Day One
Left my house at 4:30 am. Yes, thats right. Why? Because Nancy and I wanted to make the most of our days, so we both had early morning flights so that we could basically have the whole day in Florida. While en route to the airport, I figured Id give Nancy a call. Because who else am I going to call at 5:30 am. Of course, the Amish girl doesnt have her cell phone on.
Smooth flight. As soon as my plane landed, I checked my cell, and Nancy had texted me that she had just landed, too. Seriously, our flights were ten minutes apart. We had a PLAN! So we texted back and forth a bunch while at baggage claim, etc. and decided we would meet in front of the Dollar Rental Car counter. So Im there waiting
and waiting. And I cant be missed because it was pretty empty in that part of the airport and I was standing smack in the middle of the aisle.
So Nancy and I start texting again
where are you? No, where are you? We are BOTH in front of the Dollar Car counters. Hmmm. Different terminals! Idiots. More texting. Then my phone actually rings. Its Nancy. DUH. Why are we texting when we can just call each other? Hello, we are in the same airport. (Note: this is some foreshadowing of how the next few days will go!) So we finally connect, hug it out, are super happy and excited. Liz calls and is entering the MK and wants to know when we are getting there. Um, we just met each other this second. Were on the way.
We walk right out to the rental car, because again, we have a PLAN. No waiting in lines, we have the express pass and are ready to go. At the rental counter, the guy offers us a choice of vehicles. I ask, Which one is cuter? and Nancy simultaneously asks, What color are they? Oh yeah, we are so on the same page!
We throw our luggage in the car and no sooner than we sit in the front seat when Nancy turns to me and says, Its nice to finally meet you and all, but I am going to change my pants. Right now, here, in the car. I am laughing my a$$ off. So we are getting ready to pull out of the parking garage and notice that some of the interior car lights are still on. Is there a door still open? I tell Nancy that on my car, there is a little picture when a door isnt all the way closed. And I dont see a picture on the dash. But there is a huge light up letter R. What does R mean? Nancy says
Reverse! Ha! More side-splitting laughter.
Finally on our way, with the help of Sheila my GPS. I had to explain to Nancy that I named the voice of my GPS and you have to be really nice to her because shes a little bit special. And if you yell at her, shell screw you over and give you bad directions. Now, most people would hear this and think, crazy girl! But Nancy was like, Oh, my GPS is named Emily and is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Again, totally same page. This is going to work out perfectly!
Yes, all of this before we even leave the airport.
Off to the MK! Smooth sailing driving from MCO to MK. Park the car, hop the tram, and text Liz. Nancy and I went to get FPs for Big Thunder and then meet with the rest of the gang in front of Small World.
This isnt the end of Day One. Just Day One, Part One. Part two will come later. Reality, you know?
Isn't it obvious why E lost weight? I ate all her food! Poor girl!
