Having fun: Disney World...
So, went to Disney World for a week with the fam. Scott Van Pelt got behind me in line at one point, so I got to meet him. That was kind of cool. P.S. He's tall as @#$^!
So what'd I miss?
- Players got arrested, run em till they puke and move on.
- Auburn lost, the people celebrate.
- Spring ball updates?
Anything else of note? DW is fun, but you don't get a lot of R&R there. Glad to be back.

What days did you spend at DW ?
The days? Was there Sun to Thur. Sat and Fri were travel days.
I was there all last week. Never seen it that crowded but my wife is a Disney pro so no waiting to do anything.
I am a Disney World Junkie. Not necessarily a fan of the mouse or the movies, but I love WDW. I was fortunate to have done some artwork for them last year and my family was (unexpectedly) treated like royalty for a week when I delivered (in person, of course. Not typical protocol unless it's the happiest place on earth).
It was my first trip ever. And honestly got to say it exceeded my expectations. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I appreciate a job well done, and those folks do a fine job down there.
Is there someplace we can see what you did @JoelSidneyKelly ?
It’s all in the planning. Have a schedule and take advantage of the fast pass system. Like I said my wife needs to work for DW, she’s got it down to a science.
It is hanging in the Conference Center (named after the man in the portrait) at the Grand Floridian.
Dude, that is awesome !
That’s so cool, thank you for sharing! I love going to DW but most of my time is spent at Epcot (mildly inebriated so that probably doesn’t help) so I didn’t recognize him. However, my wife did the college program and she recognized him immediately. Did you get to stay at the Grand Floridian when you went?
@JoelSidneyKelly
That's fantastic! We ate dinner in there one night. That hotel lobby is unreal. It's got to be one of the classiest places they have down there. I will definitely show my wife this post later.
Glad to know my portrait resembles him! He was a wonderful man and a Disney rock-star.
We did stay at the Grand. With a theme park view. And got fifteen walk-on fast passes.
I will be honest.... I don’t look forward to the day I have to to take the family there. I know it’s coming. Just don’t like parks that have crowds. Or crowds in general. People touching me and always being on alert... wears a bro out. It’s a crazy world.
However, I have to say @JoelSidneyKelly bro that is really cool! Awesome picture and y’all should have been treated like royalty. I’m sure it took a minute to create.
@JoelSidneyKelly I knew you were talented by what you usually post here but WOW. That is amazing. I don't know the first thing about art but I love to see it in just about any form. You need to have a show so I can go and enjoy it.
Like to share a DW story. Took the family back when my daughter was about 10. This will be short version. We made a mistake and used up our 1st day pass for only a few hours the 1st night we were there. Once we realized the mistake, we decided we would cut the trip short one night and use that money to purchase another days pass. So I went to the office near where we were staying explained what had happened in details that I've left out here. The guy at the counter told me to hold on while he went to the back for a bit. Came back out with 3 free passes with the hopper feature I think it was called which we had not got for any of the days that we had purchased. Didnt have to shorten trip and got free passes. Have to admit I got a little lump in my throat
If it makes you feel better, I felt almost exactly the same way before we went. But I had a great time in spite of it.
@RPMdawg That Disney magic.
We can say it's for real
Ditto on that. I dont like crowds either. It ended up not being anything like I thought. Took advantage of the fast pass or what ever it was called a few times.
Lol. Didnt know until I got there, but I was our pack mule. Used a book bag to carry whatever we may need. We froze bottles of water . As it thawed we drank it while standing in lines at rides
Took wife down back in mid Jan, that’s the perfect time. Cool temps, crowds not so bad. Last week was to celebrate my daughters 5th bday, big crowd and cranky kid makes for long days but well worth it.
