epic disney trip

[kirks5oh]

not a huge fan of people just throwing around the term 'epic', but here's what i consider a fairly epic vacation story. i have a conference in orlando, and we've been to disney the last couple years. each year gets a bit more involved, with more activities. gonna be hard to top this year.


day one at the magic kingdom.

breakfast with the characters.

princess makeover

random shot on the dumbo ride

Awesome. I love to see kids having fun. That's what it's all about. EPIC if you ask me

here's another pic

decided at the last second to get a 'pirate makeover' with my 3 year old boy. kind of crazy--the wife and inlaws were making fun of me a bit. i walked around the magic kingdom for half the day dressed like this.

Building memories that will stay with them their entire life. Good on you as a parent

EDIT: Just saw the pirate picture. That is dedication! Awesome man!

Awesome, I'm in the shower right now getting ready to jump on the boat across Bay Lake to see the Christmas parade. We come at least once a year to camp. We're all older (21 plus) but its still fun.

Hey, why not? I'm sure your son loved you being dressed up too, making his own experience all the more fun and memorable. :thumbsup:

What a great family vacation time. Kids, and most adults, continue to love Disney World. ;-)

Very cool, OP...:beer: The kids looked like they had a great time...:rockon:

after all the harassment at the park by my wife/inlaws, i got a great idea:::

how funny would it be to just show up to a random car dealership dressed in full pirate attire, makeup and all, and just buy a new car??

you could imagine the looks i got at the dealership when i showed up dressed like a jackass, and the looks i got when i wrote the check for this

like a boss. its a new '13 premium GTR. just got it shipped to me yesterday, and haven't driven it much yet, but i can tell you this car is pure nuts from 0-80mph. like being shot out of a cannon.

I am in awe of your collection. Congrats on the purchase!:beer:

If you ask me what success in life looks like, this pretty much covers it

congrats on the purchase!

Nice GTR. My friend just bought the same exact car. That cars huals like no tomorrow. Mostly the fastest in your collection hands down. Have you tried the 4K race mode launch yet?

 

[04sleeper]

Looks like a fun trip!

Nice collection there! :rockon:

 

[VRYALT3R3D]

Awesome collection and it looks like you had an awesome trip!

Are you still keeping the GT500?

 

[cobracrazee]

Still remember my first time in Disneyland. Great collection, enjoy. You only live once

 

[Cobraluver]

wow very nice collection of cars :rockon:

 

[kirks5oh]

thanks guys.


haven't tried launch mode yet, still trying to get used to the car. the gt500 is going, one way or the other. the car was/is a massive disappointment to me--its been documented in the gt500 section here, but briefly

clutch went out at 171 miles with normal driving conditions and my 3 kids in the car---took 3 weeks to repair

rear end whined really loud---replaced pinion/ring gear---took 3 weeks. just got the car back-------and it still whines!! car has 1600 miles on it--most of which were breaking in the new clutch

Congratulations, Kirk. Your new GTR looks awesome. I love the color choice. I can well imagine how beastly it is from 0-80. :rockon: Sorry to hear you've been really unhappy with the GT-500.

haven't even used the launch control yet, and the car just flat-out hauls from a stand still. that, and the transmission in this car is absolutely incredible.

gt500 really spoiled it for me and ford, in the future. the dealer twiddled their thumbs and were not on top of the situation
