A costly venture to be sure but it is a once in a lfetime trip.
 as promised, here is a pic of me infront of the walker at Disney MGM. Not life sized quite but it would make a nice yard ornament for Tamer.
  Also I have posted a pic of myself with a couple of costumed x-men characters at universal's islands of adventure.
I had just mentioned to the girls that their costumes looked great and the Rogue character grabbed me by the shirt and said flatley " they are uniforms" when the wifey took the shot.

That ATAT does look sweet. I am not sure yet the exact year we are going. The wife was wanting to go to Disney when the gal was four our five, but now she thinks it will mean more and she will remember more if she is a little older like eight or nine. I dont know. Funds will probably dictate the when I would guess. Sure doesnt sound cheap.

Its not, It's something for us that's not going to be every year, maybe every 5 years.  But talking to people that go, its worth it.

you are correct sir! Disney MGM to be exact. The actual star tours ride that the walker is in front of could have been a little better IMO but seeing this monster up close and a trip through the star tours store on your way out of the ride is a great SW experience.

Like I said, there are actually 4 disney parks in orlando.
the magic kingdom
the animal kingdom
disney mgm
epcot center
  
and if you get a disney park hopper pass, you can go back and forth between the parks at will for however many days your pass lasts.

I think that there is also a water park but I can't remember the name of that one.

And Tamer, with that walker waiting for you, I would think that price would be a non-concern.

Yeah, I feel the same way Chad. I am gonna do it at least once and see how I survive it. If it goes ok, and I know it will, I will probably go again.

We did over Magic Kingdom and Universal. Another highlight was Downtown Disney. A  bunch of Shops all Disney orientated in the central shopping area. Not sure exact location as my Canuck friend was driving everywhere but the Toy store they had was awesome!..Even the Lego shop (which i don't get into) was just over the top.....
