Month: October 2004

I’ll have video and photos…if I can’t post them tonight I will tomorrow night!

I tried to email a photo but it didn’t work! Main Street USA is decorated with Red Sox balloons, and some of the players will be here for the 2pm parade! OMG!

I’m sure 1000s of other people have already said it, and said it better than I did, but man, am I a happy girl. I watched the 86 series in the lounge of my dorm room, just stunned when we lost. Yesterday I watched the game from our hotel room on the fifth floor of Disney’s Beach Club Hotel, and I was happy. It was one of those “where did you watch the Sox break the curse” things. I was on vacation. You know what, though? Last night didn’t thrill me the way beating the Yanks in 7 last week did. THAT, to me, was better than the World Series.

And now, we can look at anyone carrying around a 1918 sign as a loser, too afraid to face the truth – that curses are bunk, and we were the best team and the way we plowed through the last eight games proves that it wasn’t a fluke.

Go Sox! You Rule!

Quick check in from the Sunshine State. We finally paid for the internet connection from the room, so I’m actually doing this on Mr. Dump’s computer instead of my phone. Can you tell the difference? I thought not.

We’ve hit all the parks and then some. Today was our second hit to MGM/Disney Studios. Guess who finally went on Tower of Terror? That’s right, I’m one bad mamma jamma. And yesterday I went on Mission Space. I just want to say I don’t appreciate the feeling Mission Space gives you, which is something akin to having your breasts (should you have them) weigh 500 pounds each – causing your chest to compress. I hear that’s the g-forces at work, and I just decided to not pursue a career in space travel. Other than that, it’s pretty cool. I just never ever need to go on it again.

Gotta go, we’re headed off to the Food and Wine Expo at Epcot. Epcot is a 5 or 10 minute walk from our hotel, which is amazing. I do want to say that I don’t appreciate that there’s a relatively high level of public intoxication during this festival. I guess that’s what happens when you have a billion people sampling beer and wine every 15 feet, I guess that’s bound to happen.

I can’t believe how crowded it is down here. I mean, I’m just sad that it’s as busy as it is. I had hoped for short lines all around, but we’ve had long waits at each of the parks for certain rides. 45 minutes for Peter Pan at the Magic Kingdom on Monday. In October? Why aren’t these kids in school? Oh, wait, ours aren’t either.

Okay, they’re waiting for me. Talk later!

You know what’s stinky about watching the World Series from here in Florida? No Tivo. You takes yer chances if you need a pee break. On the other hand, because we’re staying on the concierge level, we have free alcoholic beverages. While some might not consider a sombrero a baseball kind of beverage, it’s my drink of choice today.

Pedro, by the way, rocks.
