Afterwards, we walked over to DinoLand and rode Dinosaur, stand-by. If I remember, the wait time posted was only 20 minutes. After we finished, it was around 11:30 and everyone seemed hungry, so we decided to grab some lunch. I think Kevin really wanted some Flame Tree, but the kids didnt want that, and they were starting to fuss about the heat. They didnt want to get pizza either, so we just decided to go in Restaurantosaurus. I think everyone wound up ordering either chicken nuggets or bacon cheeseburgers. It was standard Disney counter service, but at least it was cool inside out of the heat.
As we finished up and headed out to leave, we realized that we could catch the 1:00 Nemo show. So we walked over and moved through the line. Dana (racefanof88) had called during lunch, and I had missed her call, so I returned her call while we were walking into the theater. Dallas and Reid wanted to meet up, but we decided that wed try after the show.
It was still about 25 minutes until show time, and we managed to get a great seat---4th row from the front in the center section!
Since we had time to sit, rest, relax, and cool off, the kids took advantage of the time to listen to their iPods and, of course, text their friends!
Time for the show!
I really love the message of this show. As a parent, I love my kids, and while I want to protect them, I know I have to let them go out into the world and let them fly. A lady I know put it this way---Your kids are like beautiful butterflies that you take such good care of and love, but in the end, you want them to spread their wings and fly.
After leaving the show, I tried to get back with Dana, but they had left the park. Their room at CBR was ready, and they were heading over there to get checked in.
We walked back over to EE and used our fast passes.
Now, this time, Kevin decided he would ride as the fifth person in our family. Because the crowd had grown, they were pulling single riders to fill in the spot. As we got seated, I looked back to see who was sitting with him, and I saw an attractive, older lady. She was talking to him, asking him about his family. He pointed us out in front of him. As I looked back, she said, Is this ok? I guess she wanted to know if I was ok with her riding with him. I laughed and said Sure! It was time for the ride to start, and I forgot about her for a moment. When the ride stoped-at the ripped-out track-I looked back---This lady had her arm through the crook of my husbands arm, holding onto him.
I didnt have time to think about it, because we were off flying backwards into the mountain. As the ride ended, the brakes engaged, I looked back over my shoulder. Not only was this lady still holding onto Kevin, but now she had her face completely turned into his shoulder!
The kids and I started laughing. After getting off the ride, she looked at me, and kept saying, Im so sorry, Im so sorry!
Well, come to find out, Kevin said that when the ride started, she had told him that she didnt like roller coasters or heights!
Her husband had told her this was a train ride. 
After that first big hill, she grabbed Kevins arm. At the stop, before the backwards part, Kevin said he told her that we were about to go backwards. Thats when she buried her face in his shoulder. He said she was crying, and she kept saying, Im so sorry, Kevin.
Needless to say that when she came off that ride, she was looking for her husband, ready to give him a piece of her mind!
While I felt bad for her, we laughed and laughed about it. Its not every day you go to Disney, and a complete stranger holds onto you and presses their face into your shoulder---Of course, except for park exit at closing time or the oh, so loved, Fantasmic exit!

this morning!! Like Jackie, I would love to know what she had to say to her hubby after that (did he not ride with her 
)
Y'all will have so much fun! As hot as it is here at home, can you imagine how hot it's going to be in FL? Sounds like lots of pool time!
