Disney Magic Bands
Finally got my official Magic Band as a Disney Passholder! Of course, the wife and I have been using the generic bands we got from staying in a resort a few months back, but it's nice to legitimately be part of the FastPass+ revolution.
On that note, the FastPass+ system is actually pretty fantastic so far. My only complaint is that I wish you could split your three reservations up over multiple parks. I'm sure that feature will come with time, but in the meantime they're doing a great job with the current setup. Case in point, a couple months ago when we were at the park we had reservations for Space Mountain in the evening. Naturally, the ride went down for maintenance (as it often does) and to make amends Disney threw a blank FastPass onto our Magic Bands that we were able to redeem at any ride in that park at any time that day until close! SCORE!

Back to the Future...of Awesome Blogging
Excuse the corny reference, but I needed one in the title.
So this is my attempt to get back with writing and posting on here. As you can tell, from the gap in post dates, I have let med school and life consume me and have neglected my attempts at being a nerdy blogger. So in order to attempt a re-entry into this world (hopefully being as successful as the recent "Curiosity" landing on our 4th rock from the sun).
What's up-and-coming in the world of nerdom:
1. Star Wars Celebration VI (8/23 - 8/26)

Star Tours 2...My Forbidden Journey!
So as I attempt to return to the world of blogging, yet again, I have decided to share with you my latest and greatest obsession (que the lights and music):
It is no joke, without sounding overly dramatic, I am about ready to bow before Lord Palpatine himself and commit myself to the Dark Side. Many of my fans will say, "Aaron, aren't you already a Sith?" To them I reply, yes! However, like Vader there has always been some good and therefore conflict inside me. After the events surrounding Star Tours 2, I don't know if I have it in me to keep those midichlorians from sparking up.
In case you have been living under a rock (like in those Geico commercials), you should check out http://www.startours2live.com/ for all there is to know about Star Tours 2. You should also follow Star Tours 2 Live on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/StarTours2Live
------------------
Now that I am done crying, we have the exciting fact that the ride will more than likely have at least one soft opening before May 20th. The people from Star Tours 2 Live are camping out in front of the ride all day everyday until one of these soft openings occurs. My lovely and amazingly awesome girlfriend and I took a trip out to Disney's Hollywood Studios yesterday and hung out with them for awhile...of course there wasn't a soft opening while we were there because I wouldn't sound like an emo Sith right now if I had actually ridden the ride, would I?! Sorry...sorry...didn't mean to lose it there. I'm calm, I promise. In any case, the ride will be open just in time for the first of Disney's Star Wars Weekends May 20-22. Hope you get a chance to ride it this summer.
May the Force be with you!
