Continued......
On the way back I passed the Dawa bar. I saw a sign for this
Im 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 didnt 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 its something worse. Whatever if he feels so bad that he cant 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 .
Great.
I wanted to text back Are you freaking kidding me, but instead I answered OK Ill meet you at the front of the park.
Oh Brother. What a great day this was turning out to be.

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 Nicks 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 thats 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
Couldnt 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.
My mode of transporation
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.
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!

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!
Good call having bell services take you over or it would have been even longer!
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! 
) before I switched to flute. 
At least there is a bar there! 
It will be interesting to see if I can avoid buying more for the OKW/Vero portion since we skipped out on the 
Especially with the trip you had been having!!
