NEVER say NEVERLAND Day 4: People People PEOPLE!!
Ok I have to say the Plaza is one of my favorite little places to eat. It's reasonable in terms of pricing for good food and has some great views too. Kids of course had to enjoy milkshakes:
Our server here was also lovely. We shared the bacon cheese fries which were okay...not enough for all 6 of us though.
I got a tuna sandwich which was delicious, and I think DD had some soup and the rest had burgers or sandwiches. It was all good as usual.
We finished and I decided our only plan would be to stake out a GOOD spot to watch Happily Ever After that evening. We walked around for a bit to determine just would be a good spot for us, and eventually we found one. The kids wandered off to do something...we told them to meet back later and we would direct them to our location once we had one.
Here we are with a few hundred+ of our friends.
Kids returned just after 8pm or so, and we killed some time by playing one of our favorite card games:
This helped pass the time until we had to stand, but MAN oh MAN this was just crazy. I can't tell you how many times people tried to penetrate our little circle to stand in front of us. We were actually right next to a wall, which seemed like a great idea. And then the show started...and some kid climbed on the trashcan in front of us. And then, somebody who I suspect was his MOTHER, climbed up ON the WALL and stood right in front of us...for most of the show. This started DH yelling at her...LOUDLY and OFTEN to get down...but she would not be deterred. Another adult in front of her also stood on the wall, blocking the view of other kids behind him. So crazy. Anyway we did see the show, mostly through the camera of rude woman standing on the wall, so I'm sure her video turned out great with my husband yelling at her constantly.
I try to think of it like this...for some people this may be their ONLY trip. Is it an excuse for them to be rude and inconsiderate? Not really but it's going to happen. We know we will be back and we can see this show again. So even though I really wanted my FIL to experience it this time we did our best.
The madness of people.
Once the show was over, I can't recall what we ended up doing. I feel like my daughter probably had more FPs for us. I know we at least ended up here, just the two of us again:
Since the park was closing at 11pm this night, I don't know what we accomplished. Clearly we were on our own again. I think we may have even gotten on BTMRR again as well.
Soon it was time to say goodbye. The trip was too short but I'm still glad we went. It was a nice little break from reality and I'm so thankful for my friend who was watching our puppy and sending me photos and videos DAILY of the fun she was having. It made it so much easier for us to just relax and enjoy our time together.
We returned back to Shades of Green where we would soon be packing up and saying goodbye to once again.
