Are you sure you meet the size requirements? Looks like they might have trouble strapping you in...

Pretty funny stuff.

What's even funnier is that they shot that sketch in and around Universal Studios.
Of course,they wouldn't have gotten permission to film at DL anyway.

Well, sure, they'd need an industrial-sized dryer. Maybe I'll just stick with the "Stairway to Tomorrow" instead.

Do they have a "fast pass" for that one? hehehehehhehehe

Seems to me that we saw some pretty big dryers when we did the backstage tour a couple of years ago! Maybe they are waiting for you to be the first rider?

WooHoooo
have some RUM before boarding!

Recently, I followed a link, I think it was either from MSN or someother news link from a site, anyway, they had these 10 things on how to make yourself recession-proof. One of the tips was look for creative ways to save your company money. One of the examples was that one guy working for a major airline saved several thousand dollars simply by eliminating one olive from the salads served onboard. Doesn't seem like much, but those little things really add up.
If you're on a diet, if you eliminate just a few hundred calories a day from your diet, by either eating fewer high calorie snacks or by making a simple substitution, you can lose several pounds. For example, instead of eating a handful of potato chips, have a plain baked potato, thus saving at least 300 calories. Me, what I do is eat quite a bit of soup. Last month, my money ran out, and I really had to improvise with a container of chicken boullion powder. I lost 7 1/2 pounds. Went straight from obese to overweight according to the BMI scale. Only 31 pounds to go before I hit the top of my normal weight range, from there 20 more pounds til I get to the median weight, and 71 1/2 until I get to the bottom of my healthy weight range, of 118 pounds. Several pairs of pants are already getting loose. Good thing I have a really good belt.

But if Disney were to do the same thing, in a way, maybe making small cutbacks, like if they have a lot of people who don't eat the dill pickle spear served with some sandwiches, they could either eliminate the pickle spear entirely or make it a request item. I bet just that alone would save them quite a bit of money each year. Cutbacks shouldn't effect the cast members adversely.

They say now we're going to have another sugar shortage, similar to the one back in the early 70s. Restaurants stopped putting sugar on the tables, because they knew people would steal them. So if a customer wanted sugar, they had to ask for it, and was limited to only two packets. Disney's restaurants could do that, if they don't already. Some restaurants back then also limited how much butter a customer could get. Little things do add up.
