okay... So we were waiting for our luggage...

So here's the really fast version of everyone getting to the hotel:

OMG You guys are here! yup here we are! How was your flight? Good, airports are boring! So is our luggage hereyet? No our luggage isn't even here yet! What?!?!?!!?!

SO now we're all going to bed. I still don't have clothes and I'm kinda cranky 'cause I need a shower. BAD!!!!

We're all settled down, and just as I'm about to drift off to sleep there's a knock on the door. "Luggage!"

WTH it's 11:30! This is going to do me no good! So Becky answer the door and grab clothes then fall back to sleep.

The Next Morning.

"What are we doing today?" Jeez Chrissy didn't they give you a schedule?

"We have to go watch the choir in EPCOT."

Wait a minute. EPCOT? Do these people have no respect for my traditions? Magic Kingdom is the first day!!! Are you trying to disorient me???

When we enter the park my chaperone goes, "Okay, everyone follow Lizzy!"

"Huh?"

"Well you've been here before! Where do we all want to go?"

To anyone who has never tried to organize the wants of 12 teenage girls, I assure you it is no easy task. One of the girls says, "I want to go do the countries."

I sigh, "We can't do the countries."

"Why not. Is it because you don't want to?"

Just smile, "No, it's because it's 9:30, and World Showcase doesn't open until 11."

"Whatever," yeah, I heard that word a lot.

Okay, time to be reasonable, "Look, let's head over to Soarin' and grab fastpasses for later." The fastpasses are for 12:00, that would leave us pleanty of time to go before the choir preformance which we have to be at by 1:30. However we can't take these. Why? Because one of the girls in the group is in choir, so she has to be in Italy at 11:45, and our chaperone has to go with her. None of us have to go with her, but our chaperone does, and she wants to go with all of us. Anyone have a brick wall handy? Our chaperone also wants to go on fifty other rides. Before 11:30.

So I say, "Well, look the line says half an hour! That's really good for this ride! Let's just get on the line."

So we get on the line. Do you ever have one of those times when the very nice cast members lie to you? You know when by half an hour turns into an hou and a half? I have! The entire time we're waitng, the chaperone keeps going, "You know if this line doesn't get moving, we're all gonna have to get of so I can get Molly to choir." Listen Mrs. F, I've been waiting for this ride for over an hour, I can see the entrance to the actual loading area, if you want me to move from this line you will require a bulldozer.

We finally get on the ride and when we get off I tell everyone that we need to eat. Mrs. F leaves with Molly for choir, and everyone turns to me. I suggest the food in the land, I've been craving a ham and salami grinder for like a year.

For all these people harp on how "healthy" they are and on how much my diet is "way to full of junk food" Not a single one of them can find anything to eat in Seasons.

"Well what do you guys want?"

"i don't know. just junk I guess."

"Okay, I've got it." We head over to the Electric Umbrella, and I grab a table with one of the other girls.

After we eat we had to go over to see the choir performance. Why my band director thinks it is neccesary for us to all get there 45 minutes before a performance I will never know. So we're all sitting there, and discussing what we want to do for the rest of the day. We're debating between MGM and Animal Kingdom. I keep trying to make them see reason. "Look people it's a billion degrees out, Animal Kingdom is a concrete park! There is no shade!!!!! Besides, by the time we get there it will be closed."

These three really bratty girls keep arguing with, but finally I get the rest of the group over to my side and we decide to go to MGM.


The choir performance was great. They sang some stuff from Wicked, which had me going nuts.

More later, I sorta promise.

[LizzySwan1022]

So off we go to MGM...

We get there and I do my best to ditch the better part of the group. I love them all dearly, but I can't be held resposible for my actions if they continue to repeat the same questions over and over and over. (Some people tell me i should be a teacher, this is why i cannot, I HAVE NO PATIENCE!!)

So we I get online for RnRC with a couple of people, and we're just sittin there chillen when I spot a couple of people with dream fast passes. I point them out to one of the girls.

Girl: What's so special about those?

Me: They're good for al the fast pass rides in the park.

Girl: So?

Me: If you had one you wouldn't be standing here right now, you would have already gone on the ride.

Girl: Whatever.

We wait for about an hour then get on the ride. It was kinda fun to watch quiet, restrained Mir scream her head off.

After RnRC I grab Mir and Becky. I have to say it is much easier to take care of two peoples needs at night when it's cooler than 12 people in the middle of the morning. We went on TGMR and a couple of other parck classics. It was about 45 minutes before we had to meet our chaperone, and we were wondering what the best thing to do would be. I'd suggested shopping, but Becky and Mir were trying to budget themselves (As we can all figure out, by day two that plan went up in flames). So we were just walking around when we passed Muppets, a CM was calling out that it was only three minutes to the next show, so we went in there. Becky was freaking out the whole time saying that we didn't have time.

We went out of Muppets and ran into a couple of girls from our group. They had first petioned to stay as late as possible. Now they wanted to leave immeadiatly. They were complaining because they couldn't get in touch with our chaperone, who we all knew was on a ride. They decided that instead of waiting the 15 minutes until we were supposed to leave they would go to the band director and complain.

Now, I could understand doing that if someones hurt and you can't get in touch with your chaperone, but not if you just want to leave a few minutes early. So Becky and I went and told Mr. G we didn't know what there problem was. He told us not to worry, that they were just cranky, adn Mrs. F wouldn't get in trouble or anything.

So we sat around the big hat and waited, and waited, and waited. until Mrs. F showed up. 15 minutes late. We went out ot the busses and headed home.

Here are some pictures to tide you over until I can write more....
