Morning has broken; I'm intact, lizardless, and thankful. We begin to pull ourselves together for breakfast. PS tend to be both a relief and curse to me. On the one hand, I love knowing, well in advance of our stay, that somewhere in the annals of Disney data, they have recorded our existence and plan to accommodate our hunger on a given day at a given time. On the other hand, I always find myself then anxiously checking and re-checking that data what time is it again? Are we sure that Disney still has our ressie? And at that same time? For the right number of people? And what if were late? Will the Disney Gods delete us from their database, leaving us to wail and gnash our teeth on overpriced counter service fries? And then, when you do arrive, even though the policy on PS clearly states its not truly a reservation but merely that you will be seated at next availability, you somehow feel so denied, strangely wronged if you have to wait any length of time. In the past, if we were delayed for reasons outside our control (bus issues, storms, etc), I would find myself ever-tensing, nervously fretting. I imagined being greeted by a cold Soup Nazi CM who looked at our ressie and the clock and says bluntly, "No PS for you!" And thus, something that was intended to take the worry OUT of your trip suddenly becomes the thing that puts the worry IN. But hey, I am a smarter, savvier, wiser, older (uh, scratch that last one) Disney traveler now, am I not? (Just nod yes and play along.) I have the training of this board to thank for my knowledge and Disney-planning capabilites... I suppose that makes me "DIS-functional"....................................
......So on Chips 3rd time through, we stopped him and asked what the deal was where was his red-nosed counterpart? Chip made a motion that could only be interpreted as Chip is eating in the kitchen (that, or Im choking on an acorn, please call 911
) However, since he didnt turn blue or pass out, Ill stay with the former, not the latter. Never did get an explanation on that one.
I think the thing that makes it so funny to me is, I find myself reading with a very thick British accent.
) and I absolutely loved it. It was very funny. Your a great writer. I really wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it.
