You didn't tell them the best part: When the wind died, it was just enough to carry us to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom Watercraft dock. We were watching the Launches and Cruisers have to maneuver around us, and I knew we were inconveniencing them. That's when I really decided to go ahead and get the tow.

Yeah, already knew that, execpt I would have been okay with the wind sucking us along, too :D:

Wait a second... that sounds dirty... :eek:


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

My friends who are managers said that they are hiring and the upper management is being shift around between the parks. have have seen allot of new hires walk through the parks. Over 100 at least. You might have a hiring freeze, but Disneyland has open location spots. I guess they are hiring for Spring Break and summer locations. ;)
We're hiring a few new people here and there, but most of the New Hires you're seeing are College Programme. A large number of them started recently.

Hmm...a Marsupial and a Really Tall Guy on a boat stuck out in the middle of the water.....no wind....limited food supplies....add in a few gratuitous explosions and a completely unrelated love subplot between two lovers at the Polynesian and you have the makings of a Hollywood Hit!

;) :p:

Or a really cheesy sitcom. Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip... :D:

I didn't forget, I just couldn't figure out a way to word it so left it out.

Limited food supplies is an understatement. One 20 oz. bottle of soda made up our supplies.

I'm not touching the rest of that comment with a 20 ft pole (nor will I touch BW's last comment either).


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

The gentleman doth protest too much, way too much and yep that last BW comment was a bit adult.

Too bad you guys had not planned for the trip. Me and the ladies of SGT would have packed a lunch and had snacks and C-rations stocked up. At least one would have brought a fine merlot and another would have brought some chocolate covered potato chips. I would have had me some bacon cheeseburgers but then again we are ladies and we plan for when men get lost or loose power.
