Screamin' Good Fun.
It’s always nice when our expectations come to pass, even when they’re a sure bet. Sort of like knowing that the Yankees are going to beat the Red Sox in the playoffs till the end of time. It never gets old.
Another fine thing that never gets old is riding the Tower of Terror at Disney. As I mentioned a week ago or so, the brood and I were on our way to Disney, and if all went well, it wouldn’t be long before the older lad and I would be riding the Tower of Terror, screaming like little girls and trying not to poop our pants.
Well, I’m pleased to report that all went as planned. I shrieked. The lad screamed. Nary a pair of shorts was soiled, and the adrenaline rush lasted till lunch. What a fine thing.
Anyway, the rest of the trip went exactly as any parent who’s done it would expect; it was, by turns, incredibly hot, fun, expensive, exhilarating and exhausting… all at the same time. Moreover, at Disney the service is always great, everyone is always smiling and everything just simply works.
Of course the curmudgeon in me is always sure that it will never be as fun as the last time, and yet, it always is. Sort of like watching the Yankees beat the Red Sox. Again.
