My Neurotic trip report 9/16+9/24 POFQ

[maddhatir]

I'm baaaaaa-aack! Ok- maybe not every minute of this report will be neurotic- it is just me. I am neurotic, aniexty ridden and crowd phobic so this outta be interesting! Just keep think in mind when reading some of my posts!

Day one. 9/16 Sat-Yay! We are here. Well- at the airport anyway. Do the DME- no problems AT ALL! Jumped right on. Took a about an hour to get to POFQ- no complaints.

Check in around 12pm- and our room was ready ASAP!- dropped off our carry-on. Room was a beauty!- overlooked a little courtyard Bldg# 6 Room #6318.

PS- YOU GET A FRIDGE IN YOUR ROOM- CLEVERLY DISGUISED AS A PIECE OF FURNITURE OOOOOOO-----AHHHHHHHH

JUST A NEUROTIC FYI-- AS BEAUTIFUL AS THIS HOTEL WAS- I will never stay here or any other hotel (have been to the All Stars in the past) that shares a bus with ANY other resort. I will go into detail as I post more reports!

Take the bus to AK. No crowds. So far, so good. Of course, must run to EE- 30 minute wait. Oh well- I’m waiting! OOOO maybe not- nice gentleman hands us his FASTPASS to ride right now! YAY! Hurry on to the ride- disappointed I didn’t get to take in the goodies before the ride- but we will be back. Jump on the ride- it was fun- but everything happened so fast- the fastpass, the ride- running to get on the ride. I didn’t get to take it all in. and I will tell you this now……I kept saying we need to go back and do EE before we leave—and it never happened! Very sad about that.

DH took this pic from the screen- of course I had to smudge his face- He doesnt like his pic posted anywhere- he is goofy! Well not the character- just weird!

And of course- DH makes me pose with this weird looking blonde person all the while laughing at me--- I am the one on the right leaning on my small monkey child! Like I really had to explain.

We were on the FREE DP! DH is a carnivore- me? a Vegetarian!

Ate at Tusker House- incredible CS 2 thumbs up! Spent about 28.00
· DH had the 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken served with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables $7.99 and the Cheesecake $2.99- large drink
· and I had the Vegetable Sandwich $7.29 and the Carrot Cake $3.29 FYI- the unsweetened ice tea in the parks is the best I have ever tasted- if you like unsweetened tea- go for it!
(DH loved his chicken so much we had to come back Monday so he can have it again! He didn’t care about the park- he just wanted the chicken again!) and the Veggie Sandwich was one of the best I have ever had!

Walk around a bit- crowds not bad.

Back to the room- YAY- our luggage is there. To tired to unpack- we have ressies for Alfredos @ 6:45 with some friends tonight- a nap sounds good- nighty night.

Met friends at Test Track @ EPCOT- 20 minute wait. A bit surprised about the wait.

Head over to Alfredos for dinner. Seated right away. The Lobby was not overly crowded like I have seen in December. I know some people do not care for Alfredos- but I like it. It is noisy- but not bad. The staff did a little number for all of us- singing about something- cant remember- but cute.

· DH had Pasta e Fagioli - thickest Tuscan bean soup. freshly made with Borlotti beans $6.75, Bistecca di Manzo Alla Pizzaiola - char-grilled 10 oz. sirloin steak served with a caper, oregano and tomato sauce with rosemary roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables. Served medium-rare. $29.95, Tiramisu - lady finger biscuit, espresso coffee, mascarpone cheese, egg brandy, whipped cream $3.95 and a soft drink.
· Me? Misto di Insalate dell 'Orto - a salad of wild greens with sweet grape tomatoes and our Italian raspberry vinaigrette dressing - $5.95 Trittico di Pasta - Lasagna, Ziti with a fresh plum tomato sauce and pasta dumplings stuffed with imported black truffles, mushrooms and cheese $22.95 and for dessert- some kind of chocolate raspberry cake. And (2) sangrias

DH was not crazy about his steak. He didn’t say it tasted bad- he said he should have chosen at Osso (get this I will tell you this now- we did happen to go back to eat at Alfredos later in the week and he wanted the OSSO and he was told it is ONLY for 2 people!) We had to wait about 45 minutes for our meal to come out and they told us it was b/c of his steak--- ah—hello- we DO have grills at home and we DO cook steaks at home- we certainly do NOT cook them for 45 minutes! It was NOT a fat steak. Nice try though.
Me? I usually get the gnocchi pomadoro- get this they tell me they do not have gnocci anymore! Yes- an Italian restaurant with NO gnocchi! I had to order the Trio- was not in the mood for the heavy Fettuccini Alfredo so I went with this, but of course- the lasagna (#1 of the trio) had meat sauce- ok. Please leave off the lasagna and give me a bit more ziti. Fine! Mmmmmm, Not fine………here comes my food- and no lasagna, but they have my ziti topped with….MEAT SAUCE! They take it back- comes back out with a fresh tomato basil sauce---YUMMY! The pasta dumplings and cream sauce were delish!
I will certainly recommend the Sangria here! OMG! It was good- you can taste the honey and the cloves- it was very good.
Even though the messed up with my sauce and DH was not crazy about his steak—we will be back later in the week.
OH- one more thing- the rolls they served were really good except for the 2 VERY hard ones that the kids used to make artwork with- they drew on them with the crayons they were provided with. We were actually going to use them to get our waitresses attention b/c our food was taking so long but we did not want to be charged with homicide!
"ROLL ART" FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Jus a few other posts I made before doing my trip report in case you want to check them out- But I will cover the topics as I go on. I just cant believe how just posting just one day report is taking so long- I am almost as tired as spening one day in the park just writing this!

OK- time to go to sleep on day one--- will post more later- have to get some wash done! DH will ask me what I did all day!

 

[maddhatir]

Ah- nice to wake up without an alarm. DH HATES when we have to set an alarm.

Today we decided to relax early on and do the pool. Good idea. except! the LOVEBUGS! the only way to escape them is to get into the pool! And it was SOOOO hot- that seemed like the best thing to do. I chose Sept for low crowds and I knew the heat would be unbearable-- but this is crazy hot! Hung out at the pool and lounged a bit. Finally we said enough and headed off to the pool bar. Sat in the shade and DH enjoyed a Capt and coke and me- I got a Southern Hurricane OOOOO IT WAS YUMMY-- so yummy I just HAD to order another! by my second one- I was off to the shady part of the pool area to pass out. DH stayed at the bar and read his book. OMG! the heat- it was too hot to even stay in the shade-- well add the alcohol content TO the heat and forget it. But as soon as we got into the airconditioned food court- I felt like I never even drank anything! This was a big problem our whole vacation. If you are REALLY looking forward to having a drinky or two during the day and walk around- forget it. It is too hot to enjoy your buzz!

We are hungry by now-- we have ressies for Le Cellier- better eat now. Let me tell you with this DP-- you eat WAY TOO MUCH! I for one, was psyched about the DP- we usually pay for it- but it was free- so I thought YAY! but by day 2- I am saying enough food, no more!

We ate at the foodcourt- DH had a Double Cheeseburger -- $6.89
and dessert (cant remember) and I had Vegetarian Sandwich served on a multi-grain bun with chips -- $5.79 and Beignets - three $1.99
and we both had fountain drinks.

Back to the room to rest- another thing that stinks about the heat- you feel like you need to rest between eveything! Rest or Shower---- OR BOTH!

Off to EPCOT- of course had to do SOARIN! This was our first time. We tought we would get motion sickness-- but we loved it! It was one of the best rides I have been on!--

Walk on over to Le Cellier to try and get later ressies! I cant eat again! It was about 7-7:30- our ressies were for 8- moved them to 8:40. Stop in the UK so DH can get a Guinness-- on tap of course~! Go to France and get a Kir Royale for me, we got a nice buzz--- and around the world we go!!

Finally make it back to Canada....and we have to eat!
DH had the Prince Edward Island Mussels - served chowder style with Applewood smoked bacon and potatoes $9.99, 14 oz. New York Strip Steak - roasted garlic, grape tomato, frisee, and roasted Yukon potatoes, and finished with veal demi glace $26.99 AND LOVED BOTH!!!!!
I had the Vine-Ripened Tomato Stack - shiitake mushrooms, wilted spinach, balsamic reduction $7.99 and for my entree some vggie dish that I cant even remember b/c I was soooooo stuffed. I HAD to take my "Happiest Celebration on Earth" Chocolate Whiskey Cake - Chocolate cake made with whiskey. - $7.99 to go- there was no way I can eat dessert, and DH didnt even bother taking his to go. We noticed a lot of people taking home their desserts. I ate the cake the next day and it was pretty good.

Another thing I noticed about eating so much- it really cuts into park time! We would want to do something, but we couldnt b/c we had a ressie...to eat again.

We rolled back to the hotel and plopped in bed-- and I think I woke up full the next morning!

 

[maddhatir]

Day 3-

we were supposed to go to DtD- DH didnt want to-- HE wanted to go to AK JUST so he can eat at the Tusker House ...again! so- refer back to day one and what we ate-- yes- the same thing- except wooo hooo- I got nuts and got the chocolate cake instead of the carrot cake! I know- I live on the edge- what can I say!?
MORE PICS FROM AK:

I cant remember what we did from the AK until the time we got to EPCOT this night! I should have taken notes!

we DID eat at Chefs de France a fave of ours- we eat here every trip! We are CHEEEEESE people. There were PLENTY of tables- it was right before 9 so we asked for a seat right by the window to see Illuminations- not a problem at all- they were very happy to put us there. our waiter(s) were very nice. The one was a cutie!

DH ordered bottle of wine- Cotes de Rhone, Les Forots, J.L. Colombo, 2001 - Alternative Rhone Valley: $35.00 I feel bad I did not have any- I am the one who told him to order this- but once again- I was so full (or maybe I was drinking again- Kir Royale earlier??) but I didnt feel like having any- He polished the whole bottle off- no problem!

DH got the Assiette de fromages de France - French imported cheese plate. - $9.95, for his appetizer (Of course I HAD to try some-- tre' delish) and for his entrée- Cote de Porc Fermiere - Vande Rose farms frenched pork chop with mushroom demi glace and sweet potato puree $24.95 and for dessert- crème brulee

Can you believe for the life of me I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHAT I ATE HERE TONIGHT!??? I even viewed the menu again and NOTHING looks familiar —It was good though…..that’s all I can say—and I will be back again!

Great to eat late in the WS- by the time you are finished your meal, most everyone has cleared out- so take your time and stroll out........

i read your report and actually truly LOL! Dh sitting over there at his desk told me to be quiet and stop having fun. I love to read what you post on this whole forum... you sound like you'd be a blast to know in person. Of course your Mr. Depp picts are enough to draw any red-blooded american girl to your posts. Thanks for the laughs.

WOW- they are some kind words! I really appreciate it!

I just put the pics in my siggy hoping to draw some attention to myself-- I am very needy!

 

[maddhatir]

This morning was GREAT! It was a nice sunny morning!

We actually set the alarm to get up- and you know how DH feels about THAT! BUT! I said we HAVE to open the MK at least one day this trip-- we have NEVER done it before and let me tell you I am soooooo glad I experienced this! Thanks to everyone on the boards who suggested it- I never knew how special it would be!

We got to the MK about 8:15 am! Very early- hardly anyone had arrived yet! It was great. They were only letting in the park, people who had early ressies. Too bad we didn’t think of it, but we would have grabbed some coffee before we left the hotel to drink while waiting.

We got through the turnstiles and found a PERFECT seat smack dab in the middle of the entrance on the short stone wall facing the train station. This way- I knew if people came and stood in front of me- I can just jump right up on the little wall and see perfectly!

I tried batting my eyelashes at the dude to let me in the park and get some coffee at the Main Street Bakery-- didnt work- they werent open yet!


Well its almost time! The crowd IS NOT bad at all- it was great!

The princesses were all out—getting primped! (PS- I smudged the face of this little princess b/c I don’t know who she is!— her mom might not want her pic on the internet) it was just so cute the way her mom was doing her hair and she just sat there and inhaled the hairspray like it was air! I told DH while we were watching this—“See! This is how all of us girls grow up and WHY we expect to be treated like princesses! It starts when we are young!”

So! This woman comes out- forget her name (but that’s my M-O now—I FORGET!) anywho- she got the crowd all excited for the characters arriving on the train.

I have to say- when they did arrive and while the whole “celebration” was going on- I did get a bit teary eyed- I read that this may be a side effect- and it was!

Well- the celebration is over—and in pure DISNEY STYLE--- the clean up begins! At the end of the park opening celebration they shot out some long confetti like stuff- and as soon as we turn our heads—it is only a memory!

I didn’t notice anyone running down Main street after they let us in- DH and I got sidetracked at the Main Street Bakery—and so did some others!

ewww- how did this get in here-- fruit??? Give me some yummies!

I can’t believe what little piggies we are! We have 11am ressies today for breakfast at the GF café and we make a stop at the bakery! Its 9am already- and we can’t wait?!! DH gets the French toast and I tried a chocolate croissant and we both had coffee--- plenty of seats on the side of the ice cream shoppe- and of course—we have visitors! They are like little puppy dogs! They beg at your feet for food.

The people next to us would not feed them- so towards the end of our meal DH starts throwing some food out to them—eeeek! Stop! People don’t want the duckies around- .........me? I didn’t care- I think they are cute--- DH said it is probably like us when we go to the beach and the “visitors” think the seagulls are just soooooo adorable when they want food- and they feed them! NA! Ducks are cuter! So I save some of my croissant and have them allllll follow me in a line. (sing with me---- I'm the Pied Piper!) away from everyone and start to feed them—problem was--- DH and I were going over to Adventureland which means we have to walk BACK past all the people eating—which means—the duckies follow us and they are back begging! OH WELL! Not our problem anymore! Sorry! Hee hee

Of course we HAVE to do PotC- we have not seen it since Mr Depp has been added! We walk RIGHT on! I thought it was OK--- I personally think they should have put Davy Jones right at the drop so when you go through the mist- you plunge, but hey that’s just me!

Hmmmm… we have a while before breakfast—ask DH if we wants to do Splash Mountain- sure! Walk right up…………..AND GET PUT RIGHT UP FRONT—YES THE VERY FIRST SEAT—OH NO! We NEVER EVER, sat up front, never get wet!- we have to go to breakfast! we are going to get SOAKED! I
couldn’t stop laughing! We had our rain jackets b/c there was a chance of rain today—I am scrambling to pull them out of my handbag so that DH can use both of them—he had on a light colored pair of shorts and for sure you would see the wetness on them—Me? I had on a dark tank top and a light flowy skirt that you would never even notice it was wet—I am trying to save DH! He sits on one jacket and covers his lap with the other. We couldn’t even pay attention to the ride b/c we are preparing for THE PLUNGE! We were getting soaked just taking the tiny plunges! OMG! Here it comes! (I wish I can post our pic they took of us- I, of course, had my mouth wide open screaming with my eyes closed and arms raised! And DH looking so cool- was giving the camera THE PEACE SIGN! He looked all kinda relaxed —we get off and DH is practically dry—me, on the other hand, I AM SOAKED! I am actually ringing out my skirt- the lining of my skirt was sooo heavy it was horrible! Ahhhhh! Breakfast is only about 1 half hour away- this feels horrible!

We head back through Adventureland to catch the monorail to the GF—and what do I see to the left out of the corner of my eye—its Capt Jack—stumbling………stumbling out of one of the bldgs to get to his show! He is wandering around pretending to look for where it is he needs to be---- there was a small crowd so we decided to watch for a few minutes before catching the monorail. Didn’t stay long- actually DH said he would have rather watched the show than to go to breakfast---- well, I only I knew ahead of time 1) that we wouldn’t get back to see the Capt Jack show and 2) breakfast was not that great after all--- I WOULD HAVE STAYED!

So- off to the monorail and we leave Capt Jack behind.

Get to the GF- love it there- its so pretty. And there was going to be a wedding- I didn’t see the bride- but I saw here flowers and some other bride-like things at the table at the bottom of the staircase. Darn- I want to see the wedding- or a least the bride….but we have ressies! Walk up- there are MAYBE 3 other couples in the whole restaurant. We got there a bit after 11 so they said we can order b/f or lunch- looked at the lunch menu—na! Lets stick with b/f. DH got Corned Beef Hash and Poached Eggs - sauteed with potatoes, onions and green peppers $11.99, coffee and OJ, I got the Frittata - egg whites, onions, mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, basil and fresh fruit $8.99, coffee and OJ—bleck—the frittata was VERY boring and you would think ssince you are at the GF you can get some decent coffee- not the case. Would not go back there for b/f again.

see the next post for part 2 or day 4...........they tell me too many pics!

 

[maddhatir]

We decided since it was supposed to rain sometime today- for sure, that we would go back to the hotel- DH took a nap- I had to get more rays. Opened the door to our room and guess what?? TOWEL ANIMALS!! Am I THEEEE luckiest girl in the world! Or what!?

While I was at the pool, of course, the love bugs were insane and I made a fool of myself trying to squirt them with my water mister- they didn’t care- I think I heard them laughing at me. SO- I spent most of the time in the pool, by myself. Isnt that the worst? I hate being in the pool alone. Its so boring- I am usually hanging on DH telling him to stop trying to drown me- but hey- that’s better than being alone! So I toughed it out for about an hour.

While getting ready to head back to the MK for the night, I heard the thunder and the sky was getting dark. It rained a bit so we brought our rain jackets b/c we knew the rain would be back tonight. They were calling for it. Got to the MK, ran back to Space Mountain and it started to spit a bit. By the time we got out- it still didn’t look so good so we shot over to Carousel of Progress (DH’s FAVORITIST RIDE) ugh! Can they maybe update the last scene or something. By the time we got out- it was raining and we put on our rain jackets and let me tell you- NO ONE CLEARED THE PARK! You know how everyone says- when it rains everyone leaves- no, not the case tonight. Its not that it was overly crowded- we all were just going to stick it out.

Went over to Cosmic Rays for our CS meal- DH got the Half Rotisserie Chicken - Served with mashed potatoes and a seasonal vegetable. - $7.99 and carrot cake and I got the veggie burger and carrot cake. Stopped at the topping bar- yay! Even DH used some topping for his meal. We didn’t go listen to Mr Rays play the piano- we decided to sit outside and listen to the rain coming down. I like Cosmic Rays- I would most certainly go back again.

Ran though the raindrops some more. Did more rides- one mistake I made, I didn’t bring my Mickey cap for my head- I had a hood on my rain jacket- but the rain was running down my forehead- a cap would have been perfect.

Time goes by and its pouring- by now our shorts that were peeking from the bottom of our jackets were SOAKED and my flip flops were so slippery from being wet I had to take them off, I couldn’t even walk right. The puddles were deep- but when do you ever get the chance to run barefoot through puddles at the MK with no one around??! I was having fun….I would have stayed, but DH said..”Lets go!”

So- that was the end of our night.

I HAD plans on going to the Adventureres Club after the MK this night—but all I wanted to do after we got on the bus was get back to the room and throw on some warm jimmies and get toasty!

And we called it a night…….. it was a disappointment we didn’t get to go to the AC, I was looking forward to going this trip b/c we hadn’t been there in a few years—and we didn’t get the chance to do it this trip.

 

[maddhatir]

I asked DH if he wanted to read my TR and see the pics---

He said...."I don't need to READ it.... I LIVED it!...every minute of it!"

He is such a ding dong sometimes!

 

[TinkNH]

loving your report! I have to get more of mine done! That rainy night..(tues?) we went to mickeys backyard bbq and endd up SOAKED on teh return to the poly

They are left over animatronic people they had in the back-- they dusted them off and plopped them in the seats so the ride looked full, its good for business. ..............

I wonder where exactly it is they take your pic??? None of us looked to thrilled- so it must not be at a scary point on the ride, like ToT, RnRC, Splash Mtn etc.

The woman in front of DH looks like she is sleeping!

great trip report and we were there same time and the love bugs were very
nasty lol

 

[maddhatir]

Today was kind of a yucky day. It rained last night and was a bit cloudy and blah this morning. Original plans were to wake up whenever- relax, do breakfast at our hotel, go to the pool- get cleaned up and then head over to MGM, TS at Mama Melrose’s @ 4 and do a CS alter that night. No. Didn’t happen. Too cloudy to go to the pool this morning. But it figures, by the time we get to MGM—the sun is out. Oh- well.

Of course- we go right over to ToT- maybe a 5-minute wait. Not bad at all.

After ToT we decided to eat since we just grabbed something at the hotel to eat on the bus. Gotta do ToT before eating! Read somewhere before I left that Backlot Express was going to be closed while we were in Disney- I was very disappointed b/c I really wanted to try it. A lot of people said it was a good CS meal. Because of this news, plans were to use TS @ Mama Melrose and then CS later, wherever we ended up that night.

DH said lets just walk over to Backlot and check it out, just for the heck of it. And what do you know? They were open! Well, our plans were messed up right form the start today anyway so we walked in. It was great- we hit it around 11:30/12 when they had just opened and hardly anyone was here! DH got Double Cheeseburger - with French fries and a Strawberry Parfait, I had of course, the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich - toasted roll, mushrooms, red peppers, zucchini, tomato, watercress and mozzarella cheese OMG! Was this GOOD! And the Double Chocolate Bundt Cake. Our lunch was great- I am so glad it was open for us to try. I would certainly go back again!

Walked over to do the Muppets….looooove the Muppets! I am grown woman and they make me just crack up! (Not a fan of the pig though)

of course- everytime we do the Muppets-- WE HAVE TO LOOK @ THE KEY!
DH- insists!

After the Muppets if my memory serves me well, the Indiana Jones show was going to start……oh……yay……my fave……..DH HAS to see this every time we are @ MGM, so of course I go. It was PACKED! I think every person in the park FOLLOWED us to this show! Great! Walk in go to the right and find a seat—argh—the stage light is in my eyes! Ask DH if we can move. So we do. But we have to walk over a few people to get to the seats. Ewww. I am stuck in the middle of people. HELP! I like to be on the end. (Here comes my neurotic behavior- it only gets worse- read on!) My mind starts up… I HATE this show—and! It is STINKING HOT AND MUGGY! The light is STILL in my eyes! And oh- no—ewwww, the guy next to me smells, like B.O. you know!?? People carry around those huge backpacks that look like they pack everything in there but the kitchen sink, you would think they would throw in a travel size stick of deodorant!- but god forbid THAT might make it too heavy to carry!

My mind starts racing- its hot, this guy stinks- I start sweating and all of a sudden I tell DH I HAVE to get outta here! I feel like I am trapped! I get out of the isle seat and go up to the top of the theater and watch the show sitting on the edge of the plants—the pole was in the way- but hey! I am sane again! I can breathe…..fresh air! Whew! That’s was weird! Poor DH how in the world does he put up with me!?
(PS since I am posting pics and doing my trip report I am humming that STUPID Inadian Jones theme song! )

So where do you think we go next? Of course over to the Lights, Motors, Action! Another theater. Warned DH- I need to sit on the end. We ended up going to THEEEEEE tippy top of the theater, if you went any further back- you would fall to your death! I sat RIGHT at the end—the place started filling up-OH NO! The entire park followed us here too! We were lucky b/c no one really wanted to climb to the tippy top- we still had some seats in front of us that were not taken when the show started. BUT THE LOVE BUGS WERE OUT OF CONTROL! I had a skirt on, can I tell you how paranoid I was that they were gonna wanna check out my Mickey mouse undies!? All was OK though! Not to worry.

The show was good- we have never seen it before. I would suggest if you are going to this show- go to the first showing- or maybe the last- we went to the 2nd and it was packed! The show ended and of course there is a mass exodus for the exit- we got down to ground level and waited for most of the people to pass- you may have seen me on the sidelines- doing batting practice on the love bugs!

OH Great- (here I go again) on the way out- we pass a pile of puke right in the middle of the walkway- tell myself, OK- get this out of your mind or you will be next—the thought of puke deleted successfully! YAY!

We didn’t do too much here today- this is not my favorite park, however, I would have to say that ToT is one of my favorite rides- so we HAVE to come to this park. We walk back over to the ToT- need to do it again! And then over to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, we have not done this ride in years. We have been skipping it b/c DH and I are not crazy about the upside down thing anymore. I always kept my eyes closed! BUT! We figured lets give it a try! We were surprised there was a 20 minute wait- I think this was the longest wait time we had seen since the start of our trip. Well it took even longer b/c they were “having problems” or something. DH said maybe there is a celebrity getting on. COULD IT BE MR DEPP!?? Eh- doubt it, its probably a technical problem and will plunge to my death around the first loop, just plop right on out of my seat. Because no matter what ride I am on- I ALWAYS think just MY seatbelt or shoulder bars will fail and people will read about my bizarre death! We decided to stick it out and wait. I am glad I did. I swore to myself before I got on—I AM KEEPING MY EYES OPEN! Well, it didn’t really work for the “take off” THAT is insane- I screamed during the entire take off- I know it is only seconds- but it feels like a lifetime! I did manage to keep my eyes open for the rest of the ride, and it was nowhere near as bad as what I remembered, not too many loops. It reminded me of Space Mountain on steroids!-

It was nearing 4pm and we had ressies at Mamas but we were not hungry yet. So we ditched her, did some shopping and went back to the hotel for more sunshine (and love bugs) at the pool.

More to come- you have to hear about our experience at Alfredos (yes we love the place and wanted to eat there again)

OMG, I can SOOOO relate to being surrounded by people in the seats. I am so weird about going to the movies because of this, it completely creeps me out.

Can't wait to read more, thanks for posting and love the pics!
