A Magical Trip.

For eight days, I was immersed in "The Disney Experience." Here are some of the things that happened:


I met the Blue Men, met an astronaut, saw Titanic's grand staircase up close, flew on a Space Shuttle, gazed at the massive Saturn V Rocket, saw my wife slap one of the Plain White Tees, saw Mickey Mouse officially open the Magic Kingdom, saw my wife cry happy tears when we saw the famous Disney Castle and Baloo from Jungle Book, rollercoasted with Aerosmith, Spiderman and The Hulk, took a boat tour through Jurassic Park, went on the ride that made a legend of Captain Jack Sparrow, flew through downtown Calgary in "Circle Vision" at the Canada Pavallion, starred in a magic show at Wonderworks where I helped "sing" the closing song, was featured as "That Guy" on the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, was chased by Jaws, was in a room where I introduced to all the US Presidents, was about to go on GM's Test Track ride but seconds before we boarded it closed due to rain, touched a moon rock (smooth!), saw a meteor that fell from the sky in China in the 1500s that I could actually buy for only $12000USD, was denied Sushi in the Japan Pavillion, saw hoards of fussy kids driving their parents mad, got hit by flying banana pieces, watched the Twister set get destroyed twice, dined with pirates, took a ride on a bike taxi, found a new favourite restaurant (there is only one in Canada and it is in Toronto), watched many fireworks shows, experienced lots of warm rain, saw the latest Harry Potter movie (we were the only three people in the theatre so we got to boo the previews we didn't like, cool!), walked miles and miles and miles, spent a few hours in Denver, Colorado.

It was only eight days but we did three weeks worth of stuff. What a trip!
