Chapter 8: Mine...Mine....Mine....Mine...
All righty then. We got back to Wilderness lodge, and got Brianna changed in the dinner outfit. Made by a fellow DISBoutiquer, by the way.
Spencer put on some jeans, since he had been having problems keeeping his shorts tied and on his waist. I also decided to toss on my new shirt, being the redneck that I am.....wait a minute, I live in NYC....uh...being the total geek that I am?? (I did toss a D&D Reference into my TR, after all). Whatever.
ANYWAY, we all went down to wait for the bus to Epcot.. The kids had to drink from the water fountain, and this being Disney, I had to take pics of them....
The bus came and we were off to visit the parkw with the giant 100 sided die in front of it....Uh, I mean Epcot.
We were about 2 hours early for our ADRs, so we decided to go on a few rides. Last year, HHBG was really upset that Spaceship Earth was closed, so we went to that first thing. 5 minute wait. It was fun. I like Judi Dench, which helps. The kids LOVED the interactive part at the end, and they had a decent picture of me, so I wasnt too unhappy about it.
After Spaceship earth, we decided to walk over and see what the wait looked like for Soarin. EIGHTY MINUTES!
Uh, thanks, not today. We decided to go on the recycling ride which, for some reason, is what my kids call Living with the Land. Normally I really enjoy this ride, but we had some mental family behind us who were convinced that the plants and animals were fake, and they talked and yakked it up through the whole thing. Bleh. I really wanted to do the behind the seeds tour, but I knew I wouldnt have time this trip. In October, I will definitely go.
After we got out of Living with the Land, the kids INSISTED on going on the Nemo ride and then talking to Crush. While we were in line, I had a bit of a peeps sighting. Check the covert photo....
While we waited on line for Nemo (all 2 minutes after walking through the longest queue area ever), Spencer announced that it was is turn to ride with Mommy...which it was. Brianna took major exception tot his statement and freaked. I dont know if you read my PTR but in it, I mentioned that last year she wsa very vehemently Daddys little girl, and would only go with HHBG places and on rides.....well this trip it was all abotu Mommy for her, and I was HERS.
Well, Spencer got to ride Into the seas with Nemo and Friends with Mommy. After all, it was his turn. Brianna cried and wailed through the entire ride....which actually made it a lot more entertaining....
When we got off of the ride, Spencer announced that he wanted to go talk to Crush. Now, HHBG and I were nervous about this. Last year, Spencer actually got to ask Crush a question, and we knew the chances werent very good of that happening again. Spencer is very prone to tantrums when things dont g his way, so we warned him OVER AND OVER while waiting for turtle talk that there was a good chance that he wasnt goign to get to talk to Crush.
Ok, I should say HHBG warned him over and over. I had Brianna over by the manatees looking at the wall while she continued to throw her fit. After she wsa done, I asked her if she was ready to behave. She said yes, and I let her come away from the wall. She then announced that she wanted to see Crush too, so we hotfooted it over just in time.
Well, Crush comes in, and does his little spiel. Then he says hes willing to answer some questions. First a little girl goes, then he syas hell take a question from the little dude withthe red shell over there. OMG! He just said hed talk to Spencer!! What are the ODDS!?!? HHBG and I looked at one another in disbelief.
Here is their conversation, as word for word as I could remember 2 hours later when I wrote down my notes:
Spencer: what do you eat?
Crush: See this green stuff growing on the sea floor, its <something>, thats what I eat, the green stuff that grows under the water......why, what do you eat?
S: <silence>.....Healthy stuff!!
C: Thats great little dude! What kind of healthy stuff do you eat?
S: <more extended silence> ....Apples?
C: Apples are great, but....do they ever give you the...bubbles?
S: sits in confused silence while the adults snicker around him
C: Do you know what Im talking about? Where the bubbles come from?
(Cue bubbles)
Audience breaks up in laughter.
C: Well! That was awkward!
Moving on....
After the show, we tried to explain to Spencer what Crush was talking about with the bubbles. Not only did he notunderstand what Crush had been asking about, he also absolutely REFUSED to believe that the bubbles were what we said they were.
After we left, the Seas, we decided to get some silly pics.
At that point, we decided it was time to make the trek to Norway for dinner. Dont ask me why, but some weird stupid gremlin spoke through my mouth and said lets start in Canada, itll be quicker. me = idiot
HHBG knows all about my DIS obsession, so he listened to me, and through Canada we went. DOH!
We got to about Japan, and I said to HHBG Dude, I dont know WHAT I was thinking...this is totally the long way.
HHBG shrugged, and suddenly one of the kids (I forget which...Bad mommy!)said to me:
Mommy, why does Crush talk like you? (Not, by the way, why do you talk like Crush)
And so, a TR title was born.....
Coming Soon: Dinner at Akershus.....how was it??
