An Interlude - pack your suntan lotion

It's been a tough year - we've had to amuse ourselves without a Jake film in the theatres and those that are due have been postponed. Not a red carpet in sight. It seems only right, then, to cheer ourselves up. I am therefore taking WDW on holiday.


And because Jake has been conscientiously and diligently consumed by Disney's Prince of Persia for much of this year, I thought I would do some research and take a good look at the Disney machine firsthand (and pay particularly close attention to its margaritas) - WDW is going to WDW.



I am afraid to say that I am taking you all with me, like it or not. Bucket and spade aren't vital, but you may want to bring a swimsuit and a pair of good walking shoes. I will say upfront that there is no way I'm getting on the Tower of Terror so please don't ask me to (I'm happy to look after the bags). Space Mountain is a possibility, but I'm still thinking about it.


Please forgive an entirely offtopic interlude - brought about by the fact I have yet to pack.

Have a great trip! And bring back some sunshine to us.

But you must try the Space Mountain!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks Winterbird :D I went on Space Mountain years ago and I just about lived to tell the tale - not good on rollercoasters... I like the Space ride at Epcot though :D

I'll be posting each day as normal - hopefully the hotel net will work ok - and I'm back next weekend. I'll bring you some sunshine :)

WDW I'll go to Disneyland with you and on rides where I'm tall enough like Small World and the Tiki Room. Ok the Tiki Room isn't a ride but I like watching the singing birds and the drums. We can do Mr Toads Wild Ride if you want to know what driving with Daddy is like. Tea Cups make me sick. We have to see Pirates of the Carribean! I like it a lot, my cousin is in it he's the one holding a jail key. Hhaunted Mansion is fun. I love riding in the black buggys looking at all the ghosts. And the Treehouse we have to go the Treehouse! I'll show you around Tom Sawyers Island too and Main Street and I'll do you a favor and eat anything you don't want or if you get too full so you don't waste any money. If you want to go on Tower of Terror and Space mountain and Matterhorn I'll go with you and you can hold on to me and I will protect you. Just don't pull on my leather necklace too hard or I'll choke, ok?! Hey i know maybe if I walk on my hinds I can be tall enough for the rides! You and me WDW we will have a good time! Oh catcrap I just remembered Daddy might have to go with us because he's my freakin guardian....*pouts*..... hope you won't mind me having to bring my boring ass Dad on our date. *embarrassed* Well you and me WDW we will have a good time anyway, just the 2 of us and we can just ignore him and forget he's there, will that be ok with you?

O you're really going to D'land - I assumed at first you were taking yourself and us on a cybertrip. then I remembered - ! -

yay for you!

and irdemmus! (o dear me, us. . .)

(I hated Disneyland but my husband and daugther adored it. Never got over the death of Bambi's mother, as I have said before. I hold grudges, Im 'shamed to say)

safe flying, sweetie! & happy landing. (I think that's a sexy variety of massage, no?)

Atticus said...

*realizes too late "bodyguard" wouldv'e sounded cooler than "Daddy" going on their date*

Great post as usual!

Have a wonderful time at D-land...you deserve it! :D

Yes, please share the sunshine with us. ;)

Now I need to go back to oogling Hawaii Jake...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Atti! I'd love the company! Oh, ok, if you insist, Jake can come along... He'll have to hold my hand on the scary rides.

No force on the planet will get me to go on the It's a Small World ride... I would have nightmares for months :(

We will definitely go on the Pirates of the Caribbean and take a raft over to Tom Sawyer's :D How about some Test Track!

Hi Pia! I'm going to enjoy taking everyone with me :D (It's Disney World I'm going to, much more fun than Disneyland....). Oh Bambi, I remember seeing that as a small child, vividly. I appreciate the good flight wishes *)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Chuckle, Atti!

Hi Get Real! Thanks :D Hawaii Jake is such a favourite of mine... Hope it's not too chilly over there.

Carol said...

Great post as usual WDW.

Have a great trip and enjoy the sunshine. I'm heading Stateside myself for the week but I think I'm going to need woolly jumpers where I'm going:)

Do try and bring us back some sunshine:)

Enjoy!!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Carol! Thanks :D I hope you have a lovely week too, hope it's not too chilly.

P.S. - My word is "chafist". I'm personally not too fond of it.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey! I've made it! 9 and a half hour flight with only one seat empty on the entire plane... And it's warm and sunny - well it would be if it weren't dark. Off to find a cocktail and I'll be back later :D


Thanks so much Monica!
