WARNING! I may have to seek therapy after writing the first half of this update.
After settling into the BCV and having taken it easy for the day, I was ready to head out to MK and enjoy the Mothers Day celebration with the extended family. The Wishes Dessert Party was something that I had looked forward when planning this trip.
The phone rings and its my DB. He explained that his son wasnt well, his daughter was sleepy, our parents were really tired and he wasnt feeling like going out to the theme park today. So, he wanted me to cancel WDP and re-schedule for tomorrow night.
Can you hear the sound of my hand smacking my forehead?
yesCan you hear me silently screaming?
Are you all feeling what Im feeling?
Im guessing (and hoping) that the answers are
yes, yes and yes!
Please count with me
.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Deep breath.
Big sigh.
Give your body a shake.
AAAAAARGH#@@#$%!$&!!%*!!!! I am still in need of therapy
..
I had to explain that this was THE ONE event in all the events that I had arranged for the family where everything was pre-paid for beforehand. I said that we wouldnt be able to change the booking for tomorrow as this event was sold out. I also did the good sister thing and said that I understood and to not worry about it. If the family wasnt feeling well, I didnt want to force them to come and have a bad time. It was better that they should stay home and not come out.
DB was silent for about a minute and then said that he would talk with the family and put the phone down.
DH and I looked at each other. Heres a summary of our options that we discussed. Because this is the DisBoard, Ive edited the language somewhat:
1. The 3 of us were definitely going. We were NOT missing out.
2. We would head to MK and go to Guest Relations to see if we could change the reservation from 8 adults and 1 child to 2 adults and 1 child; and get a refund. The 3 of us were definitely going.
3. We were going to find a computer and see if there were any Dis-ers at the Park on-line to come and join us.
you could have called ME The 3 of us were definitely going.
4. We were going to stand outside the Terrace and sell the extra seats.
You could have called METhe 3 of us were definitely going.
5. We were going to stand outside the Terrace and offer the seats for free.
You could have called METhe 3 of us were definitely going.
6. We were going to kill my extended family in a way that we wouldnt be caught.
I know people you could have called METhe 3 of us were definitely going.
7. We were going to kill my extended family and get off due to the circumstances.
see aboveThe 3 of us were definitely going.
8. The 3 of us were DEFINITELY going.
8 times "the 3 of us are definitely going were you really sure? still should have called ME !
We started out of the room when the phone rings again (its taken all of 3 minutes). Its my DB. The extended family had a chat and they didnt want me to take a hit on this and they were getting ready to come.
In the quiet spaces in your mind, where sometimes dark and desperate thoughts live, Im think I was thinking
.but I dont want you to come.
In the practical spaces in your mind, where sunlight and rational thoughts live, I was concerned that they were going to do something that they didnt want to do and I didnt want them to get sicker. But, it would appear that the extended family was indeed heading out to MK and the original plan was still in play.
I came out in a much better mood and frame of mind.
Magic of Disney (Thanks for letting me vent! and I did say I was still in need of therapy
)
And then it was time to catch up with the family and head towards the Tomorrowland Terrace.
Whilst waiting for them, DH snapped these shots.
I just love the detail!
One of my fave parts of MK & I wonder how many people just walk by it, I have a pic of my younger DD (she'll be 34 next month with the Chip & Dale when she was abt 16 will have to find it & share it with you
My favourite of the collection
He almost looks like hes flying!
There is neither one tree nor fire hydrant near by.
Definitely not a real boy!
He must have modeled for this when he was younger
way too thin for my liking.
By the time DH had finished, the rest of the family had turned up and we headed for our Dessert Party.
still should have called ME
