ACT V: Faster than a speeding bullet.

[Bennet]

Hi there. Zurg here Evil Emperor.

To refresh, our cast includes Zurgswife, Kelley, a pair of Buzzes and Delaney, Snow White, Cinderella, Jessie, Maleficent (DSWCJM) 3.

Kelley loves Belle. It was her quest for a paint it yourself Belle cell that led us to her animation adventure, her desire to be Belle for Halloween that got Grandma to make a Belle dress.

Kelley's a tween - you know between little kid and teen. This trip maybe her last chance to be Belle and see Belle through the magic eyes of childhood.

My little girl is growing up. Over the course of this trip Zurg realizes that he may not be the only one noticing this.

Zurg is looking for Belle as hard as he looked for Snow White but is being a tad more discreet. (A tad however, does not go very far when you are walking around in a purple Zurg hat.) Belle, unlike Snow White,  wouldn't be too difficult to find, she is on the map, except, as Zurg soon discovers, the kids intentionally grabbed maps in every language except English!

As we walked into Fairytale Garden, Kelley changed into the Belle dress quicker than Clark Kent can get his red BVDs over his PJ's . Like her hero Kelley is very pretty in blue and white but looking a little self-conscious.

Belle's Fairytale Garden is just around the corner from Cinderella's castle where we ran into the family of a boy's from Kelley's class in ACT I. We meet other friends just as story time with Belle starts. Their kids are the same ages as ours, in fact their son is in Kelley's class at school too.

I don't know about you all, but we always run into people we know at Disney World. Just the other day, in Epcot, we ran into yet another of Kelley's classmates and his family. What a coincidence - except Zurg is a dad, a word that here means paranoid schizophrenic, and invents <A HREF="http://www.mt.net/~watcher/april30.html" TARGET=_blank>
conspiracy theories</A> as quick as <font color="#000000">Oliver Stone. </font>

Why is it that Zurg can't spit in Orlando without hitting one of the boys from Kelley's class back in Philadelphia?

Belle's assistants come out and go right over to talk to Kelley. Belle comes on stage and starts the show by picking Kelley's classmate to play the roll of Maurice. Zurg realizes that there is no more film in the camera and dashes to the stroller/pack mule for a few fresh rolls just as Kelley is asked to play Mrs. Potts. Belle comments that Kelley a very lovely dress. Kelley grins. Some blond kid I keep seeing is cast as Gaston, stuck into a costume bulging with muscles and is hamming it up to the max. It is a magic moment and Kodak
is very happy.

Following the show we get to greet Belle. Kelley demurs but Belle insists on posing for a picture. Belle remembers meeting Kelley in Epcot last fall! Kelley gives Belle a sticker of the two of them made from a photo taken then. Belle recalls that the boys were Buzz at Halloween. Beauty has brains. She can remember details about kids she met a half year ago, Zurg thinks Belle could make a bundle counting cards in Vegas.

After the show Kelley does another quick change that makes Mr. faster than a speeding bullet look slow. She is back to being herself but the trip to Belle's Fairytale Garden was enchanting.

Our friends are Disney amateurs so we show them the ropes. I introduce them to fastpasses getting tickets for Space Ranger Spin while we wait to be seated for Lunch. Delaney dresses as Cinderella and lets her gal pal Aubry be Snow White for the day. After we eat the Buzzes show their video game playing pals the way to use a laser blaster. 

Kelley enjoys showing off her knowledge of Disney World and rides all the rides with her classmate.

Zurg is struck by the wisdom of Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies who said, "Jethro - Fetch me my shoot'n iron!"</p>

Your daughter makes me smile. Girls are such fun, I have three DD's, who are now grown-ups but I remember when my youngest, a redhead, truly thought she was Ariel. Thanks for sharing her.

What a nice thing for your daughter to remember! I bet she was thrilled to be part of the storytime! Thanks for sharing your trip report!

 

[disneydreamerinny]

Boy do I know where you are coming from!!
My DD is 10 going on 20. They grow up way too fast and right under our noses.
I really hope she still has that Disney magic sparkle in her eye on our next trip.
I'm not ready to give up on fairy tails and dreams come true.
I hope shes not either..

Thanks for another great chapter!!!!!!
Loved your picture with the purple hat

Another wonderful installment. You really hit a nerve with the little girl growing up. Our "Tweener" was just 11, and has grown 2 complete sizes this school year alone, taking her out of the childrens clothes. No more Belle dresses for her!It is so wonderful to read how much you are enjoying each and every minute with your girls!

 

[KangaT]

Thank you O Great Evil One for the trip reports. I've just finished reading them all. They're marvelous. We'll be hitting the World in May with our 3 boys, the oldest of whom is a Tween (at 10, he's had a middle school attitude for 2 years already). Imagine my great shock (and extreme pleasure) when he insisted along with his younger brothers that we simply MUST do a Pooh character meal. There's still a little Pixie Dust in his eyes. DH and I are doing our part to keep it there in his, the way it's always been in ours. We're a couple of those oddballs who actually go to Disney movies without little kids along - our 2nd date (way, WAY back when) was to see "Sleeping Beauty."

BTW, how does an ordinary mortal make use of the Z.I.A.?

Well Zurg will be happy to be your guest and provide private spy services. Just send the paid reservation, airline tickets and some walking around money to:

Zurg, Evil Emperor
1 Emperor's Palace Place
Planet Z, Sector 9

Anyone can use Zurg's tactics. Bribery works very well. A good project to help you and the boys get into Z.I.A. mode is to make stickers of the kids to give to the CMs.

Go to the the Disney Store and get some mouse ears. Take pictures of the kids in the ears (mom & dad too.) nice white background helps.

If you have a digital camera or scanner great. If not get a disk made when you get the film developed.

Go to office max and get some Avery Small Round lables (#8293).

Make a word processing or what ever document with all the pictures in it lined up with the lables. (Big tip shoot some drafts on plain paper to be sure they line up.)

Make tons of them and give them to CMs every chance you get. CMs love this and spill all kinds of clasified information. Keep in mind ink jet printer ink runs when it gets wet so don't take them to the pool or out in the rain.

LOL never replied to this.

I too can relate, I have a 12 yr old, blonde, blue eyed, and legs TOO long! BTW, not only did I find myself looking at EVERYONES shoes, so did hubby, in fact, he was the one who prompted me to take a pic, which came out great. Need to scan it to you for the website. Also, Buzz was hubby's fav. ride! Son scored 172,600!! Not too shabby for a first timer!

Neat story, Zurg! I found myself wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. There's a special "tweener" in my life, too, and I'm realizing they don't stay little nearly long enough any more. I hope our trip this fall is as special to us as this one obviously was to you. Thanks for sharing!
