First of all let me get something straight. This is a JOURNAL not a diary. I know what the name of this blog is but when Mom made me this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her to pick a title without the word “diary” in it. Great. Now all I need is for some kid to catch me looking at this website and get the wrong idea.

Walt Disney World

For the first time in forever (well, since 2009), we went to Walt Disney World. I had quite a time. We did all 4 parks: Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom.

I wasn't completely healed yet, so I couldn't do everything I wanted, but here's some of my favorites.

Magic Kingdom:
Pirates of the Caribbean
The Haunted Mansion

Hollywood Studios:
The Great Movie Ride (Dark ride through classic movies)

Epcot:
Soarin
Spaceship Earth (Dark ride through time)

I didn't have a favorite at Animal Kingdom, but here are some photos.


Cinderella Castle (Magic Kingdom)
 The Great Movie Ride
 Epcot Entrance
Tree of Life (Animal Kingdom)

That's all for now. The next park will be Santa Cruz. Goodnight Everybody!

Pirates of Emerson 2014

This Friday, I went to Pirates of Emerson. I must say, it was an improvement over last year. The drought forbade a corn maze, but they did have Wild Woods, which is where the chainsaw guy was this year. They also had Mental Maze, Pirates of Emerson, Buried Alive (which is so dark, you have to use a flashlight to get through), Virus, and my personal favorite, the Attic. Here are some photos.


 Hello, Virus Nurse!
 Hanging out.
Mental Maze greeter.
That's it for now. Next up: Halloween Haunt at Great America!
