Can you explain this one please? We are currently considering it for a weekend trip with the kids.

A group of us drove out to six flags once and it was closed. That sucked.

I went on a 1200 mile Road trip in the back seat of a 98 mustang, that wasn't fun either.

Went to my cousin's wedding in downtown Memphis. We got there pretty early and was able to park on the street across from the church. After my dad parks and we go inside, we hear a loud boom. Walk out to find someone had hit my parents Tahoe and the car parked behind us. Of course it was a hit and run, luckily there was a young kid who was outside church when it happened and he was able to give the police a really good description of the car. It ruined our whole evening, my dad missed the whole wedding because he was outside dealing with the police. I really felt bad for the other car that had worse damage than my parents, it was a brand new car and the people couldn't even drive it back home. As if that was bad enough, we got lost driving back to our hotel after the wedding and ended up in a pretty bad area of Memphis.

There are good areas of Memphis?

Disney has to be up there for me.

But I remember as a kid my dad driving my 2 brothers and me to Destin around the 4th of July to fish 1 day on 1 of the snapper party boats in my grandparent's station wagon. Being the old country guy he is, he just assumed we'd get there and get a hotel. This was circa 1985, so booking hotels ahead of time was out of the question. He didn't realize all the hotels would be booked up. We had to sleep in the station wagon in a parking lot by the beach in July! fricking miserable.

Then turned around and drove back to Shreveport the next day.

June 2011: went to Conroe, Texas to visit my girlfriend. She lived in a small apartment but was moving. I helped her and her roommate move into an upstairs apartment on the other side of town. I paid for meals for all three of us. My girlfriend was more interested in her female roommate than me. We did not have private time together and she did not seem to want to be intimate. We had boxes everywhere on the floor. No television or cable to watch. I ended up sleeping on the floor for two nights. Third day, I decided to drive back to Gonzales. It stormed the whole trip back. Girlfriend broke up with me two days later. I got used like a wash rag . Long distance relationships suck.

8th grade school trip to Disney World. I got food poisoning from a bad hamburger on the bus ride down there and spent the next 10 hours puking in a trashbag.

ETA: I did get a row to myself though, so it wasn't all bad.

Then you just don't know how to do WDW. I've been there over 30 times and although it isn't the best vacation spot, it certainly isn't the worst.
