Is anyone using a Mac having issues with SH search pages? At least one person is. Not I.

A termite walks into a bar and asks, “Where’s the bar tender?”
A man with a duck stuck to his head went to the doctor. The doctor asked, “What can I do for you?” The duck replied, “Doc, can you get this man off my ass?”

My sister’s getting married. Disney, here we come (again)!
Posted by Cass under Family and FriendsComments Off
My younger sister, Cortney, is getting married this winter. She (along with most of my family) lives in central Florida, and she and her husband-to-be are both Disney fanatics. Believe it or not, a sizable portion of the whole family, incuding the newlyweds, is heading to Disney World the week after the wedding.
I grew up going to Disney World regularly and I still love the place. Nearly every year, up until my 12th, Mom would throw us kids in the back of the station wagon and we’d make the trek from Chicago to Walt’s dream come true in central FL. We’d typically stay for a few days at the park, then spend a couple more with my grandparents (who lived a couple hours away), and then finally make the return journey back up I-75. I have very fond memories of those trips - all of us do. And after the family finally migrated south and settled among the Floridian orange groves (when I was 12), we made several trips each year to the park. By the time I graduated from high school, my family had probably been to WDW between 30 and 40 times.
Today I live in the San Francisco area and my son and I visit our family in FL once or twice each year, but we’ve only been to WDW once since he was born. I think he was 4 years old then. Now, at 7, he’s at a near-pefect age for WDW, where the Magic Kingdom can still be magical, Epcot (esp. Future World) is downright cool, the studios excite (think: Star Tours and the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular), and he’s tall enough to ride anything he’s brave enough to try. WDW has changed so much since I was his age that I can’t begin to imagine how he’ll respond to it all, but I bet he’ll have a ton of Good, Clean Fun.
We’re planning a 5-night stay, which may sound like hell on earth to those who picture Disney World as one long queue after another. It can be, but we’ve learned a few tricks over the years. I’m at least as excited about the trip as Ben is.
