"If Lady Gaga were soluble in water..."

rinlinHappy New Year! Here's hoping that 2010 will be a good year.
Got back from Disney yesterday. It was a nice time, though it was unfortunately unseasonably cold much of the time we were there and I was quite jetlagged. On Monday, I got to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
immelmanturn. We had fun globe-hopping and running amok at Epcot. She filled me in on upcoming group cosplay plans, which I am very excited about. I also saw Illuminations at Epcot with my family that night. The fireworks were great though it was quite cold for Florida weather. My favorite part of the show was when they set part of the lake on fire. Tuesday, my brother's marching band was in one of the parades at the Magic Kingdom, so we spent the day there. Seeing the castle lit up at night was super pretty. I also rode Dumbo with Dad for old times sake. My parents were going to let me go out for drinks with them that night, but I was so tired that I was asleep by probably around 7 PM. Wednesday, we split the day between Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. I think my favorite ride was the Rock n' Rollercoaster. On Thursday morning we went to Downtown Disney, then we flew home later in the afternoon. I got home just in time to go to the New Year's Eve party at Jessie's house, which was nice, if not slightly uneventful. (We did have some fun playing games and relating them to Lady Gaga though.)
I'm a little saddened by my time at Disney. I hate to admit it, but for me a lot of the magic was gone. The last time I was there was when I was eight, so I had a very different perspective on everything coming back thirteen years later. There was still some stuff at Disney that I really enjoyed, but a lot of it seemed little kiddish, or a bit too cheesy for my tastes. I guess I've just grown up. I like to think that no one is too old for Disney, but I think that you definitely get the most enjoyment out of it when you're a child. I don't think the jetlag and the constant Chrismas music (even though Christmas was over) helped the situation either. The only thing that did was make me somewhat grumpy.
