Confessions of a Disney World Addict: Random Thoughts

It has been since July that I have tortured my readers (the few that there are) with another Disney post but that does not mean I have forgotten you.

My life has changed a lot since the last post on July 30, 2014. Number one there is a lot less of me. On August 7, 2014 I went to the doctors and weighed in at around 250 pounds, just last week I weighed 212 pounds on two different scales. I have to go back to doc in two weeks and I might be taken off some of my medication I might be taken off some of the medication he put me on and I might be allowed to increase my carb count. On August 7 I was not sure what carbs were but now I know what they are and I know that I LOVE them. I celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of my twenty-ninth birthday on October 12, 2014 and I am also contemplating a career change.

Today I am going to shoot from the hip, so to say, and talk Disney. What I am sharing with you is not to be construed as what you must do but it is, as always, an "OPINION." So here it goes.

My ideal trip to WDW would be a two week trip with at least ten days in the parks in able to get two full days in all four parks with an extra in both EPCOT and MK and have days in order to explore other options like a water park and resort hopping (tour other resorts on property) plus to enjoy the resort I am staying at to the fullest. I told you this post will be random.

It costs $41 for a ticket to Carowinds plus an extra $50 for a Fast Pass + which allows you to skip ahead in lines for the rides. So a day at Carowinds before you get in the gates costs $91, three dollars cheaper than a one-day ticket at either EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and/or Disney Hollywood Studios and eight dollars cheaper than a ticket to Magic Kingdom and any of those Disney parks offer Fast-Pass options in the park at no extra cost. Hmmmm, Carowinds for a day or Disney World for a day, what would you choose. Do not mention the food costs. They both are outrageous however, if you ever enjoyed a Dole Whip or Turkey Leg while walking down Main Street USA you will know the difference is in the taste.

Another thing, Disney cast-members are way too nice. If you ever have experienced the courtesy of a Disney employee you are scarred for life when you realize that it is an unrealistic goal to obtain for other service industry folks.

Everyone should take a monorail to work, "Por favor, mantengase alejado de las puertas." Please stand clear of the door.

I am wondering if my planning of our next Disney trip landed exactly one-hundred days after Christmas was just a weird coiincedence or was it part of a bigger plan. I am going with coiincedence right now. Don't forget you were warned in the title that these were "random" thoughts.

I am not sure how I feel about the Sorcerers Hat leaving Disney Hollywood Studios, I remember when it wasn't there and that the park was known as MGM Studios.

Right now I have a cute little boy named Wyatt who wants me to get off the computer and spend some time with him so I will. Here are some pics I recently edited from our last trip.
