After checking in to our first hotel (we're moving somewhere way cheaper this morning), we headed to Downtown Disney for a quick sandwich.
After we ate, we caught the shuttle to The Swan hotel, then we got the water ferry to Disney Studios. If we could have taken a bedouin caravan, our day would have been complete.
My top priority at Disney Studios was seeing the Muppets. The Muppets are from my generation. They're a group of monsters I can understand. I'm dreadfully out of the loop on princesses and High School Musical.
So Muppets 3-D it was. And it was cool. Nothing like the 3-D stuff we're used to. These things were in our face. Fozzie played a prank on us and squirted water from a flower on his lapel. And you know what? We got sprinkled!
Statler and Waldorf, of course, were in the balcony the entire time heckling the Muppets. Sweetums made a live appearance. It was completely cool.
After that, we just wandered around. If something looked interesting, we went in--if we could stand to wait in line. We managed to see the Chronicles of Narnia show, which was alright. I'm a literary sort and have read the entire series, so this was fun for me. Tim liked the swords.
Speaking of Tim, the conference where he's presenting is in the hotel. It's for geotechs (dirt and rocks). Since the rock hounds like to drill, this is the hands-on part of the conference:
A real barn-burner, huh?
Anyway, we're off to the Magic Kingdom today. Wish us luck!

Is it wrong of me to admit that I remember those 3D glasses from when they used to use them for Captain-EO, starring Michael Jackson?
ReplyDeleteAnd if that's really what they are, Tim will appreciate that they work by being polarized with a different polarization for each eye. I won't let you escape Disney completely dork-free. :)
Have fun at Disney :) Good luck today, Tim!
