Thursday July 16th aka Part 2 of Day 5 aka Two Happyhaunts go to The Motherland (NOThePresidio)
So... we ran through the Magic Kingdom. Like a pack of wild donkeys and hippos.
Small pack. Very much like in nature tho. As those two species almost always run together. And if they don't. Maybe they should. Seems to work pretty good. For many years.
Actually... pretty sure they actually DO run together in a pack in nature.
It's true. google it.
We hit Splash Mountain and the wait time said 10 minutes. Yesssss!!! Got in line. And Mellyman bent right over. Hands on knees. Looking very winded. I was panting too. We were both drenched in sweat. Like fully soaked. Holy Carp on a cracker... it was HOT!!!!
Mellyman: Well. Mel. That. Was. Not. The. Best. Start. Of. Any. Day.
Me(l): Yeah. Whew. I'm feeling my heart pounding in my thighs. That's normal. Right?
Mellyman: No. And I'm pretty sure I have the gout. Again.
Me(l): Your heart is pounding in your toe and ankle?
Mellyman: Pretty much. And my chest bounces when I run.
Me(l): You should have worn a bra.
Mellyman: Shut up Mel.
Then we proceeded to cool down. Sorta. More sorta when we got inside. It was dark and cool and smells a little like The Poly. Which I really like. However... the wait was more like 20 minutes then 10. But was all good cause it took that long for our heart rates to return to normal anyhow.
Also any makeup I had put on had just run down my sides. And pooled onto my muffin top. My hair had returned to frizzy pom pom and my knee hurt.
Who cares tho? We were about to get on the ride. Mellyman made me ask for the back two seats tho. As he didn't want to get really SPLASHED.
Huh>>>>>>>>>> We're literally soaked with sweat???? What's more moisture at this point?????
Also... he had his baseball cap on. And I said. "Mel, take your hat off. Hold onto it or you'll lose it."
Then the classic Splash Mountain bicker. No I won't. Yes. Yes. You will. No. I've never lost a hat on this ride. Yes. Yes. You have. NO Mel. I haven't. Oh Mel but YES you have. NO. YES. NO.
And he elected to keep it on. AS I KNEW HE WOULD. And I knew the outcome.
However... being a wife. His wife. For so long. I just had to ride. With him. And "it". I've tried. Here. Tried again. And lost.
And. we'll just wait and see what happens.
Again.
So we started off. We love this ride and say the same things together at all the same times.
1. Critter elixir. Fleas. Flat feet. Furballs (NOlotus)
2. Slippin' Falls. (NOGeneral) WHEEEEEE!!!!
3. How do you do????? Just FINE!!! Just fine today!!!
6. Big bare brer bear butt!!!
7. Brer rabbit. Or sometimes not.
8. More bare brer bear butt.
0. FSU!
b. Vultures!!!! OHHHHHH scary soo scary!!!
iv. Down the PIPE!!!!!
and.
Hat is gone.
Me(l): *post shriek* Where's your hat?
Mellyman: Gone.
Heh heh.
It's like the third hat in 12 years. LOL!!!!
Then we looked for the hidden Mickey cloud and enjoyed the tune. And our log bashing into the one in front and the one behind us bashing into ours.
Should be called Whip(SP)lash Mountain. TBH.
Anywho. It was great as usual. And we do *love* this baseball cap eatin' wonderfully themed ride. We DO!!!!
Got off the ride checked for our redneck photo (NOSher) and laughed that you could see Mellyman's hat actually beginning to leave his head.
LOLOLOLOL.
And ran straight to BTMR.
Wait time: 15 mins!!!!
Got in line. And my phone rang.
Me(l): Hello?
Meg: Hi. I'm visiting your mom and she said you haven't been around. Wanted to check on you.
Me(l): Well. You're calling Florida so let's make this quick.
The General: Where are you? You haven't been here and where are my donuts?
Me(l): Mom. I'm in Disney. I'll be back in a few days.
The General: You didn't tell me you were going anywhere.
Me(l): *sigh* Sorry. I must have forgot. I'm sorry. I'll be back soon. You'll be fine. I miss you so much and I love...
CLICK
Mellyman: That your mom???? How did she sound???
Me(l): She's having a good day!!!! *smile*
Then we proceeded to wait. And wait. And wait. The line moved slow and even so slow that I ended up counting the change on the roof that people have thrown out of the windows while losing their minds waiting in sad line.
It was hard to figure out the exact dollar amount of the change tho. It was all different currencies. And I couldn't bear to draw Mellyman's attention to it to get a precise figure. With the Canadian exchange rate.
Finally we were getting close and then it happened.
The TOUR GROUP!!!!!
Fastpass line. Right beside us. ONE THOUSAND 16 year old South American girls. Yelling, clapping, chanting and yelling.
I couldn't make out what they were chanting but it sounded like "WE WILL WE WILL ANNOY YOU!!!!" clap clap clap but...not in English. That was just the gist of it KWIM????? Over and over. As they passed us. Louder and Loudest.
Mellyman had never experienced this before. And looked at Me(l) like "***??????? IS THIS????"
His eyes were wide and horrified. I could see them clearly because he had no baseball cap on.
It continued in waves. One after the other after the other.
And to be honest... they were all very nice looking young women. And I noted to Mellyman that Calvin would prolly appreciate this.
Mellyman looked at me like I'd lost my fool mind. And told me that that was such a stretch that there was no WAY. Calvin has his standards.
He would be equally annoyed.
Was Mellyman's point here.
The truth is this: It was awful. Ruined the whole pre-ride experience. And he was prolly even right about Calvin.
Maybe.
Or not.
They were pretty cute.
Finally the last wave.
That's when I decided to join in. I couldn't make out the words or the language but I could imitate the sounds. And the clapping. So... I started...
*REAL REAL* loud!!!
And everyone including Mellyman in our line spun on a dime and glared at Me(l).
Awful awful death glares.
Heh heh
I must have got it pretty close. NOD!!!
But I DID stop. In mid clap. mid chant.
And turned some big white DONKEY teeth on them all!
Heh eheh heh
Cheers, Mel
Edit...((big *sorry* grin))
