Well guys, let's get this Tuesday finished up here, shall we?
I left you with the Freaky Foursome hanging out on Main Street at Magic Kingdom. They have dinner reservations at 50's Prime Time at the park we were at yesterday. I don't know about you guys but it sounds like Faith didn't plan her days very well. Anway, the 3 followers look at Faith for guidance on how to get from Point A to Point B. She says "follow me" and off they go.
She decides that the most fun way will be to take the monorail from Magic Kingdom to Epcot, walk through Epcot and then take the boat to Hollywood Studios. They have some time to kill so it's now an official plan. She also wants to give Mike and Vik a chance to see the monorail resorts as they will not be returning to Magic Kingdom on this trip.
Here they are on the monorail:
I also got to take a few peeks myself:
That's the Grand Floridian. Faith and Mo stayed there on their very first trip together. They stayed in the big main building and still talk about it.
They get over to Epcot and of course, have to take a picture in front of that big ball which is even more weird than the big hat at Hollywood Studios.
And who should appear to surprise everyone, Tinkerbell!
Of course I have to get into the action myself:
Even though Mike and Vikki have commented for 2 days how bad their feet hurt, Faith makes them walk all the way through Epcot. When they get to the bridge in that World Showcase, Faith says "oh we have a few minutes" and heads over to:
Look at her hair again. She should have spent some time doing damage control instead of drinking. It's freezing outside, nobody else wanted a drink, Faith has said all day that she is cold. Still, she has to buy a frozen drink.
As soon as she gets the drink in hand, she tells the rest of them they need to get going or they'll be late. They get to the exit and the lady working the turnstiles tells Faith she can't come through with that drink. So as everyone waits for Faith to drink that Slushie, they watch the boat to Hollywood Studios leave. Uh-oh. It will 20 minutes before the next boat.
Let me just say that the only restaurant Vik selected for this trip was 50's. All other choices were Faith's. Nobody is saying much but the rest of them are thinking that it's Faith's fault if they miss this dinner. And they are hungry. Possibly getting mean too. By the time that next boat arrives, it's obvious that they will be more than 15 minutes late for their reservation. Vik is almost in tears. So Faith convinces Mo that when the boat docks, he should run to see if they will hold the reservation. Now, if you recall from the last installment, Mo had to start this day running because of Faith. Looks like he's going to end it running too. I do not understand why he stays married to her. Maybe he likes her hair.
So Mo runs. Faith herds Vik and Mike on aching feet. This place is packed so they got lucky. This is not one of Mo's favorite places but Vik is so excited to be here. Things got better for Faith when a woman comes up and notices Faith's green Mickey head and introduces herself as Goofy4Tink, a moderator on the Transportation Boards. I have no idea what that means but she and Faith talk in some kind of foreign language that the rest of the group does not understand.
They are very excited to get seated:
Faith orders a drink with a lighted ice cube. She seems excited by that. I don't know why as they can be purchased at our local grocery store. Whatever blows her skirt up though. When she isn't looking, I help myself to some of that Picnic Punch.
I was just going to sit on that piece of orange and take a sip now and then, but before I know it, I've gone and drank the entire thing.
Now, I'm not feeling so well. The rest of the group chats with the party at the next table (who are from Texas) while they wait for their food. As soon as the food arrives, I jump over to get a bite to absorb some of that punch.
Everyone has the chicken, except for Mo, who has meatloaf. Faith only eats one piece of chicken but ate all of the collard greens because she loves them. Plus she wants dessert and I guess you have to eat all your vegetables here. I do not think it mattered because the waitress was not into playacting at all. Faith comments that they never get a fun waitress here.
Well, everyone orders dessert. Faith and Mo split a smores and I couldn't resist:
Boy oh boy, were those good. My feet were stuck in that marshmellow pretty good. Faith can keep her fancy creme brulees; I'd take that dessert again every time.
Faith decides that she wants another ice cube in a different color. So before they can leave, Mo orders another punch in a go-cup that they are going to share. This way Faith has a red ice cube and a blue ice cube. Don't they look cute sharing that drink?
I stay completely out of this one. I'd had plenty.
That night, Hollywood Studios had something called EMH. I think it stands for Extra Money Hour. You can stay late and do more shopping so Disney can get more of your money. They decide to stay for awhile and get some ugly plastic bracelets. Mo and Mike want to go back to the condo because it's now dark and freezing outside. However, Faith has not gotten that Tower of Terror picture yet and it's the last chance. Mike and Mo find a bench to wait. They are not riding. And Mo asks Faith to please hurry because it's so cold.
Faith and Vik head to the tower and it's empty. They walk right on and drop. Faith doesn't like the picture. So they go again. And again. And again. Faith wants Vik to get comfortable enough to raise her arms for the photo but Vik is too scared. Finally, a 7 year old boy named Ryan shames Vik into doing it. He is riding with his mom and he's begging everyone on the ride to raise their arms. Vik manages to do it and Faith is happy with the pic and buys it. They have to wait on the pic but since the place is empty, it does not take long.
They rode 7 times straight to get that picture. And I have to point out that Faith didn't want their jackets showing in the picture so they had to ride without wearing them. It was dang cold in that elevator shaft, especially when those doors opened and that cold air blasted them. Also, Faith didn't like her lanyard floating around so she kept tucking it into the seatbelt so I'm suffocating each time.
After these 7 drops, they return to the bench to find the guys sitting there shivering. Faith calmly lies and tells them sorry for the wait but the line was pretty bad. She does not show them the photo because they would have noticed that the car was half empty.
Sorry I can't post the picture but I do not know how to upload a scanned picture. You'll just have to trust me that Faith and Vik look great in it.
So this ends Day 2 and the group heads back to the condo.
Next up: Animal Kingdom and Vik shows her true colors. And what will be the next lie out of Faith's mouth?
That will teach her to pack the morning of the trip. :

Fake cherries in fake glasses. Please don't tell me they used a fake Tink as well.
