Did you go to the Haunted Mansion? Did I miss that bit already? And what about Pirates?
See @OtherMichael? I’ve got all kinds of questions, don’t I?

Did I not mention the line for Haunted Mansion was like 5 mins, and Pirates was a walk on? Amazing, isn’t it? You know how sad I was that none of the long exposure Haunted Mansion shots worked out well?

Do you know that I’m envious though I’ve vowed not to go to Disneyland I miss going to Disneyland? Aren’t I so grateful for your photos and stories? And don’t the long exposures do it just right? The colors are all that’s needed, right?

Is there a loophole you can use to go to the park despite said vow?
Do you know how hard it is to get decent shots in the dark rides?

Doesn’t my wife insist we need to take Jr to Disney some time? Wouldn’t I rather gouge my own eyes out?

There’s a kids loophole I can’t use, right? Isn’t there some kind of an LSD loophole? And isn’t that Pirates photo just the right sort of Disney gender-weird? Aren’t I even more envious?

Why would you want to gouge your eyes out? Isn’t it really a strange, hyper-American, ultra commercial, deeply weird future simulacrum world full of fascinating bits and pieces, and loaded with meticulous, hyper-clever design that’s interesting to visit?

Don’t I quite like thrill rides, but dislike people, so the idea of a park with lots of people and really, really dull sounding non-thrill rides where the queue is part of the ‘experience’ really not appeal? Hasn’t everything I’ve ever read about the park from Doctorow made it sound worse?

So, you also left Disneyland and took some shots of the lovely cultural institutions of The South?

As I belated watch House of Cards (approaching end of series 1), am I meant to get infuriated by how stupid most of these characters are? If I keep watching, will it get more or less annoying?

Isn’t the BBC version is great and better with repeat viewing? The U.S. version lost my interest at some point, and I haven’t ever gone back to it?

Didn’t I read the book the British series was based on a few years ago, and vaguely remember the 80s show?

How was the book? Doesn’t it look good? And wouldn’t I want to watch any of the three BBC series again before finishing the U.S. version?

Have you actually been, though? You recognize Cory’s not exactly a reliable witness (as with many things, his spin is very much his own), that even with the crowds there’s just something remarkable and unique to the parks unlike anything anywhere else, and that the rides are anything but dull, but rather fascinating gems of ride craftsmanship, created with a level of care and detail in story development, theming, timing, and styling far beyond any other rides elsewhere, which is why the parks are full of large numbers of people who all hate crowds but still go there, right? Am I perhaps biased since I grew up in SoCal and hit Disneyland a lot and grew up watching Disney movies/shows?
Didn’t Walt have a thing for the cultural institutions of The South?
