Well then. I had fallen asleep for about an hour when I woke to someone straddled over my back, bouncing and screaming "Jennnnnnnnnn. Wake UUUUUP." Guess who? Vicky. Groan. Grumble. Went back to sleep. I have no idea how long they all attempted to wake me up but it worked eventually. See, Vicky has this evil plot to wake me up all the time because I used to call her at about 10AM and she'd still be sleeping. But know what? She keeps her cell phone right by her bed, and she doesn't turn it off. So basically every time she sees me sleeping she will wake me up. Even though I've only done that a few times. She believes that someone I deserve it. Anyway. They make me get dressed again, and we're going to go for the award of doing the most amount of things in a day. We flew on a plane. Got to the hotel. Went to Magic Kingdom. And now we're going to go to MGM. This is the amount of energy a teenager has.
It was off to eat at Old Port Royale again, and I guess I should describe it a little bit. It's kinda like the inside of the Aladdin Hotel in Vegas, you know the inside marketplace sort of deal. There's different "shops" where you can get things like a hamburger, chicken nuggets, desserts and things like that. There's a lot of tropical colors and they have calaypso music playing, which when you're in there for a long amount of time you want to hunt down the person who came up with that idea and bash them over the head with a drum stick. And you know what else is weird? There's SELF FLUSHING TIOLETS. Yes, you heard me right.
I had gone to the bathroom you know, stood up and a few seconds later I hear flushing. The first few thoughts in my head is 'Holy (Beep) Someone is behind me. They're probably looking at my ***. No. That's not right'. I turn around, notice the water is .. well.. clear. But I distinctly remember peeing. I sit down again. Nope. Don't have to go. Stand up.. The water flushes again. I catch it just in time. I search for the handle, maybe a piece of clothing is stuck. That's when it finally dawns on me. They flush all by themselves! Who thought of this? And didn't they realize this could give someone a heart attack? See I'm not all that quick with the uptake sometimes.
The bathrooms in OPR were pretty though!
We ate, and headed off to the bus stop. It was only about a ten minute wait I think, but people were starting to pile up. They all wanted the Magic Kingdom bus. Hah, Suckers! Ahem. I'm so kind. Once we got there I was like.. "Eee! I'm home!", I love things related to entertainment. Magic Kingdom isn't really my thing, it's more for the kid crowd and I liked that it seemed geared more for our age group. I can't really remember what we did sadly, but the one thing I do remember is we went to see Fantasmic. For some reason this is the only Disney show that I don't like. It could have been that I was being eaten alive by bugs, so I was itchy and still kinda sweaty. Doesn't that make a girl feel all warm and fuzzy? No. But you know what does? When they set the lake on fire! Maybe it's just me but that part freaked me out. It was so hot and we weren't even that close. So then I start thinking, wow.. If it's hot up here then to be stuck in flames would be.. You don't even want to know where that went. As you can tell I'm slightly paranoid. Emphasis on the slightly.
At first the image on water thing thrilled me, but it went on for too long. Yawn. Then the best thing ever happened. Lilo and Stitch were on a float. I tug on any piece of Mary's clothing I can grab "LILO AND STITCH! LOOK LOOK!" .. I feel ignored. "VICKY! DANIELLE! THERE'S LILO AND STITCH! OH MY GOD." I somehow revert back to age six or so when I see a Disney character. They just nodded, smiled, and attempted to pretend that their friends mental capacity did not shrink right before their eyes.
Lilo and Stitch left after a short stint and eventually the show ended. Disney really needs to improve of the whole leaving the arena thing. It was impossible to move, we were all like zombies following one another. The park closed right after that but they let people shop for a while, that was cool. Except for the fact that one of the people in our group turned into a klepto that night. It was not me! I'd be too scared to be arrested. Well anyway, we kept going in and out of stores and I just kept looking at things oblivious to everything. It wasn't until we got back to the hotel with a small bag full of things that were not purchased that I realized what had gone on. My first reaction was complete horror. We totalled how back everything came to. I believe it was about $89. Okay, it wasn't a felony yet. Basically, I was in complete shock. This was Disney World! Bad things didn't happen here! But what was I going to do? I just stayed very far away from her when we went to stores.
Anyway. Back to the hotel again. We all get into our PJ's and it's about 10pm now. Nobody wants to go to sleep, Okay.. Maybe I do a little bit but I don't want to miss out on anything. We all decide that we're going to go to Downtown Disney. Yes. Just another thing to add onto the list of things that we did in one day. It was about 11pm by the time we got there and we walked around, taking everything in.
"Oh look. A pin store *snort* well I know none of us want to go in there." You know. I feel bad I said that, because the next day I found out that Danielle really did want to go in there but didn't want to look like a dork. Aw. Oopsie. Me and my big mouth.
Wow! There's Pleasure Island. Let's just try to get in, even though only one of us in 18 and we don't have fake ID's! A young guy checked our ID's, and stamped us all "18" !! Yay. I just wanted to hug him. I don't do the whole dance club thing but I knew there was the comedy club so I didn't start to have a panic attack. Until Vicky and Danielle wanted to go into the BET club. I refused to walk in there, because I knew if they liked it that they were NOT going to leave. Then I would be stuck. I'm very weird when it comes to things of this nature, I feel extremely out of place in those kind of situations and doesn't everyone hate that feeling? So why torture yourself. Mary didn't want to go in either, she didn't mind but she didn't want to stay in there. So I come up with the bright idea of me and Mary going on the line for the Comedy club and by the time Danielle and Vicky checked out the BET club they'd be letting everyone in.
Mary did not want to cooperate with this plan. Usually she never stands up for much but the one time I need her not to, she does. The thought of going into the club was pure horror. And I felt betrayed by Mary. She was siding with them. I was the odd one out. Three against one. I couldn't understand why she just wouldn't do me the favor and go with me. It's not like she wanted to go in the club! I later found out she didn't want to split up. Yet later on in the trip she had no problem with it.
I'm not used to compromise. Remember, only child syndrom. This ended up escalating into a large fight include screaming, foul language and lots of tempers flaring. Vicky refused to get involved, and normally she's the one to settle things. But since everyone was on her side, why should she bother? Now you're asking yourself, what happened? I acted mature. *Snort*
I shouted "(Beep) This!" and left.
I ended up getting lost on the outskirts of downtown Disney, near tears because of the pain in my leg and the blisters on my feet. There was absolutely not one person in sight. I was actually outside of the gates. Almost right on Lake Buena Vista Drive or whatever it's called. I walked (limped) for twenty minutes until I found the bus stop, then praised the lord for a chance to sit. The bus ride back I spent attempting not to cry. The hysterics started right after the bus left, I was walking to the building when I spotted a huge bug, and just started sobbing. This was not what I pictured. This is not what I spent all those miserable hours in the nursery to get. I was not feeling the Disney Magic.
I cried for about an hour, until they got back. I tried to hide it but my white pillow had big crowd wet spots all over it and mascara had smeared all the way down my face. They ignored me for a while, then tried to talk about it but everyone thought they were right so nothing got solved. We went to bed singing the Golden Girls theme song, and watching them on the TV.
Thank god for Lifetime.
