Now that my basketball previews are all done I want to talk about anything else. Today I want to tell you all about my family trip to Disney World.

I had never been to Disneyworld before. My kids have never been and my wife has not been since she was a child. Her and her dad have been planning this trip since 2020. We were supposed to go in October of 2020, but COVID. And we kept pushing it back. We all felt safe enough this year, especially since my wife and I got our Omicron booster a week before. So we did it. I do also want to let everyone know that we did not pay for this trip. My wife's father has wanted to take us on a trip for a long time, my daughter's birthday was coming up and we pulled the trigger. I saw a ton of people with shirts that said stuff like "Most Expensive Day Ever", or, "Now, I'm Broke". We do not have to worry about this, but if we had to pay it would have been a totally different trip. Just wanted to get that out there. But we did it, we went. I flew on a plane, and it was surprisingly safe. About 1/3 of the passengers wore masks and we were able to stay in our own personal bubble.

What I really want to talk about is the parks we visited. The first full day we were there we went to Epcot. I was blown away. Epcot has that big golf ball looking sphere. It is amazing to see in real life. It was incredible. The park itself was awesome too. This is the spot we saw the most performers. We met a ton of dressed up actors. From Rafiki to the Penguin from "Mary Poppins", we saw a bunch. I also took lots of pictures of my kids posing with them. The rides I did were neat. They were VR, but damn did they feel real. My daughter and I did one where we went to Mars and I felt a bit nauseous at one point, in a good way. The food was on point. There was a Food and Wine festival so maybe that was why. But the pork lettuce wraps I had were dynamite. I also really enjoyed walking through all the countries. Every block you turned was somewhere new. From Mexico to Germany to France and beyond, it was all covered. It also smelled great. Even the iced coffee was solid. We even did a "Beauty and the Beast" singalong and it was wonderful.

The next day we went to Hollywood Studios. Walking into the park was like walking into old Hollywood. It was dope. As we got further into the park we ended up at Galaxy's Edge, which is Star Wars world. This was amazing. It was my favorite spot of the whole trip. The food was great. The features were amazing. The Millenium Falcon ride was rad. The performers were on point. My wife said she was starstruck when she saw the Kylo Ren actor. My son got a stormtrooper mask and was talking to the stormtrooper actors. He loved every second of it. I was totally blown away. We also did a "Frozen" sing along here and it was more fun than the day before. I truly loved Hollywood Studios, although RD was bummed I wouldn't buy him a lightsaber. They were very expensive.

On my daughter's birthday we went to Magic Kingdom. This was her choice. She wanted to see the castle they show before Disney movies, so we went there. It was wonderful. This park is definitely geared towards kids, and my kids had a blast. We rode Dumbo, The Great Goofini, my wife and kids did Space Mountain, we rode the teacups, we had lunch at a Space Mountain type of diner, we did all that we could. We had Dole whip, we watched a parade. My father in law got to see a barbershop quartet. We walked around the castle. It was an exhausting yet amazing day. My daughter couldn't have been happier.

On our last day we went to Universal Studios. I was most pumped for this. And when we walked in we saw Simpsons Land. It was truly a sight, for me, to behold. I was in my happy place. I was snapping all kinds of pictures. I couldn’t believe my eyes. We went to Krusty Burger for lunch, and this is when it all went downhills. The line was a glacier. It took well over an hour to get a cheeseburger. The burger was fine, but not worth waiting over an hour for. After lunch my wife wanted to go to Harry Potter World. We made our way there, but it was so packed we could not even go into a shop. We all wanted ButterBeer, but the wait was longer than that at Krusty Burger. We could barely move because of all the people. My anxiety was through the roof. My wife was frustrated. My kids were spent by that time. We cut that visit short. We were only there for three or four hours. It was the only misstep of the whole trip in my opinion. I don't know if it was because we went on a Saturday, or because it was early October or what, but it was far, far too crowded. We just did not want to deal with it.

Now when people ask me how my trip to Disneyworld was I tell them, I am glad I went, it was amazing to see, my kids had a blast and I loved it all being outside, but I do not ever have to go again. I'm very happy I did, and I will always remember this trip. But I just do not see any reason, unless my kids want to, go back. I loved it, and if you can I definitely recommend going. It is worth at least one visit in your lifetime.
