WDW Lost Girls Podcast (Coming Soon!) and the Disney Parks app for iPhone

So for those of you following along, you'll likely know that a friend and I have been working on setting up a podcast.  Obviously, this podcast is going to be Disney flavored and very much intended for adults only.  Rated 'M' for 'Mature,' folks, and we mean it.

We start recording soon, and already have a few guests lined up, so stay tuned!  In the meantime, make sure you check out her blog (linked above) because she tends to be less emotional and far more informative than my crazy ass.

In other news, I've broken down.  I got an iPhone, after years of swearing I never would.  Why?  It was free.  My stepdad was helping me set up my own plan and bought the phone for me.  I can't really complain about that.  I'll always be a google-Droid fan in spirit, so maybe in two years when I get my upgrade.  My number has not changed, though, so if you've got it, shoot me a text!

I think, aside from Siri, my favorite feature might be the Disney Parks app.  I've been dying to try this thing out for ages, and it's pretty cool even outside the parks.  It shows me the hours of operation for all of the parks in WDW and DLR, and even tells me what parade and showtimes are.  In the parks, it's supposed to give me total ride wait time and Fastpass information, so I'll be able to review that in more detail here in a couple months.

Finally, It looks like I may be in Colorado for another month, watching the wildfires rage on.  My mother is paying me for helping out around here, so I don't mind doing it too much (though I'm reaching an incredible level of exhaustion--I may just have to take a week-long coma when I get home) but it'll give me some time to make sure the podcast is ready to roll with Kristi, and maybe even make a few more appearances like....

WDW DIS-Cussion!

I made an appearance on their most recent show, so check me out!  I'd like to thank Ryan, Brandon and Chris so much for the opportunity.


I appeared alongside Derek Burgan, so make sure you listen to all the plugs and check us out.  The topic of discussion was what to do in WDW after the sun goes down, but we derailed quite a few times into other topics of discussion, including whether or not WDW bus drivers should ever be believed.  Very hilarious.

Till next time--which should be soon!

"World War D"

The Disney Turf War is back, and with a vengeance.

I've been without internet for a few days now.  As most people I've ever come in contact with know, I've been with my family and we've been in the process of a rather large move.  Unfortunately for me, this meant zero internet (minus my crappy phone).

In my absence, it appears that my facebook friends have come in contact with one another, and they fucking hate each other.  Or maybe it's not hate so much as taking words said the wrong way, and unleashing a shit storm over DISNEY PARKS.  It makes me wonder if these people have any idea what they sound like to outsiders.  The worst part is that they expect me to get involved.  Everyone wants me to rush to their defense, which is blowing my mind because I am no one's attack dog, no one's personal army.

Meanwhile, I have other people alongside me scratching their heads and wondering what the hell is going on and why this is even happening.  Well fuck you guys, you're all gonna catch it here when I'm on the WDW Kingdomcast.


Speaking of Podcasts, the WDW Lost Girls Podcast is coming soon!  Make sure you check out the sister blog, No Dancing on the Monorail.   Kristi and I will be your permanent hosts, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

Just Met Cindy Morgan and Bruce Boxleitner

And I'm one happy Disney Bitch.


(EDIT: Picture has been baleeted for privacy purposes.  I hated having to do this, but with the upcoming Podcast and my group of friends and everything, I don't want to flub anything up with Disney.)

Bruce is my guy.  Always was, always will be!  He's such a sweetie too, dealt with my stuttering and fumbling over my hands...I'm a little embarrassed of myself but I think I did rather well.  I didn't burst into tears of joy and completely mortify myself.

Cindy Morgan is an absolute BABE, too.  She's gorgeous, funny, kind, smart...Yori is by FAR my favorite Disney Princess.  ;)  I can't believe how wonderful she is, and I can't wait to read her book!  May even get to do an interview with her for this blog!

The image Aimee drew was beautiful--Cindy and Bruce loved their copies.  I'll get a scanned image of the signed picture for this blog soon.

Also just found out Michael Bay's 'Ninja Turtles' has been canned.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR (WO)MANKIND.

EDIT: Patrick the Bartender here at Embassy Suites is back for the Manager's Reception.  Drinking his custom drink, and it's fabulous.  TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.

Walt Disney on What's My Line

I don't have a whole lot to say today as nothing has really happened.  I do, however, want to keep the blog going strong, so here's a cute little video of Grampa Walt on a gameshow!  Whee!



Reminded of Disney in Our Current Accommodations

So we're currently at the Embassy Suites in Loveland, Colorado and this place is pretty awesome.  Everyone is friendly, it's close to shit, and it's freakin' nice.  Manager's Reception, free booze for two hours!  Lovin' that.

The pool and hot tub are nice as hell, too.  I'm...actually enjoying myself.  For once, I don't have much to bitch about.

There's something about this place that's kinda Disneylike too, actually.  Everyone on the staff wears a nametag with their hometown on it, house keeping is awesome (TOWEL ANIMALSSSS) and I'm actually kind of having a blast. :)

I just wish I didn't feel like shit.  The high altitude is kicking my ass.  I'm tired, headachy and nauseated.  Plus, there's that freaking wildfire in Ft. Collins, which is like...20 miles away.  Not cool.  Woke up this morning wondering who the hell was hard at work burning breakfast.

Anyway, till next time.

Getting the Hell Outta Dodge

Okay, totally pissed off right now.

So, the movers are still at the house, packing shit up and they shoulda been done ages ago, so Greg dropped us off at the hotel.  We're just chillen now, Airport Marriott in Greensboro, but it totally sucks here.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by Disney resorts.

Or maybe it sucks here.  No fridge in the rooms, 12.99 internet (though I get mine for free, DVC...but I think WIFI is going free soon if it hasn't already) and there's a bottle of water in all the rooms, tempting the kids.  Open it, that's 2.50, you gullible fuck.

I can't wait to get out of here and to Colorado tomorrow.  We stayin' in the Hilton Embassy Suiiiiites.

Just found out they have an open bar for two hours every night.

I'm so excited.

I can't wait.

No. Also, yes! Yes, yes, yes!

WARNING:  Massive bitch-fit incoming.  Skip to part 2 for the good news.


I ain't doin' this.  I outright refuse to be pulled into this WDW vs. DLR bullshit, and I can't believe it's an issue.  If you really feel like you have to fall all over yourself to make your favorite park look better, then you can go and eat a large helping of dogshit.

Tell you what.  For those of us who are normal, let's round up all these jackasses, put 'em on a Disney Cruiseliner, let 'em have at each other, and then have it sail directly into the center of the Bermuda triangle, and then NUKE THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF IT.

Earth has no use for you.



IN OTHER NEWS, I will be meeting Bruce Boxleitner and Cindy Morgan next weekend at the fiiiirst annual Denver Comic Con.  As someone who takes TRON very seriously, this is a really huge moment for me, and I'm really excited.

TRON: Uprising seems to be doing pretty well, and it's a generally enjoyable show.  I can't wait to see more of it, and hope that we may see TRON in Disney parks here in the near future again!

More on this later!
