Disney In-Depth: Magic Kingdom Morning
October 16th, 2010
There have been many years in the past that I have gone to Walt Disney World in back-to-back years. And there have even been several during which I visited both Disneyland and Disney World in the same year. But on Friday, September 17, 2010, this became the first year that I visited both Disneyland and Walt Disney World twice in the same year. Regardless of the impressive record-breaking, I just went there again to have fun. Of course, this was the part of our road trip that Ashleigh was looking forward to most of all.

I was a little bit conflicted on how to refer to Harry Anderson in the title of this posting. On one hand, he was Judge Harry Stone on the often hilarious sitcom Night Court from 1984-1992. But on the other hand, he had a memorable recurring role on one of my all-time favorite sitcoms Cheers as Harry the Hat, the local magician and con man who often frequented the bar, usually swindling the patrons out of some cash. What never entered the mix was the role he played on Dave’s World, a sitcom based on the life of columnist Dave Barry that lasted four years. This was not because it was a bad show, it was just that I had never seen it. 
There were two weeks between my little road trip to Chicago and my little air trip to California. Not a lot exciting there. I finished my 1974 Oscar nominees and continued with Two and Half Men. I had a couple of good lunches at work, one with Brandie at Benihana for teppanyaki on September 29, 2010, one with Tim at Tan Thai Cuisine on October 1 – both delicious. Right smack in the middle of these two weeks was my 39th birthday. Nothing exciting there either. I ended up spending it at home, watching some 1937 Oscar nominees, eating Burger King, and taking a nap. I justified the boring day by notifying everyone that I would be celebrating the following weekend. 
Step back Daniel-san! There be enemies lurking about! For those whom have enjoyed the Karate Kid movies, it is important to note that Daniel and the ever-lovable Mr. Miyagi could not have achieved the level of lovability and niceness that they did had there not been brutal enemies to offset their likeability. While attending the Hollywood Show in Burbank on Saturday, April 24, 2010, I had the opportunity to have run-ins with three of them, starting out with the slimiest of all…sensei John Kreese.
