visiting the Magic Kingdom park in Orlando?

This will be for my kids’ 9th birthday and I think one full day will be enough (for all of us). The place we’re staying is a few miles away and has a really nice/big pool.

Any reason to rent a car and see other things in Orlando?

Disney has 4 separate parks there. Any of the other 3 can’t miss?

Definitely Hollywood Studios.

Epcot is cool, but give them a few more years. They’ll get into it more when they’re older.

Animal Kingdom is all right. Pretty much a giant zoo.

Universal is cool. It has two different sides/parks.

Animal kingdom also has the best roller coaster at Disney.

Mrs Wease would argue that.

I could be wrong, I haven't been in about 5 years

Magic Kingdom has the most attractions and is the most bang for your buck. Human being tend to go right so every where in the park go left if you can. Get there for rope drop. Go left in the park towards Adventure Land everyone will be going right. Do the Jungle Cruise first it backs up quick. Then Pirates and Big Thunder. Unfortunately Splash Mountain is closed. Then do Haunted Mansion. At this point Peter Pan will be over an hour wait. If its less do it if not skip it. If your kid loved any of the rides you already did do them again. If you are there early you can do them a couple times. I would eat lunch at 11am. I would eat dinner at 4pm. Always eat off hour. At this point if you don't do Genie Plus you'll have to wait in lines. Exceptions being Mickey Philharmagic, Hall of Presidents, Tom Sawyer Island, Swiss Family Treehouse, Carousel of Progress and the People Mover that tend not to have long waits. When you start to get tired do Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid most of the line is in the shade. I don't think you can wait in line yet for Tron you have to get a boarding pass. I love the ride but its short so it might not be worth the hassle. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will have along wait. I like the ride but it might not be worth it. Space Mountain is worth it. All other rides I would do or skip based on line and interest. If your kid wants to do meet and greets go ahead but you'll waste a lot of time.

The Aerosmith thing is her favorite coaster.

Universal is better than Disney. Disney is full of a bunch of Disney adults that are weird and Don’t even have kids, but clog up the lines. Do the men in black ride at universal. It’s interactive and fun as hell

Do the men in black

sage advice

Always surprises me how quickly things transition to true detective season one when you drive anywhere outside orlando

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

I used to work with one of these weirdos. Never again.

They should all perish.

Go to Epcot and hit every country’s bar so you can drink around the world.

Just hire someone to take care of the kids that day.

Pretty sure there’s a divorce court at Disney

My wife would like to go one day in the future, and presumably my kid would like to in a few years. I’m thinking it will be long lines, lots of stress, poor junk food, very expensive.
