Continuation of the dance troupe story: performing on a makeshift stage by the bathrooms in Florida humidity to indifferent, churro-eating tourists, and staying at the Dolphin hotel.
- Tim describes performing at Disney World in boogie woogie bugle boy outfits, stationed by the bathrooms in the middle of the day during extreme Florida humidity.
- The dance troupe from Long Island was a low-tier group, with some of the dancers noticeably overweight and punchy.
- Tim and the other dancers sweated through tan military uniforms so heavily they looked like a forgotten platoon the government had written off as dead.
- They took a boat from the Dolphin hotel to Disney World each day as a group of sweating kids in bizarre outfits, then performed the same dance routine repeatedly.
- Obese tourists waiting for bathrooms would stare at them while eating churros, offering almost no applause when the performance ended.
- They performed the same number over and over, so by the second or third time audiences had already seen it and would just look away.
- Tim performing to people's backs became one of the lowest points in his life, a realization about life's drudgery that even Splash Mountain couldn't fix.
