Tuesday, May 27th. Our first full day in the World!
Oh yea. Time for a dance break:
Shake ya’ booty! We’re in Disney! Shake ya’ booty! Tiz a frenzy! (meeska…I KNOW you can hear me singin’ that song! And for the record…it’s really hard to find something that rhymes with Disney!)
Mmmmmmkay…and I’m better.
The phone rang at 6:00 AM on the freakin’ dot. And I rolled over to answer it. Or…as I did every morning…I lifted the phone and slammed it back down without even wanting to hear a cheery “Good Morning” from anyone.
The whole only sleeping a few hours thing was not going to work. Between everyone’s snoring…I was going to die. Or kill one of them.
Mom…in the meantime…was still snoring away.
So, I kick back the covers and do the “STARE” at her until she wakes up. Still works…even when you’re as old as I am! Ya’ll know what I’m talking about. Especially if you have kids. You’re sleeping soundly…and then you open one eye…and you’ve got a kid staring straight back at you just inches from your nose. Gives me a heart attack every time. Why can’t they just call your name or something? Knock on the door? Shoot off a gun? Geez…
Anyway…
Me: Mom, it’s 6:00. You slept through the wake-up call.
Her: Mmmmmm…Iiiiii’mmmmmuuuuup!
So, I climb back into bed as she hops out of hers.
I see her cross the room in front of me and she peeks out the curtains to the outside.
Then she says:
“Uhhhh…it’s dark.”
Me: Well, no crap Sherlock. It’s 6:00 in the morning.
Her: I can’t walk all the way across the hotel in the DARK. What if I get kidnapped?
Me: They’ll bring you back.
Her: Well, I’m not going. Why couldn’t you have gotten us a room closer to the gym?
Me: To torture you mother. Just to torture you. I’m secretly plotting for your butt to get bigger.
I roll back over and go back to sleep. I don’t feel like playing her games this early in the morning.
At 7:00, my back-up alarm goes off. And I leap out of bed…with the energy of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.
And beeeend…..and snap!
I jump on the bed to wake up Jon. And if you think I’m joking…just ask him. I’m allowed to jump on beds. I’ve earned it in my old age.
And I tickle Lexie awake as well. The motha hadn’t been able to fall back to sleep since the 6 AM wake-up. Heh heh.
We all get up and have breakfast in the room. And we’re out to the bus by 8:15.
‘Nother dance break…
We’re going to MK! This is my favorite day! We’re going to MK! I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Here’s Lexie Lou on her first bus to the parks!!
We’re at MK by 8:40. And since it’s EMH…we were let right in. We didn’t make it at 8:00…but this ain’t too shabby!
Inhale. Exhale.
We’re heeeeeeere!
Mom heads straight to get Lexie a stroller. And I head straight to Guest Services for Jon’s GAC.
We meet in front of the stroller stop, and who do we see right in front of us???
“Pooto”, as Lexie says. But, the line was too long. So, we bypassed Pooto and headed to catch our first glimpse of:
Inhale. Exhale.
And of course, I tear up like a dweeb. Just like I do every trip. Because behind this witchy exterior, I really do have a heart. Somewhere.
Today…we will be doing the left half of the park. It’s my system and it works. Shut-up.
So, we’re off for our traditional “first ride” of every trip.
THE JUNGLE CRUISE! We walked right on with no wait!
Lexie on her first ride!
Our guide!
Some of the native camps…
OH NO! Someone ransacked our campsite!
Was it them??
Head Hunters!
Are they after them??
Hip…hip hop…hip hop anonymous…
Elephants!!!
Other indigenous species!
Aldergators!
And a sneaky snake!
The Falls!!!
And the highlight of it all: THE BACKSIDE OF WATER!
***Can you believe my motha didn’t even laugh at that bit. Geez. Get a sense of humor!
I just looooooove that ride!
We hopped off and went to my favorite ride of all time!
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!
And let’s stop for a moment and just reflect…
Really…where HAS all the rum gone???
Hmmmm…that is the question.
Our pictures…that we may or may not have tried to snap on this ride…didn’t turn out.
From here…we headed over to one of Jon’s favs…
ALADDIN! We again walked right on!
Jon made me triple dog swear not to crank us up to the top. And so of course…
I did!
What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t torture my own flesh and blood???
