DISNEYYYYYY
Hello all from the long, boring summer days! Here is the picture story I promised about MGM from last week. The only pics I don't have (which I am greatly saddened by) are:
The Hollywood Hotel Tower of Terror (which I sat out because I'm terrified of it)
A Store called "Couture"
Wes and I riding Segways @ Epcot
So! Heeeeereeee we go!
This trip was kind of a blah one for me, namely because it was abnormally hot, humid, and crowded that day. Also...my pass kept messing up between parks. By the end of it, Wes was calling me 'Grover' because to top the day off my ice cream he bought me fell off of my stick and onto the concrete after about 5 licks. If no one was looking I would've totally picked up the chocolate pieces off of the ground and eaten them. 5 sec rule even applies at Disney.
But I'm always a little happier when I see Mickey. ESPECIALLY AMERICA MICKEY!!!! There was a huge store that sold all kinds of Disney collectibles and house things. I decided that when I get rich, I'm buying the store.
Then we went to this little theater in MGM that told the story of Walt Disney's life and contributions to America. It was actually really cool. There was his desk from 2nd grade with "WED" carved in it (Walter Elias Disney, duh) and models from every ride ever built. The coolest part was the model weenies (or main center pieces of each park) set out on display. This is of Belle's Castle in Disneyland Paris, which I think is absolutely gorgeous. If I get married there (when I'm rich of course), whoever reads this post can come to the park with me.
Daisy the bookie was just outside the door taking bets.
Look familiar? It should. It's basically Mickey Mouse but in Rabbit form. This was Disney's first major cartoon. He lost the rights to Universal shortly after and thus, Mickey Mouse was born. Only this year did Disney reaquire the rights back to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. COOL HUUUUH?
These kids I used to know from middle school were waiting outside to get my monies I had just won off of the bookie.
This woman, named Lucky Star, was a street performer. While Wes was riding Tower of Terror alone I was outside waiting when she pulled up. She just happened to be the talent agent to the stars with a strooonnng new york accent and a mouth to match. All you had to do was go up, tell a joke, and you'd get a trinket. One kid started to get up but stopped (he was about 11...a GINGER at that), and she started picking on him like crazy. She said "Hey, kid, how about you stop bein' a little brat and come up he-ah to tell ya joke? Huh? Everyone look at him! Look at him bein' a little brat. Stare at him so he gets embarrassed and comes up he-ah! Stare! Laugh! Okay...who's next?" The kid left. Some little black kid played the ghetto card with, "What do ghetto horses eat?...HAYYYYYYYY." Mine was a little pale in skin tone, but it was the pokemon joke of "Why don't you bathe with your pokemon?They might pik-a-chu." LAME but she thought it was funny and I got this out of it....
We hit up Sorcerer Mickey after lunch. Notice my awkward stance. One pic the handler/photographer took makes me look like I'm falling on top of him and he's barely catching me (I was told to hug a 4'10'' person in this Mickey suit), but I don't want to pay the $20 to get it to post on here. SORRY BRAHS.
So that's it, kids. I'll be back next week with more pictchas. And funnier ones.
♥ always...
