That makes sense. Same thing is happening with my younger kid.

Same here.

My oldest son got scared on the Whiny the Pooh ride at Disney. My youngest likes The Walking Dead

My first date with my wife was at the Edens. We saw Big. Later that night, she saw big.

that's not to say it isn't big, because it most certainly is, but she did not see it

Enjoyed the movie last night. If I wanted to be nit-picky about the story I could complain about it some but I just went for the pure enjoyment
of the franchise and characters. It was very well done. Beautifully shot, nice special effects and actually half a dozen moments in which I audibly
laughed or chuckled. I thought it accomplished the goal of putting Star Wars back on solid footing before Disney tries to exploit their big investment.
I don't have any problem with getting a new Star Wars themed movie every couple of years if they are done this well. Most enjoyable movie
experience I've had in a long time. I know a lot of it is based on the nostalgia of it but I honestly left feeling I had spent $10 wisely.

Having just spent 8 days in Disney World, they are already exploiting it. I can only explain it by saying that it is literally as if Star Wars vomited all over the entire Disney Property. There is SW shit EVERYWHERE, including most of the 'quick service' food stops.

I realize they are doing that, I was referencing the blockbuster type movies specifically but you are right. Disney is very good at monetizing everything. They didn't spend 4 billion
for nothing.

Broke down. Can't wait.

Myself, certainly, and Dr. Ken Jr. II are hitting a 7am show tomorrow.

Still at a full liquor bar establishment.

Will I ask? Is it even legal? Search my feelings.

Frank, as we were texting whilst you were on property, Disney did the same shit in 2013 and 2014 with Frozen...to the point that they destroyed the Maelstrom in Epcot-Denmark to turn it into a fucking ride in Arendelle...a mythical place that does not exist in Denmark..or anywhere, except on Disney property.
Just be glad I didn't have you pick me up any Star Wars toys like I did my sister in law. :)

Anywho. There's Star Wars shit at Walgreens.


And...I really enjoyed the movie quite a bit. The continuous shot of Poe in the X-Wing and Finn on the ground is worth $16.

You spent 8 days at Disney World? Thats a long damn time. I love Disney, but it's kinda like Las Vegas... after 3 or 4 days, I'm done.
