My first trip to WDW and DH's first time being arrested (Dec 2009)

Our lunch experience was good, the fries were awesome. The chicken sandwich was good too but like I said Rig’s burger was better, but the best part was dessert, we both got the cheesecake, it was no chocolate wave but it was still so yummy and I ate all of it, I didn’t eat the popcorn or generic m&m’s that came scattered all over the plate, it’s a fun idea to adorn the plate with fun treats but it was wasted, I did try one of the fake m&m’s, it was waxy and that put an end to my eating anything more of them.

What I like about this place aside from the fun and different way to eat your meal, was the atmosphere it was a hushed place, you had to use your library voice in there, and it was dark, a necessary factor in the romance and cuddle area.

What I didn’t like was there is no room to eat; I took an elbow to the arm a few times from Rig and once to the temple when he was taking a drink of pop.

“Pretty soon I’m going to look as beat up as you.”

So once we finished up with our lunch we went outside and took a few minutes to let our eyes adjust to the sun.

We started back towards The Indiana Jones stunt show thinking that would be a good place to let our stomachs relax and still be entertained.

We were right. A show was about to start we took a spot in the upper left of the theater. Rig enjoyed this show more than I did. Don’t get me wrong I did enjoy this show, but Rig was leaning forward through the whole thing, all of his attention on the show except for the few times he would turn to me, “did you see that?”

“Yes I saw it, because I stay awake for the shows!”

The airplane fight scene was good, Rig was wondering how true they were going to keep it to the actual scene in the movie. Disney did the best they could and it turned out great.

This was the least favorite show for me. I didn’t know any lines from it to quote, and there weren’t any Disney characters, this show was created for people like Rig, not me.

We were both feeling lazy and indecisive of what to do next. We just walked and settled ourselves on a bench close to the little lake. We weren’t bored or wanting to go back to the resort, we just didn’t feel like doing anything at the moment, I think being in the dark and quietness of Sci-Fi played tricks on us. It felt much later in the day for what it really was.

I saw a little girl walking by wearing mouse ears and it brought back a memory from kindergarten, seeing the ears didn’t spark the memory because I saw those every where everyday. But it was the dreamy smile on her face and the way she kept putting her little hands up to her hat and touching the ears.

“Rig, when I was in kindergarten a girl in my class had gone to Disney world with her family and she brought her mouse ears in for show and tell. I was so jealous and it put my toy to shame, nobody cared that my little teddy bear had a cheerleader’s outfit on or the fact that I also had a princess dress for it too. All they wanted to hear about was Liz’s trip to Disney.”

Rig found this amusing, “Still bitter after so long?”

“I’m not bitter, I was back then, I wanted those ears and I wanted to go to Disney world.”

Rig laughed, “I hated show and tell for one reason; there was this kid, Terry, he never brought a “show” it was always a “Tell” and his stories were so boring, and one day I told him nobody cared about his bull____ stories, even the teacher left the room during Terrys turn, but I got in trouble for cussing and I wasn’t allowed my turn for show and tell, and I had a “show” that day, it was a horseshoe.”

I tried to picture a little Rig all sad that he couldn’t show his horseshoe. It brought a smile to my face.

“That was a sad day for me, Rig said, nobody got to see the horse shoe or hear how I found it in the dessert.”

“Couldn’t you just show it the next time?”

“Nope, I traded it to a 3rd grader for a magic rock.”

I couldn’t hold back my laughter, “A magic rock?”

“I’d rather not talk about that.” Rig looked away.
It’s funny how you think you know everything about somebody and then find out something like that. Little boy Rig believed in magic enough to trade his treasured find for a magical rock. It made me love him all the more, so sweet and innocent that boy was.

“what was the magic rock supposed to do? Did the kid say to rub it and a genie would appear?”

“I said I don’t want to talk about it.” he sighed and then turned back to me, “It was supposed to make my wishes come true, but after a few days I realized it was just a rock.”

I laughed even harder now, “A few days? It took you that long to figure that out?”

“I was 5! And then I threw the rock at his head and I ended up in worse trouble.”

“wow, my mouth dropped open, but since we were confessing our not so proud childhood moments to each other I thought I would let Rig in on a secret I had never told anybody. “I came within inches of stealing the mouse ears from Liz. Her cubby was a few feet from mine and I saw them sitting there, I picked them up and almost had them in my book bag when I was over come with fear about getting caught, I never thought how bad she would feel that they were gone, I only put them back because I was afraid of getting caught.”

“So if you knew you could get away with it you would have taken them?”

I nodded

Rig shook his head, “You have just totally shattered my image of you.”

I smacked him on the arm, “Don’t judge me cowboy, you hit a kid with a rock.”
After our confessions time we were ready for some rides, I had agreed to Tower of Terror but refused to ride Rock-n-roller coaster ever again.

We began the walk to the eerie hotel but got stuck by the block party. It was actually kind of fun to see, I could not believe the amount of acrobats that were being performed on the mini trampolines, that there looks like a fun job. I couldn’t for the longest time get the music out of my head, and it surprises me now that I can’t remember how it goes because it was during that parade/block party that Rig grabbed onto me and danced me around, it’s not uncommon for him to hear music and do that, it’s not uncommon for him to not hear music and do that, he’ll just sing and two step me through the parking lot or the aisle at the grocery store or where ever.

Tower of Terror had a small 15 minute wait, even though the sign said 20. I was still nervous for this but not scared, I don’t think I would ever get used to being dropped like that no matter how many times I would ride it.

In the library when the lights went out and the TV came on Rig moved behind me and put his arms around me, I felt a little pinch on my rear end. I knew it was Rig, and usually a pinch to my rear from Rig is met with an elbow to his gut from me, but I refrained, and right before the lights came on I pushed away from him and took a few steps to the side. We got separated once the doors opened and people bee lined for the ride. Rig waited for me and grabbed my hand as we made our way to the line.

“Rig why didn’t you hold me in the dark? You always hold me, I had to stand in the dark all alone and I was scared.” I lied.

Rigs eyes got huge,:eek: “What do you mean you had to stand in the dark alone? I held you.”

I started laughing, this was going to be better than an elbow to his gut.

“It wasn’t me you were holding then.” I amazed myself with the amount of composure I was holding, especially since Rig now believed that he had pinched the hind end of some stranger.

“Babylee, are you toying with me?”

I shook my head no.

“So I had my arms wrapped around some other girl?”

“Or guy.” I said

Rig’s whole body shuttered

“Are you stepping out on me Rig?

“Not intentionally.”

Rig thought I was laughing at his innocent mistake but I was really laughing at the look on his face. I wanted to see how far I could take this and I also wanted to see if he would admit to pinching this person too. He was looking around at all the people, probably trying to figure out if it was anybody there that might have been on the receiving end of his flirting that was meant for his wife.

“Well so what Rig, you held onto somebody other than your wife, they probably liked the comfort.”

“That doesn’t make me feel any better.”

“Well it’s not like you kissed them right?”

Rig raised his eyebrows, “No, I didn’t kiss them.” I was waiting for him to tell me what he did do, I thought he was going to, he looked like he wanted to but in the end he kept quiet and it just made me laugh all the harder.

We got in the elevator and buckled ourselves in. “Now remember Rig when the lights go off, I am on your left, so don’t go hugging the person on your right.”

“That is enough out of you little girl.” Rig smiled

The elevator doors closed and the lights went out, the 3rd dimension music began, I pinched Rig as best I could on the rear, it wasn’t easy considering he was sitting on it, but it was enough for him to figure out that I had been playing with him and it was me he was holding onto in the dark library, he started laughing.

“Babylee, that was a mean joke to play on your man.”

I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time, even the death drop could not take away from the hilarity of it and me being able to pull that off.

When the ride was over and we went outside I was still enjoying the fact that I was able to punk Rig.







 

Who knows though, ya'll might think Rig is just average, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes it's not the outer beauty that is prevailing but the inner beauty of someone spilling out and making them "all that"

I can't say, but I can tell you this. Some people think that, for example, Sandra Bullock is a beautiful woman. That may be so. But she cannot hold a candle to Mrs Mosca.
 
That was hilarious the joke you played on Rig!:rotfl:
I would of been freaking out if I was flirting with the wrong person!!!

Awwwwwwwwww . . . so sweet!!!!! I've been a quiet, avid reader and had to jump to respond to this post! Ihope Mrs. Mosca has a chance to read this.

RigLee- I've enjoyed reading all your posts! Thanks for sharing!
 
Oh my gosh, that is the kind of prank I'd try to pull with my DH but couldn't do it anymore. We've been together way too long for me to be able to pull anything like that off but I would have tried back in the day. Too Funny!

That is so sweet and you are so right. I don't see anyone like I see my DH and though it often makes me scratch my head as to why, he looks at me like I am the most beautiful woman he has seen. But I know he sees inside and the 20 years we have had together and then I remember why he sees me the way he does. :love:
 
:rotfl:been reading the whole tr and i love it. very fun to read. but the joke on rig. :lmao:brilliant! i am so going to try that on dh next time we are there.
 
It occurred to me that I was at Disney the same time you were there. WEIRD!!! I was at EPCOT with my family on that very rainy day. It was cold and wet and the park was as empty as I have ever seen it.

Waiting patiently for more of your story.

We were at Epcot that wet, wet day as well. Also staying at the POP.

Great report Riglee. I love seeing WDW through your eyes and love for eachother.

We stayed at CSR for that trip and stayed at Pop on our trip in Jan. That wet day at EPCOT was a nightmare. My jeans bled all over my sneakers. Thankfully, this is one reason why I take two pairs of sneakers on trips. One for rainy days/water rides and a pair for dry days. LOL

Although, I must say, that rainy day really kept the crowds down and we rode Test Track before the rain started. Amen for that!!!
 
What's your favorite Breakfast Club quote? Mine is, "You mess with the bull, you get the horns." I also like "You are a neo maxi zoon dweebie." that's even funnier than when Princess Leia calls Han a stuck up half witted scruffy looking nerf herder.

Telling you and your husband to make Disney about the 2 of you was just a more lady like way of saying "Enjoy the dark rides!"

There are so many...

Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

Hey, How come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it will be anarchy!

What was that ruckus?
What ruckus sir?
I was just in my office and heart a ruckus.
Could you describe the ruckus sir?


Just me. Just you and me. Two hits. Me hitting you and you hitting the floor

I could go on and on. But you get the picture. :laughing:

I'm the same way with the Grease movies, Young Guns movies, and probably a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head without having some more coffee :)


As for enjoying the dark rides...I'm such a wimp on rides, and I do them just because its him, i usually keep my eyes closed for most of them and he's the one whooping and hollering with his hands in the air...so we'll see if there are any chances of togetherness...:rotfl2:
 
Hilarious joke on Rig...:rotfl:

And good for you for doing ToT again! :thumbsup2

My son and I went to Sci Fi a few years ago (the last time we went) and we enjoyed it too! Their burgers and shakes are awesome!

You dear man, your wife is a lucky lady.

That was hilarious the joke you played on Rig!:rotfl:
I would of been freaking out if I was flirting with the wrong person!!!
I know Right!:lmao:
excellent!!!! Loved the update!! :)
Thank you so much.
Hahaha, I'm still laughing from that prank you pulled on Rig. Good job! :thumbsup2
Heheheh, it felt good.

RigLee- I've enjoyed reading all your posts! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for reading, I am so glad you are enjoying it.

Oh my gosh, that is the kind of prank I'd try to pull with my DH but couldn't do it anymore. We've been together way too long for me to be able to pull anything like that off but I would have tried back in the day. Too Funny!
I am surprised he fell for it, he's given me a pinch or two before, he should have "known".:confused3

That is so sweet and you are so right. I don't see anyone like I see my DH and though it often makes me scratch my head as to why, he looks at me like I am the most beautiful woman he has seen. But I know he sees inside and the 20 years we have had together and then I remember why he sees me the way he does. :love:
that's a man in love, and love is some powerful stuff.

Maybe the force be with you.
like wise!

Great update Lee! love the joked you played on Rig!
thank you, I am taking abow right now.

:rotfl:been reading the whole tr and i love it. very fun to read. but the joke on rig. :lmao:brilliant! i am so going to try that on dh next time we are there.
Have fun with punking your husband, men need a little waking up now and then.

We were at Epcot that wet, wet day as well. Also staying at the POP.

Great report Riglee. I love seeing WDW through your eyes and love for eachother.
That nasty rain day, I thought it would never end.

I have been going through our pictures of disney trying to figure out days and parks, you know you never forget your first trip. Your first trip will be the one to stand out more than any other trip. that's just my opinion, no matter how many more times I go to disney world, I will not have the same feeling of seeing the castle for the first time.
Didn't I say that at one point, is this a quote from me or do we think that much alike?:confused3

Ugh! the dredded jean bleed, I've had that happen many a time.

There are so many...

You go girl! that is some major movie quotin there. Do you quote often?:lmao:

You might wanna tell Tumper_Man to not be throwing his hands in the air, it leaves the nipples exposed, just a little friendly advice, that's all:confused3


Hilarious joke on Rig...:rotfl:

And good for you for doing ToT again! :thumbsup2

My son and I went to Sci Fi a few years ago (the last time we went) and we enjoyed it too! Their burgers and shakes are awesome!
I still wish I had ordered a burger instead of the chicken sandwich.
 
Subbing! Took me a few days to get through all 75 pages, but can't wait to read the rest! Great job!
popcorn::
 
I guess I can see the resemblance there, no you weren't too far off.

Told Ya! :laughing:

Telling you and your husband to make Disney about the 2 of you was just a more lady like way of saying "Enjoy the dark rides!"

If I don't pull a Rig and fall asleep. :rotfl: I'll try and stay awake with DW on the dark rides and in the dark places. Hopefully we don't have any boys or girls staring at us and telling us like they told you two. "GROSS!'"

I guess I don't take notice, I'm too concerned with who's looking at Rig to notice who's looking at me.:confused3

Who knows though, ya'll might think Rig is just average, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes it's not the outer beauty that is prevailing but the inner beauty of someone spilling out and making them "all that"

the only way I can describe it is Their is a certainty about Rig, he's not stuck up, but he carries himself with such assurance of who he is, he doesn't let his surroundings or the actions of others dictate who he is, what you see with Rig is what you get. Some might not think he's beautiful, but his presence always demands a second look.

If he had girls giggling, swooning, oohing and awing; obviously he has some kind of outer beauty as well.

You might wanna tell Tumper_Man to not be throwing his hands in the air, it leaves the nipples exposed, just a little friendly advice, that's all:confused3

Thanks for the friendly reminder. I had already forgotten about watching out for the nipplectomy. :lmao:

I can be caught quoting quite often depending on what is happening on a particular day. DH's favorite line is from the movie The Sandlot "You're killing me smalls!" Which seems to have worked its way into our everyday vocabulary. However, I do tend to find a way to sneak in certain movie quotes whenever I can. That or music lines...I'm bad for those too.

I think he got the message :rotfl: however, since i'm usually on the other side of him holding the railing for dear life and making sure my eyes are throughly shut so I don't see anything I think he will be safe...:rotfl2:
 
Lee, Your love story has kept me captive for 2 whole nights it took me to read all 75 pages!! It was like the best romance novel I have ever read, and I second all those who have told you that you have a natural talent for writing....if it is something you enjoy, you should seriously consider delving into it more and perhaps working on future material that may even one day be published! You are a dream-weaver and you draw people so easily into your world, I LOVED reading your adventure!!!
I have been with my sweet hubby for 20 years....and I see many parallels between your gentleman Rig and my own hero of my heart! My hubby was a career soldier for the 20 years of our marriage, and those tours overseas and days apart kept the heart very fond!!! It only made for sweeter reunions too :)

My sweetheart is retired now and onto his second career as a sheriff, but one wink from him can still make my heart feel like butterfly wings touched it, and I love him more every day....I enjoy sharing my life with my best friend and look forward to the second half of our adventure (the kidless years again [our 2 boys are 18 and 14]....so soon, it will be just the 2 of us like it was in the beginning.) There's no one I'd rather share it with than my husband, and when you have that kind of love you know.....HE'S A KEEPER!

I have truly enjoyed your TR and I can see your love shining through every word. Embrace it and cherish it, and thank you for allowing us to share in your special adventure.

~ Marie
