SPECIAL CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT

Ahem.

My in-laws are forcing me into Didney Worl for the third time this year and it has all but killed my Christmas spirit.

This Christmas, I am going full Grinch mode. :grinch_smile:

You can expect all the uncut drama and holiday oopsies of Didney Worl to be the only thing celebrated on this account this year.

Fedi will be my dumping spot for how much I hate #DidneyWorl.

:duckie_evilLaugh: :moreevil.001:
I will celebrate dumpster fire ride scheduling. Will laud the flopped performances and crowds of losers who adore them. I will deck these halls with the sins of a generation of fabricated cheap entertainment. And I will not be getting you a gift this year. (((because I am still poor and should really be spending this holiday looking for a job/doing freelance work.))) :DeathNote_evilLaugh: :evilbuddy.001:

In so doing, I will hopefully be tolerable IRL through this holiday season.

My wife had to wake up at 4:30AM today in order to get our "lightning lane" passes this morning.

So I guess the #DidneyWorl fun is already starting. Havent even left for Florida yet.

And, oh yeah. That doesnt mean that we get to bypass ride lines.

It just means that my overly wealthy in-laws paid Disney to schedule a time to stand in different lines. For every single ride.

It's only better if you're crazy rich.

Now, we get to wake up at the butt crack of dawn every morning to get into a "virtual queue" so that we can actually ride the rides we have paid Disney to allow us to schedule as "lightning lanes".

Sound confusing? I think it's purposefully so.

So lets straighten it out.

Step one: By the Lightning Lane. This is the most advertised step and the easiest of course.

Step two: Wake up in the middle of the night so that you get firstish pick of scheduling your ride. You gotta do this on what feels like a random night prior to your trip so I guess add that to you're fun trip itinerary now

Step three: Every day at Didney Worl you must wake up at 7 AM. Even though you are dog tired from walking / running around a hot park all day. Then, you have to schedule your virtual queue. If you don't do this you will straight up just not get to ride the ride you paid for.

Step four: Wait for the people who run the virtual queue to call your number. This can happen at any time on the day that you have scheduled it. After they call your number, you have a limited time to show up at the ride before they skip you and you have to go back to step three. Hopefully you're somewhat nearby when they call your name or you'll have a wonderful time navigating the parks at high speed under duress.

Step five: Stand in line. This is the part where you finally wonder if it was all worth it. Because you're still going to be standing in line for probably 20 minutes. But, I guess that beats standing in line for 90 minutes.

#DidneyWorl is the best.

#DidneyWorl is the reason I lost #Whammageddon

Just rolled past the #DidneyWorl gate.

We are sleeping inside a giant maraca tonight for some reason. #DidneyWorl

Nighty night. Sleep deprivation starts early tomorow morning (5 hours) See you all soon. #DidneyWorl

Kicking it off strong today.

We got our virtual queue.
We got our Breakfast.
We got unpacked.
We got the caf.

Now it's 11:30 and the peeps just told us we need to be at the ride in 30 minutes.

But we aint even left the hotel yet. (impossible)

The good news is that it is definitely going to rain while we try to rush over their anyway.

Everyone is in such a great mood this morning

So far, my favorite experience has been the look on people's faces everytime my BiL suggests "mass homicide on Disney fans". He has suggested it 3 times now. #DidneyWorl

Just saw a kidney stone in a urinal.

Outside "The Seasons" center there is an unmistakable smell of smoked meat.

We asked some Didney Dudes about it and looked around but the source cannot be found and no knows where it's coming from.

The Didney Dudes say it just started showing up a week ago and switches between smoked meat and cookies.

I strongly suspect that Didney is piping the smell in to make people hungry. "The Seasons" has restaurants inside but they're not visible from outside.

Found the Nazi Budha at #DidneyWorl.

I'm sure this has some kind of other cultural significance that I and other Americans just don't know about.
