I'm sure the usual band of Midwesterners will cry bullshit, but I got a sun burn today, and I'm burned out. The high today in Orlando was only around 70, so I wasn't really thinking sunburn. Duh.
But I've also reached a limit of sorts in just roaming around with 15+ pounds of camera stuff on my back. I wish I knew how many miles I've walked the last three days. I felt some minor tightness when I woke up, but once I sat down today in my room, getting back up was a bitch. Mind you, I'm not complaining really, because I feel accomplished and generally pretty good. I even got to ride a couple of my favorite thrill rides here (Space Mountain and Tower of Terror). I would've liked to have done Rockin' Roller Coaster and Everest, but things weren't really going quite that way for me.
I did get to see some new things, and some ancient things as well. I saw the Monsters Inc. Comedy Floor (hilarious), and the Country Bear Jamboree for the first time in 32 years or so. Lots of shows and rides I either haven't seen in a long time or haven't been to period. There are a ton of other things that remain that I haven't seen. All the more reason to make use of that annual pass some more.
I was telling Diana that I think the ideal time to bring her down here is around the holidays, since she loves Christmas, and they sure do it right here. The Osbourne Family Christmas lighting at the studio park is amazing.
For all the commercialism that Disney is associated with, it's hard not to get sucked into these theme parks. And it's not just me. Over the course of my days here I've seen everything from giddy goth chicks to excited grandpas in walkers.
The bus doesn't pick me up until 2 something tomorrow afternoon, so I can have one last crack at the place if I want. I'm not even sure what I'd do. I spent the least time in Epcot, but the only thing I really want to do there is eat.
Good times, for being a mostly solo trip. Lots of time for reflection, even if it was in a crowd of 40,000 people.
