Well, it's Thursday and the girls are up bright and early, even Mom. We get dressed and grab a quick cup of coffee before heading to the van to go to the Contemporary. M1 enters the room just as we are leaving. I tell him it's a girls' morning, but we are meeting up at Epcot later and would he like to come? He's in a good mood as he has booked a tee time for Friday and appears agreeable, so he says yes and I tell him A and I will come back to get him between 5pm and 6pm and we'll head out from there.
Mom and A and I head over to the Contemporary, where we head to the marina. The boats aren't open yet, so it's off to the claw machines in the Food and Fun Center, of course! We all win prizes and then it's off to the boats. Mom and I are old pros, and A gets a quick lesson. Soon we are off speeding around the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, having a blast. Weather is perfect, not too many boats out, and we all have "good" boats that go fast (every year, mom seems to get stuck with a dud boat, but not this year!). We are out about an hour when I turn to look behind me and Mom is stopped next to one of the "boat police". A is floating near her, so I head back, thinking Mom has stalled out. The Boat Policeman waves me over and as soon as I get within hearing distance says, "I am glad you ladies are having a good time, but some of the larger boats have radioed in that you are getting too close. You need to be more aware and stay away from them!" We are very cowed by his authority and pledge never to let it happen again. A and Mom are mortified. We decided to take one last loop around and then head back in. Once we get in the docking area and get out, we fight over who it was that got us in trouble. A says she has no idea, but I am sure it was Mom! She's always flirting with boat police danger. We are always yelling at her for having a wake in the "No Wake" zones. She protests her innocence and we decide to head in for lunch.
We take the monorail to the Poly, where we are hoping the Tambu lounge will be open. Unfortunately, it is too early. We are disappointed (we all love this place), but decide that we should head to the GF to go to the GF Cafe. Mom and I have enjoyed several lunches here. It's bright and pleasant and the food is good with big portions. After shopping in the Poly, we get back on the monorail for the GF. We are seated in the Cafe right away and A and I decide on burgers. Mom has a Caesar salad which was the biggest salad I've ever seen. We spend a leisurely couple of hours talking girl talk and then Mom leaves to meet Dad at Epcot and A and I start the lengthy bus rides back to OKW to pick up M1. We arrive back at the room at 5:45pm, where we meet M1 on the couch. He states he was just about to leave without us because we were late (which we weren't). A and I change into warmer clothes and we head to the busstop.
Here's where I have to insert more background. A's boyfriend also works with M1 and myself. They have only recently started dating, and it's all new to her. M1 has been talking to the BF on the phone everyday to check work status. He now proceeds to walk behind us to the busstop, yelling things at A such as: "I talked to your boyfriend today. I told him you didn't want to talk to him. We talked about how you were such a loser and he wishes you would leave him alone and get a life. He can't stand you." I want to remind you that although this may sound like the mean tauntings of an 11 yr old, M1 is actually 35!! A puts up with this taunting because she is a "keep the peace at all costs" kind of girl. Not so me. I see the tears in A's eyes and I turn on M1. I tell him he needs to shut up and leave her alone. I figure the case is closed. A gets up the nerve to say something about his morning habit of waking the dead, and he responds, "Oh, you noticed that? Good. I do it on purpose to p*** you off for making me sleep on the pullout."
At this point I lose the capacity for rational thought, and I apologize to anyone who may have been standing at the South Pointe busstop and was subjected to this. I wheel around and say: "Oh, you do, do you? Well, that's just perfect. Perhaps you don't realize that when you're slamming around making all that noise to p*** me off, you're also waking up my parents, under whose hospitality and generosity you are staying. You have a free place to stay in a great resort, A's been giving you free passes for which you have yet to thank her, and actually, you have yet to appreciate anything." M1 stares at me for a minute, and then turns to head back to the room with a "Forget it, I'm not going." Like this is supposed to upset me? I tell A we're heading to Epcot without him, but I can tell she's upset, so we go back to the room to confront him. By the time we get there, he is gone, and we head back to the busstop.
We get to Epcot and start our tour around the world. We can basically talk about nothing else but M1. A is apprehensive about going back to the room and seeing him, I am just plain p****d. We still manage to eat pasteries in France, participate in the Holy Grail show in the UK, shop everywhere and watch fireworks. We decide when the park closes to walk over to the Boardwalk, as we are hungry and have yet to eat anything substantial. It's a very pleasant walk over there, where we get pizza and subs at the takeout window and eat at an outside table. A suggests that since we are here, maybe we could go to JellyRolls. We had stopped briefly there on our last weekend trip, but didn't have time to stay. We arrive at JellyRolls at about 9:30, and sit through three player changes. Someone requests "Rocky Top" and they start to play it. Halfway through, one player stops and says, "I have received $10 to stop playing Rocky Top, and only $3.00 to play it. So the going bid is $11.00!" Someone runs up with $11.00 and they start to play it again. Then someone runs up with a $20.00 to start up again. Turns out we have a UT/FSU rivalry going on! Finally a Tennessee fan comes up with $30.00 and they finish playing Rocky Top. The whole evening was a blast, especially when one of the players sat on top of his piano and sang like Kermit the Frog while the other one played "Rainbow Connection". Too much fun! Pretty soon we realize it's about 12:30am and we're exhausted. We take the bus to DTD and transfer to the OKW bus.
When we get back to the room, M1's car is gone. Mom comes out to see who is coming in and asks if we've seen him. We say no. I check and his clothes are still in our closet. We figure he'll be back and go to bed. We were never to see him again, although he would make his presence known the rest of the trip. I am still seething with anger and A is completely befuddled at this bad, and therefore incomprehensible to her, side of human nature.
Coming up: Day 7 (the last full day): Park hopping at all three parks, dinner at the Flying Fish, the disappearing suitcases and the mysterious telephone calls...plus trying to find A a way home (since she drove with M1 and he is apparently long gone!).
