Overheard SG convo

Their eyes glazed over that quickly? Osceola Parkway is just outside DAK's front gate! What did you do, give detailed directions on how to get to the guest parking lot from KSR?

"Just go through the village, over the bridge, follow around the Tree of Life until you get to Island Mercantile, make a right, go over another bridge, walk down the right hand path through the oasis, exit through the far right turnstile, walk to the parking tram, find your car, then follow the white arrows on the ground to the exit of the parking lot. Stay to the left, you'll be on Osceola Parkway, follow that to I-4 East, then get off at Exit 71, make a right, the Sea World parking lot will be on your right, park, go in the entrance of Sea World, and then make a right, follow that path, and the Shamu Stadium will be on the left."

I'm sorta surprised their eyes didn't glaze over sooner. Damn, about the only way to be more detailed would have been to give distances to.

Or better yet would have been to give directions in bizarre units of measure ... "Walk through the village for about half a click, cross the bridge that is 29 cubits long, then walk around the tree of life for approximately 872 hands ...."

[Big Wallaby]

Your cubits, or mine?

[LittleDollClaudia]

SHAMU!!

is awesome.

I went to see that Shamu Rocks show and damn if it wasn't almost Disney caliber.

The whales were so cute in a dangerously scary way.

LOL

I don't know LDC, I watched "Happy Feet" on cable...Shamu seemed hungry!!!

Going back to the ToT seatbelt discussion, the first time I rode ToT it had only a lap bar, which gave you that coveted "air time." I don't mind the seatbelts, but with the lap bar the ride, for me, was slightly more fu.

overheard at DL:

"well, water bottles are SO expensive here! i went to a cart, and their water was too expensive, so i went to the restaurant and it was just as expensive!"

okay. two things:
1. it's water. pretty standard price.
2. you're going to 2 separate institutions owned by the same company.

i think it is really easy for people to think that dl is it's own city, and every store/restaurant is owned independently. the money goes to one place people.
