Grow a fuller beard, give the hair the good side part, carry around a Kermit and go as Jim Henson.

This I could get behind, though I would need to start growing the beard out a month ago and it's really hot here.

You could also get a fake beard due to the time frame and the heat. And at least Jim Henson would be recognizable by himself (unlike when I went as George Lucas one year, with my brother supposed to go as Obi Wan and his friend supposed to go as Dagobah Luke....they bailed on the party and everyone was asking meif I was Bob Vila )

Honestly, I think Bob Vila is a cooler costume than George Lucas.

But I had this plan to walk around the party all night, throwing my hands in the air and shouting "I Am LUCAS!" whenever my brother asked me loudly why something in the new Star Wars sucked...had the voice down and everything. But no, that jerk skips the party....then he borrowed it later that weekend and DID go as Bob Vila.

Although I am toying with the idea of wearing a green t-shirt, blue tightie-whities, and red suspenders and going as the Martian Manhunter; and for me, that is an elaborate costume.

Not to be a dick, but a costume is MANDATORY...even if it's super lame.

That shouldn't be a problem.

You could stick candy wrappers and popcorn to your clothes and go as a Movie Theater Floor.

Get a bathrobe and some sunglasses. Voilà, the Dude.

I like that idea.

Is it too soon for a Billy Mays costume?

Absolutely not.

If that should change then I'd be down to stay the night at the Disney resort and then head to Knize's/Jose's for the rest of the weekend, but right now it's looking grim.

Could you do a day pass? The more I think about it the more it seems like a waste of cash to do a one day hopper, I don't want to have to rush to see everything. And I want to be able to see the park with people.

I think I could swing a day pass. They're roughly $80 (pre-tax), right?

Yeah, I'd probably suggest just sticking to one park...even if you wanted to see 3 parks, you'd be spending 90 minutes of the day in transit, and that's prime ridin' time!

I know you expressed interest in Animal Kingdom, Kristin, which is a GREAT place, but if we want this to be a "DISNEY DAY", then there's really no better choice than Magic Kingdom.

But then again, this isn't my vacation.

I just did a faux checkout at Disney, they're 84.14 with tax and can be picked up on site.

Yeah, I know. I was just sooo excited about going I got carried away.

And fuck yeah, if we're doing this it's going to be Magic Kingdom.

What's the weather generally like in the Kissimmee area in October?

This sounds like a fine idea, since I was trolling eBay looking at passes and I've only been able to find pairs of 2-day park hopper passes.

Let's do it!

You start to smell fall in the air...but it can still be in the 90's if Mother Nature wants to be a douche.

I think I'm going to give it a couple more paychecks to ensure I've still got a job at the beginning of September, but if everything is still looking good (and maybe if it isn't) I'll go ahead and purchase my plane ticket.

How far away from the park do you live, Jason?

About an hour. But that's par for the course to get to ANYWHERE from here. I'm used to it.

Aight... if someone's going as Billy, then I will (assuming I can make it, be Vincing it up. I still ain't shaving my chin strap, but a headset and a squint should sell the look nicely.

You can't see me, but you know that look I'm so fond of giving you? My monitor is getting it right now.

The one-eyed stranger?

Still better than smelling douche in the air.

Who the fuck are Billy and Vince?

That's doable. Lord knows I'll have enough adrenaline pumping through me to help my body cope with the inevitable lack of sleep that early wake-up call is going to bring. I should probably go ahead and apologize in advance for anyone who has to deal with me when I'm all hopped up on Disney. It won't be pretty.
