Back from Disney

That was a fast trip. It wasn't much in the way of relaxing because we did so much, but it was awesome. We still had a great time and ate like kings. We did a ton of walking, but I still gained weight because of all the super fatty fat food I ate. We went to a pirates of the Caribbean party with a dessert bar, a breakfast with Alice in Wonderland and a buffet dinner at a 50's type diner. Plus all of the other snacks and meals provided by my richy rich sister. ;)

Random thoughts about travelling, Disney World and people in general:

-I'd never flown before.....so the whole airport, plane ride stuff that I had thought was so big time and intimidating, was totally no big deal. Signs tell you where to go and what to do. Plus, since I'd never done it before I wasn't at all bothered by taking my shoes off or having my bag x-rayed.

-It was hot....so that lends itself to seeing people wearing less that they should be wearing. And since this was one of the biggest vacation spots in the world, we're talking about a variety of gnarly and super fat people wearing skin tight shorty shorts and bikini tops. Ugh...I'll have nightmares for years.

-That isn't even the tip of the iceberg though as far as feet are concerned. I am a nasty feet connoisseur....I just can't seem to look away from bunions, hammer toes, yellow gnarly nails that are curled over the toe by an inch......it was a fucking smorgasbord of podiatric delight!

-since I lived in a college town for a good number of years, I am used to seeing and hearing people from other countries, but there were so many more dialects and people I'd never run across before...like people in line with us that were from Trinidad, park employees from Morocco and people sitting by us at a restaurant from England. It was very interesting to talk to people and hear their accents.

-Speaking of accents....I lived in Texas when I was a kid and I've heard "ya'll"'s galore....but I had never, until this weekend, hear anyone in real life speak like "Mater" from Cars. This man said to his wife "Dag gum, man!" I was like....did I just hear what I thought I heard? So every time after that we'd hear a thick southern drawl my sister and I would break out the "dag gum, did you hear that", as drawl-y as possible.

-People let their teenage daughters dress/act like whores. Not that this is too surprising, but again I've never witnessed it up close and personal like that. We constantly were seeing 14/15/16 year old girls getting dry humped by their boyfriends, right in front of mom and dad. I was like "time to pony up the dough for another abortion, right dad?!!!" Then there was the swearing and cussing of the children. This one girl told her dad that he was a "fucking pussy" and he never said a word to her. Nice values. I know, why don't you reward your bratty-ass kids with a trip to Disney World!!!

Anyway, that's about all I have to say about that, but here are a few pictures:
