Will You Chill Out if I Sprinkle You With Pixie Dust? The End p136 *New TR Link* p138

Continued......

On the way back I passed the Dawa bar. I saw a sign for this……
I’m not gonna lie when I say I almost detoured right over to the bar. But I decided that it might be just a little too early for an adult beverage.

I love this view. Didn't have my regular camera out, so I took this with my phone

When I returned to Pizzafari, I decided to try to call Nick again. I had already tried once or twice. I wanted to see how he was feeling. When he didn’t pick up the phone for the third time in about 15 minutes my “mommy-noia” started to kick in. I remember thinking – Ok I know Nick has a cold, but what if it’s something worse. Whatever if he feels so bad that he can’t even answer the phone. What if…..

I decided I was going to leave and go check on Nick. I also realized that he probably needed lunch. At the time I figured I could head back into the park later in the afternoon.

Around the time I was making this decision, LJ and SIL came back. SIL headed right to the BR and LJ told us all how “awesome” EE was. He was one happy kid and I was thrilled he got to ride.

I told Denny I was leaving and I suggested that he take the troops to Dinosaur, ITTBAB, and Safari. There was nothing obvious that suggested anything was amiss.

When I hit the front of the park I got a text from Denny that said…..I think we are leaving. SIL is throwing up in the bushes…….:sick:

Great.:sad2:

I wanted to text back – Are you freaking kidding me, but instead I answered– OK – I’ll meet you at the front of the park.

Oh Brother. What a great day this was turning out to be. popcorn::

Fortunately, after about 5 minutes (probably just enough time to miss a bus) he texted back to say….SIL is OK. We are staying…..

All righty then. I headed for the bus stop. It was about 12 when I left the table at Pizzafari. It was 12:25 by the time a bus arrived. Somewhere during that time I reached Nick to tell him I was coming back to get him lunch.

Of course, I forgot about the bus stop at Blizzard Beach. DOH!
Then I had to sit through the endless bus stops in SSR – Grandstand, Carousel, Paddock, Congress Park, and then, FINALLY, the Springs.
I had been sitting so long at that point that I could barely walk across the street from my messed up plantar fascia. Fun Stuff.

Fortunately, there was little wait for Nick’s food. Once I had everything bagged to go I knew there was no way I was waiting for an internal bus. I headed to the main lobby and asked the greeter CM, “Please tell me the quickest way to walk back to the treehouse villas”.

He said, “Just have bell services take you over”

I said, “Really?” (But in my mind I was thinking – that’s for wimps)
However, when I hit the afternoon sun in full sherpa mode – backpack, camera, and lunch – I asked Bell Services how long I would have to wait for a ride over to the treehouses.

The reply – “No Wait at all”

Couldn’t turn that down. And I was literally back at the treehouse in 3 minutes. I thanked Mr CM about ten times and went inside to see that it was now 1:30pm.

Nick was up and watching soccer. What else?

I decided it was time for an adult beverage and a pool break, but I was greeted with this sign again at the treehouse pool.

:faint:

I guess it was off to the Grandstand pool again.

Up Next? Would I make it back to the AK today and thank goodness for a drama free evening!
 
Wow, your poor SIL :laughing: You did tell her about the drop & backwards part though and she still made the decision to ride, so nothing for you to feel bad about!

My kids love Pizzafari, I can take it or leave it, but I will admit that the a/c is really nice since AK tends to feel so hot and muggy all the time.

I can't believe it took you an hour and a half to get back to the room with Nick's lunch :eek: Good call having bell services take you over or it would have been even longer!
 
Oh my goodness. I do not wish throwing up on any one person, but I couldn't help but giggle as I read your story. Hope you didn't have to take any blame for this event!

I'm with you on Pizzafari. I've been known to get my own Yak-n-Yeti and walk over to Pizzafari to get my kids food and eat there! ;)
 

Everest made her sick? I really rarely hear of people getting sick from coasters. Wow. Poor thing. Maybe it was just because she had just eaten?
 
More great pictures of FOTLK, Mary Ellen. I have to admit that when I saw Cirque de Soliel in Vegas shortly after it came out that I fell asleep about 1/2 way through it. Now I will admit that it could be that it was like a 9:00 p.m. show and my best friend and I had walked from one end of the strip to the other and back and we had a cocktail in almost ever single casino along the way. ;)

I'm sorry your SIL lost her "cookies" after riding EE. I am afraid that is going to happen to me one of these times as I get a really upset stomach and hence I've given up the ride.

I actually had the pizza at Pizzafari in January with the girls and it wasn't too bad, but not something I'd eat all the time.

I'm glad you decided to go check on your boy. Us mommas always worry about our boys...no matter how old they get.
 
Alright so I was imagining that the cookie toss was a game. Was I off or what!? :lmao:

I love the FOTLK pics! I agree, similar mood to Cirque shows. I loved your little Cirque rave. I've seen three Cirque shows (La Nouba, Alegria and Dralion) and they're all phenomenal (although La Nouba is my favourite!)

Pizzafari. I like it there, you're right, the AC is good and there's some pretty scenery. Nothing spectacular, but then Disney pizza is Johnny's #1 favourite food so we tend to eat there often.

Yikes! I can't believe your SIL got so sick on EE! Although... it does go backwards. That can be a little rough on the tummy. It makes me a little nauseous if I'm either too hungry, or have just eaten so I guess I can understand it.

Up Next? Would I make it back to the AK today and thank goodness for a drama free evening!

YAY! So happy to read that!

I have been reading your updates on vacation but wasn't able to reply due to the SLOW Wifi at our beach house. I kept thinking that your brother has a WDW expert right in front of him and is not utilizing your expertise! It's reading like a great novel! I can't wait to get to the end to see if they enjoyed the trip and will they ever go back?
 
First of all I didn't realize I was in the company of so many fellow band geeks :thumbsup2 I also agree that the oboe is simply awesome, but I might be biased since I played it from elementary school all the way through college. I even marched with it for a year in marching band (can you imagine a marching oboe- what a train wreck! :rotfl2: ) before I switched to flute.

Ok, back to Disney- I'm sorry your SIL had such a negative reaction to EE, I've never heard of anyone getting sick on that coaster before. Its so smooth, I thought SM would be a much more likely candidate for bringing on motion sickness.

Too bad the treehouse pool was closed, and its no small hike to the grandstands! :headache: At least there is a bar there! :)
 
Love the Festival of the Lion King! I love the show and we hardly ever miss it. I must also say.....if you haven't seen Cirque du Soliel....save your money and GO! It's amazing!

Okay, back to the trip report. I am with Michelle, I don't wish throwing up on anybody but I, too, giggled inside but just a little bit.;)

My Mommynoia would have kicked in as well if Nick hadn't answered after the third attempt. Can't say that I blame you for deciding to head back and check on him.
 
Oh goodness! I have to say that I'm glad your SIL was able to pull it together & continue on in the park for the sake of the kids.

And that was so nice of bell services to give you a ride to the treehouse! :thumbsup2 I'm also glad you're son was okay when you got there. I would've done the same thing if my son didn't answer.

Glad to hear the upcoming evening is drama free. You deserve at least one drama free night. :rotfl:
 
That's pretty cool that your son uses your brother's old trombone. I love the trombone. It's a cool instrument and the trombone players in our band always look like they are having a blast.
.

Cool and economical! $15 dollars for a tuneup on the 30 year old instrument instead of monthly rent-to-own payments for who knows how long!
 


On the way back I passed the Dawa bar. I saw a sign for this……
I’m not gonna lie when I say I almost detoured right over to the bar. But I decided that it might be just a little too early for an adult beverage.

It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere!

The colors on your FotLK pictures are just brilliant! So beautiful!

Don't even talk to me about the large group lunch hijack! I think those were the low points of my class trip.

What a lot of turmoil in the morning/afternoon. Sorry to hear that your SIL got sick. But at least they stuck it out. I hope the rest of their stay at AK was better!

Note to SIL: I would skip Primevil Hurl- I mean Whirl, if I were you!

I love that you got a lift back to the treehouse! Who knew???

Can't wait to hear about your drama-free (and I'm guessing smaller group) night.

Had you known that the next few hours would bring, you might have changed your mind!

Isn't there a Sunrise Margarita? which is not to be confused with a Tequila Sunrise.

:rotfl:

Was he non responsive to texts as well. That is my big peeve with the kids...ANSWER me! Kendall is horrible, I foresee a nightmare of a pickup tomorrow as she won't answer either phone or text. Evan is inconsistent. On top of it one minute, MIA the next. Two days ago I went home for lunch just to confirm they were alive...

but given the cold and the need for food...I can see the noia kicking in even more than the noyance. :rotfl:

Great.:sad2:

What a roller coaster! Literally. Altogether EE right after eating might not have been a great idea for anyone. Unless SIL and LJ didn't eat?

Of course, I forgot about the bus stop at Blizzard Beach. DOH!
Then I had to sit through the endless bus stops in SSR – Grandstand, Carousel, Paddock, Congress Park, and then, FINALLY, the Springs.

The reply – “No Wait at all”

Couldn’t turn that down. And I was literally back at the treehouse in 3 minutes. I thanked Mr CM about ten times and went inside to see that it was now 1:30pm.

UGH! I swear that BB stop makes the bus take FOREVER from AK, even without an internal loop afterwards.

I decided it was time for an adult beverage and a pool break, but I was greeted with this sign again at the treehouse pool.

:faint:

I guess it was off to the Grandstand pool again.

Up Next? Would I make it back to the AK today and thank goodness for a drama free evening!

I hope you brought 2 beverages to the Grandstand! I am SO happy, I found my mug from our girls trip, it's in my carryon :banana: It will be interesting to see if I can avoid buying more for the OKW/Vero portion since we skipped out on the DDP till the end. We will get them then but of course could use them/need them more on the front end.

Not $14 each more though.
 
Well I'm finally caught up on your PTR! Your family is keeping me very interested :surfweb:

I HOPE my brother doesn't pull something like your SIL/nephew did just before the parade started. That's one of my fears about their first trip. My bro said he refuses to "wait for 45 minutes or an hour in one spot just for a parade or fireworks" what he doesn't realize is you pass the time by grabbing a snack, sitting on the curb and making friends with the people around you! :goodvibes
 
DH's uncle was a trombone player in Glenn Miller's orchestra. Didn't mean a whole lot to me when I was teen, but I wish now that I could have asked him about it. I love Glenn Miller, but in those days it was all about the British Invasion! Bob lays the alto sax & can play a guitar by ear. Me, well I'm tone deaf when it comes to that sort of thing.;)

The last time Bob rode EE, he felt queasy. I guess when one gets older one has a tendancy to be that way. He can't ride SM because of that. Glad your SIL was able to get back on the horse & enjoy the park!:yay:
 
I've laughed at myself all week, especially when people have asked me if I was in a fight. :rotfl2: What else can you do?
I still like my suggestion on Facebook for your "story" about what happened!!


When I hit the front of the park I got a text from Denny that said…..I think we are leaving. SIL is throwing up in the bushes…….:sick:
I was afraid it was this type of cookie toss but I was hoping for either Nick tossing cookies to you after too many Sugar Cane Mojitos or SIL holding BIL down while you took target practice with rock hard cookies! :lmao:
 
Oh no...I guess that was the end of roller coasters for SIL?? That doesn't sound very pleasant at all!

I'll admit, I DEFINITELY would have detoured for a mojito!!! :rolleyes1 Especially with the trip you had been having!!

Glad that Nick was feeling ok when you got back!! Too bad about the pool though :(
 
Great great great pictures of FOTLK...my favourite show on property! I could spend my entire day at AK watching that show over and over again, however, Shanleigh won't let me!:lmao:
:lmao:
Keeping my fingers crossed that you are not going to get the blame of the cookie toss.....popcorn::
