So, where was I, four months ago ??? Oh yeah, of course. We were on our way to Downtown Disney for some shopping (because we haven't shopped enough yet).
Grumpy was Grumpy. She wanted her Poly and her pool. But I will not be denied my last dose of shopping. Besides, it wouldn't take long. I shop pretty fast.
And shop we did. Okay, fine,
I did. See I had decided I wanted a Mickey-themed kitchen in the new apartment that I didn't yet have. So I needed kitcheny stuff. World of Disney had that. Then, I wanted treats. Off to Goofy's. Darnit, forgot to bring presents for the friends at work !! Back to World of Disney we go.
Finally my credit card gave out and Grumpy dragged me to the bus stop. Where we waited. And waited. And waited. For close to 45mns until a Poly bus finally showed up.
And the darn bus first stopped by Typhoon Lagoon. And then Contemporary, where we had to wait for them to switch drivers.
It took us over an hour and a half to get back to the Poly !! Grumpy was fuming, and it didn't help that we were seated next to the loudest, most annoying group of adults we'd encountered in a while. Apparently they were heading to dinner that night and felt the need to discuss outfits all the way from Typhoon Lagoon to the Poly, in great details. If she wore the blue dress, would her pink bra show ? Should she not wear a bra at all ? Could she borrow her mom's blue bra ? What about the pink dress with the purple bra ?
I was about to take my own giant bra off and beat her to death with it when we finally reached our resort. They were staying there too. In OUR hotel. In OUR building. On OUR floor.
"On the bright side, if you need a pink bra, you know where to go."
It was a gorgeous afternoon and I wanted to take pics of the beach outside. I opened the balcony doors wide so I could take pics of our view.
Pretty, hey ?
"What are you... HEEEEEEEEY DO YOU MIND???????????"
Oops. I had kind of forgotten Grumpy was getting changed into her swimsuit. The moon was out in the middle of the afternoon and I'm fairly certain Grumpy flashed the Concierge lounge in the next buidling. Sorry about that, Grumps.
My mom headed to the pool and I had postcards to mail so I headed to the Grand Ceremonial house, taking pics along the way.
Somehow I ended up in a shop again.... but I swear, I barely bought anything. Just a shirt or two.. couple hats... a towel... It just wasn't a good idea for my mom to put charging priviledges on the room key.
On my way back I stopped to get her a Dole Whip and bring it to her at the pool. I found her lying face down on her towel, she didn't hear me coming so I put the ice cold cup on her back.
"GAH!.. oooh.. yummy..."
That night was evening EMH at Epcot and we wanted to take advantage of that. We got dressed and I suggested we walk to the Transportation and Ticket Center instead of taking the monorail. I heard you could walk there from the Poly but we had never done it yet.
So we did. In about five and a half minutes. Grumpy couldn't believe it ! She HATES transferring monorails at the TTC.
We soon entered Epcot. It was still very nice outside.
(Hey, this is actually a nice pic of this family in front. Too bad I don't know them.)
I wanted to ride Spaceship Earth but Grumpy wanted to head to the World Showcase right away and see if we could sit at Cantina de San Angel to watch Illuminations. I pointed out that it was 7.30 and that the chances of us getting a water-side table was about nil but she insisted.
Well wouldn't you know that just as we reached Cantina, a couple sitting in front of the water stood up and left ?? I literally THREW my mom on that table. How lucky can we be !!!!!
ERRR... what's happening up there ? Where did the blue go ???
. That is priceless! And I actually prefer to sit in the front row on ToT. You get an actual handle to hold onto instead of those stupid little knobs they have between the rest of the seats.
is it over?
waiting for an update!
