I actually haven't set foot in a Disney park for two months now, which is a very long time for me. But I did spend 17 days on a cruise across the Pond and in Europe, so I shouldn't complain! Although I do want to ride TSMM!

Oh why, oh why did the idiots in mgmt put FP on that ride? Oh I forgot it is to give guests the illusion that they are getting something extra for free.

They could all be wearing baggy shorts and soccer jerseys as long as people are courteous that is all that matters to me.

Consider me disspirited!
