Desserts were finished. Drinks were drunk. And a general maelstrom followed as we discussed plans for the rest of the evening.
Jami, B and S&M decided to stay at AKL for some animal fun.
Not that theres anything wrong with that.
Horsey decided to go back to the Pop. Grammy, Grampy and I hopped a bus for to go to Epcot. Which was the quickest way. Back. To the Swan. Where they were staying. For some odd reason.
I think they didnt want to be with the Grand Gathering.
I'm just sayin.
Because. Even though we had a VERY important date. At the Hippy Dippy. I wanted to see the Swan. And. Grammy and Grampy love me. So. They took me.
Digression Alert!!!!!
There was a photopass lady just inside Epcot. She took this MOST flattering picture of us:
Oh!! Oh!!! This ones even better!!!!
I totally drove B crazy with this. Photopass thing. EVERY time I saw a photographer. I made her pose for a picure. Hahhahaha!!!! She HATED it!!!!
Hahahahhaha!!! I LOVED it!!!!!! That she hated it. And I made her do it. Anyway!!!!!! Hahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's my friend. It was the right thing to do.
Yoo Hoo.
We wandered through Epcot towards the International Gate. Grammy and I. Arm in arm. Grampy was around somewhere. Too. I think.
WAIT!!!!!! I just benembered. Grampy fell behind. Cause Grammy kept trying to trip him.
YOU THINK IM JOKING, DONT YOU???
Ask her. But stand back 4 feet so she doesnt trip you. Too.
I just love Epcot at night. All the parks, really. Thats when theyre the most magical. To me. All twinkle-ly goodness. And stuff. I would like to marry it someday. When Im all growed up. AS IF!!!!!!!
Yoo Hoo.
For those of you who may be actually interested. In the ed-u-k-shun-el aspect. Of this trip report. The Swan was not half bad. Its a fine choice if you want the Epcot area. And dont want Magical Express. Or enjoy The Smell of Free Dining. The beds are VERY comfy. TFI. I should know.
I stretched right out. On theirs. I may have jumped on it. Too.
Cause Im borg that way.
Segway.
We went back down to the lobby. For to hail a cab. For to head back to the Pop. To pay our respects to our Canadian friends.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
But I digress. (Sammy, please note!)
Yoo Hoo.
As we stood chatting. This big black shiny car swoops up. But parks on the OTHER side of the (insert fancy french accent here) car port.
Grampy insists thats our cab. Its not yellow, Grampy. It doesnt say taxi on it.
BUT. If it has a sun roof in it. IM THERE, BAY-BEE!!!!!
Cause you know me and Grammy would have our Paris and Nicole on.
FER SURE!!!!!
Wed be standin up, hangin out that roof. The WHOLE way back. To Pop. Laughing like loons. Victory arms HIGH!!!!!
So. I decided to check it out. But. Im a little on the small(ish) side.
NOT CINDY LOU WHO, Mr. Silli, thank-you-very-much!!!!!!
And. I couldnt see the roof of the car.
So. I jumped. I couldnt see the roof. So. I jumped. Again. I couldnt see the roof. I jumped. Again. I STILL COULDNT SEE THE FRICKIN(NOF) ROOF!!!!
If only Id had my heels on.
FINALLY. I stood back a few paces. Took a running start.
And.
JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No flippin sun roof.
This is NOT our cab!!!!
Oh. But it was.
I dont benember any details from the cab ride. Mai Tai say it was all a blur????
BUT.
When we saw that are we there yet sign. We were READY.
YAK WAS WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grammy and I hit the ground running. Well. Skipping. Actually. Arm in arm. We left Daddy Warbucks in the dust. For to pay the driver. And. As soon as we hit the back door of the lobby.
Yak???!!!!!
YAK??!!!!!!
YAK???!!!!!
Our little Canadian friend POPPED up out of her chair. Conveniently located RIGHT NEXT to the Hippy Dippy pool bar.
Mai Tai say that location is everything!!!!!!
DRINKS ALL AROUND!!!! Yaksaac was pouring. Her own special little friend.
That Pluto!!! At it again!!!!!
He really liked the mango passion margarita.
Digression Alert!!!!!!!
The very first time I ever went to London. My girl friend and I were supposed to meet my very dear Scottish friend. In a pub. We were there on time. He was late. TFI. So. We ordered a beer. Naturally. And. We ordered a pint.
Picture us. Two young women. Sitting in a crowded pub. Tossing back a pint. Or two.
Then Owen walks in.
Hes HORRIFIED!!!!!!! HOR-IF-FIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you could see the look. On his face. In my mind.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently. In England. If youre a respectable LADY.
You NEVER drink from a pint.
Ooopsies!!!!!!! We did seem to be getting a lot of attention. But. We just thought it was because we were Americans. We didnt know it was because we were potential DATES!!!!!
Digression over
..
Yoo Hoo.
Jami and S&M showed up. And. As Jami and I were talking. A certain silli person. WALKED RIGHT BY SHER!!!!!
Sher: Jami!!! Thats Mr. Silli!!!
Jami: Are you sure?
Sher: Jami!!!! Yes!!!! Sher is ALWAYS right!!!
So. I not-too-loudly-at-all. Call. Out.
MR. SILLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this certain silli person whips around.
Now. He ALLEGES he didnt see me. Compared me to Cindy Lou Who.
Maybe if I had a Eukele. Or a Hawaiian print shirt.
WOULD YOU HAVE NOTICED SHER THEN, MR. SILLI?????
All I can say is this. Be Kind To Your Small Person Friends. Silli. GOT IT?????
And. Can I just say right now. That Mr. Sillill TALK YER EAR OFF!!!!!! He's a NON-STOP TALKER, that one!!!!!
Yoo Hoo.
Apparently we had just missed our pal and Mr. Sillis partner in the quest for world domination, HaleyB.
I looked towards the Yo Yo. But all I could see was a lifeless body laying in a lounger.
Oh. Nevermind. Its just nebo.
He dozed off in a Disney lounger next to the Hippy Dippy pool, and woke up dead.
We managed to find Haley and we all spent hours and hours. Just yakking and yakking. And yakking. The good yak. Not the bad yak. TFI.
And. Though Ive said it before.
Ill be saying it OVER AND OVER again.
It was magical. As if we had known each other FOR EVER. Even though we were meeting for the first time. That didnt matter. Not one bit. The bonds were already formed.
Malestrom
