Took a little mini-trip to SoCal for the weekend and put some use to our annual passes to Disneyland. The crowd was pretty mellow, not a sea of people all rubbin’ on each other just to get from place to place. The weather was near perfect, sun with a cool breeze. We started this whole pin-trading thing and once we found out that you could ask any Disneyland employee (cashier, security, executive, guide, street sweeper etc.) that’s wearing their pins to trade with you…it was on. BaDonkeyKong and her Moms went B-A-N-A-N-A-S. We never knew that you could just ask them to see their pins and they would kindly trade whatever they have in exchange for the pin you don’t want. So the trick is to buy the cheapest pins and trade for the bigger pins they may have. I guess that just gives us more to do. We even went back on Monday morning for a couple of hours just to trade pins…wtf.
I was looking forward to riding the newly renovated “It’s A Small World”. The lines are usually too frickin’ long and annoying, but like I said, the crowds weren’t there which got us on the ride fairly quickly. I was hoping they had addressed the representation they have of the Philippines. I’m all for the “It’s A Small World” joy and fun etc., but c’mon all they have in there representing the Philippines is a single after thought with a spotlight waving a fan. Yo, Walt Disney! Roll over ‘cuz I gotta ask you something…Are you fuckin’ kidding me? There are more Native American Indians and Eskimos throughout the ride then there are Filipinos. I’m not trying to be racist, I’m just saying what the hell is up with the representation? That’s some shit. When was the last time a Native American Indian an Eskimo, a Mermaid and a flying carpet paid for that fuckin’ season pass and dropped bills on all that Mouse-Wear and the $3.00 Churro?
To my dismay that shit still isn’t fixed. Maybe it’s just too complicated for their engineers to figure out an automated roboticized pattern of movement so that two figurines can open and close two sticks while another two jump up and down without getting their ankles snapped off. It’s probably a lot easier to get Aladdin and Jasmine to swing from the rafters. Maybe the TINIKLING dance is just too much. It shows too much skill, timing and precision. It would probably more interesting to them if Filipino’s could dance the tinikling while building an igloo and dressed as mermaids and cowboys. Maybe it’s easier to have the Hawaiian fugurines shake their hips in grass skirts wearing coconuts then it is to dress a couple more dancers in a barong and a maria clara dress. Please…”It’s A Small World” should be renamed to “It’s A Small World That Falsely Represents The Number Of Filipinos That Currently Have Annual Passes Both Nationally and Internationally”, but that’s just me.
Hope everyone had a good three-day weekend. Back to work!
Later,
