Happy New Year...
...from The Bottom Line.
Having returned safely from Orlando, I thought I would pass along some of the wisdom I accumulated during my stay there. Thus, here are the Top Ten Things I Learned on my Disney World Vacation.
10. I hate standing in line (for most things. For the exception to this rule, see #6 on this list). Although many of the lines moved sorta quickly, I still felt like a Russian waiting in line for toilet paper a lot of the time.
9. The economic downturn has apparently not reached Orlando. Everybody and their damned brother was there.
8. If I'm ever in the position to move around according to the seasons, I'm definitely going with Florida in the wintertime. Average daytime high temp was ~76 degrees for the duration of our stay.
7. You really can get burgers and fries for four people for $30. No kidding.
6. 45 minutes in line + 2 minutes on Space Mountain = totally worth it.
5. 60 pounds carried on the shoulders for the purpose of watching a parade becomes painful after about 15 minutes.
4. Georgia sucks. If they're not working on the highway or otherwise obstructing traffic, they're bombarding drivers with billboards advertising massage parlors and adult bookstores. Savannah is the only piece of it that's worth the effort.
3. Thirteen hours is a hell of a long time in the car. Just sayin'.
2. I thought I-40 sucked at rush hour in RTP. It's nothing compared to the hell that is Kissimmee traffic going toward Walt Disney World. IT was a five mile trip that frequently took > 45 minutes.
1. It really is true that , if the kids are having a good time, everything else is gravy.
