We left Fantasmic with the masses and I thanked my lucky stars that I wasnt standing at the exit scanning the crowds for Mr. Frick. Could you imagine? Shudder. I got so worked up reliving what I wrote yesterday that it wasnt funny.
On to better times!
After leaving the show, we took the crew on back to POR. Mr. Frick was ready to watch some football (sweet guy, he had given up his favorite Saturday ritual to run around the pool and the parks all day
he even missed his Bama boys, but I dont think it mattered because they didnt win anyway. Ouch.), the boys were ready to sit on their beds and play with their game boys and I was ready to go and meet my sweet Dis friends!!! I took a quick shower, tried my darndest not to look tired and worn out and I threw on my clothes and my party shoes. I had called Horsey and asked her where they were. She told me they were still at the Poly and the plans were to watch Wishes from the beach and if I hurried I could make it. I tried my best to get out the door quickly. I informed Mr. Frick about my plans for the night and told him I was very uncertain about what time I would be back because we might stay out late. He was cool with it all and we decided that I should drive our car rather than taking the bus. I did not want to be on the bus by myself at night and I was unsure about how to get to the Poly on the bus system anyhow. I also knew this meant that I would be a good girl and not have too much to drink or stay out too late since I was driving.
After getting lost two times, jumping three curbs, tearing up Disney grass and dangerously crossing six lanes of Disney entrance traffic, I finally made it to the Poly. Dont ask.
I knew I was going to valet park. Mr. Frick gave me extra money to do so. I didnt want to be in a dark parking lot by myself at night. I try to avoid doing that if I can.
I pulled up to the Poly valet and got out of my car. I asked the CM who came to take my keys how the deal worked. Was I supposed to pay now or when I picked up my car? The CM told me, Well, it will not cost you anything except for what you want to tip. Wow. I started wondering why I had never valet parked at Disney before. It was free, except for the tip. Sweet. I gave the CM a $4.00 tip, which I thought was very fair, and I knew I would tip him again when I picked my car up.
Since I had on my party shoes, I couldnt run through the lobby even though I really wanted to. I was ready to put some faces with some names and laugh in person with my crazy, sweet friends! Horsey called me and asked me where I was. I told her I was about to be at the volcano pool and she said that she would come and meet me. Next thing I know, I see two gorgeous girls, Jamal and Horsey! It was good to see sweet Horsey again and be with her!!! Jamal and I hugged and I thought about how glad I was to finally meet this sweet girl (and she has the most beautiful skin ever)! Jamal and I had pmd each other a good deal because we were both interested in going to the meet but had some concerns about how it would all come together for us. It was so neat to finally be there with her! Ive been to Disney with her before, but only through her Trip Report, which by the way you should read if you havent!!! Jamal and I had spoken on the phone a couple of weeks before the meet, and I told her that when she first started posting I thought she was a male. I had to pm Horsey and ask her if Jamal was male or female because I just couldnt get her screen name. It was funny.
We made our way to the beach and I got to meet the rest of the wonderful crew! Let me tell you, parts of this night were foggy for me. A lot was going on, people were leaving, pictures were being taken, decisions on what to do next were being made
.but here is what I remember.
I met Sher! She is the most spirited Disser I know and she is just precious! She is a little thing with a whopping big personality! She is writing a TR
The Bold and the Beautiful
.you should read it!
I met Grammy! Grammy has cracked me up since day one. She is one of the funniest Dissers I know! Grammy is a hot little young thing. Dont let her screen name fool you! She has been sweet to post here on my TR a lot. I hope shell write a trip report!
I met Ash! Ash is tall and gorgeous! Finally someone my height! Ash and I had sent a pm to each other early on when I found out she was visiting my hometown. She is a doll and super sweet! Please check out her TR, Dorkapalooza! In fact, I am going to steal some pictures from her TR in a minute!
I met YAK!! YAK has been my buddy from the early stages of Dissing! We discovered that we both have a child that suffers from the dreaded Peanut Allergy. She has bought us a ton of peanut free snacks for Lil Frick since Canada is ahead of the game when it comes to providing favorite foods that havent been anywhere near a nut, like granola bars, smarties (like M&Ms) and Kit Kats. She has done a lot for me and I appreciate it a ton P! Yak gave me a goody bag
which included a mini notebook and a pen so I could become an official TR reporter. Look YAK, I got the hint! Ive already told you ten times to read Yaks TR, so Ill make it eleven.
I met the most finer 89er KPK89! The Meanest Mother in the World!!! (go and find her TR too
it is great!!!) KPK is awesome!!!! She made me a bag tag for my backpack! (I love it K! I loved you too! ) What a sweetheart to go to the trouble of making a bag tag for me after I raved over the one she made for herself! Thanks K!
I met Haley!!! Hi Haley! Haley looked stunning in a black dress! She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside! Haley did a lot of planning for this whole sha-bang! She is a sweetie!
I met Drebert and Lacto!!! They have an awesome TR out there as well!! The BergBerts! Drebert looked great in her Maelstrom is a Fastpass shirt! It reminded me of why we were all there! That little phrase kept us coming back and giggling! It definitely is a fastpass! Lacto was easy to spot due to his lack of hair on top! He was such a good sport because we had always talked about rubbing his head for good luck. I must not have rubbed it good enough that night. Youll find out why I say that in a minute. Here we are giving it a good rub
Left to right in front we have Haley, Horsey, Lacto, Sher and Yak
Left to right in back is Ash, me, Grammy and Jamal.
Hey Grammy! Guess what! The red eye reduction was on! You could have opened your eyes! You too Horsey and Jamal!
I talked to some spouses and gabbed with the girls a bit before the party broke up. I asked Horsey what she was going to do and she said Im with you. Ill go out with you if you want! Sweet! I wasnt ready to go back. For me, the party had just started and I knew I wouldnt have much of a chance to really hang out with these sweet girls later in my trip. I said I was ready to hit the town and would gladly drive us wherever we wanted to go. Haley was in! Sher was in! Jamal tried to be in, but she was a bit under the weather and opted to go on back to her room. The plan was to go to Pleasure Island! We had heard it was packed, but we decided to go anyway because we were itching to hear some 80s tunes and plus I had never been to PI before!
We went to the valet station to retrieve my keys and get the second half of the party started. A sweet little CM guy was there by himself. He looked for my keys. Couldnt find them. I spelled my last name for him. Didnt help. They werent under the S section. I spelled my first name for him. Didnt help. They werent under the C section. Hmmm. He went through the whole alphabet. Didnt help. They werent there.
He was looking a little panicky because there was a small crowd of people needing their cars and he said Who parked your car. I told him an older gentleman and he said, Manny. He called for help. A girl from the Poly office came out to help him. He explained to her that he couldnt find my keys and she began to dig. She looked through every letter of the alphabet again. Nothing. Sher, Horsey, Haley and I were ready to roll and get our groove on. Standing there watching them go through every letter again was painful. I would walk away, Sher, Horsey or Haley would go and check the situation. I heard the office girl say Where is Manny? The valet CM said We dont know. Ugh. Now it was time to get a little concerned.
They asked me what my key chain looked like. I described it to them and then they started to open every envelope that had keys. I didnt want to stand there any longer. I think we had been there for about 15 minutes already and I asked the office girl if they would buy us a round of drinks while we waited. She said she would be glad to and she handed me $30. We went up to the Poly bar kind of laughing about the whole situation and kind of getting riled up about it as well. What if they never found my keys? We were leaving for the beach in two days. That is when I decided to shrug it off. If I got stuck at Disney while waiting on some keys, it wouldnt be too bad. Especially since I would be stuck at the Poly! We all ordered a drink as well as a round of shots. Yeah, this was a shot-worthy moment!

) and it costs $7. They park it, give you a little ticket and you pay when you leave. I did this at AKL and BW this same trip.
It was so great to finally meet you too! 
Later Yak was nice enough to speak to all valets about dear ole Manny 
You woman are FOF! FULL ON FUNNY! 
ANd this Fricky Frick was as patient, and gracious and cool about the whole things as anyone could be. She worked it to our advantage. I was impressed. We ordered Lapu Lapu's which are $15 Hawaiian wonders in real pineapples. We also decided on shots. We asked for the bartender's choice as Frick wasn't keen on my kamakazi suggestion. We were brought these elegant raspberry frothy treasures in stemmed shot glasses. They were spectacular. Who do you think was done first? Yep. FRICK! She has gusto! And a spice for life. No one I'd rather be stranded at the Poly with. Haley and Sher, too. We had a blast, even if we were missing valuable disco time at 8 Tracks at Pleasure Island. Sipping yummy drinks at the Poly bar laughing our patooties off was as good a time as one could ask for. Take life as it comes....

Since I had to get Grammy, Grampy, and Yak into a cab and back to Pop 
I'm glad you told everyone your story about your screen name! You are too cute!
