Had a great day in the park today! So many nice things happened -- too many to write about now. But in short:
• Crowds were reasonable. I’d say average or perhaps a little less that average.
• I was the first in the park and got my great customary FITP pic.
• The scoring on Buzz worked like a charm! Finally! Every single ride I took, the scores came through. That hasn’t happened in months if not years. Contrast that with last Sunday when only five of fifteen came through. Maybe raising the issue with Guests Experiences did the trick. Several people here expressed their skepticism that any good would come of my letter. Seems that it has .
• The First Mate (the drunk pirate that talks to the cat) is finally back on POTC. But now there are two cats.
• I met two nice sisters from Japan. I took two years of Japanese in college and spoke with them a bit. But they both spoke excellent English so nearly all of our conversation was in my mother tongue. I explained about single-rider lines and actually walked them to the Space Mountain exit, where they could later get in the SR line. The highlight: they both asked how old I was. I asked them to guess. The younger sister guessed 35. I’ll take it – I’m actually 51 ;-). People always think I’m much younger than I am. I ascribe that to good genes and a healthy diet. No meat, sugar, fried foods or alcohol. I also eat plenty of raw food daily.
• Lastly, I just completed a new pilot script. I write for a music magazine so this comedy has to do with people that work in the industry. I emailed a friend who’s a two-time Grammy winner and has a strong relationship with a big rock star (can’t say his name now but you’ve all heard of him, I’m sure). His friend also runs a production company. He liked the last script I sent him and forwarded it to his friend (the rock star). Today he said he’d love to see my new script. Best news I’ve had all month!
Several other cool things happened but I’m beat and heading off to bed. May post more tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some pics. Maybe I’ll add captions later.
Us at rope drop.
