It most certainly is! I always try to get a seat in the front, but so far I have not been able to get the kilt flying up on camera. The pic snaps just too soon, and you havent dropped far enough yet.

I'm not so concerned about the ride as I am about getting ON the ride. Some loading areas are awkward, at best - not a time I want to be sweeping the pleats.

I darn near broke my arm trying to get a folding theatre seat under me while sweeping my pleats - had to have my wife hold it down while do the sweep myself. Things like that are why I'll be panted some days while I visit The Mouse.

To sit in a theater seat, try this: Sweep and begin sitting with the chair seat still upright. Press the back of your legs just above the knee to the edge of the seat, this captures your pleats in place. Now sit fully, using your weight and leverage to lower the seat to the horizontal position. Support yourself on your arms to control yourself if need be.

Sitting in theater seats like this I actually have LESS trouble keeping my pleats straight than if I sat in regular chairs with arms on them.

It works even in stadium seats, but be warned - if they are as steep as the seats here at Angels Stadium (Edison Field?) and the person sitting in front of you happens to look behind them, they wont have to ask the question, they'll KNOW.

With all due respect to Deolain and Yaish,

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ALCOHOL OUT THERE FOR ME TO RIDE THE TOWER OF TERROR!!!!!!!

(And I hang out with Walkerk who talks about jumping out of airplanes...sober! )

Have fun Jamie! I know you will.

And eFer, take your kid, they will love it. Both of our girls went for the first time when they were 2 or so, and had a great time. Surprisingly, they actually got more shy around the characters as they got older. When they were youger, they would run right up for pictures and a signature.

Well Everyone,

Signing off for a while. Tomorrow we head for the Magic Kingdom at 4:30 AM
(we are driving and would like to get most of the drive done with the children asleep). Should be a fun time. I'll check back during the weekend. I'm sure you folks won't come with too many post in 4 days? :rolleyes:

Cheers

and

(bringing an old thread back to life)
in less than 48 hours i will be in Disney World Orlando. (so i won't be posting for a week).

i have thought about whether to take my kilts or not. and i have decided against *not*, yes, a sad decision to make, but i have too many reason for "not". i value my kilts too much to risk them getting lost by the airline. i value them too much to risk getting ripped on a ride apparatus. and there's dealing with water rides, windy rides, and as tp_magill said, i would have trouble getting things settled. i've been to enough abusement parks in my time to know that close fitting clothing is best. Plus as Panache discovered at DisneyLand, i don't want to be mistaken as an employee... i'm sorry i mean "cast member" (it would be like wearing a red polo shirt and khaki pants at Target.) and the last and biggest reason as that this trip is with some family members (and paid for by them) who are not comfortable with me wearing a kilt (in fact i don't think they are comfortable with me marrying their daughter in general, so i will just be "normal" for the week).

i'm kilted full-time now, so this will actually be an odd week for me.

Thanks, Yahish, for the seat help. My problem was the first time I got up from a seat like that and when the seat flipped to its upright position, my kilt flipped up in the back. I don't know how high it went up, but the people behind me didn't laugh, point, or say anything. I did push the kilt back down, quickly, and turned to see what their expression was.

DALE.
