But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
Yes, we were still flying high from our awesome win!
About this time most everyone is scattering to do different things. There was a group that was going on a tour, another that was heading back to the rooms, and the rest were going their own ways in the parks. The group that remained was Amy Sue, Steph, Cristabel, Melody, Molly, Michelle, and myself.
Now comes the questions....."what do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" "It doesn't matter to me." "Well I don't care either." "So what do you want to do?".
Yeah, this went on for some time until decisions were made.
Finally it was decided we would board the train at Main Street and take it to New Orleans Station then hike up the mountain to Splash. It was funny we picked this ride since no one wanted to do it, but we all wanted to ride together. Go figure. The good thing was that we didn't have to wait for it. We all had either fast passes we had gotten earlier in the day, or we used one of the fast passes we received from the DVC tour the night before.
SWEET!
While in line we thought it would be funny to take pics of us dressed in our anti Splash water gear. And yes, for some reason I am giving the Zoolander "Blue Steel" look while throwing a peace sign. Why? I dont' know.
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
So, just to let everyone know, they do not allow 7 adults into one boat. It would just weigh it down to much. Obviously the cast member took a quick glance at our hineys and knew they made a good rule with that one. But we had already decided how we were gonna sit. No go. They made us split up into two boats. Thats cool I guess. Like I had another choice.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder,
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll."
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
Most have been on this ride so I will skip over the ride itself and just get to the end. Yes, there was a huge splash (hence the name) and a tidal wave that followed. Even though we didn't have 7 adults in one boat, it was still pretty loaded down. And even with everyone's anti splash water gear, we got wet.
We all unloaded the ride and although our tops were dry, most everyone had wet bottoms.
No good. No one needs wet undies. So we all huddled at the exit trying to decide the best way to not call so much attention to ourselves and get somewhere that we could check to see how wet our bottoms really were. So we enlisted the help of someone in the air force to help us with some recon and try to get us to be stealth. Good thing Steph was there.
So first thing we decided was that we look strange. A huge group of ladies walking around with matching shirts, lanyands, some with medals from winning a scavenger hunt, some with other doo hickeys and such.
That is why we made the decision to try to not look so obvious. We took off our lanyards and tried to disguise ourselves as much as possible.
Nest thing was that we wanted to be seen by the least ammount of people. So going across the way in groups of two and three and cutting through the Pooh store then making a straight shot to the Hungry Bear bathrooms was the route we were taking.
You can almost hear the Mission Impossible theme music now.
But something went horribly wrong. Once we started walking out of the shadows of the exit, we scattered and started running around like we had ants in our pants. Everyone started heading straight to the meeting spot (aka Hungry Bear bathrooms). What the heck happened to no man left behind?
I didn't want to be left behind with my wet bottoms alone, so I needed to pick up my game. How so? Instead of going around the ropes to the ride picture I went over them. I totally hurdled like I was in the Olympics. I hurdled the darn ropes, yes there was more than one, then sprinted, I will repeat that......I hurdled and sprinted to the Hungry Bear bathrooms.
Once there we were all sorta bummed we had wet undies and contemplated heading back to the rooms. Nah, lets eat!
While hiking back up the mountain, I ran into the cutest couple. So I asked them if I could take their pic. They were sweet enough to let me. I need to make sure I let you all know that he also wore a matching tail. Sorry, no pic of that though.
No one could decide on what to eat, so everyone was just going to grab some counter service and we were all gonna meet at the tables outside of the Riverbelle. Some of us had chimmichangas, others got stuff from Stagedoor or Rancho, and someone had ordered from Riverbelle. We sat and realxed a bit as we ate. Sorry, no pics, too hungry.
It was fun going over the stuff from earlier in the day with each other. But all good things must come to an end. Cristabel and Amy Sue were leaving to head home and Michelle and Melody decided to head back to the rooms.
We said our good byes, we'll miss you's and catch up with you laters. Then Steph, Molly and I were off to go on another adventure.
Up next.......hey, is that Charlie's Angels or the three stoodges?
.
.
. I will definately be attending future meets and I hope to meet lots of new, fun ladies (and see some of the old ones too 
).
