When I last left you, we were anticipating that Big Gulp werent we, so here we go:
The Day Before the Big Gulp!
1 word: packing
I spent this day making sure that I had packed up the last remaining things on my list. Making sure that the school knew to send the kids homework home with them to do at Grandmas house. Trying to tie up all those loose ends. It was nerve-wracking. I slept, maybe, 5 hours the night before.
Miraculously, though I got it all packed (or so I thought). Went to work early so that I could get off an hour earlier. Picked the kiddos up from school, headed home for a few so that Crashdad could get the rest of his act together, and we were GONE, Baby! Southbound and down.
We got oh, Id say 10 miles away from the house and realized that I forgot my cell phone charger, oops. Nope, we are not going back for it. My Grandmother, Lord rest her soul, taught me many superstitions. Here is a list of my favorites: throwing salt over your left shoulder if you should happen to spill it, if your nose itches its because someone just walked over the site of your grave, and last but not least, if you leave the house and have to return, you have to sit down and count to 10 or it is bad luck. For me, its just easier to NOT GO BACK. So we didnt. Besides, Crashdad informed me that he brought his charger and that would be fine, I would just shut mine off to conserve battery power. Matter was settled (so we thought) and we continued on down the highway toward Dallas, TX.
Things got a little creepy-dee
I drove all the way through Oklahoma City and then some. Got stuck in 2, count them 2, traffic jams there. The first one, was due to some sort of Halloween related event at Frontier City (for those that do not know what this is: think a poor mans Universal sort of thing). The second jam, was a minor fender bender just between OKC and Moore.
Unfortuantely, I was beginning to think that my trip was going to be like Happyhaunts was because my stomach was suddenly telling me that it did not like my lunch earlier that day. Long story short, we had to stop 2 extra times for my stomach issues. It pained me, literally, to have to stop.
We finally pulled into my Moms about 11ishpm. She immediately informs me that there had been a flub in the plan on her part. She failed to realize that Papa (my step-dad) had to go to work 2 hours before we have any need to be anywhere near the airport. After some discussion, I decided to call a cab to come get us. Pay attention to this flub, because it will come back to haunt us all later. Called the dispatcher, gave her my Moms address twice. We head to sleep for a good 3 hours, yeah right!
The Big Gulp, Finally!
Papa wakes us up as he leaves for work , and we start to get ready for our departure. At 4:15 the phone rings, its the cab company. No cab for you! They sent him to the wrong address. Fortunately, this cab driver speaks English and knows how to get where we are. 6 minutes later, he arrives. Please meet our cab driver.
His name was Something Cabot, we like to call him Driver Gallagher. Now, honestly, he was really trying his best to entertain us. At 4:30am, though, I am not really looking for entertainment. He really was a funny-ish guy. I wondered if he would make a good Jungle Cruise skipper???
So, we arrive at the DFW airport for our first visit there. We really expected it to be more crowded. We went through security and were complimented on having our liquids in the approved 1-qt ziplock baggie. Although he said we deserved blue ribbons, sadly, none appeared for the scrapbook. I told him we had our baggies because I am an obsessive over-planner. He didnt get the joke, but thats ok because we did. Got through security easily, no wanding necessary, and made it to our bustling gate:
Crickets .
We had a long-ish wait now. Eventually, other Disney travelers started to appear and, since I am me, conversations struck up almost immediately. They informed me that a couple of weeks ago they were here and it took 3 hours to clear security, so it wasnt such a bad thing that we had arrived so early today. This gal was an amputee, so major props go out to her for doing Disney with her new prosthesis. If she is reading this (I didnt ask her if she was a DISer), I hope that her Orlando balloon ride was awesome!
Eventually our quiet gate became quite crowded. I saw a little boy spinning circles and crash into an older lady carrying a tray of coffee from Starbucks. It spilt all over her and the little boy. I walked over and offered her a wet wipe, because I am an obsessive over-packer. This was the only time I needed them the whole trip. As the gate became more and more crowded, I just knew that they had over-booked this flight and, for a moment, pondered whether or not I could make 3600 on my way to WDW!!???
Up next: Do We or Don't We... and more coffee mayhem!

Ok so we were at the over-crowded gate and...
I was right, they announced that they needed 5 people to surrender their seats for other compensation. They must have found them quickly, because almost immediately, they started boarding us. They boarded our section right after First Class. There was a lady in front of me with long, red hair and she was carrying a toddler. Unfortunately, for her and the man sitting in first class with his fresh cup of hot airplane coffee, as she walked by, her toddlers foot caught the tray table and spilled hot coffee all over him. She was in tears by the time we made our way to the back of the airplane. I felt sorry for them both. It really was an accident. I told her it was going to be OK. I hope that she and her family had a great rest of the trip though.
I got really lucky, and the third person in our row never showed up for the flight!! Crashdad and I had the whole row to ourselves (which was a little weird considering that they asked folks to give up their seats?)!! Yippee!!
We were on our way!
As the plane started to taxi away, I found myself tearing up. It finally sunk in that we were really going. All the turmoil of the last year, and the fatigue of the last few weeks in particular just started to flood me with emotions: joy, relief, sorrow, gratitude, you name it I felt it. I felt so blessed to be able to take this trip with Crashdad, and I just knew it was going to be a wonderful adventure. I sad a prayer for our flight and all the Maelstrommers and DISers that were also flying today and the week to come. I sat and watched Crashdad stare out the window and so thrilled to be there with him.
The rest of the flight was uneventful, and I would fly Airtran Airways again.
We made it to the main terminal and saw the Magical Express people telling people which way to go. Unfortunately for me, my ears were still ringing a bit, so I only heard the word cruises, so I thought that we were maybe going the wrong way. Although it didnt matter to me, because I DIS, I knew where I needed to go. He teased me a bit and reiterated what he had said. If I hadnt been up for the last umpteen hours, I might have found it funny. As it was, I did not, and shrugged him off and made my way to the stairway (or was it an escalator, I forget). FYI, upon departure from WDW, we learned that they moved it from A side to B side. We found our first Disney queue and got in line for check-in. Several non-DISer's asked me why we needed to check-in, why couldn't they just get on the bus to their resort. I must have had one of those Happyhaunt signs on my forehead that said "She DISes" because 2 or three poeple asked me this question. I politely pointed out that they needed to know that you had arrived so that they would know to retrieve your luggage for you. "oh yeah, that makes sense," was the general reply. No problem, glad I could help. No I was not wearing a LGMHPC at all. I just did not get around to making it and laminating it. *I can hear the air sucking out of the room, forgive me LGMHPCfriends*
We made it to the correct queue for Pop and waited. At some point the queues were not moving so much; and thus, a castmember wearing the Mickey hands spoke up saying OK folks, you get bonus points if you can answer this question (in a sing-song voice) Whos the leader of our club and all our family? To which we all replied with the appropriate M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! We actually won no prizes, but lots of smiles.
Finally, we boarded our ME motor coach to Pop Century. I took this picture of the right-hand side of the gateway from the window of the coach:
We arrived at Pop and got in yet another queue to check-in. By the time that we checked in, confirmed our fridge and upper floor, we were really hungry so we wandered over for our first look at Everything Pop.
Crashdad needed to eat, so I let him go first. I told him how to use his Key to the Kingdom, and sat down to read the check-in info they gave and to watch our bags. Finally, he returned with a Very Sloppy Joe and his refillable mug.
We joked about whether we would be able to keep track of it for the next 40-some years or so, or life whichever came first. He had finished his food before I returned with mine, so no pic. Here is what I ordered:
Yes, I am a dork that takes pictures of vacation food. Sue me. No, don't.
We were supposed to call after 3pm to get our room assignment, but because I DIS, I knew that it was likely that it may be ready. So, we made our way to a house phone and called the little number on the card. Yes, our room was ready: 4362. Now, the instructions say to have your map ready when you call. I know why now. I asked MsDon'tHaveAMap which building that was in and was told 70s. We walked toward 70s only to realize that there was no way that our room number could be over there. So, we headed back over toward the Hippy Dippy Pool, and found our room on the middle level on the far end away from the pool. Here are some pics:

I believe that was the Chicken Penne Alfredo. I think that the Parmesan Crusted Chicken comes with a salad instead, but it is the same chicken in both dishes.
It was yummy. Not fantastic, but to a tired, worn-out, needing-some-nourishment-traveler it hit the spot!

Do We Get To A Park???
Man we were tired after all the traveling. I knew that we were going to be at Magic Kingdom until closing at midnight, so I suggested that we take a short nap.
Yes, you read that right a nap. You see not only are we pasty white Midwesterners, but we are apparently getting to become Old Farts as well. Of course, it could also be due to the fact that we were just fatigued from, not only, the traveling but all that lead up to the traveling these last months, and most specifically, weeks. (Holy run-on sentences Batman!) So, after a quick shower to rid ourselves of the airline gunk, we did. Nap.
We woke up, grabbed our stuff, made it to the bus stop and off to Magic Kingdom.
Because our bottled waters (that we placed into the fridge at Pop) were not cool yet, we stopped in at the Main Street Bakery for waters. I was about to check out by paying cash (because I just couldnt waste a snack credit on water), when I noticed the rice-krispy-Mickeyheads-on-a-stick-with-the-ears-dipped-in-chocolate-with-sprinkles. So we used our first snack credits for the Mickeyheads! Yummo they were all that I had heard they were here on the DIS. We wandered further into the Castle hub, and took these pics of the new Castle show.
OOOOOh Maleficient!
I thought the Maleficient fireworks were fun. I never saw Cinderellabration, but I have to say that I liked this show. It was all about believing in the power of dreams, and that dreams can come true. I did get a little teary at the finale. It occurred to me that dreams really do come true or I wouldnt be standing here with Crashdad at this very moment. So, thanks to Walt for making this place that was all started by a mouse and a dream. Dreams really do come true.
After the castle show was over, I really wanted to ride Space Mountain. But I knew that Crashdad is not a thrill-junkie, so I suggested Pirates of the Caribbean instead. I got a couple of pics, sadly none of the ones of Captain Jack turned out. I forgot to set it on motion mode. I did snap this pic of my favorite scene.
Really enjoyed the new POTC elements from the movie and spent a few minutes in the dump shop. I was trying to decide whether to get a t-shirt or pirate ears of some sort. Their computers were down so no Key to the Kingdom could be used to purchase, so I took that as a sign that it wasnt meant to be for either. We headed over to Liberty Square and the Haunted Mansion.
I had forgotten how great this ride is! As we moved into the Dead Center of the room, we were very impressed with the Castmember in the stretching room. Not because she creeped anyone out, but because of her attention to detail. Standing near me, was a mother holding a toddler. Just before the hanging scene unfolded, she quietly walked over to them and placed a Minnie Mouse sticker on the toddlers shirt and then tapped on it to draw the childs attention away from what was about to appear up there. Hence the toddler missed the potentially scary moment and did NOT start shrieking. The Mom was nearly oblivious to the whole scene. By the time she figured out what had just happened, it was over. Great work of the part of this castmember!! Crashdad really enjoyed his first ride on Haunted Mansion!
Next we hoofed it into Fantasy Land to ride Its a Small World, just because it is so quintessentially Disney. After that, it was time for our ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern for Goofys Liberate Your Appetite Dinner. I chose ADRs for this trip that we will not be experiencing when we return in December. This one we paid for OOP instead of using our Free Dining credits. We checked in at the podium and in no time at all they called PastyWhiteMidwesterner's from the Great State of Kansas. We had a blast here watching the characters interact with everyone, including us!
Ok there is a picture of me w/ Goofy, but Crashdad did not do me the favor of waiting until I was done chewing, so that picture will never see the light of day. Chip also came over and kissed my hand and the pretended to fight with Crashdad.
We really liked the marinated flank steak, appreciated that the mashed potatoes were real mashed potatoes and not instant, and the strawberry vinaigrette on the salad was yummy. The ham was cold and I dont care for mac-n-cheese, but the rest of the meal was good. Something fantastic happened during this meal though, so I had to get a picture of it:
Crashdad found his grin again! I hadnt seen that smile in months it seems.
