Take a Vacation

[Pelado]

We stayed three nights in Zermatt and it’s as great as you’ve described. I know I’m getting obnoxious but here’s the missus on our room’s balcony terrace.IMG_3199.jpeg

Isn't that the mountain that houses the residence of the Grinch?

Not sure. I didn't have an E ticket to go on the ride so I never found out. {Edit: it occurs to me that the foregoing is a very dated Disneyland reference that few if anyone nowadays will understand.]

Yeah, I'm getting old, and am married to a Disney nut, but have no idea what an E ticket is.

Fast Pass? Lightning Lane? Genie Plus?

I assume it is something along those lines.

You would think. Much older I think. I did a quick Google search and saw A, B and C tickets from the olden days. I didn't look past that for more than 2 seconds, so I'm guessing it's along those lines.

We spent 2 days in Zermatt and I probably spent half of that just looking at the Matterhorn. It’s an awesome little village with no cars and the gondola ride up to the glacier is great. We hiked down part of the way. If anyone is going to Switzerland they need to include Zermatt In The itinerary.

That's beautiful, in 2026 were going to go do a couple of stages of the TDF and spend some major time in Switzerland.

I'm too young but did hear it referenced in the immortal song, Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun.

Ha, gather round kids... Back in the 60s and 70s, you had to have a ticket for each ride, While individual tickets could be purchased, nearly everyone bought a coupon book that included an admission ticket and, depending on how much you were willing to pay, ten or fifteen ride tickets that were marked A, B, C, D, or E. The A tickets were for stupid things like the Main Street trolley car and entrance to the Main Street Cinema. B and C tickets were most of the kiddie rides in Fantasyland. D tickets were for the Skyway, Autopia (I think) and other good rides. But the E tickets were the big deal rides (Matterhorn, Space Mountain, etc) that were more precious than gold. In the '60s, a 10-ticket ride book, including admission was around $10, a fifteen-ride ticket book was around $15. To this day, lots of boomers still have the remains of those ticket books, although with only a few unused A, B or C ticket books. Thanks for listening. Time for my nap.

How old are you?

Born around the same time as Liam Neeson and David Bednar, and the parallels are striking. I combine the rugged machismo of Bednar and the spirituality of Neeson.

Nice.

Also gives me an excuse to re-post this classic.
