  1. Wow I haven’t been to Fuddruckers in probably 30 years. Used to be really good and fresh.
  2. Somewhere in here there is a joke about early entry at Mickey’s Backyard Massage Parlor and Casino, but I’ll leave that up to your imagination.
  3. Speaking of which, Mickey’s Backyard Massage Parlor and Casino is reintroducing their “all you care to enjoy” option next month. Pricing has not yet been determined.
  4. I bet they will get the rotisserie chickens from Sam’s Club for $4.99. Toss them in a skillet with some corn and charge $49 per person.
  5. Have we reached the ecstasy, or are you going to tell us your camper burst into flames, or rolled into the lake? 🤣 That site looks nice. I remember being at the Fort when they were adding those sites (had to be 2009 or so?), and not liking what they were doing. But that looks like a pretty spot to sit, drinking coffee and watching for stuff to pop up out of the water. As long as it isn't anything that wants to eat me. Wait, is that your next update? Did your dog get eaten?
  6. Please tell me the ecstasy is better than just getting the fire put out before the Suburban burst into flames? Hopefully it involves actual Disney magic?? Because wow, that trip sounds harrowing. I mean, the spare tire is in pretty close proximity to the fuel tank, right?? And this, folks, is why you must check those fire extinguishers regularly to make sure they still have a charge! Can you imagine how this might have ended if you went to get the extinguisher from the camper, squeezed the trigger, and nothing? Glad that didn't happen! Ok, on to the ecstasy!! Please?!?
  7. I had an interesting conversation with a toll booth collector on the bridge going into Delaware a number of years ago. Was driving a Motorhome towing a car...so 4 axles total. I was charged $16. I noticed a sign indicating cars were $3, so I asked how much it would be for just the motorhome. She said $8. So I said “you mean to tell me that if I hopped out and unhooked the vehicles and drove them separately through the booth it would cost me a total of $11, but hooked together it’s $16?” She gave me a blank stare and my wife told me to please just drive over the bridge. LOL! I hencefo
  8. Nice to see my complaints are still being taken seriously and Lemonaide Mouth has not returned
  9. I’m willing to try them if any of you want to do a test run.
  10. My sources tell me they will be offering special trauma services for people who’ve just received their Disney hotel bill.
  11. Rolls. Not buns. Cinnamon ROLLS. Buns are the things that the wild womenz pay a quarter to vibrate. I think. I'm not really all that familiar with such things. But Yvonne could explain.
  12. Many years ago, INC and took off in my little Saturn packed to the gills with a tent, cooler and assorted stuff, and headed west. We camped from Buffalo, NY all the way to Bainbridge Island, WA, up to British Columbia and east across the Canadian Rockies. One of the more memorable experiences was when we were camping in Yellowstone, and spent a day at the Boiling River. At one point, I was in the river relaxing with my back up against a rock outcropping, next to a waterfall where the hot spring water was gushing into the river. I couldn't hear anything over the roar of the water. INC was
  13. Say what you want. Blame it on COVID. Blame it on greedy executives. Blame it on politicians. But I'm here to settle the argument. Blame for the decline of Disney can be placed with one group, and one group only. The bakers. My proof? Circa 2010 Circa 2015 Circa 2019 Circa 2021 I rest my case.
  14. I’m glad to read that your girls have landed on their feet. I would have expected nothing less. I wish them the best in their post-Mouse lives. Anna is 13 years old. Yes, we’ve combined Anna’s trademark Russian attitude with teenage angst. Life in the DIT household is pretty active. While most of our friends are now empty nesters, we’re still firmly in Disney princess territory, which is really annoying for me being the anti-Disney guy I long have been. Like the country song said...I was anti-Disney before anti-Disney was cool. Lol. So all of these changes at
  15. I was curious about something regarding these AP prices, so I dug back into the DIT Vaults to see how much AP prices have increased during the last Decade of a Million Schemes. The last time I purchased AP's was in 2009, exactly 10 years ago. I paid $469 per AP that year. Taking that $469 and running it through the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Inflation Calculator, results in an Inflation-Adjusted price of $557. The equivalent non-FL Resident AP today, the Platinum Pass, is $1,119. So, even accounting for inflation, the price of a WDW Annual Pass has more than doubled i
  16. When tennis season is over on Long Island and hot yoga has become boring, what else are the Super Mommies to do but plan their next Disney trip?
  17. Would it make him feel better if you told him that Dolly increased the cost of annual passes as well? They jumped $15, from $114 to $129.
  18. Hey, you just reminded me that I was supposed to announce an upcoming event at Mickey's Backyard Massage Parlor and Casino....Throwback Thursdays! Wear your corsets and bring your buggy whips for no cover charge at the door, and half off well drinks.
  19. I love how the Mouse is able to create demand, thereby justifying higher pricing, simply by giving something a different name. They could probably create a new category for the 2000 loop called "Cultural Exchange and Excessive Refreshment Campsites" and charge 25% more.
