#10: AN HONORARY CAST MEMBER FOR THE DAY
I think this goes without saying. My dream is to someday work at Disney and for a few moments I was let into the society where that happens. Then, getting to perform in Disney itself while Mickey watches from above (World of Disney), it was so surreal. I will always cherish this once in a lifetime chance I got.
#9: NO USE CRYING OVER SPILLED LEMONADE
It happens to us all the time, but they always make for something to laugh about when you say "Remember when..." Having screwed on that lid so tightly and then for the whole thing to explode, forcing me to switch the contents of my bag and cleaning my pin lanyard (which took forever to get rid of the smell), this was just an everlasting issue throughout the whole day, so I think it deserves a place in the countdown.
#8: SORRY, CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW, BYE!
If you're talking about the most irritating phone calls, this would be on the top of any list. It's so very irritating when you're trying to get answers and all a person does is answer the phone to hang up on you. I think this will be left in the black sheep of Disney memories, but it was a memorable moment nonetheless.
#7: GIVE UP THE SEAT FOR THE LADY!
While this didn't happen IN Disney, it was just so funny, I had to give it a spot. I mean, I had to give the lady a seat! (; That just speaks for itself right there. When a person just spontaneously yells at you to get off your butt and move, it adds a whole sense of hilarity and shock. This was all completely unplanned and the antics used in the situation make it just that great in my mind.
#6: "IT'S WARM..."
This created a total sense of paranoia for anyone who was there when this happened. I'm pretty sure there are many names that could be given to what had happened in this moment. When someone walks over with a splotch of white stuff on their arm after standing under a tree, you're almost 100% sure it was bird poo. I, of course, wasn't totally assured and had to bring up the probability of Ice Cream and of course, the counter-argument to that was "It's Warm..." This will forever be burned in the minds of my group and I think that was the only time I cowered in fear at the site of something non-human.
#5: A DIFFERENT KIND OF BAG CHECK
The course that the events took in this situation were so unprecedented and shocking, it will never happen again. It seemed normal at the start until we got to the bag with many zippers and of course the security guy had to turn around and say "I just got my nails done." Then, of course, he had to continue his comments looking through the bag then cue Jocelyn and the hysterical laughter ensued. It just goes to show how CMs can truly make a day that more magical.
#4: "POR FAVOR MANTENGANSE ALEJADO DE LAS PUERTAS"
You guessed it? THE MONORAIL! It was my first time ever on the monorail and you couldn't get into a funnier situation then what we got ourselves into. I'm still a noob in the world of Disney compared to most DISers especially when it comes to forms of Disney transportation that isn't the buses. Putting all of us noobs in the situation of getting from one park to another, let's just say we make things more complicated than they should... And for that to happen TWICE over the course of consecutive days, my DISerly love for the monorail will be forever unique.
#3 ONE PARTICULAR JAUNT THROUGH WORLD SHOWCASE
I think I'm the only one who laughs at this. What person runs through World Showcase barefooted? *raises hands* Now, you understand? There's also a lesson here for the kids, NEVER and I repeat N.E.V.E.R. wear flip flops in Disney, it may just lead to situations like this. Of course, the fact that I did run for World Showcase gave me a lead onto which bus would bring me to the resort, so it was just a happy memory even with the stinging pain of blisters...
#2: OVERSIZED WATER BOTTLES!
It is just amazing how strong a mark something as simple as water a bottle left a mark on our trip. These were HUGE and carried all of us through our full day in Magic Kingdom. I think when you start taking pictures of this water bottle then you know that there is something special about it. Because of these, my outlook on the size and state of water bottles will never be the same. I will be forever awestruck by these freaks of nature.
And, last, but certainly not least....
#1: YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE THE B-E-S-T!
The number one "Tidbit" of this whole trip. I'm sure for anyone who was there that day will remember this moment forever, even in old age, watching generations of yourself running around the World, we'll always remember this. Who knew a cheer as annoying as this would become our quote for the rest of the trip and we still sing it today whenever we come to a theme park. If those cheerleaders hadn't switched bus lines these prophetic words would've never met our ears. All aside, "You know that we are the B-E-S-T! Better than all of the R-E-S-T!"
I'd also like to highlight a few other special tidbits from this trip that were fairly memorable such as our IllumiNations Dinner on Italy Isola, my first ride on Tower of Terror, Pin Trading and many others, but the ones I listed were definitely the highlights of this trip.
