Nine Eleven Decade

Oh noes, I must have forgotten my mousepad login info. Oh well.

I wasn't in the Park that day, but I'll never forget them closing the Sleeping Beauty Walk-thru in the middle of mouse adventure on the day we started bombing Afghanistan roughly a month after nine eleven. There was a quest that took you thru the walk-thru and - like many mouse adventure unplanned glitches - we "wasted" time on that, while every team ended up getting automatic credit for the quest since it became un-doable mid-game. Heheh, not fair - but it was the last time we'd see the inside of the castle for about 8 years, and the very last time we'd see the hokey '70's version of the walk-thru.


Oh, also, thanks to the uber-patrioticness flooding the soul of the nation that year, Disneyland's 2002 Fourth of July fireworks were the Best Fireworks Show Ever in the History of Mankind.





Back more on track, but following this tangent a bit - - - We STILL have the absolutely useless Disneyland Bag Check to slow down and uglify our entry to the theme park area of the Resort. Pfft, I smuggle contraband into the Park on a regular basis, and could easily bring in a gun, a vial of anthrax, or even a small bomb with no effort. Stupid, lame, Nine-Eleven nonsense still with us.


Heheh, I guess it's the only part I personally deal with, since I'm not (yet) a terror suspect or anything like that - - and I doubt the government knows any more about me than facebook does. But I'm a privileged white boy living in Southern California. I think there's lots of people still living with the repercussions of nine eleven, and ten years is enough. Let's stop already! Sheesh.
