The White Tee Ordeal of 2004, More Dispersment of Cash, and a New Coif
or
A Fiance Who Doesn't Listen, Check-in (again) and Redneck Mullet Hair
Mis-Cast of Characters:
Me, 28, Professional Researcher, hates math, cold chicken pieces and waiting in long lines.
Kory, fiance, 28 - Asst Golf Course Superintendent, loves math, cheeseburgers (cuz he's smart enough not to order cold chicken pieces) and never waits in line when there's a beer stand nearby.
Let's do a little housekeeping before we join Allison and Kory on the most important trip of their lives.
Someone mentioned in the last thread that they wanted more pictures. Well I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that I totally just found $10 in the parking lot! Isn't that great? I was just walking the dog, not even looking when I saw it. You know I could really use the money because just the other day I spent way too much at the MAC counter. Can never have enough makeup, I say!
Anyway, the bad news is that a lot of my pictures didn't come out well. Turns out that just because people at Disney ask you to take pictures of them doesn't make you Ansel Adams.
I did find a mystery roll of film that might have Disney on it. So cross your fingers...I might have them back before the end of this day's trip report.
"We're glad you're heeeeere! Huh Haa!"
Do you still get that message from Mickey on your wakeup call? I really wouldn't know since I've learned from Kory that vacation + hangover = no Mickey wake-up for Ally.
Just what I wanted to do on my trip. Vacation Math.
I hopped out of bed about 8 am. Into the shower and put on my face. The entire human race, and some of the animal kingdom, thanks me. Today I'm feeling good...my stomach is a bit better, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I'm at Disney with my favorite guy. Could the day get any better?
For Kory, let's hope so. I think it was about 9:41 a.m. that I hear some moaning from the bed. 30 seconds later, Kory falls onto the floor.
This is just too good to ignore. "Hangover, party of 1. Your table is ready". He's not amused.
Hey honey, how about this Vacation Math problem. Get your butt out of bed + happy face = a fiance who won't tell your best friends that very secret drag queen story.
Today we have big plans! We're checking into the BCV where we will drop our luggage off with the bell-folks and then take a bus to the MK. That afternoon we're to take a breather back at the resort because later in the evening is MNSSHP and we have to get ready!
But first things first. Mickey and Minnie stopped by with some early birthday gifts for Kory. They bought him a pair of cargo shorts from the Gap.
Gosh, who knew Walt left them off property.
He was gonna wear them that day but he said he didn't have a shirt that would match the army-green color. Oh well, they tried.
We are out the door when I notice my handsome fiance. He is wearing an undershirt. Outside in public. Where people might see him. He assures me he'll change before we head for the parks.
Load up the car with our 47 bags and drive on over to the BC.
We pull in front of the BC. I just love this resort. I love the theming here and it's always pretty quiet. Except near Stormalong Bay.
Have I said that before?
Bellguy checks our luggage and Kory parks the car while I get in line to check in. He meets me a few minutes later still wearing his bright, white undershirt. And where's a hat?
Like a snotty tween, he says, "I'm gonna change in the room!"
Oh my, where have I gone wrong? For the ten-billionth time I remind him that our things are in BC Luggage Jail and we have to pay someone off to visit it.
Didn't I tell you I can't take him anywhere?
And just for the record, that white shirt would have looked just fine with the shorts Mickey brought you! Ungrateful!
Well, makes no matter now. After check-in, we decide to have a bit of breakfast over at the Riptide Lounge. Bagels for both, with a coke for him. By this time it's nearing 11 a.m. and I'm scared to go to the MK. It was early entry day, so I know it's gonna be packed. Even though I wanted his first park to be MK, I decide Epcot is closer and easier.
Walked to the turnstiles near the World Showcase. I always like how dead the WS is early in the morning. Since it's not quite open yet, we walk on through, but we check the menus of some of the F&WF kiosks as we pass them. Food is looking pretty good this year.
Our first stop is to get FPs for TT. I've asked that we skip MS until I'm feeling 100%. This is likely to be the only ride we will both do for the first time, so I want the full experience.
We walk over to the Living Seas and actually stay for the movie. It's pretty good, I like edumacation every once in a while. We take our time in the aquariam area. Don't you just love how Disney takes the opportunity to promote Finding Nemo around the clown fish tank?
That's branding I tell ya!
Still have time before our TT FPs so we make our way over to The Land. I know Kory will enjoy this because agriculture is his life. On the boat ride, we get to sit in the front and have a pretty good guide. Kory is fascinated by the hydroponics and how Disney eats the fish they raise.
We aren't 5 steps outside of The Land pavillion when Kory lights up a cigarette.
Hand on waist I scold, "You think this is Six Flags? You can't smoke anywhere you want! There are desginated smoking areas."
The look on his face was priceless and we have a good laugh. He puts out his 2-drag smoke and we go find a smokers area.
Finally its time for our FP. We experience the hots, the colds and the ouches. I've always enjoyed the ride, but not enough to buy the horrid picture of me. I know CMs print off the funniest pictures and put them in a drawer for when they are bored. I am sure I have that honor now.
WS is open so we head that way. We run into Mexico for uno momento, but we're starved. We make a quick exit and stop at the cantina for some grub. Kory gets some chicken taco dish and I get some chips 'n salsa.
You've read the restaurant review, you know where we ate. If not, get out of my trip report. I'm the Trip Report Nazi, "NO TRIP REPORT FOR YOU!"
Mealstrom is next. It was a walk-on so I didn't get to peruse the mural for the hidden mickey. I asked the CM who loaded us into the boat where it was and he said I had to look for it.
Gee, thanks.
The vikings were scary and we almost didn't make it, but we pulled through. Back on dry land, we discussed skipping the movie. I've never once seen it so we decided to stay. I liked it...makes you want to visit Norway.
But can I just say this Southern Belle is glad she doesn't live there! I'll take bikinis and flip-flops over ski-masks and 40 layers of clothing anyday.
Back outside and oh my! Have we made it to 3 o'clock and no beer yet? Should I take his temperature? Where's the first-aid station? While he's without beer in hand, I take this opportunity for a photo in Italy.
Here's my Knight in Shining brightwhiteundershirt. Tsk, tsk.
We cruise on over to Japan, where I think a Kaki-gori shaved ice is just what I need. I got behind 4 people and relaxed in the shaded area. Little did I know...
This line took so long I thought I might miss my own wedding.
This line took so long Kory went for a beer in Germany, came back, finished it, went to the bathroom, came back and then got another beer in America, came back and stood to the side and laughed at me.
This line took so long I made best-friends with the people around me. Some are now bridesmaids in the wedding.
This line took so long this really all happened last year and I just got back.
This line took so freaking long I wanted a shaved ice with vodka instead.
It turned out to be the longest line on property. Second longest, actually. That feel-good story to come later.
Well the shaved ice was good. I ate it on the way to the American Adventure - another attraction I had never seen. I just loved the singers in the lobby, probably the highlight of the attraction.
So we found good seats, fought back sleep and cried at the video montage. Such babies.
Head back out into the WS, Kory stops for a cigarette. In the designated spot this time. He's learning.
Grab a mimosa in France...I wonder if the French think we Americans sure know how to ruin a nice champagne. Can't do anything right, huh?
Decide it's time to see some more of FW, so we walk that way. Take a 10 cent tour of Canada...not really much to see there. I mention to him that a great steakhouse is downstairs that I want to try. We agree maybe later in the week.
In FW, we ride one of my favorites, Spaceship Earth. I loooooove Jeremy Irons (Did you ever see him in Lolita? *sigh*) and never really get tired of the attraction. It stopped like 5 times before we even got to the Greecian era, so this was not making a good impression on Kory. But after that, it was smooth sailing and he said he liked it.
Its about 4 in the p.m., so we think our room is probably ready by now. We head back out through FW into WS and Kory wants one last beer before his nap. Here we get so lucky...just as we are passing England, a show is starting, My Unfair Lady. We grab some concrete and make ourselves uncomfortable.
I love the humor in these shows and we laughed the entire time.
Rubbish!
We're leaving the park when the worst thing in the world happened.
We ran into some Princesses.
Before I could distract him with some more beer or a cheeseburger, he asks Snow White for her picture.
Damnit!
He also got one taken with Aurora, but it's so painful to look at, I refuse to post it.
Tears dried, we are back at the BC and our room is ready. I've stayed at the BC, but never the BCV. The layout is easy to maneuver and I'm pleased with our location. 5th floor, pretty close to the elevator. My request to face WS is granted, although we rarely took the time to enjoy our view.
The room was nice, but not as big as POFQ. I hoped that after a week in a smaller space we weren't ready to call the whole thing off.
The wedding, not the trip. I'll call off the marriage before the trip!
We relaxed in our room and Kory took a nap. While he slept, I got together my MNSSHP costume. After much debate and a visit to Goodwill, we decided to be rednecks. For us, it's not a huge stretch and half the clothing we needed was in our own closet.
Sad, but true.
We did buy him a nice mullet wig and he shaved his goatee into a mustache. Proper hair is the key to rednecking it
But we weren't just gonna dress up...I wanted to play the part. So after I frizzed my hair and put on too much purple eyeshadow, I asked Kory to give me a tattoo. And while he did, I filled him in.
Hi! My name is Ally and this is my huzban, Kury. We bin togetha four months. I have 6 kidz by 3 daddys. First I wuz mareed to Billy Bob fur 3 yearz and I gotz a boy and gurl by him, Billy Bob Jr and Billie Jean. Then he lef me for my best frien (that ho) so I started seein her boyfrien Hank Jr. Well we had 3 kidz, Hank Jr Jr, Hankina and Joe. Well, he gots back togetha wit my old best frien (that ho) and I started seein this new guy, Calvin. We had Calvina before we found out he wuz infertile. Whoops. He lef me and I met Kury just fur monthz ago at the truck stop where I wait tablez. He was the first one to leave me a tip more than a dolla.
So I got a tattoo on me that had a heart with the name Billy Bob, Hank Jr and Calvin crossed out and Kory's name at the bottom.
Kury gets his own tattoo of an "8", for his favorite race car driver.
Isn't it fun to dress up?
Grab the digital camera and tickets and off we go! Get to the bus stop and I see a lady in a witch's costume. Well, she had the hat, but then she had shiny, pom-pom green hair and some other crazy colors. So she's a witch on crack.
I make it a point to say, "At least we're not the only ones dressing up!"
Don't want people thinking country has come to town and is staying at the BC.
On the way to the MK, Kory learns some very troubling news. The is no beer at the MK.
He almost tossed himself off the bus in a suicidal protest. But since he's my ride home, I'm glad he chose life.
This is my first MNSSHP and the colors and decorations blew me away. The only bad part is that Kory didn't get to experience the real MK first, but it was neat nonetheless.
We headed down Main St, filling our candy bags along the way. We were hungry so we ended up at Pecos Bills. Cold, grilled chicken pieces + Allison = Yuck!
SM was down so we did a walk-on BTMRR. Lots of fun, but I hate that loud clicking at the beginning of the ride. Anyone else think its ridiculously loud?
Once off we get some more candy outside the ride and I indulge in a snickers. mmm. As I am chomping down, I see Shan (lenshanem) and her husband, Len. We stop and gab for a bit. She and I have written back and forth for the last few months and this was our first meeting.
Isn't she a cute Alice?
I'm not sure which one is madder.
We say our goodbyes and agree to look for each other the next night at PI. HM is packed because the first parade just ended, so we decide now's a good time to get our complimentary picture taken. Here we run into Disney Enemy #1...the guy that gets in line for his entire family, and then expects us to happily move aside so they can all break.
What's most annoying is that there wasn't even a big line. He should have just waited 30 seconds for them to park the stroller.
Anyway, after the picture, we walk on POC. I tell Kory that he should thank me for planning an off-peak trip because in peak times, the POC line can go all the way back to the door and run 6 people across.
Being a good Disney trip planner is really a thankless task.
After POC, its getting near time for the fireworks show. We watched the character show and about 15 minutes before the fireworks show, he runs to grab a water. He's got plenty of time.
35 minutes, a fireworks show and one pissed off redneck chick later, Kory comes back and said he's been in the water line the entire time. We totally missed watching the Wishes show together. To say I was bummed is an understatement.
But I brush off my white-trash attitude and we go off so he can smoke. We also get to watch the parade. I love villains so this is right up my alley.
After the parade, we head into Tomorrowland. He kicked my butt in Buzz; 32,000 to 24,000. We tooled around Tomorrowland in the Wedway People Mover (I prefer that name!) and rode Space Mt.
We found the mother of all candy spots on that back pathway from TL to TT. We almost filled up our bags there.
Rode Barnstormer about 6 times in a row. Then ran into Alice and her hubby again while we were exiting TT. Apparently they hadn't had enough and were making the candy rounds again.
Made our way back to Main St and enjoyed the night-time atmosphere. We were beat and it was time to head home.
Parks + beer + candy = two tired rednecks.
Up next...Day 3: How to watch a 3-year old pee in the bushes at the GF and keep from falling off the stool in laughter.
Oh I got that film developed. Seems we are pretty popular since the Unfair Lady actress wanted her picture with us.
More pictures off that roll to come.
P.S. If there are typos or other grammatical errors, too bad! It's a trip report, not a doctoral thesis.
