Tuesday - Mmmmm alcohol...wait - what's that on my bed??
So Tuesday we had a MK day. We were both tired and I woke up at 3 am coughing and hacking and feeling like my throat was on fire. Everyone at my work had been sick the week before I left and I told myself I refused to get sick before our engagement pictures. So apparently hours after they were done, it was time for me to get sick. So popped some cold pills that Id wisely brought along in anticipation and crawled back into bed. But I couldnt get comfortable in that tiny bed with DF so I crawled into the other bed and in a unprecedented event - DF woke up before me! He looked at me really concerned like why are you in the other bed, did I kick you out? I explained that I wasnt feeling well and didnt want to disturb him - he seemed relieved. Originally I had a 7:00 reservation at Kona, but Chriss friend called and they were in Orlando as well and headed to the MK that day, so we thought wed meet up with them and watch the fireworks DF wanted me to cancel the ressie, but there were no concrete plans, so I compromised and switched our Kona reservations to 9pm. Can I just say that the hold music that Disney Dining has is the most annoying ever!
So we headed to the MK around 1:00 and immediately started doing every ride/attraction in sight. We did Stitch - why??? And TTT and Space Ranger Spin and Astro Orbiter. Then we got a fast pass to Space Mountain and headed to Pooh and Snow White and PhilharMagic. The we went back to Space Mountain - why did I love that ride when I was little? I think Im still sore from it! We grabbed some lunch at Cosmic Rays - our only junk food of the trip! We really hadnt waited in a line longer than 15 minutes so when the Peter Pan line said 30 we said why not And HOUR and a HALF (no joke) later we got on the ride. I have no idea what was going on, or why we didnt just ditch the line, but we waited and let me tell you I like the Peter Pan ride, but so not worth a 90 minute wait!
So after that I was pissed and did not want to wait in line, so we hopped on the train and took it to Frontier Land.
DF really liked the train for some weird reason.
Where again we discovered all the people. The line was over 90 minutes long. They apparently were all in line for Splash Mountain because Big Thunder Mountain had a 10 minute wait. So we road that like 3 times. We grabbed a fast pass for Splash Mountain, and then headed to Adventure land. Where we literally walked on Pirates - like I said all the people were in line for Splash Mountain. Feeling cocky we went in the line for Jungle cruise and planned to hit the Tiki Room next. Well the stupid Jungle cruise line was over an hour as well - again, I dont know what the problem was. So we went back to Big Thunder Mountain and road that like 3 more times before our fast passes became good for Splash Mountain. All day DF had been trying to get a hold of his friend to no avail - glad I didnt cancel our ressie! So it was almost time for Wishes and we headed to Main Street to get a good spot.
After Wishes we hopped on the monorail and headed to the Poly. After checking in at Kona we headed to the bar where I discovered my new favorite drink - the Magical Star. Okay yes, it has a glow cube, but its delicious as well. Mmmmmm. Finally at 9:30 we were seated and our waitress seemed frazzled. After about 10 minutes I realized why. The table next to us was demanding and rude, the table behind us had 3 children in full melt-down mode, and the one on the other side of us was trying like hell to get out of there! So she comes and takes our order and I started out the way I always do - telling the wait staff about my strawberry and beer allergies. So she looks at me and says - well dont even think about ordering the chicken (which had strawberries on it) I wasnt planning on it, but I really didnt need the attitude - like its my fault that I have an allergy. The chef came out and talked to me, and I promised it wasnt a big deal and we continued our meal. The waitress did calm-down and warm up a bit after the two tables around us left. I think she was just having one of those days. She told us that the rude table next to us had several allergies that they didnt mention until after theyd eaten dessert and then got mad at the waitress for not telling them that their was cinnamon in the bread or something to that effect. Still - not my problem - I dont need your tude - I was nice about my allergy!
So then I ordered a Lapu Lapu and I think she felt bad for me for snapping at me because what she came back with was the biggest Lapu Lapu Ive ever seen. Seriously, It was bigger than my head!
The one I had later in the trip was 1/2 the size!
Mmmmm alcohol-y
I decided my new tactic to get rid of my cold was to get all the germs drunk so theyd pass out and leave me alone. So I drank the whole thing myself
We had a sushi roll which was okay, and then I had the macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi and some chocolate dessert. As you can tell from my description, it was good - not great.
Stuffed to our gills we headed to the bus. It was almost 11:30, so the only bus we could take was to DDD. When we got there the bus to the POP was pulling away, but he stopped for us and the other 3 families that got off the Poly bus - how nice. So we headed back to our room and I was full and a bit buzzed from my gigantic rum-filled pineapple (Panic- its filled with 151 - for realz!) so imagine the double-take I did when I looked at the bed expecting maybe a towel animal, and saw this instead.
EWWW someones binky is on my bed. EWWWWWWWW.
After DF assuring me that he hadnt been sucking on a pacifier the night before, I called the front desk - in shock. The response was to ball up the sheets and put it outside the door. I hung up and thought about that and decided that was the stupidest thing in the world. So I got my shoes on and proceeded to the front desk to talk to a manager. DF was grumbling and said he was going to bed (in the non-binkyafied bed of course), so I went alone. I politely asked to see a manager and explained my situation. I could see the manager getting yelled at by a different family, and decided I definitely wasnt going to go that route. I just explained that I wanted to report it because I wanted to make sure no one else was in our room, and that it was being cleaned everyday, since wed been there for 4 days so a pacifier just randomly showing up in our room was a bit icky. The manager laughed and said she understood - but in my opinion didnt seem as shocked as I thought she should have. She said shed talk with housekeeping and run a report on our door to make sure no one had been in there. She offered to have someone come in and change the sheets that night, but DF was already asleep, so I declined. Instead I let that thing mock me all night.

oh well...that's awesome about the dress for $89. Can't wait to see pictures! Too funny that the veil and alterations are going to end up more than the dress itself. Just think how much you will get to take it in by then, the weight will have kept falling off by then...good luck!!
Hope I didn't bore you too much! I couldn't believe the deal either!
But it made me laugh, so I'm sharing - THANKS!!
We talked to my mom, and (at least for now) she's okay with not being involved in the "official" ceremony at home and just accept the one in FL. So being able to keep that "family free" will uncomplicate it and we'll have friends witness then no feeling are hurt and we're the evil ones if it comes out. So in short, to keep things simple, we'll be married before we get married
