Disney Bound!

Well the Schaads are going to Disney one last time. I say "one last time" in a (futile) effort to prepare myself for Disney withdrawal, as our son Connor will be starting High School next year and it's an extremely competitive high school where the weakest of the herd gets thinned by wild pumas, and so taking him out of school to go to Disney - while an extremely noble cause - may be impossible particularly if we don't want him eaten by a puma.

Why not go in summer, you ask? Silly reader! As much as I love Disney, just the thought of being crammed into a sweaty throng thousands strong standing in line for "It's a Small World" is enough to make my skin crawl. No, we're definitely NOT crowd people and it's unlikely we would go during the peak season.

So the next possible trip as a family might be in 2018 when Cassie graduates from College. Hopefully she'll get a job at Disney World and sneak us in for free.

The other two questions you're asking yourself:

1. How on earth did you afford that Carl? Any tips for me?
Yes! Actually, it was quite easy. I did some research and there are these nice people in Romania* who will give you top dollar for internal organs. So I sold one of my livers and we're good to go! Apparently, livers are worth a lot.**

2. Will you be blogging like last time so I can get my Disney Fix vicariously?
This has yet to be decided. Alert Reader and Scrapbooker Tammy is leaning towards the blogging solution so that she'll have a record of the trip. I'm leaning towards selling my other liver before I blog again.* Well, okay I made that up. I may blog as a practice run for my forthcoming book: There and Back Again, A Hobbit's Tale. What? Oh, okay nevermind. Maybe: Confessions of a Mouse Pilgrim: A humorous look at Driving to Disney. It'll be an inexpensive PDF file with interesting photos and mildly amusing prose that you'll want to tell all of your friends, family, chiropractors, grocery clerks and convenience store denizens about.***

In the coming days I'll have some mildly amusing prose as we prepare for departure. Will we get hit by a hurricane even though we're planning to go after all of the hurricanes should be done? OR, will we get hit by a snow storm because we're planning to go after all of the hurricanes should be done? Stay tuned...


*Because my humor is rarely understood I'll just point out now that I know I only have one liver. I was born that way - please don't yell "FREAK!" in my direction it makes the little liverless man inside me sad.

**The Blog Hero legal team (that being Sven) requests that I add this disclaimer: The Blog Hero, Blog Hero Incorporated, Blog Hero Enterprises and the Blog Hero Super League™ in no way endorses the sale of livers, kidneys, hearts, tonsils or any other part of the body for money to go to Disney. Nor do we explicitly or implicitly suggest the sale of homes, pets or spouses, except maybe cats if you can get a good price for them. Cats I mean, not cat livers.

***Yes this was a thinly veiled excuse to use the word "denizen." Sorry.
