Let's see... where were we...
Well if memory serves, y’all were at MK.
I was laid out flat on my back trying to remember how to make my arms and legs work.
As such I’m very late getting back to this party. Let’s see if I can catch up before the next update.
Not revisited my meal on Tea Cups?
Good thing too…
Technicolor Tea Cups would not have been a particularly desirable outcome.
plan B involved me setting fire to something
and sending out smoke signals.
IASW has plenty of kindling…
Just sayin’.
Just for the heck of it, we wove our way towards Space Mountain.
Didn’t see that coming…
I thought SM was a Big No-No for you.
Oh who am I kidding; if my young’en desired it, I’d endure it.
The good news? There was no wait whatsoever!
The bad news? There was no wait because the ride was down.
Yep… missed those points.
I didn’t have y’all on that side of the park for previously noted reasons.
It was originally the WEDway Peoplemover.
“Ain't that right, Uh-Huh?”
possibly because people don't know what WED stands for,
then name it the Walter Elias Disney Peoplemover!
Weeeeeeeeell…
yes and no.
Now I could be wrong (I often am), but I believe in this instance it’s technically named in honor of WED Enterprises (which does include the initials obviously). However, that was the name of the secret development group Walt set up on the side to get around Roy and the stock holders and start developing his first park. Everyone else now referees to those folk as working for Imagineering (a term Walt latter pilfered for Alcoa believe it or not).
But either way, it’s good to know one’s history.
And then the piece de resistance.
(And yes, I'm sure you've seen photos like this before...
but it was still cool to see it in person.)
It wasn't three o'clock yet, so I suggested taking a spin on COP.
Kay was game.... I told her it was air conditioned.
I’m told it was just a touch warmish so cold air is good…
Sitting for a spell is good too.
Even though it was hot, we're smiling.
Probably because she has her hand on my bum.
Sure that’s the story you wan’a be goin’ with here?
I've followed Courtney for a little while now
(Wow! Does that ever sound stalkerish!)
Well if it didn’t at first, the previous “hand on my bum” comment kind’a got that snowball running down the mountain side.
And you want to know the weird thing?
It's only now as I type this that it suddenly occurs to me.
She said she was stopping at Starbucks...
Where's her drink?
Sooooo… She didn’t poor it down your backside?
She also swings a baton and cracks heads for crowd control at parades.
I believe she said she actually prefers the latter,
because it gives her more chances to interact with guests.
Interact… subjugate… two side of the same coin.
No, Kay wanted a yard stick full of coloured sugar.
Got’a feed that inner six-year-old, ya know.
What can I say about 7DMT.
You’ll think of something.
BTMRR. That's a priority!
More of a moral imperative.
I think either the ride has to stand still or the dwarves do.
Everybody just stop moving for one second!....
Yeah, but then the heat might catch up with you.
Better to just keep going.
For some reason, she didn't reach up and try to grab the gems
like she did when she was four.
Wonder why not?
Just a little bit less “wonder” I suppose
Kay had said she wanted a buffet meal…
Another nice bit of information to have had…
(I guessed correctly. Points for me! Say Yay! and you'll get points!)
Yay!
{never ignore free points… I need ‘em to catch back up as it is}
Now I'm not big into characters (gasp!)
and neither is Kay (double gasp!)
Thus my incorrect choice on this particular venue.
Pretty good grub though, so it’s a win for y’all.
Okay, take a moment to catch your breath.
no, no… I’m with you.
You want to interact with pkondz?
Get a FP.
Or read his TRs…
That option is more cost effective (and nearly as entertaining)
I'm on vacation! Calories don't count!
Another moral imperative.
Calories consumed while eating over the sink don’t count either, by the way.
Just so ya’ know.
a sugar overload is a definite possibility.
It's a slippery slope from "I'll just have one..."
to "I'll just have one of each..."
to "I'll just take each tray."
Well see there!
You basically got to experience the net result of the Wishes Desert Party.
It’s all good, now.
After supper, it was time for our next Fastpass.
Ahhhhh..... My princess.
No points for you…
I mean me… errr… whatever.
Next!
Ariel. Complete with fish tail, of course.
And Clam Shells (or this thread would be receiving a ratting a bit beyond PG)
I’m assuming she’d sobered up a mite by now as well.
(but then again, it might have been an even more interesting interaction if that weren’t the case)
And wouldn't you know it.
Kay just had to try and butt in!
I mean... what the heck? This is my princess!
Get your own!
Kids these days…
It's really a wonder after that first one, that any more are ever reproduced.
Well considering the mechanics involved… no, it’s really not that surprising.
There are things in this universe that are quite capable of quickly drowning out otherwise rational thought processes.
Notice how Ariel's hand is possessively clutching my arm?
It's obvious, isn't it?
We were meant to be.
Now I’m not so sure which one of you it was that was actually soused back there in the last chapter.
Ariel didn't want me to leave and may have cried at my departure.
I had to be strong, for both of us.
It was not easy.
A regular martyr, you are.
We did not save the Galaxy.
Ehhh… you aim was off a bit.
You were emotionally compromised up by the forced separation from your true love, I suspect.
Pop over to Splash and.... 25 minutes wait?
Oh, we can do that! Easy!
Except it wasn't.
It took twice that time.
50 minutes in line for Splash!
Apparently someone didn’t turn in their red card for that attraction.
I never said I was smart.
The truest truths are the unspoken ones.
A smart-a... uh... smart-alec, sure.
Like that one for instance.
When a mother with toddler came on, I gave her my seat.
‘Cause that’s what you do.
Yummmmmmm!
So we came knowing we were going to order the Kitchen Sink.
And now that we were here!!!!
We just weren't feeling it.
It was that yard of sugar that did it…
Don’t blame you actually.
There’s plenty on the menu that will do even better.
The sink is really just there so that folks can say that they did it.
Better to go for quality.
Kay ordered the Fudge Mudslide while I had the No Way Jose.
I handed the driver a twenty and told him to give me $10 back.
He didn't have any change.
Whoops…
Something to keep in mind if I ever try that trick down there.
Is it just me? Or is that weird? For a cab driver?
It’s all going digital. Would he have taken a credit card?
We stumbled up to our room
Current yo-yo stair climb tally: 7 to 3
What time does Kay wake up?
Hint: It ain't early.
9:45
What ride do we go on that costs us time
because we FP'd it?
Hummmm… I think there’s probably going to be some back story to this one…
Let’s try Spaceship Earth.
What drink has been on my list for ages...
And I finally drink (for the first time.)
Gott’a be that Grand Marnier Slushie
We have park hoppers.
Do we use them today?
I say: yes, yes you do.
And finally... lots of choices here.
Where's our Dinner ADR for?
Holy Cow!
Nothing to limit that choice; could be anything.
Ummmm… Via Napoli
(dang! I’m already sure that’s wrong)
We’re gonn’a need it.
