It's Been a Long Time Coming... Or, Has It Been Long Enough?

What up Dorks?

What's it been? Like a week? Maybe two since my last post.. Wait... What? Is that true? Five months?!? Two hundred seventy nine thousand three hundred sixty minutes. How do you measure, measure five months?

How has your past almost half a year been? Mine has obviously been action packed because, let's face it, I am amazing. Let me give you a small taste... Right at this very moment I am laying on my bed(comfortable) with my laptop(old but still works) watching Teen Kids News(Educational AND Informational!). Don't be jealous... But really, you should totally be jealous.

If you follow the Facebook page(and why wouldn't you? hint, hint) you know that I promised you a post where I apologize for some "wrong doings". Lets get that out of the way first...

Please note that as you read this my face is adorable(as always) and facing down and slightly at an angle with the most pathetic sad puppy dog eyes that make it clear I am being genuine in my guilt, buuuut also a twinkle in my hazel eyes that says I know you can't stay mad at me for long. Got it? I'll wait... If it helps, and you have never met me, some say I look like a young George Clooney... Annnnnd those people only say that because they all live in my imagination.

Here we go.

Danielle, Jaymie and Drew... I am SO sorry! I still have your prizes from previous contests sitting on a shelf. I will rectify that situation shortly.

Phew, I feel waaaay better! Huge weight lifted off my shoulders, but how dare you unknowingly cause me to feel guilty?


What's going on in the world of stuff?(There is a song that goes along with that, ask FSL next time you see her)

FSL has an instagram account that has some of the most amazing Disney pictures ever taken. You should check it out. Here you lazy bums, I will give you a link.

*Big Thunder Mountain is back open!! It took longer than they had planned(rumor is they BROKE the mountain). It is amazing! So smooth. So awesome. Don't worry Rossco, Rainbow Ridge is alive and well! We got a chance to ride it during the Cast Member preview. I would have loved to take a ton  pictures, but there were a lot of signs up that said not to. May have some pictures from the queue... Shhhhh! Don't tell!




LOOKS AMAZING RIGHT?!?
I also "live Facebooked" it if you follow the page, you would have already known that. I don't want to undersell it, but you should pack a bag and come ride it right now.

What else is new...

*Captain America meet and greet has opened up in Innoventions. Haven't been. Not my favorite character... well, I guess I should qualify that by saying I think it's actually Chris Evans that bothers me, plus it's weird that Johnny Storm is also Captain America. The First Avenger, my ass... Jesus was the real first avenger! Am I right everyone from the bible belt and south?

Gah. I feel like I need to clarify. I know that Jesus wasn't an Avenger, he is a total Justice League of America guy so save your emails and twits... no need to blow up my inbox!

*Bunch of rides closed down for referb. Small World opened for it's 50th birthday on 4-10-14 and then closed back down to continue... Doesn't effect my life at all.

*Easter is in full swing. Through a weird non Disney related fluke, we met Bridgette(here is her instagram), who is a Disney artist and is currently working in Big Thunder Ranch as an egg decorator with her sister. They do amazing work!


Ray Brown's work.
 *It seems with the success of Long Lost Friends, Disney has decided to keep that magic going an have had some character meet and greet at Big Thunder Ranch. Currently it's the Disney rabbits.

*Cove Bar Social Club is quickly becoming a thing. We have an instagram!


*Got a new watch!

*They had an Annual Passholder movie sing-a-long nights. We went our friends Joseph and Judy to see Little Mermaid. We all sang... except Joseph, because he is the enemy of fun.

*This happened.
Is that all?

*Oh! Frozen came out! Pretty good. The meet and great for Anna and Elsa is somewhere around 90 hours everyday all day.

We made it over 10,000 page views!!! It's a skewed number because it counts every page hit including bots and spammers, BUT STILL!! I am proud about the accomplishment, as suspect as it may be! Have been getting a lot of comments recently and I thought I would share some with you so you to can feel the weight of the impact this has on the lives of all who come in contact with it.

You hear that doubters? "Some 3 facts in this posting are without a doubt the simplest I have ever had." And you just thought this was all fluff! "Stuffed with amusement"! Thank you Anonymous!


This is also from Anonymous:
"Lovely value" indeed!

Return visitor! Wow! Thanks for checking daily to get nice information all the time! That's why I am here! Ohhh... Lauboutin Shoes? Where do I click?


Something strange is a foot at the Circle K....
I try to provide as much additional material as possible to give you such stuff in quality. It's like you are inside my head!



 No, it's just you. Stop posting crap.


Well, Anonymous, you are welcome. I hope you enjoy the significant infos.


 And I am thankful to you my friend. Your compliments will not go unrewarded.


 I think I may be able to "hit the nail on the top" again... You're drunk aren't you?


Awesome, thanks for the tip... although.... ummm... I have never toyed with the concept of chocolates as a promotional item, but your feedback is... appreciated??

What a great audience I have! Thanks to all of you, you nameless faceless weirdos!

What? You want some GIF's? let me see what I can muster...

Monorail

Really loooong monorail




I think that is it for now... I am sure there is a lot of things that I have forgotten, but that will give me an excuse to write more soon!

Stay Dorky!

P.S. I didn't forget that Star Wars was announced! I am just waiting... hoping... praying that they don't fuck it up... I don't want to jinx anything.

P.P.S. Fun Fact that may or may not be true. Main Street is modeled after 1910 America and Tomorrowland is based on 1986. Both years chosen because it was a Haley's Comet year.

P.P.P.S Another Fun Fact that can't be verified. It is rumored that It's a Small World is powered by the tears of small children and unicorn blood.
