Ok, where did I leave off?? Oh yes, parade, heat and black spots.
Just as the parade was in sight, I needed to sit down before I passed out. I had been drinking a bottle of water and decided that I should use some to cool myself down. I drizzled some on my legs, arms and down the back of my neck. I did not see most of the parade
.I did see Cinderella and her Prince though. We did not have curb side seats; we were more up against the fence at the Tomorrowland side of the circle in front of the castle.
Just about as the parade was finishing up I stood up and said ok, time to leave.
We followed the parade down Main Street and made our way out of the park.
On our way back to the hotel I asked who was going swimming. Anyone
..anyone
.HELLO?? Bruce finally said he would go with me. I asked the kids. No, Katie was tired and Zack only does what Katie does. Mind you
when we said we were going to Florida, the first thing Zack was excited about was the pool at the hotel. Besides, Katie had to call her own Prince Charming
..AGAIN.
Tell me people, what did we ever do without cell phones??? How did we survive our teenage years with a phone attached to our hip??
We arrived back at the hotel and the kids collapsed onto the beds. Sure you dont want to go swimming?? Nope. Ok
we are going.
Bruce and I got our bathing suits on, grabbed our mugs and off we went.
I could not wait to get into that pool and cool off! We found a couple of chairs that were half in the shade; I stripped off my cover up and was ready. Bruce said he was going to go and get something to drink. Oh, yea, can you fill mine for me please?? Poweraide
.thanks babe!!
He went off to the food court and I jumped into the pool. Ahhhhhhhh
..hmmmmm Kind of warm, not too refreshing
.
I paddled around a bit and Bruce came back. He went over to put down drinks and take off his sneakers and t-shirt. He started walking toward the pool when the lifeguard made an announcement that everyone had to exit the pool for some unscheduled pool maintenance
Poor Bruce!!! The look on his face was saying, you have GOT to be kidding me!!
So close but yet so far away!!
I hauled my pooh size butt out of the bathtub
.ahhh I mean pool and went to join Bruce.
We sat and enjoyed our cool refreshing drink while we talked about the morning and watched the lifeguards milling around the pool edge.
Our attention now was on what the lifeguards were doing. They seemed to be doing the Rock, Paper, Scissors thing trying to decide just who was going to be the lucky person to skim the pool. After watching for some time, it finally dawned on us what exactly the unscheduled problem was.
Did you know that poop floats???
OHHHHH GROSS!!! Now I understand, little kids dont know any better and accidents happen but thats just nasty!!
The unlucky guard that lost the Rock, Paper, Scissors, managed to skim all the floaties out of the pool and they shocked the water with some chemicals.
Some time later, when they decided that the pool had been decontaminated, they reopened it.
Did we go back in?? I know you all thinking that!! Well, yes, we did.
It was at the totally opposite end of the pool that we were in anyway.
After some much needed rest and relaxation, hair fixing, boyfriend talking, attitude adjusting, we had dinner at the food court before heading back to the park.
We get back to the park and of course I had to go through the bag check line. Can you believe someone was hauling one of those white Styrofoam coolers into the park
.FILLED WITH BEER!!! Needless to say, security confiscated it. I really hope they return it to me on the way out
..Hey, I was thirsty!!!
We arrived back at the park and headed back to Tomorowland. OHHHH lucky us, Stitch was back up!! Yipppeeee Yahooooey!! We pulled out FP out of our pocket and got into line. As we stood waiting for our turn, we noticed some commotion. We turned to the standby line were we saw fists flying!! OH a fight!!! Another Disney Magic Moment!!
There were a couple of teenage kids
.couldnt really see. I heard that was one girl and one boy. It settled for a moment and then started again. There was another woman who was screaming at them. She had a small child that was very close to this and could have gotten hurt.
Well that was exciting!!
The door to the Stitch ride was now opening
.no turning back now. We went in, watch the little preshows and went to take our seats.
I think what I hated most about this ride was that when the lights went out and it was pitch black, everyone was screaming
.for NO REASON!!! So Stupid!!
We managed to live to tell the tale of Stitch and was dumped out into the, oh look
.a giftshop!! What a concept!! We actually bought something here. Our sister-in-law asked us to get her a Stitch mug so we found a great one here and had it shipped to the hotel.
From here, Zack really wanted to go on Space again. Being as there was a 50 wait and the parade was due to start sooner then that, I passed on it. What can I say, I love Parades!!
The three of them went off to that while I went my way. I told them to call me when they got off.
First thing I did was to head towards the Castle, took some picture and I went up through and stopped at the shop inside there and looked at all the beautiful crystal things in there.
I then made my way to the shop just outside Philharmagic. There was a great t- shirt there that Bruce liked so I went back to buy it for him.
The shirt says, Im in a Fowl Mood.
I stopped and took some pictures of the Carousel.
Soon I got a call from Bruce saying that Katie was heading my way, she decided she didnt want to stand in line anymore. Apparently, the line was taking a lot longer then what was quoted. Bruce was about ready to leave himself but Zack got all POed and wanted to ride!! They ended up standing in line for about 1 ¼ hours with Zack not saying a word!! OHhhh that attitude!!
I told Bruce that I would meet Katie in front of the castle. After some agonizing moments we finally found each other. There were so many people I was afraid she would never find me!!
We walked over to Liberty Square by the Hall of Presidents to watch the parade. Bruce and Zack finally called us and we told them where we were. They made it over by the end of the parade.
When the parade was over, we found a seat there in Liberty Square while Bruce went off to find drinks. Wishes would be starting soon.
We adored the show and shed a few tears, ok, so I shed a few tears. Im a crier, just like Mel Happyhaunt!! Criers Unite....right Mel??
We decided now to try and get onto Pirates, there had been a mile long line there all day and refuse to stand in it.
By this time it was a walk on and there were very few people there. I did notice that the music was a bit different and didnt seem as Yo ho hoey as usual. When we came to the first Captain Jack I was SHOCKED at how real he looked. I seriously thought he was a real person standing there. After passing him
.I turned around in my seat to watch him to see if he continued to move as he was or if would reach up to scratch his nose or adjust his boxers. I guess he wasnt real. BUT gosh, he looked it!! GREAT JOB DISNEY!!
We left the park by 10:45 just before the final Specto parade. We had to stand on the bus back to the hotel and I was so tired but managed to stay on my feet.
We were all in bed by midnight with a 6:30 wake up call confirmed
.they wished us Magical Dreams and we all went to sleep dreaming of TOT.
Coming up next
..Lunch at Primetime, a water bottle blowout and a Sleeping (?) tourist.
