teal'c got sick on the mad tea party (spinning tea cups) ride.

mitchell got a date with the woman playing cinderella and the one playing snow white.

jack got sunburned when he fell asleep at blizzard beach.

daniel got lost while looking for a bathroom in the park; twice.

sam quietly cried in her room nearly every night. her mother was a fan of everything disney; the movies, the collectables & the music. she had forgotten until they arrived at the park, nearly every character they saw stirred up a new memory. coming there made sam realize how much she still missed her.

[skieswideopen]

Aww, poor Sam! I love that idea...we know so little about her mother.

[lilyleia78]

The first four were written quite some time ago, but when I saw the prompt I just couldn't resist re-posting. Hopefully that's ok? They are proof of the fact that of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most.

~~~~~~~~~~

Animal Kingdom's "Tree of Life". The tree is 14 stories high, with over 300 animals carved into it's roots, branches and trunk. The inside is where they have the "Tough to be a Bug" 3D show. Which is kind of fun in a creepy way. Anyway...it's biiiiig. photos just don't do it justice. It's really biiiiiig. Here's a quote I found describing it: "Over 325 animals, ranging from a grasshopper to a lion, are carved on the Tree of Life and over 103,000 leaves were individually placed on the branches. The tree is 145 feet tall and its trunk is 50 feet wide. The tree and its roots spread out 170 feet."

SG-1 arrives at the big honkin' Tree of Life:Teal'c: "That is a fitting tribute to this planet

SG-1 visits Disneyworld #2.

Magic Kingdom's Snow White: This "dark" ride takes you through the story of Snow White. Including the existentially conflicted hunter, dark forest, evil wicked witch, and the seven dwarves. We're not talking high tech, or politically correct stuff. Although, the scenery is painted in a nice way that echoes the cartoon. The carts the guests ride in are all named after the seven dwarves. They can also fit two adults in each row...so four people can travel together.

Along the way you get to see inside the dwarves house and their mines. You also get to chase after the wicked witch with them. That would be after she abandons Snow White to the forest, then goes after her to feed her the tainted apple. (apple of knowledge, anyone?) Eventually Prince Charming shows up and does his thing. Any other thoughts about the dwarves living arrangements are better left for another time..

SG-1 survives the Snow White ride... and each other:Jack: "There ya go docs, just for you a cart named Doc

Aw, thank you! Teal'c would love that ride. :)

Jack: "Hey, Am I going to have to pull this theme park over by the side of the road?"
Teal'c: "I do not believe that is possible O'Neill."

LOL LOL! So Teal'c.

SG-1 visits Disneyworld #3.

EPCOT: Spaceship Earth. First, here's a little background information: spaceship earth is a really uber-cheesy baaaad ride about the history of human communication. It starts with cave folks painting stuff on walls, then wanders through ancient egypt and greece, the burning of rome, the renaissance, telephone operators in the late 1800's, present times, and then on to the space-age world. It ends with a view of a glittering future metropolis complete with pretty pretty lights. (Since I wrote this it's been redone. It's still cheesy in a delightful way.)

SG-1 contemplates a bit of history.Daniel: "They got those cave paintings wrong. Look, that one's even backwards

I also like this ride with it's fun cheesiness. Daniel's whines were terrific - I literally laughed out loud at, "Look, that one's even backwards." =D

Re: SG-1 visits Disneyworld #3.

[jenlev]

I will admit to historical bitching myself, although I do love the ride and the cheese as well. :)

And thank you, I'm so glad you laughed! I like to think that the team would ultimately have fun in WDW. :)

SG-1 visits Disneyworld #4.

Disney's Studios - Star Tours. This ride lasts for a few minutes of gleeful fun. It's a flight simulator that one reaches by meandering through a line that goes through a Star Wars space port, complete with worker droids and a few aliens (after Return of the Jedi.). This includes life sized somewhat-working models of R2-D2 and C-3PO. the outside of the ride is set up too look like an Ewok village. oh, and there's a 35-foot-tall imperial walker by the entrance.

The pilot of your little space trip is a robot who's never made the trip before. I know, you've 'got a bad feeling about that'. Once you settle in you're supposed to go to the Moon of Endor, but end up flying through a comet and attacking an Imperial Star destroyer. Then you return to the space station and crawl out to a cool store that sells Yoda masks, Yoda pez, and shot glasses that proclaim you are a Jedi master. Everyone should have some of this stuff.

SG-1 checks out "Star Tours"Jack: "Teal'c, you gotta try this

Hehe. The team are great.

Yay for laughter, and yay for the team. :)
