A Pirates life for me

So a week from today I will be getting my ticket to go and see the new Pirates movie. I have not kept it a secret that the Pirates movies are some of my favorites of all time. I have been very excited to see this movie since I heard they announced it at the D23 expo a few years ago.

From everything that I have seen of the movie it is going to continue on with the same style and feel that the last 3 had. I was glad to see that Geoffrey Rush was back in the film. Barbossa is one of the best characters in the show. And the addition of Ian McShane as Blackbeard is going to be a very welcome addition. I wonder if we will see a little cameo from Kiera Knightley? I would certainly hope so.

Pirates has always been one of my favorite attractions at Walt Disney World. So when I heard that they were going to make a movie way back in the early 2000s I was not too sure what it was going to be like. I actually held off a little bit to see it. But then I saw it and it was instantly one of my favorites. And they then added Captain Jack to the ride and I could not have been more pleased with what they did. They could have really messed it up by putting him in. But they left the ride almost untouched except for the addition of the Captain and Barbossa. The changes enhanced the ride and gave it a fresh look for the new guests that come there every year.

I am seeing the midnight show so I will be sure to give a review after I see it. Hopefully it is not like the 4th Indiana Jones.

My First Post

Well here it is....my first post. I am sure that people like to sit around and carefully plan out what they are going to say in their first post, but that is not my style. I am just going to start typing and hope that what comes out is not just babble.

I started this blog because I wanted to give people a spot where they can come and get away from reality for a little while. Kind of an escape. And while it is an escape for the readers it is also an escape for me too.

You see I am what the doctors like to call "obsessed" with traveling to Walt Disney World. I have been going once or twice a year for a long time now. And I feel like I can't get enough. Not just of going to the park but also researching the park and all of the hidden gems you might find in the park.

This blog is going to give people news and information about all things Disney. But it is is also going to show you WDW through my eyes. And what I like to do. I have been on solo trips as well as trips with large groups of people. So I am pretty experienced with all types of travel. And along with that travel comes a lot of stories.

So this blog will have some informational posts but it will mostly be about me and what I have done. I am excited to start writing more and more and hope that people will be at the very least entertained but this blog.

Thanks for reading and for following me.
