The perfect beer spot needs more greenery though. I’m not going to rest until I’ve found it.

“If I had a nickel for every abandoned wheelchair and unused fast pass that littered the area…”

It seems that there are people at Walt Disney World who use wheelchairs purely because they’re fat and lazy and when they can’t get across an area, they just get up.

Who uses a wheelchair purely through sloth? I had no idea this happened. Although if I’d had an inkling, I probably would have picked Walt Disney World as being the place where it would happen.

That’s not to say that there’s no good places to have a beer though. There’s always somewhere good to have a beer. Greenland doesn’t lack for scenery – just light and optimism.

“We had originally planned to hold our wedding in Disney, but now…”

What? What could possibly have happened to make iowagal20 change their mind? Did their 15th birthday bring some sort of clarity and enlightenment? Did they see Walt Disney World as the shabby, hollow, cynical money-making shodfest it really is?

No. Iowagal20 changed their mind because…

“It’s obvious they don’t run back-ground checks on their employees, and we are no longer comfortable asking all of our friends and family to travel there only to put their possessions and identities at such obvious risk.”

Iowagal20 concludes:

“Disney is no longer the wholesome, family destination it once was. Now, I think of it only as a criminal breeding ground where employees swap scams like the inmates of a prison.”

I’m not totally convinced that this place is a bar for example, despite the sign, but it’s DEFINITELY somewhere I want to have a beer.

“People! When you enter Disney World through the Western gate or if you are otherwise on Western Way watch out for speed traps! As a local this is where I enter into Disney and it is nice and quiet road but has the Orange County Sheriff Office handing out speeding tickets. The road could handle traffic easily at 65 MPH but the limit is 45 MPH and over the “bridge” it is 35 MPH, this is where they get you so be careful.”

I think I’m possibly most scared by the inverted commas around ‘bridge’.

“Disney Characters, I think are very lame. I mean who wants to see a bunch of mouses running around? Not my cup of tea.”

Being so laid-back, I always enjoy a stay at the Grand Wakikian Hilton in Hawaii. The cold, clinical interior is so relaxing and you get a real feel for life on this small island.

However, they can be a bit backwards. Last time I stayed, the guy on the front desk had the cheek to offer me a copied Mont Blanc pen to sign with. I don’t have any copied, knock-off stuff and I made a big point of getting out my own genuine Mont Blanc pen and brandishing it in front of him.

That wiped the smile off his cheap knock-off face. God I’m awesome.

“The ride was very short and out of the 12 people on the ride only two got wet. My special needs daughter was very upset because she did not get wet.”

Only a sixth of the people got wet. A sixth! That’s not even a quarter. If three people had got wet, it would have been just about okay – as long as one of them had special needs.

By all accounts the rest of the island’s a bit shabby, although I didn’t go and see it myself. Didn’t need to. The Hilton in Barbados offers everything you could ever want.

It offers the truest Barbados experience imaginable. I spent most of my time in the Executive Lounge and if there’s a better way of spending your time, I don’t know about it. I didn’t think about how I’m the CEO of a fast-growing mobile convergence company once.
