POST SCRIPT
...as dictated by the Lady Ice...
I was informed that I had left out what my darling dear wife considered to be some of the more "humorous" moments from my version of the Trip Report, to which I said "well next time sit here with me as I do it and help me fill in the gaps woman!" After I picked my self up off the floor, she said "why not a little bit for me at the end?" So....
There was a lot of dancing this trip... Christy's Dad isn't known for his gracefullness, but for some reason, the man can dance! This occurred several times - in line for Pirates he began a jig and the entire family either followed suit or began singing modified lyrics to the song; before and after the Tiki Room he led us all on another dancing fit; at EPCOT while in line at the Character Connection as some grooved up salsa was playing; and at the pyramid in Mexico where Christy's Mom took the spotlight and showed us some moves.
Did I mention how soaked her brother, Dad & niece got on Kali River Rapids? So much so, that in the picture of their return, Dad - who had on a medium blue shirt before getting on - returned with dark blue shirt with only a few dry spots the size of a dime on him!
Faith really brought tears to Christy's eyes seeing her niece actually meet the character's for her first time! It was like magic!!
Faith was also quite a trooper, riding not only Kali River and Dinosaur (both of which she loved) but also Big Thunder Mountain, which she declared the "most awesome ride ever!" I managed to hold up and pivot the camera as we rode, so I caught Ty and Faith behind us and Mom and Dad in front of us - odd, everyone in that family screams like little girls on rollercoasters???
We found out the hard way that the camels spit on the Magic Carpets ride...
There was WAR during Buzz Lightyear!!! Since I knew I wasn't going to win no matter what, I snatched control of our vehicle to simply blast the rest of the family behind us (and videotape them in the process while Ty screamed and giggled like a girl!) This of course, angered miss competition... OUCH!!!! "More dictating and less ad-lib!!!"
Mom & Christy absolutely crying during the dinner in the castle.
Fruit cups when picked up from the food court in order to run out snack's on our dining plan can not and should not be left sitting unrefigerated for 2 days. After that time, you begin hearing strange noises at night and you're not sure what they are, until suddenly there is a loud popping explosion and we both jump out of bed to find fermented fruit sitting on top of the TV.
Disney's special Fairytale Champaign is more likely to induce nauseau, vomiting and slightly nighmarish dreams. Since we had so many off days there at the end, we decided to stay in and "celebrate" and looked for a bottle with the highest alcohol content. At first, the idea of spending $25 on a bottle of champaign just didn't feel right, but we did it, and upon opening it, we both agreed that the fermented fruit bowl smelled at least 10 times better than this stuff!!! But, having spent that much on it, it had to be consumed... even if we had to hold our noses and wince with each sip. As we drifted off to sleep, my stomach (normally made of cast iron) became ill & I spent a portion of the night encamped in the bathroom. Neither of us slept well that night... some fairytale!!!
Christy created a slightly risque poem as we visited the ride of the Evil Dollz on I think our 4th go around.... why this popped into her head, I'll never know, but she timed it so well all I could do was laugh until it hurt;
"I see London, I see France
I can see their underpants!" She considers this her payback for a certain song my band performs at our shows and placed on the CD... ooops, almost let the cat out of the bag on that... pretend (unless you've already heard it) that I didn't say anything....
BTW; Christy's Dad seemed to enjoy parts of iasw... in particular the part where the Dolls are yodeling. Since he was having so much fun yodeling with them, I began "answering" or creating an echo to everything he yodeled, which of course only further annoyed certain parties who already did not want to be on the ride in the first place (and anyone else within earshot!)
I may have briefly mentioned Vivian losing her phone in the Animal Kingdom. After contacting Disney's Lost and Found, they were given a number to keep contacting and asked to fill out a report describing in it as great detail as they could. Their main concern wasn't so much losing the phone itself, but since they hadn't brought a camera, all of the pictures they had taken up to that point on their camera. Even though we assured them we'd burn discs of everything we took & the Photopass pictures, it just wasn't the same as they had taken special pictures of their daughter on her first trip...
The night before they were supposed to leave, they called one last time to check and see if they could leave our names in case it was it was found so we could be allowed to pick it up... but it had already been found!!! And rather than try to make anyone come and get it, they mailed it to their home with a letter apologizing to them that their phone had been lost and hoping it didn't effect their vacation there. Go figure... somebody loses somthing, and Disney apologizes for it!!!!
We got free dessert at the Kona Cafe!!!! When we arrived, the waitress assigned us was waiting on a table that had what looked like 4 families with several special needs children and their siblings at it. Needless to say, there was some confusion upon getting their tickets taken care of and then the children wanting to thank the waitress and other staff each individually. This didn't bother us as we thought it was quite touching, but our waitress apologized over and over again. As we finished and ordered our pot of coffee at the end of our meal, we were informed that since we had been so patient and understanding, we could have any dessert we wanted for free. So go figure yet again!!!!
Well, that's we can think of right now.... we hope you all enjoyed this report as much as we enjoyed living it! Peace out y'all!!!!
