Chapter 19. Blast off! Again..and a little down time
So when I last left you dylan had conquered Test Track! and I had an unfortunate run in with leggings.....I'll spare you the picture recap....somewhere in the internet universe there is a collective sigh of relief..can you hear it? Can you?
Sunday, February 7th.
After our Test Track adventure, we had time to spare since Wendy had changed her ADR to an hour later. We decided to ride Mission: Space. Wendy loves this ride. In 08? she spent a few hours on her own and rode M: S 6? 7? times IN A ROW!!!!!! One order of scrambled brains coming right up!
That's what i call intestinal fortitude!
Wendy's mission was to get Kim to ride it. She avoided it in 08. She gets motion sickness. I don't know how Wendy persuaded her to do it, but she did and she convinced her she had to do the ORANGE SIDE. Wendy would make a good politician...
You could tell Kim was very apprehensive and those continual announcements saying to get out if you get motion sickness, etc. certainly didn't help.
We rode and Kim survived, although she did NOT feel good. I'm sure she was picturing wendy under a bus somewhere....
After M:S, we walked out making a quick pit stop so Allan and Kim could use the restrooms...they used the restrooms on the right as you're exiting Epcot under SSE. I forgot to get a rating, but they weren't commenting on it. So it must've been okay. Remember, this is the restroom that got a 4 the last time. Me in 08 in front of said restroom.
We headed for the monorail back to BLT. I was joining them because I was babysitting so the adults could go out for a nice dinner w/o the kids. Here's Ashie waiting patiently for the monorail...yes, it was still cold.
When we got on the monorail, there was some minor technical problem so it took a few extra minutes to get going. As we were sitting there, we noticed this guy standing at the door. He kept leaning out of the monorail looking to see what was going on. I don't know if you've ever seen a tweaker before, but this guy had that druggie kind of vibe. He was very creepy. He would repeat the monorail spiel, but not in a funny kinda way. Anyways he got off at the TTC...
oops hit submit by accident..more coming...
When we arrived at BLT, Wendy gave me a room key so I could get into BLT (remember it's like a fortress) and I hit Contempo Cafe for a CS meal. I ordered a hot roast beef sandwich open face, a cup of soup, a cookie and a drink.
The CMs were all very nice. The CM at the register was flirting with me I think...
It was a HE. I was flattered, but didn't flirt back.
I remembering wondering why it wasn't it wasn't busy in here...Duh Super Bowl was starting pretty soon.
I headed up to the room. Wendy ordered room service for the kids. The adults were soon on their way to the Grand Floridian Cafe for dinner. I was alone with the kids. I fed Ashlyn. She's generally a great and easy child. I had no issues this night. Room service came and delivered chicken nuggets. I thought there would be enough for them to share...UM....I took the lid off the plate and discovered 4 nuggets and 15 french fries. Jesus, where are you when I need you to multiply this food? Oh that's right...fish and loaves of bread..not nuggets and fries....my bad. We supplemented the meal with leftovers and maybe a cookie or 3...
As they were eating, I was trying to watch the Super Bowl as well. I was really into the game....go saints, but I love the Colts too. The game was really good! Oh.......yeah.....I'm supposed to be watching the kids too. Thankfully, no one was playing with knives.
The kids and I played this game where we all reacted to the "remote control", Dylan. If he said fast forward, we all started moving really fast. If he said slow motion we would all go realllly slow. He would say pause and we'd freeze. We did this for awhile and laughed alot. Erin and he would go back and forth...it was cool and a total uncle moment for me. It's one of those moments where I knew what it felt like to be a parent and the love you feel for your kids. then I had to discipline Erin for going into the room when I said many, many times that the bedrooms were off limits. Yeah, no parenting for me....
Okay, if you know me, you know I'm a clean freak. When it got close to the time for the adults to return, I started cleaning up.....call me OCD and I'd say "here"
Wendy and Kim came back right as the game was ending. They said Derek and Allan were at the Wave bar. I went down and had a beer with them, but headed out quickly because I was supposed to meet up with DJay, Cherie, Rosie, Cherie and family for MK evening EMH......

I will do better from now on, my friend! My dis-ing has been way too limited. Possibly because right now I'm not sure when, or if, I'll be back.
We are in Clermont!
I seriously think she thought she looked good! I sooooooo needed a camera. 
I guess they didn't want a repeat
"Abracadabra, Let 'er rip!"
