okay, so the trip wasnt all bad (although the badness was definitely factored in).

we stopped at magic kingdom after epcot on friday night. i hadnt been on space mountain in four years, so that was a huge must. i didnt care about the year long line, i wanted to ride. and out of nowhere, a woman came and offered us 2 fastpasses for the ride. she saved the night for me. i was sacrificing winnie the pooh for this-but with the fastpasses i didnt have to. and then-like it couldnt get better-aj ripped his shorts on the ride. i dont understand how, but he did, and i was pleased. i got him to go on winnie the pooh, peter pan, and to watch the fireworks.

the fireworks! i love fireworks. nearly live for them. in my whole life, i have never seen fireworks like at magic kingdom. it was the most beautiful, spectacular show ever! and with the castle lit up right in front. itd have been so romantic if aj wasnt right behind me rushing me out of the park. the fireworks made me believe in goodness for a few minutes.

i heard a little boy and his father having a conversation about wishes. and the father assured his son that if he made a wish at disney world, it would come true. part of me wanted to turn around and tell the kid is dad was a fucking liar-and to never wish for anything ever. but another part of me was so jealous. i wanted to be that young and still be able to believe in wishes. and now i know that when i have a kid, im definitely taking it to disney. i will spend any amount of money to instill the hope, faith, and inspiration that i believe disney creates. i could never explain the feeling magic kingdom gave me the other night. it was inside me so strong, and i knew i had to come back. and im going to. theres only one other place that ive felt the need to go back to before i die-san francisco. and i will.

anyways...the resort was very nice. it was the largest resort in the world with 5760 rooms. so, i was happy there.

the tower of terror was definitely terrorsome. all the hype for it is well deserved.

hmm..what else did i like about the trip? we saw the village. i heard not good stuff about it-but its good. that, too, was scary.

i did have a good time. a lot of it was plagued by the company i was with, but you really cant ruin disney world. i tuned him out as much as possible-which only got easier as the time passed. i am going to miss orlando so much. and amusement parks. the rush you get as youre getting onto a rollercoaster. its so great. theres no other feeling anywhere like it.
