I have just about lost my will to complete this trip report, mainly because I have just about forgotten the order of how things occured, but I will press on and try as best I can to maintain the integrity of the trippie as best I can.
So after returning the wheelchair from hell to Epcot's International Gateway, we take a trip to see Off Kilter which I LOVE, but sadly, Jamie wasn't there that night and it just wasn't the same, so we left and headed over to MGM. We rode GMR,ST and then went to VLM and Narnia and then over to RNR and TOT. I lost my cell phone on RNR because it fell out of my pocket. I didn't realize it until we got off of the ride, and when I went back to tell the cm she pushed me back like I was about to be hit by and incoming ride vehicle, but I was a good 4 feet away from the track. I was quite taken aback by her over zealous attempt at saving my life, since I am an adult who was well aware of where I was and was nowhere near the dang track for heaven's sake. Oh well, I am freakin' out now because I am sure that my phone is somewhere in the underworld of RnR and never to be seen again, when she comes back from some secret place with my phone. She said they have to sweep each car after each ride and they found it in the floorboard. Whew, that was a close call. This will prove to be only the first cell phone fiasco of the trip.
Then we talk Oblivia into staying for Fantasmic, but she doesn't want to wait for an hour in the line so we buzz over to the streets of America to see the Osborne lights which was so cool and it actually snowed on us that night. I thought it was just the fake stuff, but No it was actually snowing in Orlando. Needless to say the Osborne Lights were way cool and the freezing cold of the eveningl enhanced the experience because it actually felt Chritmassy.
We had to rush back across the park to make it in time for Fantasmic and we made our way in to get seats. By this time it is pretty much standing room only, but since Oblivia was in the wheelchair, we were able to get seats in the Handicap section, but almost all the way to the left side. We ended up sitting next to a family that was from our hometown. We discovered this because I was wearing my Alabama jacket and this family also had on Alabama attire, which inspired us to strike up a conversation. It turns out we actuall knew some of the same people and they even knew my BIL. "It's a small, small, world"
Of course Oblivia manages to pss them off when after the parents have spent untold $$$ to procure 3 light up toys for their kids, she begins to scold them for playing with them becasue they are disturbing her view. Now, I am the first person to admit that the kids should be told to be careful with them and not block people's view, she was not happy with just that...No she didn't want them playing with them at all. I agree that the dang things are annoying, but a third of the kids in the place had them, and after the parent has spent good money on them, you can't expect the poor little tykes to not play with the darn things. But oh, she was pssed off. It was not a fun situation to be in since there was clearly no way to make everyone invoved happy. You would think that a grown woman could give a little to placate toddlers, but no! She insisted that they stop playing with them. Well we just about froze our butts off, and I was unnerved by the tension about the light up toys but we made it thru Fantasmic, and headed back to the BWV aboard the Friendship boat which was PACKED to capacity and more I must say. But we had made it thru day 2 and were on our way back for some good old rest. On the way up to the room we saw the mime/juggler guy in the lobby that my son absolutely loved. He was great. I think he ususally does his act on the Boardwalk outside, but it was so cold he had moved is show into the lobby of the hotel. We watched him for a while and then went up for some sleep. I'm sure Oblivia had a faux marble moment in the elevator again, but by now we had just started ignoring them.
Tomorrow was early EMH at Epcot so we zonked out as soon as we hit the pillow to recharge for our final day...and for once we weren't dreading it.
Okay, so good night and don't worry about being in order because no one will ever really know 
!
I'll be praying for you and yours for the strength and guidance to get thru this rough time!
