Day 3
The day of the infamous Smirnoff Spilling Incident
We decided that we were going to have breakfast sent to our room because the very idea that you can fill out a little card, put it on your doorknob, pick a time and have pancakes just show up when you awaken is absolutely fascinating to me. So we had put the card out the night before and set the alarm for 15 minutes before our window of time.
We were, however, woken up by the demons that apparently re-entered the soul of the child in the room above us, much earlier than that. Luckily, we were so tired that we drifted back to sleep, only occasionally waking to the screams. Finally the food arrived and it was perfect. I wish they had that at home. I wish at home, I could put a little card on my doorknob, and maybe the people down the street would just come bring me a plate of breakfast.
Once we finished, I noticed that I was in a lot of pain. A lot of pain. Now, let's play Q&A! Multiple choice! Here we go!
Question : When taking a Segway tour while wearing a tank top and shorts, when it is 90 degrees out and you will be exposed to the open sunny paths of Epcot all morning, what is the smart thing to do?
A. Use a good sunscreen
B. Don't use a good sunscreen and get very badly burned and blistered until the pain you feel is excruciating and you look like Claws, The Amazing Wondrous Lobster Girl from Mars
The correct answer is A.
Any takers on which answer I chose that day?
I chose B. Well, maybe not chose. Forget. I forget and there I was, looking like I could score some cash at the circus sideshow. And to make matters worse, I was meeting some fellow DISers tonight. "Hi, I'm Sheri and I am normally not this shade of red" would become my greeting.
At least the pain on my shoulder, neck and arms made my feet not hate me as much as they were starting to because they realized that I was being awful to my other parts as well
Anyway, I decided to just splatter myself with sunscreen and get on with my day. We hit the pool first, briefly, and then went to MK. At MK we just sort of wandered and hit some of the rides we didn't get to the first time. We planned to hit Fantasmic that night, but opted to instead just stay at MK.
We missed a few attractions, like Stitch, Space Mountain, Buzz (seeing a pattern here), and we also skipped Peter Pan. But we managed to get on most everything else. I want to come out and admit that I love the Country Bears and the Tiki Room. I don't care what anyone says!
Now, I have a dumb question why is it that when a person goes to WDW in Dec. when it's 50 degrees out, one gets drenched to the bone on Splash Mountain, but when one goes on the same ride in May when it's 90 degrees out, hoping and praying to get soaked, one only gets a teeny tiny sprinkle of water on one's arms? Why is that?
We also had dinner at LTT. I love LTT but our waitress was the same lady we had in Dec. and she was just as slow this time. It took about 2 hours to get through our meal, get the bill and get out. But I'll go back, I always do. The food is too good to pass up. Hopefully, we won't get this waitress again...
Well, as fun as the day was, we had people to meet at Jellyrolls, somewhere I'd never been. I wanted to go back to the room to shower first before meeting up with them, and found after my shower that I was even more burned than before, and that the pool chlorine would not wash out of my hair. Great! So I have red skin and greenish tinted hair and I look like some sort of reject Batman villain and this will be their first impression.
Splendid. Let's go.
I'd never been to Jellyrolls before but I have been to the Boardwalk. Well, the first thing I noticed is it is rather dark and quite loud. I was planning to meet with Rick (known to you as RicknNYC), his partner Joe, Craig (know to you as CrCormier) and Coco (known to you as Bajanswife) and her friend Mia.
Chris and I walked in and looked around. Now I had a dilemma. I wear glasses and need them to see details (ie. Peoples faces). But none of the people who would be looking for me know that and my glasses change the way I look (it's part of my reject Batman villain costume
) so I didn't want to wear them. So I just meandered about aimlessly until a table full of people, who from a distance resembled the people I was seeking, started waving at me.
But were they waving at me? I didn't want to go up and be all like "Hi!!!" if they were really waving at the people behind me. Then I realized there were no people behind me, and went up and met some of the coolest DISers ever.
It was great fun. Jellyrolls is now on my "must do once a trip" list. We had a great time. But, and here it comes there was one minor mishap.
Well maybe not so minor to Craig, who was the unfortunate victim of the mishap.
Gather round your friends and families folks, for it's time to laugh at Sheri!
Coco and her friend had to leave and not wanting to seem rude, I stood up to shake hands and bid her good night. The shaking hands part went okay, but the standing up part, eh, not so well..
As I stood up, everything got quiet like it does when one is about to do something dreadfully embarrassing and suddenly, Craig was wearing my Smirnoff Ice on his shoes. Awesome. I just knocked over my drink. Everyone thought I was drunk (I'd only had one for pete's sake). I looked like a moron! The guys at the pianos were going to start a sing a long some sort of "let's mock the lobster girl" song! I'd have to run out crying and hide on the savannah with my zebras (which might not be so bad)! This was the most horrifically embarrassing moment of my life. I had spilled an alcoholic beverage on a fellow DISer!
While I was panicking, I noticed, Joe, who is awesome, cleaning my purse off with some napkins, and everyone else just basically acting like it was not a big deal. I still felt like an idiot though but I thanked Joe and everyone and apologized to Craig and we all did one of those silly group dances and life went on. Thank goodness that was over.
After a while, Rick and Joe left leaving Chris, Craig and myself. We stayed till Jellyrolls closed, and then Craig was kind enough to drive us back to AKL. He came out to the back with us and we looked for some animals.
For some reason, I could see a giraffe in the distance in the savannah that the guys couldn't see, but beyond that, most of the critters were tucked away for the night. Craig stayed until around 3:30 at which point, we all decided it was time to get some sleep. He headed back to the Boardwalk and we headed to our room.
What a great night.
Well, aside from the Smirnoff spilling at least it wasn't red wine
One last thing, when we got upstairs, Chris noticed a cute towel animal had been left for us. We had not noticed it when we'd gone upstairs earlier before Jellyrolls, since it was tucked away in the corner. It was adorable. It looked like a little penguin. What a cute way to end my night
I drifted off to sleep, feet achy but way too tired to care.
More later! For now, happy Disney sleep...
