I recommend a trip to counselor Yoda on the isolated planet of Dagobah.

If you don't understand what this means then reread your esaay you damn Fresnoians.

BTW Derek RULES!!!

Saturday, and we did do After Hours. I really liked the ending, the whole going to jail set up was neat.

Not sure if I agree with the actors try harder at HHN comments (once again, I may be a bit biased), as I have walked through several HHN houses (Run (especially), DoT, and screamhouse mainly) where the actors look very bored and don't really go for the scare.

Well, I would have to say they definately work better in teams to produce the scare. HHN seemed more theatrical, and more planned. I also liked the use of water - A LOT - did HOS use any spray effects like that... anywhere??

I have to agree! Any way, looks like a great trip! I really need to get down to Florida again soon!

^^After Hours had some water effects at the bar area.

Instead of creating yet another Photo TR for the awesome weekend, I figured I'd just piggyback here. If people see the pictures, great!

The only major fluck up for me this entire trip was the delay in getting there, causing an even greater delay. Airlines stink, especially when you have to take the last flight of the night because you don't want to take any time off of work, yet flying the next morning still wouldn't get you into the area until the afternoon, even if you took the earliest flight! :?r

Being all tired and travelled out, I forgot to unpack my camera when I finally got to Epcot and we high tailed it into the park, so there are no Epcot pictures from me. Instead, enjoy some Cypress Gardens!

Not much to report on from Disney, as I've been there like 5 times this year so far (I think that's the most visits I've had to one park, and I live 1000 miles away!)
