Anyone Game? Two Castles and a Road Trip TR!
Anyone Game? Gday.
And welcome to my Two Castles and a Road Trip TR.
And yes, you read it right. TWO Castles (and a road trip in between).
I dont mean any combination of the 3 castles that seems to exist in Magic Kingdom right now .I mean the Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland.....

.....and the Cinderella castle at Magic Kingdom.

This TR will cover the 27 days that I was on vacay for and it will probably be picture heavy.
If a picture paints a thousand words. Just like in the song, I started this vacay when my love for life was running dry. It had been a pretty hard year at work and with real life; so I was in need of a battery recharge real bad. I found my love for life in spades......

If a picture paints a thousand words; and if you can find a dozen words to describe something, Ill be the one managing to do it in a hundred. Or more. Feel free to count up and let me know the final tally at the end.

If a picture paints a thousand words and I use about 100 words to describe each picture, then were all gonna be here for a TR bigger than Tolstoys War and Peace. By my current rough count, Ive come home with somewhere between 9,000 and 10,000 pictures. You can do the maths.

If youve made it this far and still plan to stick with me, I thank you for coming along on the ride. I really appreciate your feedback and hope that you'll end up posting; rather than just lurking along.
Should you feel the burning desire, my itinerary for this trip and the PTR can be found here. But before you click on the link, you should know that the PTR is more of a blog and there are over a year of posts there.
Which means weve come to the DISClaimers section that I tend to stick up in any of my TRs.
DISclaimers.

DISclaimers.
- I hereby absolve all responsibility for any therapy that you might want to claim as a result of reading through this TR. Just remember .we are in an open forum and it is your choice to read along......right? And who knows? We might end up being 2D friends in a box along the journey.
- I openly acknowledge that this TR will cover more than the standard WDW content on this section of the boards. If any mod feels like it doesnt strictly meet the guidelines of DisContent, well .please PM me. But it just doesnt seem to make sense to me to break this report up into at least four sections (Disneyland, California and beyond, where-the-heck-do-I-stick-the-roadtrip-component-because-I-sure-aint-posting-it-on-the-Community-Board-section, WDW and Universal Orlando). I would hope that the mods will just turn a blind eye until about Day 16 or 17; when I finally get to WDW.
- Despite the road trip through Arizona, the itinerary did not include hitting the games board in Vegas. Anything that did not happen in Vegas, does not stay in Vegas.
- Despite the road trip, I sadly did not literally take the left fork at Alburquerque. I did try hard to include it in; but it just didnt fit. Happily, I will guarantee that I will figuratively take the left fork at most possible turns during this TR.
- Food porn is usually a feature in my posts. Anyone who feels strongly about food should be eaten and not photographed please be aware that no correspondence will be entered into on this matter.
- As always, deviations and deviants off-topic are usually another feature. Dont worry its not you, its me (although if you stick around, you could discover that it is you too .we just dont know for sure yet).
- Above all else .lurk if you must but I would appreciate you posting and providing input and feedback into our blog! Afterall How else is this going to be am I going to get deviations and deviants? NOTE: I really do mean FUN!! FUN!! I mean FUN!!
