(And Why Would They Want To???) and The Freebies (I promise)!!!!
Alrighty then. Where were we?? Right. When last we left this intrepid reporter she was in quite the fix. Caught with her pants down. So to speak.
Never fear!!! I just hiked my skort up and rolled it over a couple of times. Kind of like what I need to do to a certain part of my anatomy when Im not wearing my anti-gravity apparati. You know that of which I speak. The one(s) that gravity, age and breastfeeding havent been such swell friends. Too.
Yeah.
Nice mental picture for ya!!!
Youre Welcome!!!!
Segway.
After BTMR there was a little matter. Up for consideration. Fix my drawers??? Or go ride Johnny???
DUH!!!!
No contest there. Plus. Going through Adventureland WAS the logical path back to Main Street, right???
And. Yo Ho, Yo Ho, you guessed it.
WALK ON!!!! Again.
I kid you not.
I am thoroughly enchanted with the new POTC. POTC2, not so much. That was 2 and a half hours of my life Ill never get back. TFI.
Yoo Hoo.
I did not manage to get ANY good Johnny pics. Either. So Friends, POST AWAY.
Please and thank you.
HaleyB!!!! This means you!!!
BTW~ Are those boats faster than they used to be??? Or is it just me??
After we de-boarded our pirate ship aaargh!!! We exited into ye old dump shop. I played Lady Pirate with a couple of boys.
Their wives werent too happy.
JOKING!!!!!!
Then we stepped out into the bright sunny day.
Segway.
Ive heard. Since Ive been back. A couple of so-called Suth-nahs.
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEAT.
WHAT???!!!
Can I just say right now. I LOVED THIS WEATHER!!!! It was PERFECT!!!
And. As multiple Vikings can attest too. I spent every waking moment.
BASKING IN THE SUN!!!!!
Yoo Hoo.
(Actually. At this point in my notes. I have a note. It reads, in and out. I have not a clue what that means. Lets just pretend we didnt see that, k??)
B and I meandered our way back towards Main Street. For to find. Three things.
1) hair thingamabobbers for Shers hair.
2) safety pins for Shers skort.
3) A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH
THOSE THINGS ARE KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!! They ROCK MY SOCKS!!!!! Or they would. If I was wearing any. Underwear either. For that matter.
No!!! Im just kidding. Or am I???
But I digress (are you taking notes sammy??).
We stopped in the first little shop. I forget what its called. You know. The one with all the Disney crap??
WAIT!!!!
THATS what that note meant!!!!!! In and out. Cause thats what we did. We went IN AND OUT of EVERY freaking store.
No soup for me.
No hairthingamabobbers either.
Or safety pins.
BUT THEN.
I had a BRILLIANT idea.
The (insert fancy French accent here) hat shop!!!!!
SCORE!!!!!!
Not only did they have bobby pins.
They GAVE them to me.
As in. FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Power to The People Baby!!!!!!!
Something FREE at the World. Whatdaya know!!!!!
Be nice to people. Theyll be nice back.
See now. If you know me. Heres where youd be asking yourself.
What??? Sher settled for bobby pins?? Not tigger ears??? No Goofy hat???"
Heres the thing. I had my heart. Set. On the cuuuuutttttteeeeesssstttt pair. Of Mickey ears. I saw them last December in Animal Kingdom. They were cheetah. I think. Maybe leopard. Im not sure. But. They were super cute. And. For once in my life.
I resisted the impulse to buy.
And regretted it this whole past year.
But. I could ONLY get them at Animal Kingdom. And I wasnt going there. For another day.
So. It was bobby pins for me. Plus. I can do some snazzy hair maneuvers. Im like MacGyver. But for hair.
Now. Where was I???
OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!!!
Oh. My.
A moment of silence please.
But. Holy Crap!!!! Those suckers are BIG!!!! So. B and I split one. And used one snack credit.
Did I mention yet that this was FREE????
Cause it was. Just so you know.
Seriously though. That sucker was soooo big. I could only eat half of a half.
I know. HORRORS!!!!!
But. There ya go.
As we passed the corner into Tomorrowland 2 CMs eyeballed my cream. And asked Sher to share.
Sher has no problem. With sharing. TFI.
Yoo Hoo.
Space Mountain...
Aaaaahhhh. The Third Mountain. My day is complete(ish).
Power to The People!!! Cause this line was soooo not. A line. At all. We rode twice. In a row. Of course this ride is a perfect example of why one would choose a skort. TFI.
Digression Alert!!!!!
B was perfectly happy to be along on this little adventure. Knowing shed be meeting up with my imaginary Internet friends. She only had one request. And that was Boma. Which we were doing. That very night. In fact.
But. For some reason. Unbeknownst to me. And. TO THIS DAY I WILL NOT UNDERSTAND.
Her eyes landed on the AstroOrbiter. And she wanted a ticket to ride.
Why???? Dear God, Why???!!!!
But. I went along with my friend. It was the right thing to do.
I guess.
I swear this is THE lamest ride. Holy crap!!!!
But. A funny thing happened on the way to the AstroOrbiter.
On the way up we recalled a trip we took together. To St. Louis. And. In typically SUCKER tourist fashion. Shelled out the bucks. To go up in the Arch.
WHAT A RIP OFF!!!!!!!!
Did you know once you get in that POD and the doors close. THERES NO WINDOWS???
Well. Theres a window in the pod. But. What you see.
Is the inside of the arch.
I do. NOW.
Yoo Hoo.
As we approached our own personal tin can of cyclic H-E double hockey sticks, B says to me, Gee, Im not sure I can get in that.
So. Silly me. Says, Sure you can. You get in first. Ill get in behind you.
Well. Let me just say right now. Two grown women CAN ride AstroOrbiter. I still have not a clue as to why they would want to.
Yoo Hoo.
I climbed in behind my friend. But could not fit my legs around my friend. And ended up riding the entire ride. With my knees. Up around my ears.
Now I know what my twins felt like cooped up inside my 105 lb body for nine months.
If you were in Tomorrowland on September 29th, that HYSTERICAL hyena you heard???
That would be me. I COULD NOT STOP. Laughing. Like a loon. The ENTIRE ride. With my knees. Up around my ears.
Segway.
No trip to the Magic Kingdom would be complete. For me. Without paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow and, of course. The Carousel of Progress.
Sigh.
Thats the magic right there, folks.
God bless B cause right about this time she decided shed like to retreat. To the Pop. Which was A-ok with me. Since my skort kept threatening. To do some retreating of its own.
But. We couldnt leave without picking up a hitchhiker. So. We went back through the castle. And caught ourselves a doombuggy.
Good times.
As we headed back down Main Street. And out towards the bus stop.
I looked at my watch. And giggled.
Up Next: Boma Baby!!!! The Swan, Yakking at the Hippy Dippy and Mr. Silli Ignores Sher!!!! (ok, even Im fully aware thats far too ambitious. Youll take what I give you. and like it!!)
PS~ From what I can benember. I think the Viking contact for this day was:
Jami~ while on the hair thingamabobber quest
Gram~ while dining at Pinnochios
YAK~ I believe it was on The PeopleMover. My favorite ride. In all the World.
