A shiny new Tesla, with 15 miles on it​

"While I was watching a rocket lifting some of my friend's satellites into space from my driveway yesterday, my new electric Tesla car was delivered to that driveway."

Contrail of rocket from my street, 1 minute after Tesla arrived​

That Walt Disney World trip I went on with the family...

...continued... Animal Kingdom

They have a drive through zoo. You are in a big truck sort of like one of those "duck tours" vehicles.

Kilimanjaro Safari (went on it twice)

If you are into Avatar they have a nice nighttime display.

Kali River rapids (went on it twice)

Riding the bus.
I think most people can't grasp the size of Disney World. The entire place is about the size of Paris. If you are staying in a hotel on their property you usually would take buses (or the monorail) to get around inside. This whole video is within the Disney World gates and the 3 lane highway is theirs. To say they have a lot of land to build things is an understatement.

A negative was there were no cell phone charge areas. Not sure why. You can still hand it to Guest Relations and have them do it for free but nobody wants to do that.

That Walt Disney World trip I went on with the family...

Disney's Hollywood Studios (previously known as Disney-MGM Studios)

First off I have to say I didn't like this park much. It just didn't feel right..I think it had a poor layout. Plus it seemed too small. No electrical outlets to charge phone (WTF)..not very memorable. I believe most of the food there sucked.

So Disney has a special boat ride service from Epcot/certain hotels right to the Hollywood Studios gate entrance...which I have to say was pretty damn cool. I'll give it a thumbs up.

Tower of Terror (went on it twice because one of my kids liked it) I'll give it a "C-" grading.

Frozen Sing-Along Celebration (kids liked it). I'll give it a B-

Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage. I'll give it a C

Voyage of the little mermaid. I'll give it a D

Didn't do much in Toy Story Land. Rollercoaster line too long.
Didn't do much in Star Wars Land

So I'd call Hollywood Studios someplace to skip.

Next up: Epcot

It was light years ahead of Hollywood Studios. My parents had a condo in Florida and I was down there 2 years in a row so I ended up there twice.

@Gomig-21 you J*ck*ss I hate freakin' spiders!!!!

lol, the funny thing is that it was abandoned, but was hard as a rock! Amazing how petrified it was and that wasn't the only one either. I had another one on the dashboard tucked right at the windshield joint! The thing came off in one piece and I saw a cocoon embedded in it, but it was also vacant thankfully. Last thing I need is those things settling in all the wiring and electronics I have on that thing that aren't cheap by any means!

Look at these bastards lol.

Here's one that resembled the other one I pulled out with the cocoon in it.

I am not a Harley guy myself, but I do love all motorcycles.
