Here's my hat. - Page 2

I've waited in the long ass monster line more than once, and we always ride the train to see the dioramas first thing. After entering through the left tunnel and before eating at the carnation cafe. Does this make us geeks?

Dang you guys are a tough sell. All I know is that a few years ago I could tell you the many tiers of management of the company, what fastpass machines were connected where, and that the sauce at Pizza Port was no longer as good because of a change in food vendors. Now, not so much. We just wander around eating churros and seeing which lines are shortest.

Probably my geekiest moment though was at WDW. My mother in law has a really old Disneyland video that we watch whenever we are having withdrawls. In the video there is a musical act where patriotic looking people go down Main Street and sing "Walking right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A!" At WDW they still have it! I nearly peed my pants to see the video routine come to life in an unexpected place.

That was a good number. I wonder why it's not in DL anymore.

I'm sure to the general public I am a total disney geek. My sister called me two days after Pirates opened back up to tell me it had opened back up. I had to laugh. As if I wouldn't know? Ha! Comparitively though, I'm practically a tourist.

Everyone at work considers me the resident Geekus. I know several of our clients who are far more Disneyfied than I , but I guess as far as stylists go I'm a total geek. I reassure everyone that I am merely a grasshopper in the area of Disney Geekdom and know next to nothing compared to some of my fellow geek friends, but Spokane is a lonely outpost and sometimes they seek what little wisdom I may posess. One client actually decided on the day of her appointment to take her family on a road trip to DL instead of Lake Chelan, and I was so moved I gave her my copy of Birnbaum's DL. (It sucked anyway). I think WDT owes me some comp.

Since you two don't live around here the rules for geekery are different. I know if I moved away from SoCal I probably wouldn't follow Disney as closely as I do now. Why should you know the food vendors for Pizza Port? If your vocab still includes "Audio Animatronic" you're still miles away from hanging up the hat.

I haven't been to Disneyland since January. Am I still a geek?

Are you kidding me?

I work for a non-Disney theme park, does that make me less of a Disney geek?

You mean "AA"? Sheesh!

I think there are differing areas of geekiness. Like a hobby, each person has their favorite area of expertise. One my love all things Walt, one ride (or attraction) technology, one trivia, one dates of changes, you get the picture. I'm more into Walt, and DL. WDW doesn't interest me. The movies aren't big in my book, just how they affect the parks, though I do enjoy watching most of them.

You have moved past Disney geek into the much broader range of theme park geek. All hail Coastermatt!
