Ahh, Disney World. The trip that made "gift card" a verb. We gift carded just about everything, except the hotel room - but that's okay, because we stuffed 6 people into a 2-person room. And if anyone thinks Disney is just for kids, think again... we had a blast.


Hanging out in Epcot's World Showcase, just a 5-minute boat ride away from our hotel
Until this trip, we never realized the purpose of the World Showcase - to drink beer from all over the world!
Getting some German beer
Two of the NFL's greatest linebackers, Brian Urlacher and Minnie Mouse
I don't know why I think these things are so awesome, but I do
We happened to go during ESPN: The Weekend, so Who Wants to Be a Millionaire had all sports-related questions, and ESPN people helped you
Speaking of ESPN personalities, here's Chris Berman! (who wouldn't turn around)
Kevin and Ara film their own SportsCenter
Not surprisingly, it was an all-Philadelphia edition
Next to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, they had all sorts of sports things to do
Were they laughing because Kevin said something funny? Or was it because he sucked? You decide
Total targets made by me: 1
Total targets made by Kevin: 0
Ara mises a slam dunk
Let's see an instant replay that missed slam dunk, from a different angle
Take it to John!
"That's not the real Mickey... we need to meet the one with red pants!" - Ara
Kevin and his hero
Hey, I'm not ashamed to admit I gave Mickey a hug
But it's cool, we're just friends
4 Devon alumni... I bet you didn't know Mickey went to Devon
Nope, that's not my plane ticket (it's from the show Lost)
The Baseball Tonight crew (Peter Gammons, John Kruk, Harold Reynolds, Karl Ravech) talk about boring baseball stuff
"Hey Kruk, what's up with Darren Daulton?" "I don't know man, that guy's crazy... he's lost it."
We never found Push (the talking trash can), but we did find the next best thing
Right after this, Darth used the force to choke the guy that was translating the parade's song into sign language (seriously)
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio interviews the greatest linebacker ever, Jeremiah Trotter (oh, and a couple of other guys too)
A live taping of Baseball Tonight, under the giant sorcerer's hat
A closer look under the hat
The Tower of Terror, where we ran into Brian Urlacher again
Kevin and Ara like giant balls, such as this one
"That's not the real Mickey, he has a space suit on!" - Ara

Oh and we didn't die on Mission Space, fortunately
Who knew Pluto was a Nova fan?
It's pretty sad when a dog is taller than you
Ara finally meets the real Mickey
Can you feel the baby kicking, Mickey?
Mickey insisted that we all cross our arms like this, I don't know why
Don't feel bad guys, I couldn't do it either
Fact: you can't go to Disney World without going on "It's a Small World"
This picture's for you, Jean-François (he's a linguist)
Ara gives a thumbs-up before riding Big Thunder Mountain
Nooooooooo
Us in front of our favorite castle
Chip, Dale, and another guy who likes eating nuts
I think they thought Kevin's bag had acorns in it or something
Chip and Dale are awesome, because they can relate to the fact that no one can tell Kevin and I apart either
Marching band?
Ara and I about to ride Splash Mountain
We're in the 2nd row (movie, 7.6mb)
Luc got tired of walking around the park, so Ara and Kevin helped him out
The whole group
Ara in the British phone booth next to the pub
How many drunk people can you fit into a single phone booth?
Luc practices his seductive rock star point & stare, while he and Ara sing "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake
You can tell how good Ara's singing was by the hotness of his groupie
The crowd demanded an encore (yeah right), so Luc and Ara sang "867-5309"
Words cannot describe how much I love car bombs
Luc and Ara on Splash Mountain; they're in the front row (movie, 9.2mb)
One of Joe Perry's old guitars; apparently he's over 80 feet tall
The Swan hotel was okay, but I would have rather stayed in this hotel - the elevators were more fun
The guy taking our picture said to "go nuts", so we did
By the end of the trip, we had a very large collection of change laying around the hotel room, so we left it for the maids and Ara arranged it into art
Disney's newest coaster, Expedition Everest
The ride didn't officially open until a month after we were there, but fortunately we still got to ride it (and it was awesome)
The Rose and Crown Pub, which had Strongbow on tap - which meant we went there almost every day
