People spend all kinds of money to go to a disney park, then wait an hour and a half, up to six hours, to get on a ride that breaks down constantly. Time and money well spent, eh.

Listen, the entire city of Orlando is a fucking vacuum for your wallet. It's a prison for good parents who just want to make their children's day, even if just once, to make those "memories."

I'm a very frugal person, not to say cheap, because I spend my money, but I personally believe that my only true vote is in my wallet, and so I absolutley do not spent one red cent of my money in places that don't deserve it. To the best of my ability of course.

My daughter made nationals for a sporting event down there a couple months ago, she was very proud and I was very proud of her. I was pissed because it was in Orlando, and I hate that place with a passion, mainly because of Disney and the assholes who line up with their yearly savings to see an autist in a mouse suit walking around. It's fucking insane.

My daughter really wanted to see Harry Potter land, come to find out it's in TWO PARKS at Universal, and if you want to do the whole thing it's a TWO PARK PASS and a 2 PARK FAST PASS, and if you wish to get any rides in at all those are a necessity.

So for three people I dropped a little over $1200 just to walk in the fucking park and ride the rides faster. Which is double what it would have been because HARRY POTTER LAND IS IN TWO FUCKING PARKS!

On top of that the "magical fucking Hogfucks express train ride of a lifetime" that's suppossed to take you between the two harry potter lands was fucking broken, so we had to walk our happy asses all the way to the other park, which took an hour. At this point I'm feeling like Clark Griswold and I'm about to detour to my truck and get my sporting goods and get my family on that fucking train hell or high-water.

I felt buttfucked. I felt like a normie asshole. I felt like such a fucking jamoke.

Icing on the cake, as I'm sucking down my second frozen Butterbeer because my balls are stuck to my legs again, and I have enough swass sauce to make a sculpture of Hermione out of it, the little troll employee manning the new Hagrid ride informs me that my $522 worth of fast passes don't work on the new ride, because, well it's new, as if that has anything to fucking do with it.

Get fucked Orlando. Get fucked.

I think my strategy would have been to say

do you have $1200 to go on two rides? No? Me neither

Yeah man, it was a one time thing. If she makes it next year, we're doing the meet, and heading straight out of Orlando immediately to a beach where I'll spend a hundred a day. Like it should be. Going to Florida and not seeing sand is abnormal.
