Like outside the slide? Or into the air, but back down? The former is like "WTF?"

Like an outdoor slide where my body flew off of it, but thankfully landed back on the slide. And when I say flew off, I mean I was above the half pipe and very much on the side.

We are in FL for the weekend and considered going to Universal Studios. Ticket prices are variable now, and we're over 200 per person, with no add-ons or priority anything. And all the fast pass stuff was completely sold out.

Nah.

Variable, as in more expensive as the park fills up?

based on the day, not time of day, but yes. This is a popular week at the parks. Yankees have winter break

Last time I was there I bought a park/hotel package ahead of time. Didn't have to worry about gate pricing, and fast passes being booked up.

Yeah, that's what we did years ago. This was a "maybe we could go there, we're already here in Orlando, OH FUCK NO" Every day had a different price though.

You, me, and half the free world apparently.

I was down in Naples. Had a nice weather pattern that really lowered the humidity, but it was still in the 80s every day.

I am not yet at the age or mindset that has me wanting to live in Florida. For one thing, all those Del Boca Vista Seinfeld episodes just got a whole lot funnier and more relevant to me. I, literally, heard half the plot lines from those episodes in this single four day weekend. Outside of my in-law's area it was just insane traffic and way too many people. Not to mention everything there is trying to kill you, particularly the sun.

Yeah, it was super awesome without the humidity, we walked almost everywhere we went.

I love Florida, but specifically from a rocking boat in the ocean out of sight of land, and I just strapped on a knife and scuba tank.
