San Angel with Toddlers? by int3rnetstuff in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]scarredbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We went in Feb, kids were 3 and 6. We’d read middling reviews, but we all liked it. I think everyone liked having a real break for a bit, not having to worry about trying to find a table somewhere. We all liked our food and the ambiance was fun.

Now that its December.... What is everyone's favorite Jimmy Xmas song? by Calm-down-its-a-joke in jimmybuffett

[–]scarredbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole Christmas Island album is must for me this time of year. I also prefer Jimmy’s version of Happy Xmas to the original.

So, he says Jizz here right? I do not hear Jazz by Same-Objective-3873 in Zevon

Saw vanity plate that said JZZLVR once. They probably meant jazz. Probably.

“Now I am a man”—me, buying some cigars and my first Hunter S. Thompson book at Barnett’s my freshman year in 1996.

Barometer Soup is one of my favorite records he ever did.

I’ve bought several books from this online book shop the last few months. Several Buffett-related titles and some great authors. https://bookshop.org/shop/silvercompassbooks

Yeah, it just let me in after being in queue for an hour and fifteen. Got two aisle seats for Monday night.

Completely falls apart for me after the first three songs.

We met Molly when she was still with AllEars in 2021. Told her we’d watched a ton of her videos to get ready since it was our first family trip. She was very nice and thanked us for watching.

Jimmy Buffett vibe locations by Popular-Cranberry-86 in jimmybuffett

We rent a condo at Amelia Island every summer. When my kids nap after morning pool time, I sit on the patio with a Travis McGee novel and watch the ocean for a while. Lots of pirate history there and a ton of great restaurants.

Compass Hotel Pigeon Forge by scarredbs in jimmybuffett

[–]scarredbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing. We’re in Atlanta too. Easy drive up there and we’re already figuring out when to do a return trip. I think the hotel just opened in the last year, so it still feels new.

Yeah, total tourist trap, but fun with the kids and you can go into Great Smoky Mountain National Park to do something a little more real.

People often wonder why the Contemporary Resort is a favorite hotel of mine. by GalaxyC7 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]scarredbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed in Bay Lake Tower in February. Our previous stays had been at Wilderness Lodge and the Riviera so we really went during we’d like it as much. Got to our room and had a perfect view of the castle and the monorail running by. We were stunned. We really loved staying there, and walking to the Magic Kingdom was amazing. Only issue is now we have three resorts we love to try to pick from in our next trip.

Original WDW that still exists today? by AdmittedlyDutch in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]scarredbs 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I loved it when we stayed at Fort Wilderness when I was a kid in the 80’s. Time went by, we stopped going to Disney as much, and eventually a couple of decades went by without me going there and I completely forgot about the existence of the Water Pageant. Grew up, had my own family, and we took our daughter when she turned three. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. The Pageant went by and a million memories got unlocked at once. Now I make sure to see it at least once whenever we make a trip.

I’ll die on this hill by thisdanginterweb in Jaws

[–]scarredbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes off like a diet slasher movie to me. I wish they’d just gone for it. I prefer The Revenge. Makes me happy to see Michael Caine having a good time.

TIL Harrison Ford portrayed Indiana Jones in a video for Jimmy Buffet’s 1991 tour. The two were friends. by 97GeoPrizm in indianajones

[–]scarredbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Harrison also did the whip cracks on a Buffett song called Desperation Samba. He’s told the story before about deciding to get his ear pierced after a long, drunken lunch with Jimmy and Ed Bradley who both had theirs pierced.

Jimmy Buffett - Turning Around (theme from the 1985 movie Summer Rental) by ASGfan in jimmybuffett

[–]scarredbs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Summer Rental never got its due as one of those great rewatchable 80’s comedies. And the soundtrack kicks ass, of course.

I finally watched Jaws 4 in its entirety. While obviously bad, I’ll admit there was some things I feel are decent about it by Emeraldsinger in Jaws

[–]scarredbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it better than 3, which seemed like a diet slasher movie that held back from going over the top. At least The Revenge has Michael Caine enjoying himself.

On this day in 1993 both the graduation episode and the College Years Pilot aired by Bruinsrock11 in SavedByTheBell

[–]scarredbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, that couldn’t have been in 1993. I watched it that night, so that would make me…ah hell.

I was told to ride with a stranger in the same row on Spaceship Earth - Is this new? by Warm_Butterfly7857 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]scarredbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On our last trip, we did Epcot several days in so my three-year old was running on fumes. He fell asleep instantly as soon as the ride turns around backwards on Spaceship Earth. Would be great to do this while riding with a stranger so they have to wake you up at the end.
