Hello From Orlando

No, I will not be riding Dumbo this trip either. Sigh.

Hi all. Right about now I’m sunning myself in lovely Orlando.

Ha! That’s a joke. I’m somewhere inside the frigid conference center, wondering if it’s sunny, rainy, hailing, or the middle of the night. There are two things that keep me going:

1. Coffee. It blunts the sleepyness caused by a 7 a.m. mandatory meeting.

2. Coffee. It gets me through the sluggish afternoons.

To answer your mental question (I’m skilled like that, you know): No, I will not be seeing Mickey Mouse anytime on this trip. I will not ride Space Mountain or the never-gets-old Back to the Future ride.

And I won’t be waiting in seven-hour lines to enter the world of Harry Potter. And you know what that means—I’m cranky because I’ll be thisclose to Hogwarts and I won’t even get to play a pickup game of quidditch. Nope, I’m suck with the rest of the muggles outside the parks.

So, if you were lucky enough to land in Orlando for the weekend and if you were doubly lucky to not have to spend daylight hours in a convention center, which one ride would you want to visit at Disney?

I think you know my answer.

Awww, well at least your are in a conference room somewhere out of town! I’d probably have to take it over to MGM and take on the Tower of Terror, my favorite. You’d probably melt in line anyways. Try to hit up City Walk or Downtown Disney for a taste of the parks.

Aw, yeah, that’s a bummer. I agree with Nichole though. Treat yourself with some good eats!

DUUUUUMBO! I don’t remember the rides over at Disney World, but I do like those scary, heart-in-your-throat-literally vertical drop rides. I love it

I hope you’re having fun in Orlando!

This is going to sound sad, but I’ve never been to any Disney park

I’m game for any ride that won’t make me puke

I would definitely love to visit Harry Potter land…but only if I could have the park to myself. I have no patience for lines and I hate crowds. I can dream, right?

That stinks… I would definitely ride Space Mountain. It’s the only rollar coaster I like.

Hang in there, sweetpea! I know how hard on the body, mind, and spirit conferences can be…but they’re worth it!

I went to Disney for Christmas…Soarin’ at Epcot is TOTALLY worth the wait in line with 50 million hot, hungry, and sweaty strangers. Seriously!

That is no fin to be in Orlando and have to stay inside living on coffee. I’ve never been to Disneyworld/land but maybe some day! So what ARE you doing there?
