Day 2 ~ October 3, 2009
Soooo, where were we?? Ah yes, just leaving China with delicious margaritas to meet back up with Jamie, Justin and Emma for a little more Mexico!
Babies who just learned to walk LOVE stairs!
So we chugged our drinks and just as we get inside, probably, my favorite place in all of Disneyworld...I start getting a familiar pain in my upper abdomen. I haven't had this pain in a while, but there were a few years there, in college especially, where I felt this pain ALL THE TIME! I call it "acid reflux." It's that feeling that you get when you drink something really acidy. I used to drink a lot of orange juice but had to stop because of this pain I started getting. Very fruity drinky drinks do it to me too. Because of this I ALWAYS carry Tums with me.
Well I haven't had an "acid reflux" episode in a while so I wasn't positive that's what it was so I tried to just ignore it and hope it would go away.
Here's Nicholas taking the infamous big hat picture!
Uh Oh! Emma found a maraca! She loved it! So Aunt Nik bought it!
So, after the purchase, it was time to get on the ride. By this time, the stomach pain was getting way worse and just as we were walking to the line, Tom says he's got a weird stomach pain!!! I couldn't believe it! He NEVER gets the acid pains that I do! He was really worried because it was a pain he had never felt before and having recently had kidney stones, he thought the worst!
Well, I quickly whipped out my travel bottle of Tums and gave each of us 3. "I'm telling you, honey! TUMS! Just eat them!!"
Well the ride was excruciating!! Tom was sitting in front of me and I wanted to whisper to him that I felt it too, because I KNEW that he was probably freaking out at how badly it hurt! I had a few more Tums during the ride....actually I think I finished the bottle!
As soon as the ride stopped, I made sure to tell Tom how badly my stomach hurt so he knew that it wasn't just him. And luckily, by the time we walked out of the Mexican pavilion, the Tums had taken effect and we were good to go!
Needless to say, neither of us will EVER have that drink again!
So from there, we walked back to Norway and picked up Nicholas's Kim Possible cell phone. Our first assingment was in China...perfect!
After taking a few pics, I went with Nicholas to help him complete his missions, Tom went to get some "food and wine," Nicole went to do some shopping in China and Jamie and Justin went to use their counter service credits. I don't know HOW people do the dining plan during Food and Wine!!
After Nicholas finished his assignemt and we got some more of that delicious chicken Nicole had last time from the Shanghai booth, we walked BACK again because our FP time for Soarin' was up! Ugh, this is NOT how we do WS. Remember, gotta go around the horn! Well not this time...only to China and back..TWICE!
BUT at least on the way back this time we spotted the Mouse Catch and got a trio of cheese!
It was all so delicious, althought a little too hot for cheese. Again, it was SO perfect that 4 of us were sharing so we each got just a little bite or two of everything!
At the same time, Jamie went with the classic Mickey Bar...
And Tom went for the beef empanada from Buenos Aires...sorry I didn't get a picture of the snack but it was delicious!
(Also, after passing Buenos Aires, I couldn't get that song from Annie out of my head!)
So we went up the Odyssey walkway, past Test Track on the way to Soarin. Well, Emma spotted water and so we had to stop for another few minutes. She LOVED it!!
She stood right on that spot because she knew the mist came up from there. Soooo cute!
So finally, we got to Soarin. Justin stayed out with Emma and the rest of us went on the ride. Look at that! Nicholas got the "how long is the line" pass this time!!
Oh, I just remembered what I was feeling at this point in the day...another kind of stomach pain, if you know what I mean! (Is that TMI?!
) I had eaten such random crap so far all day and it caught up to me! I used to get this pain a lot when eating a combination of French Onion Soup and Nachos (don't ask! there are only a few things I eat so sometimes random combos are a must) Anyway, Tom and I have dubbed that as the FOPs. The French Onion ........rhymes with soup. So instead of the FOPs, we decided I had the F&WPs!
Anyway, it made for a very unpleasant wait in line and ride, even though I tried my best to enjoy it as always, and even asked Tom to snap of pic of me and Jamie, as this was the FIRST time we had ridden Soarin' together because we hadn't been to WDW together since before it opened.
So we QUICKLY went up the stairs and all stopped for a much needed bathroom break!
Okay, so at this point, Jamie and Justin decided they were going to go back to the room for who know's what! But we had more Food and Wining to do! And Nicholas had another mission....next stop: Germany!
Up Next: MORE Food and Wine! (I swear, there are going to be like 8 installments of JUST this day!)
Ours seemed more brown, like it was sauteed in brown sauce or something. Hmmmm.
(I live with males- I can take it sister!) 
) From the sounds of it there are missions in all the countries in WS?
