I'd like to say I slept in and didn't get to the bus stop until 8:42 (according to the EXIF data) because I had the most amazing birthday's ever, but, in all actuality, I could literally barely walk at this point and it just took me a long time to get ready and physically get to the bus stop: The ride to Epcot was too short (bet you thought you'd never hear me say that, but by this point, any chance I got to sit down was a good one and Epcot isn't a park for sitting). Of course, my luck being what it was, they dropped us off at one of the furthest bus stations I've ever been to: It took me quite a while just to get to Spaceship Earth (and no, I didn't ride it, so yes, it's going to be one of THOSE days): There were at lot of walls though, and Disney has only gotten worse since. It's been my reasoning for why I don't want to go back (all the changes I don't agree with), but I also have issues with Florida in general, Disney management, an...

Ah, welcome back to the "fun" that was my 2021 Disney trip! I did slow these down a bit because they were coming too fast, even for me! Last you left me, I was heading back from the Magic Kingdom, in pain, but it was my Birthday, so I had plans. It was noon when I left, but it took forever for the bus to arrive, so it was 12:46 p.m. when I got back to the room: I tried to take a bit of a nap, but I think it was more of going through what I already bought, dealing with my feet, and dealing with the ant situation. By 3:30, when I headed out to Disney Springs, I looked like this (and normally I don't; a) take pictures of myself and; b) show pictures of myself, but this is important for the story narrative, so I'm allowing it...I'm tired-looking, puffy, and my goodness, the hair!). I went out in public like this people! Seriously? By the time I got just to the walkway (which was aways away from my room), I had to get to just beside where that tent is, which, ...

Day 2 finds me starting out pretty early in the morning (about 7:30 a.m.) to the Magic Kingdom (another bad step that will bite me in the tush...apparently I was determined to cripple myself on that trip, which is probably why every night ended at dusk). I was still trying to avoid people as much as I could, and I will say, for the first time ever, I did get a good shot of certain icons without people in my way: And, of course, being late September, not only was it my birthday (literally, on that day exactly), but it was getting close to Halloween time, my FAVORITE time of year! I walked down paths I'd normally ignore just to avoid the people: Saw my first couple of gold figurines for the 50th, here's Abu: But instead of heading directly to Haunted Mansion (as per usual), I headed to Pirates...another sign that this whole trip was an "off-kilter" for me: I will say, I was making more of an effort on my dark ride pics, and for no flash and motion rides, consider...
