My Darling Leslie

First let me tell you, I planned this whole thing out to a tee, and if it worked you would have had a Beauty and the Beast pin two days before it was released.

But did Peggie go along with the plan noooooooooooooo, just cause her daddy was there she wanted to be a good girl.

Now the plan… we were walking through Epcot, (food and wine festival you know) and we run into Peggie.

NO LANYARD NO PINS Nothing just looking at the pin boards like some lost tourist soul who just had her heart ripped out, she gave a big sigh (Sigggghhhhh) and then saw us.

All excited she said, "My family won't let me trade" Just then an angel of mercy appeared before us bright lights and everything, did I mention the wine festival hint hint.

Actually it was my favorite cast member, she waved her magic wand and said "fear not good pin children, for I have the Beauty and the beast pins, would thou likest to see them" Uhmm did I mention wine festival hee hee (hick up)

Actually she said, "hey you guys wanna see the pins?" We all yell yeah, and my mind starts spinning. I looked at Peggie and said, by the time we get to the back I'll have a plan to get that pin for Leslie.

We all agree for Leslie, we hold our hands to our chests pledge an oath of loyalty and we are off.

Problem #1 Pintrader is with us and has a hand full of pins from the pin station, she is so exited about seeing the pins she forgets all about them and walks past the no fly zone, Security swarms in… I smile and say oh they're still looking for Steve you know XZ's dad, then the cast member yells no they're after her and points to Kathryn… she freezes looks at security who now are now inserting bayonets on their night sticks, (we are in liberty Square after all) I yell lose the pins woman… another tourist from England yells "oh look dad a yanks bout to get her head ripped off, bloody good show these yanks put on" Kathryn yells "OMG the pins" and makes the mad dash back to the pin cart. A little girls yells " Run Forest Run" we all look in horror cause she's not that fast, but I'll tell you what folks she has the luck that one does… She makes a bee line for the Kodak sales cart, mind you, these people know nothing of pins… she yells at the Kodak person sell me these now, and he does… it was like one of those Capital One commercials all the security people stop in disgust, put the sticks down… Then the big guy looks at me and yells, "What's in your wallet"

Okay that done we continue to see the holy pin in the sacred pin grounds.

Problem #2 concerned about getting you the pin, I'm not watching where I'm going make a wrong turn and end up in the 5:30 beer tasting exposition which started a half hour early. These three ladies in fairy costumes grab me and say, "Say you look waayyy to cutesy to be be a prin traber"…" Yeas they're meanies and lanyarn hooger" I smile and say Thank you I said, all the while looking for the exit. Then the leader smiles and says "Why looky girls he's got pinsssss" and they grab my lanyard… Hey it worked once it might still work I yell "hey look its Susan Lucci you know Erica" they all turn and look at me and say "WHO??"… Uh oh think fast… "and she's got free beer" ohhhhhhhhh yea, and I'm free.

I meet up with the gang they ask what happened to you? I say forget it lets keep moving.

Problem #3 Cast member says stick your pins in your shirt so my manager won't know your pin people, so I do… Do you know those pins are sharp? I lose a nipple, but no big deal must get Leslie's pin so we move on.

We reach Valhalla and we are told to wait. Now I tell Peggie here is the plan when she gets back she'll have two pins a Song of the South, and the Beauty pin, we'll make a big deal about the Song pin, and just say the Beauty pin cost to much (its does to, its $18.00).

Now you say well let me see it anyway, and the minute you get the pin in your hand I'll grab my chest and yell "OHHHH NOOO its my heart" I'll drop to the ground and you start yelling "OMG Raul Raul He cant die now, who will lead the Caballero's all is lost… Then put the pin in your pocket, then the rest of you run around yelling no no not Raul… cast member will go get help and we run like crazy out of the park. No no even better we wait for the EMT's to arrive let them revive me, I can take 10'000 volts (hey I was hit by lightning twice, (true story I will share later) and lived) After the confusion we walk away and the pin will be forgotten about, and Leslie will have her prize.

Back up plan if all else fails, we yell at cast member "you have to sell us these pin now cause you showed them to us" and see if it works.

Cast member returns I wink and nod at all the players and we're on… See here are the pins, I say oooooo show us Song of the south cause Beauty pin to expensive. She does, we ooooo and aaaaaaa. I wink at Peggie, but she freezes nothing is said, cast member says anybody want to see the Beauty pin? they say nothing…. I yell "My friend here would like to see it" and I hold out Peggie's hand, and the pin is placed on her hand… Leslie she had it in her hand!!!!!!!.

I grab my chest and fall to the ground "AAAAAARRRGGGG its my heart" they all just stare at me and say nothing… Cast member kicks me and says stop that get up. They all stare at me some more and say nothing. So I get up we laugh and I say Uhmm it must have been the beer. Then we turn around to leave and Peggie still has the pin but then the cast member says hey did you guys see where I put that pin… and then it happened… as I turned around to say "what pin?"

Two things happened.

1 The cast member bent down to pick up the Song pin, and said oh never mind here it is.
2 Peggie yells I can't do this it's here It's here I have it oh please forgive me I'm so bad"

The cast member says, Oh that one I'd forgotten about that one, good thing your honest hee hee.

A quick recovery… on to plan B everybody, Hey you know you now have to sell us those pins cause we saw them, and you just have to that's why.

Nobody says a word, cast member smiles says "Yea Whatever" and walks away.

So somewhere the sun is shining, and birds singing, but there's no joy in Caballeroville mighty Leslie has been pined out.


Sorry Leslie the mind was willing but the flesh was weak.

Disclaimer

Peggy did get to hold it, but it was grabbed from her after 2 seconds, it is a gorgeous pin it does light up, and does cost $18.00.

No it did not happen this way. We tried but no way security too strong. Pintrader did try to test security but she turned herself in. I have been hit by lightning twice. Peggie did not get to pin trade today and was miserable about it. Donna thinks I'm nuts. Price tag and title on any pin is $8.50 MSRP what the heck is MSRP. I want to go to Australia. Oh no Toto I don't think this is Kansas any more. My baloney has a first name it's Oscar. Keebler elves like in my trucks glove box. My baloney has a second name it's Mayer.
The part of Donna was played by Peggie, Peggie was played by Susan Lucci, pintrader played herself. Raul is a Mark and Goodman production.
 
The paramedics just left..I feel much better now.... Jessica had to call them as she found me pointing at the computer and hyperventilating...

"Ma'am, what's wrong? Are you having an allergic reaction?" All I could do was point at the computer and get a few words out:
"Peggie...Beauty...Beast...hand...gone...lightening...bayonets...run...heart attack...help!!"

"This is worse than I thought" I heard the guy say..."get the syringe out" Jessica yelled "no shots!! no shots!!" and she started to hyperventilate! The dogs were snarling. I managed to get a sentence out "She gave the pin back!!" Then I passed out.

When I came to, the nice paramedic had me breathing into a bag. "You'll be fine now" he said. "you were just having a panic attack because your friend gave the pin back. I know that things seem hopeless now, but don't worry, you'll get your pin."

OMG!!! So close and yet so far!!! (breathe, breathe...slow breaths) Thanks for trying though. She kicked you and told you to get up?? Have you tried this ploy before? Don't they care that our Raul was dying right in front of their eyes? What gives? We need to have a strategy meeting to plan for the next pin release!

Yes, most of this story is true.
I did have the pin in my hand.
And Ed did something foolish, but as for the rest of it, embelishments all mad eup by the story master.
Well no, not all, Kathryn did have a handfull of pins in her hand, and she did make ut as far as the funnel cake booth before a nice gentle CM knocked her to the ground and stomped on her arm causing her to release them.
And it was the worst week of my life. I never wore a lanyard, I carried my pin bag but never opened it. The family made fun of me everywhere I went, and I actually found out what a ride line is. They are not as much fun as pin lines, I got to the front, took out my charge card and held out my hand, but never once did the CM give me anything but a strange look.
This is the last time I go to WDW with family,
Leslie, Cynthia, when do you want to go????? Peggie
 
Oh Peggie,
I, too, must face Orlando next time with family members in tow. sigh. The only thing that will get me through is looking forward to the Friday night Contemporary Pin Meet. I have already made it totally clear that I WILL be going to that...no matter what.

If I'm a very good girl and pay off the bills from the August Pin Event by the end of the year we can plan a trip for the spring. When can you get away from FU? (Shame on you - that's not what it stands for!)
 

LOL!!! When can you get away from FU ??

How about tomorrow?? I need it bad!!!

L.
 
FU = Fairfield University...that's where Peggie works!

Geez...you guys have your minds in the gutter!
