  - How many people would schedule their vacations to go to Disney the one week that there are no kids? - Spawn Jan 21, 09:03
  - Disney would anger so many people if they banned kids for a week. -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 09:00 1
    - ooooooooooh, i so misunderstood that. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 09:03
  - Maybe he wants to go to Disneyland with no kids in the park? -- nm - amoxy Jan 21, 08:59
We passed potentially the best named bookstore ever on the way to the hotel: Literaturbuffet -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 08:57 1
- Lite Rat, U R Buff, E.T.? -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:59
An extensive, board spanning discussion about Disney and their theme parks, and I'm not here? UN-AC-CEPT-ABLE! - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 08:56 5
- Aside: If anything, they're increasing the personal interactions with guests, but it's costing you money. For instance... - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:00
- don't you mean crap chute? - mafic Jan 21, 08:58 1

  - I bought it for my nephew. I intend to read it but based on ST you may find two awesome things this week (first being Mad Men). -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 21, 09:00 1
    - I have season 1 and 2 of Mad Men. Haven't watched them yet. -- nm - Diva Jan 21, 09:02

      - Wow. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 08:52
      - This mostly why I defriended almost all of ST. FB and ST cross-gossip killed me -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 21, 08:51 1
        
        I defriend because I just didn't like having so many on FB. Nothing personal. -- nm - lileve Jan 21, 08:58
- Stacy has been posting for a while on FB about her committed relationship with Madonna. - Jim Jan 21, 08:47 4
  - huh? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 21, 08:48 3
    - *loves this* -- nm - Diva Jan 21, 08:51
    - exactly. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:48
    - yeah, that's pretty much exactly it. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:48
I tried to see if this has been posted, but Crash crashed the system. 100 Whiskey soon to be drunk -- (link) - amoxy Jan 21, 08:44 1
- news like that is worthy of a repost anyways -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 08:54
Speaking of Disney, I found out yesterday that my nephew wore out his DVD of Cars in like a year and a half. - Reagen Jan 21, 08:42 2
- I knew it was possible, theoretically. But I never dreamed that I'd hear of it actually happening ... - Beryllium Jan 21, 08:49 1
  - I imagine he must have gotten peanut butter fingers on it or scratched it or something. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 21, 08:50
another day, another session on Dr. S. Talk to figure out wtf you people are talking about - crash davis Jan 21, 08:39 17
- Near as I can figure, Disney is forcing Stacy to sit around to be photographed and sign autpgraphs thanks to her relationship with Madonna - TWuG Jan 21, 08:42 1
  - now *that* would be an amusment park. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:43
- "System load is currently too high. Please try again later." - amoxy Jan 21, 08:41 2
  - It's not the most efficient system in the world ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 08:48
  - heh heh. you said "load." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 08:42
- The Hunger Games is a fantastic book that begins a trilogy of fantastic books. - TFox Jan 21, 08:41 7
  - but what the hell is it about? - crash davis Jan 21, 08:45 6
    - it sounds like Battle Royale: The Book to me. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:48 1
      - its got a lot of similarities in Book 1. and then expands upon it a lot. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:50
    - It's about the ST daily lunch polls. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 21, 08:47 1

      - I appreciate that but no hurry. -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 08:52
- Resource sharing, insight, and discourse on a plethora of topics, from contemporary and popular culture to more specialized subjects such as politics, - JaxSean Jan 21, 08:40 3
  - I hope that goatee itches -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 08:41 2
    - what? can I see that? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 21, 08:43 1
      - sure, if Jax consents to reveal his dark side -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 08:49
Maybe the solution for Disney is to hire more people? - Mel Profit Jan 21, 08:37 3
- it would cost money to hire more characters, and as you point out, take away their ability to monetize that part of the Disney experience. - znufrii Jan 21, 08:42
- build an even bigger theme park! with blackjack! and hookers! in fact, forget the park. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:40 1
  - and the blackjack. - Beryllium Jan 21, 08:41
"With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero" --nm - prayformojo Jan 21, 08:34 3

  - Unnecessary Surgery Land! -- nm - prayformojo Jan 21, 08:37 1
    - "Hey! That bartender even looks like John Travolta." "Yeah, 'look's like'." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 08:40
[deleted]
Jack, yes I remember going "WTF?" at what they considered Canadian food. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:33 4
- [deleted] 3
  - I don't recall exactly, just that it was something that I had never come across before. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:38 2
    - It's a big country. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 08:40 1
      - (dreams stay with you. Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside....stay alive.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 08:44
When we went to Great America shortly following our Disney trip, we were disgusted by the contrast in the cleanliness of the park. You don't really - oblique Jan 21, 08:33 51
- This is very true. I went to Disney and Universal Studios back to back once. - ty97 Jan 21, 09:02
- There is a *lot* going on in this one thread -- nm - prayformojo Jan 21, 08:48
- Yeah...since I typed this and the board rolled...this is as good a place as any to repost. -- (link) - Jim Jan 21, 08:34 [Backboard] 5
  - They say that a piece of garbage on the ground will be picked up in less than 5 minutes. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 08:37 2
    - it amuses me to read this in a whispered voice, full of wonder. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:45
    - I will test this when we go next year :) -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 08:37
  - Mine was LIR as well about meeting the characters, so I'll repost too. -- (link) - pmb Jan 21, 08:36 [Backboard] 1
    - I also wrote this post somewhere on B2. Some of you might not have seen it. -- (link) - TFox Jan 21, 08:38 [Backboard]
- They do a spectacular job at that park. With the huge numbers of people involved they really do it as well as it can be done. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 08:34
- honestly, I am really not an amusement park person. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:33 41
  - I'm not a crowds person. I've enjoyed smaller amusement parks, but have never been to the really big ones. -- nm - mara Jan 21, 08:40 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - How was it? I really want to go. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 08:43 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        i am *dying* to go. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:46 3
        
        Me too. My sister-in-law and her family live just outside Orlando so I'm there with some frequency. I'm going in April, but it's for a bat mitzvah - pmb Jan 21, 08:59
        
        me to. -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 08:49
        
        Word...we're taking the kids for vacation this year. YAY!!! -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 08:47
  - neither am I. I like the rides and all, but I hate crowds. tradeoff just isn't worth it. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:38
  - are there any that you do like? Busch Gardens, Six Flags, etc? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 08:37
  - you hate bunnies and rainbows too, don't you. -- nm - decline Jan 21, 08:34
  - not everyone likes fun, I guess -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 21, 08:33 29
    - here comes the ST logic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:34 27
      - I saw this as a good-natured jibe, rather than "you're stupid, loosi!" -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:41
      - You don't have to feel obliged to reply to every single effing post that bugs you loosilu. It's Okay to ignore people that irk you once in a while. -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 08:40
      - it's because you so adamantly post about it. you don't have to comment negatively, you can let it go. - Andie Jan 21, 08:35 24
        
        Whoa, whoa, whoa...wait a minute. Andie doesn't like football? That's some bullshit right there. Why you gotta hate, Andie?!!? -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 08:37 6
        
        it's, it's down right un-American! -- nm - decline Jan 21, 08:39
        
        she's probably talking about the CFL, dude. - prayformojo Jan 21, 08:38 4
        
        actually, CFL games are usually much better than NFL ones -- nm - zork Jan 21, 08:41 3
        
        Oh no you din't! -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 08:42 2
        
        I've often predicted that were you to get the best NFL players playing the CFL game, that you would all embrace the game. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 08:44 1
        
        Bastage! You get me all ready to argue with you and then you say something nice about Tebow. Now I got nothin'. - Jim Jan 21, 08:47
        
        well, if everyone kept insisting that you really do, you might get ticked. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:36 15
        
        i hate to drag this out, but if i posted how much i disliked it, they probably would. so i don't. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:37 4
        
        I really don't think they would. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:38 3
        
        If she had a long history of doing it, they absolutely would. nm - Dignan Jan 21, 08:41
        
        did you see the thread when i said the Bills game i went to was boring? -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:39 1
        
        admittedly I did not. Point taken. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:39
        
        but that isn't what happens. its virtually any post with the word "Disney" in it. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:37 9
        
        I probably do say it too much, but you really all could ignore me. - loosilu Jan 21, 08:38 8
        
        I'll say it. You post so damn much. I actually do ignore 99% of your posts, but... you post so damn much. - con_carne Jan 21, 08:47 3
        
        it is true, I did bring this on. point taken. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:52 2
        
        Not judging, but you have a habit of trying to dominate every conversation - con_carne Jan 21, 08:58 1
        
        It is true. I often don't see it here. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:59
        
        You could also just ignore the Disnye posts. nm - Jim Jan 21, 08:44
        
        If we're all supposed to ignore you, why post it? Just say it to yourself at home, where we can't hear. - TFox Jan 21, 08:39 2
        
        don't bitch at me about dragging it out when you're helping drag it out, is what I'm saying. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:41 1
        
        oh, i don't care. i'm just trying to explain, and its taking a while. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:42
        
        right. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:36
    - heh heh. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 21, 08:34
so I'm officially boycotting the dunkin donuts on route 26. I feel like "extra toasted sesame bagel with butter" is not so out there, but they can't - amanda jones Jan 21, 08:32 13
- you buy a bagel every day?!? and coffee?!? I bet it's $4 coffee, too! -- nm - crankypantspixie Jan 21, 08:39 2
  - regular coffee. it's inexpensive. I have hundreds of dollars of DD gift cards from hesser. I was burning them. - amanda jones Jan 21, 08:45 1
    - Write to corporate or the franchise owner. -- nm - lileve Jan 21, 08:59
- My first DD experience last year was highly disappointing, but I blame it on the specific one I went to. - con_carne Jan 21, 08:36
- there's nothing more frustrating than an incompetent DD staff. * - TFox Jan 21, 08:35 5
  - we only have three in town. if sheetz had sesame bagels, I would never have bothered with DD to begin with. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 21, 08:39
  - the few times I go to one of the two by North Station the whole thing is impressive. - Mel Profit Jan 21, 08:39
  - unfortunately the ones around where work are all pretty substandard. - Diva Jan 21, 08:37 2
    - we've switched to this local chain by our new place called Sip N Dip. - TFox Jan 21, 08:39 1
      - intriguing. I wish there were better/other options near where I work. - Diva Jan 21, 08:42
- I love butter on bagels. -- nm - mara Jan 21, 08:34 2
  - I could never get with it. A dab of butter seems to get lost in all the dense bagelyness, and then it seems like I'm eating just a dry bagel. -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 08:37
  - cream cheese is so low-rent by compare. (my receipts all say "sesame bagel 2 toasted butter, btw.) -- nm - amanda jones Jan 21, 08:36
magic...motherhumper -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 08:32
good morning -- nm - decline Jan 21, 08:32 1
- "Up yours, slave!" -- nm - Old lady Jan 21, 08:33
