Chapter Seven: "Making up your own ride rules"
We left the Space Mountain area and walked towards Fantasyland. It was packed. Sardine shoulder to shoulder packed. We tried some pretzel thingie at the Launch Pad that someone recommended (why am I thinking it was a sweet pretzel?) and other than that, walked on. The kids wanted to ride the Speed way but with a 2 hour wait time, no dice.
In fact we just tried to get through the masses and bypassed every ride. Stopped at Pinocchio Haus to find out the Figaro fries were gone. Ordered 2 craptastic salads and an order of chicken tenders and fries. We will never go back there I can promise you. You could not get in or out of your seat. The tables were jammed into each other. When we left, Treyner moved a garbage can and slid out an exit and the greeter looked at us and I told him if my skinny son could not get through to leave, how the heck was I to have a chance. He nodded and let us through.
At this point I was in the mood to torture the kids so I installed the Mom guilt and forced them on It’s a Small World. This time though we decided to make a game of making fun of the dolls and come up with stories to go with the scenario. This was truly one of my more genius moments as a Mother.
Here is some pics of the line and my children not quite sure my new game plan would supersede Treyner’s idea of bringing softballs and having target practice.
Busy, Busy.
Carsyn with her perma grin ready for any photo opp regardless of her brother’s.
As we were getting ready to be que’d, the lady doing the counting and pointing was so far in the Disney comatose stage that her sense of humor had lapsed like her passport.
I asked her if the ride was scary.
She smiled.
I asked her if anyone had ever died of fright on the ride.
She smiled.
I asked her where we got the bag of softballs for throwing on the ride.
She faltered…tilted her head and smiled.
Then she pointed us to our seats.
So much for harassing the CM’s,
The ride to Hellllllllll…echooooo echooooo echooo.
Dan literally screamed as we went under the gate…the controller guy up above looked like he was going to wet himself and all the quaint and proper families were not sure if Dan knew of a revamped IASW ride with torture devices.
Beating a chicken.
Cruelty to Animals - dying them for public appeal.
Arranged child marriages.
Smoking a hookah at any age can cause lung cancer.
Ya know the dog is thinking - "I am not falling for that again!"
Really? This is not Animal Planet or National Geographic.
Look at the hazy glazed over expression here. Obviously “Intervention” needs to do a documentary.
Now we know what happened to Lord Farquhar from Shrek.
Well goodbye to you my Jewish Peeps.
This poor girl did not believe the ride was actually over so she threatened to throw herself overboard.
Then after reflection and Treyner giving her the odds she would survive her half hearted attempt to flee the slow moving vehicle, she decided the worst that would happen is she would sprain her ankle in the shallow water so she forged through.
What a trooper!
This is the seater/greeter/counter woman who did not understand my humor in the beginning of the ride. I wanted to let her know that she was not on the ballot for the Nobel Peace prize but I thought if she smiled at me again I would have to get rough with her.
We rode Haunted Mansion next and we sat in one car and the kids sat in another.
When the bars came down on us and were latched - Treyner yelled and was mumbling high pitched profanities.
Turns out the bar was pressed shut in spite of the fact his knee was in the way and he now had a huge welt forming on his knee cap.
The ride is so much fun and the guys in the house with the long arms enjoy trying to scare the other buggy by pounding on the roof as the cars turn in different directions.
I would not suggest trying it on someone you do not know as it could lead to screams and a F-off comment.
Not that I would have been privy to such antics.
Just when it was time to exit and we had gathered our straggling ghosts, the ride came to an abrupt halt. In fact it was the 3rd time in the ride that it had happened. A crypt keeper walked towards our doom buggy and I started to sweat. Wondering if we were going to get yelled at for bothering our neighbors and not keeping our hands to oursleves.
He checked us and then went to the boys.
In 2.2 I had thoughts of them getting booted from WDW. I would have been surprised over this. I mean some of the other antics made it totally plausible. This? It was nothing.
Turns out the entire ride, their buggy was not latched because when the ride opertaor closed it and it smashed into Treyner’s knee, it never actually closed.
So he was bruised and knotted for nothing and after shutting the latch to ride 10 more feet, we were released to go meet the haunted.
We then got the call from Wigd that her family was there and we set up the plan to meet by Pirates.
It was jam packed still but we found a stage to rest on and enjoy the sun.
Soon Wigd and family came and we grabbed some photos of the kids.
The Baylor’s.
Keeley and Treyner.
The adults enjoyed talking while the kids took turns riding Pirates. We got to see bits of Jack Sparrow and his show and all in all enjoyed a relaxing moment.
Then we headed to Frontierland and although Splash Mountain was bi-passed in favor of staying dry, Big Thunder was calling.
This is where you can giggle at or with Carsyn- - whichever you choose.
She had her phone upon entering the ride.
After the ride - not so much..
She spoke with management and they looked on all the trains but to no avail.
The reason this is funny to our family and Carsyn was even shaking her head is that she has the worst experiences with phones.
January of 2009 she got a new phone. Fancy phone that she paid the most for because I had a flat amount each kid could have for their phone in the new contract. Above or beyond that the kids needed to use their own money. The boys could care less as to what type of phone they had as long as it worked.
Carsyn, wanted a touch phone.
4 days after she had it, the contents of her locker at the YMCA was stolen including her purse which contained her phone.
I had told her not to bring it in the Y numerous times but she was smart and I was “Mom the worry wart.”.
6 lockers were broken into that day and voila…her phone was gone.
She then bought a used one from a friend that was very nice. She again, had it in a purse 2 months later and a little bottle of saline solution that she had in her purse, dumped out and there went phone #2.
The one she was missing, is a used one from her Grandma. The fact it could be lost was more than a little funny to us with a warped sense of humor. I had offered to get Carsyn a dummy string for it and she was now thinking it might have been a good idea.
My rule is that I pay for one phone. After that you are on your own. So we suspended the phone and said we would try the lost and found in the morning. Nothing more to do but pray and wait.
Everybody was hungry again by this point and we headed to Casey’s and sat on the patio overlooking the castle to enjoy our nuggets of dog. They were delicious and Treyner and Baylor split another meal even!
We got to watch the castle light up and it was amazing!
Up next:
The actual chapter that is the whole reason for the title.
Now who would like to read it tonight and who wants to wait till morning?
I am waiting for your poll results!
Come on lurkers…ya know you want it!

Chapter Seven: Space Mountain: Clothing Optional
Ok. Enough begging already.
Who am I kidding
More! More!
So after the castle lit and the eyes were dabbed as tears sprung forth from its beauty Wigd & Shocker and the cutie patootie grandbaby left to get blankets and warmer wear for their surprise cruise. We hung out with the rest of the family to go do Space Mountain.
We split into two groups to ride and Baylor and Treyner were in the first gathering.
After what seemed like Eons the gang trickled out to us. The boys first, all breathless and looking like they were in the FBI Witness protection program.
The astute parent that I am, I asked what they did.
They were breathing, heaving and bending over so much that I could not make out a syllable of English.
Finally, Treyner leaned back to open his lungs and said,
We took off our shirts for the picture.
I said, No Way.
They assured me that yes, the boys had done that and they were now evading the law as they were sure the security would be on high alert for the two of them.
I just stood there with my jaw open and for once nothing could come out.
I mean, they are boys and they go without shirts at the pool, beach etc... so that was not the big deal.
What I was shocked about was that they had done it on Space Mountain for crying out loud and now the two wanna be gangstas were shivering in their boots, convinced that they would be on Americas Most Wanted.
Suburb kids I tell ya.
At this point I am thinking there is a joke somewhere to be had and I am usually gullible so will soon be the butt end of it.
Then I see the rest of the gang coming and Carsyn and Keeley are shaking their heads.
I ask if the rumor was true.
That the two Cheshire grinning hooligans had indeed pulled off an Ashton Kutcher quality prank.
They assured me it was.
Here is the rest of the story as best as I can put it together from the gang that was there.
The creative plot developed as they were entering the ride, belted into the rocket. The boys knew the picture would be taken and discussed doing something goofy for the camera.
Treyner said, We should take off our shirts.
Baylor said, Yeah that would be funny.
Then Treyner said, No we better not.
Baylor, not going to back down from a prank his brother was chickening out for, said, Yeah we should its coming right now.
So in that instant, brain cells went out the window and caution was thrown into space.
I am not sure how they did it,
but they managed to rip their shirts and jackets off in seconds for a photo shot and then frantically put them back on as they climbed the hill so they did not loose any clothing as they whizzed through time and constellations.
They assumed the photo would be just blacked out before it would be posted and it would be funny to see a censored picture of themselves.
They were wrong.
As they were about to disembark from their space mobiles - they saw a crowd of onlookers, gazing at the viewing panel of monitors.
They knew the picture was on the screen.
If they questioned it...
a mother covering her daughters eyes, was a tell tale sign they were on Cops - Disnified.
Carsyn and Keeley were in the car in front of the boys so they had no idea what was going on.
All they knew was that the boys took off and Treyner was pulling his hood over his head in efforts to disguise himself.
Carsyn and Keeley went to to the monitors to see what the commotion was about and
there
For all to see
Were my sons
In their shirtless glory.
Rebels
Of all things Disney.
More Chip then Dale.
Ready for it?
Are you sure?
Well if you insist .
And I wont get my Mother of the Year award in 2037 revoked
I will share this moment of all things Bundy
With You
My faithful friends .
Now I ask you what is more funny than that picture?
My absolute favorite part of the picture is Baylor - covering his piddiples because he thought that showing them might be a bit over the top!
Keeley snapped a picture of it on her phone seconds before the screen went black. Then, the girls went running to us and showed me the picture to prove there was no denying my sons were crazy.
So for normal parents they might have given a stern lecture to their kids.
Not me.
I was laughing so hard I wanted to cry.
Because it was totally them having a brotherly moment of shenanigans.
I know that most people have seen what they exposed every summer of their life.
But this is Disney.
And that alone is what makes it priceless.
Because they have learned to meld their teenage goofiness with Disney and have fun where most teens say they are too old to appreciate.
So yes - if there is a new warning at Space Mountain that says, Shirts and Shoes must remain on for the entire ride
You can thank Treyner and Baylor.
Ok. Enough begging already.
