Oh man that is real nice!  I hope your kids have an awesome time.  I remember going to Disney World when I was really little, it was fantastic.

Thanks Urch! :)  We went in '03, for 3 days total time at the World. This time we're doing 7 days and staying at a premium resort. Kids are 3 years older, they should enjoy it more this time around. Its my 4th trip to WDW in my lifetime.

Never been to Walt Disney World, went to the Land of Disney few years ago, was cool.  I enjoyed Universal Studios A LOT more though.




Back To The Future rocked!

The best time I've ever had in a passenger jet was JFK to London.  Nice, comfortable plane, no idea what kind, but had plenty of room, my own mini tv in the front of my chair with 12 or so movies to choose from, free headphones, large lavatory, free booze (wine*), and actually a pretty decent pasta dish, and the stewardesses are friendly.  All this in the cheap seats.

Went to England, spent a fortune, and had a grand old time.  I was looking forward to the flight back and all the nice pampering.

UNFORTUNATELY....  Once they've got yer cash and you're on your way back home, it's down to a crummy plane, no personal tvs (still free headphones at least), stuck watching a presentation of guacomole (I'm serious), tiny bathroom, booze costs money, you get a cold cut sandwhich, and no one cares how yer doin'.

I had to feel bad for the British tourists.  Whereas I had all of the former plus a kind reception in "customs" going to England (talked to one lady for a minute or so, no line), they had all of the latter, plus our own, post-9/11 version of "welcome" coming here.

Won't work. Englishmen flying to Spain are generally incapable of standing, either on the flight or once they arrive.

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I've actually never been to disney world.  Really doesn't appeal to me at all.

However, I did once go to sea world.  In my semi drunken state all I can remember are Manatees and Family Guy writers...




Also, this rumour has been dispelled (or so it seems).

Good:
First class Air France on the longer flights, you get to make ferocious faces to the pompous bourgeouis next to you, funk with every convention you can think of, and eat and drink everything on the menu, and still be treated like a king.. then fall asleep like a rock in those 80's design leather cushions just as the wine is hitting upstairs.

Bad:
Southwest on any flight.  Long and fussy waiting lines, seats inside are low quality and seem to have about 35 billion ass-hours on them, and the food sucks almost everytime.

Ugly:
Something else than getting a BJ on a night flight from someone you just met :D

I hate flying, I always end up being seated next to some filthy 1 thoothed rude limey brit. Or someone who has yet to discover deodorant.

Your kids ride rollercoasters yet Rip? If so, take 1 day and go to Universal Studios. Even the lines are part of the attraction (and best of any theme park I've been to). The Hulk is one of the best steel coasters in the U.S. Pretty much every attraction there is better than the equivelent at Disney/Epcot/MGM.
