Biscuit's Grand Adventure | An epic tale three decades in the making!

[jordanyosh]

I wound up meandering about the gift shop for a few minutes and finally settled on a Mickey Ear antenna topper which rides proudly on my car today. Well, I’m proud to have it there anyway, I’m not sure what its feelings are on the subject actually. I mean you can only imagine how the antenna toppers all dream about one day ending up on a sports car or some hot little import. I’m sure once Epcot closes at night, they slip out off their shelves and go strolling longingly through the concept car display. Yet if my new fried did feel any shame about riding atop a Chevy Cavilier with a saggy bumper, he bore it stoically and never once complained. (I suppose he may have taken a lesson from my Arizona jeans which also ride atop a saggy bumper, but that’s a topic for another thread.)

Who's inside that head of yours?

Saggy bums...I guess you're meaning my thread? I just gonna say...I've recently seen my 86 year old dad's bum recently...I think I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

I walked though the exit area without stopping and figured, “Hey, that wasn’t so bad! I think I’ll go ahead and use my Fastpass now to hop right back on.” O naïve little Biscuit. How grandly has the Disney magic clouded your better judgment. See him now rounding the corner and rejoining queue. Hear him speaking those fateful words to the CM as he selects another orange card. Observe the lightness of his step as he walks through the queue so blissfully unaware of the misery to which he is now destined.

As it turned out, I was assigned to be the commander. Obviously my skills as engineer had been so highly noted that I was selected for this noble assignment the moment the CM’s saw me boldly renter the training bay. After Gary gave us our instructions again, we were shown to our capsule and soon blasted off. And then it began. First there was a bit of wonkiness in my mid section. Then a lightness between my ears. By the time we were halfway done, I was desperately trying to remember whey they stashed the motion sickness bags. There was little I could do at that point but to hold on and pray for stamina. My one redeeming grace was that I had not eaten that morning. Otherwise I am certain there would have been a protein spill in Pod 3.

Finally, mercifully the ride stopped and I somehow managed to stumble out of the thing. I was not walking in a straight line and wound up leaning on the side wall as I walked back to the exit. I was moving slow and wound up at the rear of the pack. I must have been quite as sight as two CM’s asked me if I was okay. About all I could muster was “Peachy.” I finally made it to the exit area and paused for few minutes to sit and collect myself. When at last I had regained my senses I decided that perhaps a double ride on the orange side was NOT an experience to add into any future incarnations of The Plan.

Speaking of hurling.....

i am really pumped to try htose pressed pennies out.

i wonder though if i should wait for another trip when parker is bigger, how did you girls like em, and do they still enjoy them



and you need to PM me your address so i can send you your prize for the TR title.

Double orange? Glad you survived! DH and I split up when we did Mission:Space. He did orange and I did green ~ I don't get motion sick, but my stomach was a little wonky that morning (too much wine the night before, if memory serves) and all the stories (you know, of people dying and stuff) scared me off. Maybe next time I'll give orange a shot, DH loved the ride but I thought it was boring.

But I will make sure to note not to do orange twice in a row!

 

[vamassey1]

Oh GB what were you thinking? You are way more braver than me. I DO NOT do round and round at all. DH loves it.

 

[skippyman111]

Geez, just thinking of Orange 2x in a row makes me light headed and sick to my stomach. Blech !

 

[winkers]

I thought I was going to die from 1 mission into space, I can only imagine what 2 back to back would feel like.

I am glad that you tried it because it made me laugh.

You'd be surprised how often I hear that.

They still pull them out from time to time and look them over. They have mentioned before that we need to go back so they can fill up their penny holder. Ahhh...fishing for angles to justify a WDW trip....true DISer's in trainng.

It was fine once. It was near catastrophic twice.

Oh GB what were you thinking? .

You'd be surprised how often I hear that one as well.

Howdy & It was a ride that will forever be remembered.

Happy to be of service! Anything for my readers! (Well...almost anything....I'll leave the kilts and pole dancing to Jordan.)

 

[eandesmom]

Wow double orange.

Well you wanted an adventure.....

I've never done orange, I get stuck with the wimps but oy, I don't think doubling it up is on my list. Though I have been known to double up my Space Mountains despite it's tendency to give me whiplash!

So you never know.

Hmmn. What kind of trouble can Biscuit get into in the WS?

You are dangerous solo!

You make me laugh every time!

Have a Merry Christmas GB!!!!

I certainly got an adventure all right. I'm pretty sure I'd wind up in traction if left to my own devices for more than half a day at the World.

You make me laugh every time!

Have a Merry Christmas GB!!!!

Merry Chrsitmas to you too!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Merry Christmas to the Bisquit Clan!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Merry Christmas to the Bisquit Clan!

Hey Marita! Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you don't have to work! I imagine its a bit chaotic there right about now.

I'm glad he tried it and NOT me !!!!I got rides confused and refused to go on Star Tours and was given the "Chicken Look" by Kyle aftrwards !!!

Star Tours is much more jerky and bouncy. Mission Space is incredibbly smooth. You don't feel like you are spinning at all. You just get variatons on G-Force & centrifigal force. The effect was INSANELY cool. (Albeit highly discombobulating the second time around.)

 

[pipersmom]

You're braver than I am, if we ride Mission:Space I fully intend to go to the green. I can't even ride flying swings without losing my lunch! Something about the spinning. I can't wait to see a picture of the (not so) elusive green kooky pen lanyard! Looking forward to your next adventure..have a great Christmas!

 

[All7OfUs]

You're a gas, GB!! I love your descriptions- that bit about the atenna topper had me rolling! Personification served its purpose perfectly there!

Once was perfect for me, my friend. Twice might disqualify me for margharitas or a gray goose, so that'd be a no-go. You're right though, it's a smooth ride- the arch-antithesis of Space Mountain or Star Tours.

A Backup for a backup- love that kind of thinking!

Dan- Pressed Pennies are great, for ALL ages. Parker will love them! Especially the hand-crank kind. Those are getting harder to find, but they are around. World of Disney has one.

 

[MKBekka]

You only went on it twice and then got sick? I only went twice as well, but didn't get sick. Maybe I'm just used to Blankastni drivers, or i've been on too many bad plane flights...I dunno. I once heard of a CM at a totally different park in TN who went on a ride with a tripple loop 200 times in two days!! I don't think I'd be able to stand that...

 

[bedillamouse]

Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!

 

[Beka]

Merry Christmas GB & family! I bet the girls have a blast!

 

[Millie12591]

GB, have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. May God shine His face upon you, and may He grant you His favor all the new year through, to you and your beautiful family.
