sept 5th part deux

Ok yeah so I know that this didnt come up on wed like I said and that their was nothing yesterday. Well too bad. In the words of jack dangers "and away we go!"

SO we went over to the disney bus depot area and decided we were going to go to MGM next. Well we waited and waited and waited and no bus was coming so a bus we getting ready to leave for epcot so we were like "lets go for it" so we sprinted the 10 feet to get to the next bus and barely made it on. Ok that last little bit was added for dramatic effect it was more of a leisurely walk but anyway so yeah we then went to epcot and first up was this ride called Soarin. Its new to disney and OMG it rocks. It is a simulator but its like hang gliding sim and your sitting on seats where your legs can dangle and then it lifts you up and puts you into this huge movie screen that totally surrounds you. Then you start soarin and its just tooo cool. A definite for anyone who goes to epcot. Next we went on Mission space which was ok. The first part of it was cool where they are launching you into space and then I thought everything else was forced and weak. Nuff said. Then we decided to venture to MGM. Once their we went on the great american movie ride which is very disneyish and pretty cool. Next up was Aerosmiths rocking roller coaster which was also really cool. Think outer limits but with neon road signs instead of pitch blackness and aerosmith music pumping from your head rest. It was pretty cool. After that we went on the tower of terror which was not what I thought it was going to be. It was more like a yo yo than drop zone so we were both quite surprised. After that we did this Drew Carey sound stage thing which just flat out sucked. litterally 12 min in the dark listening to Drew Carey talk. Absolutely weak.

So at this point it was about 4ish and we decided to start making the trek back to Ft lauderdale to get checked in and squared away. Ok the 3 hour drive sucked b/c it rained almost the entire time and when I speak of rain I speak of florida flash flood like rain. SO the drive blew. then we got into FLL and got bombshell #2 dropped on us which was that we had to do another time share, the next morning at 9:30am GRRRRRR I was really pist. SO anyway we were told like 15-20 min to the hotel so we got in our car took our directions and were off. About a half hour later we realized the directions were wic (Language lesson time!!! if you dont know "wic" is what the youth in N. Ireland say and it means rubbish. Rubbish=garbage and in the US we substitue crap for garbage so saying something is wic is like saying its crap but much more fun! Now you try to use it in a sentence!) and despite the fact that we were not lost we were most certainly not where we wished to be. SO we figured out what to do and finnaly made it to the hotel. Again we were promised meals at this hotel and we got checked in and then went to get some dinner. It was just shy of say 9:00 pm and guess what the restaurant closes at 9pm! I was like your joking right and the chick was like uh no. SO we were very mad and very very hungry so off to find someplace to eat dinner. Ok in case you were ever thinking of going to FLL dont. Its just that simple. all that is their are bitter old people. We drove for like 20 min and finnaly stopped at this place that we effectionaltly called "The Steak Monarchy" i.e. burger king. And grapped a bite. Then on our way back lisa is like hey we passed a cvs you want to stop and get something for dessert? Im like sure sounds good. SO we pop over to cvs and its about 9:59 now and guess what???? CVS closes their at 10 pm!!! 10 friggin PM. SO we are really cheesed at this point and go back to the hotel. I discover thye have a candy vending machine and well yeah. I go and get change and we blew about 5 bucks in the vending machine and just laughing our heads off over what we are doing and how we are like little kids buying tons of candy. SO we scoot back to the room and eat snickers and skittles and m&m's and all that kind of good stuff. After that we went to sleep. Now I didnt know if I would put the next part in this post or not but im going to. At about 3:30am we hear the door next to ours slam shut and a woman scream in terror. Then for the next 2.5 hours we got to hear a drunk couple argue and slam doors. Let me tell you it was lots of fun. LOTS. then around 6am she locked the dude out and he proceeded to bang on the door for a half hour cussing her out before he went and slept it off under a palm tree or on the beach who knows. SO our first night in FLL totally blew! But things are going to get better so dont feel too bad for us. Thats all for now.

Cheers!

the "soarin" ride sounds a lot like the "flying over california" ride at Disneyland. And yeah those kind of rides are really cool.
