Okay, writing this TR has helped me to learn something about myself over the last 8 months, and that is that I am no good at trying to juggle two TRs at once.
I hear you. I will never do that. One is plenty of work. Two? Fuhgetaboutit.
Get ready, because here comes my LAST solo trip day!
Woot!
I don't think I'd ever been to a park on a departure day before, actually.
I don't think I have either... for the same reasons you mentioned.
She said they bought organic everything for their first, sanitized everything, would have felt nervous bringing her on the bus with no car seats, etc., but now with her second one if she drops a soother on the floor they just wipe it on their shirts and carry on.
I used to say this same joke. Except I'd say I wiped it on my pants. Can't remember which comedian said that first.
It was a hoot! Equal parts hilarious and mildly disturbing.
Sheesh, you drop one baby on their head and everyone's upset. I don't know what the big deal is, it wasn't even my baby!
I got in line for a photopass photographer in front of the castle, and she was fabulous. Unlike some in past who had tried to shuffle me along since I was a solo traveller, she pulled out all the creativity she could muster, and really started to play!
Really glad you had fun with that.
Love this shot. You're too cute, Meghan!
This was supposed to be a princess pose because she thought my ears and hair reminded her of a certain mermaid.
Let me be the judge of that. After all... I am an expert.
(And you do.
)
(By this point, people in line behind me were laughing and cheering me on.)
Yay!
I see what you did there.
Spoiler alert: it was perfectly fine, but not worth the exorbitant price.
Hmm... Have an ADR there for May. Guess I'll see. Lunch, though. Not breakfast.
Such a great shot!
[Blurry] photos or it didn't happen...
Next, I rode the Little Mermaid ride, and I was incredibly frustrated that there were people in front of me in their clamshells taking flash photos, and they were just slightly too far away for me to yell at them...err...I mean to politely ask them to stop.
Grrr...
<flashes light in their faces> "Oh. Sorry. Does that bother you?"
Sadly, the only fireworks I'd be seeing today:
I think if you'd been closer to those people using flash, there might have been fireworks...
While I was in the neighbourhood it seemed like as good a time as any to pop in on my favourite mermaid in her grotto.
It's
always a good time to pop in.
I told her hello for
@pkondz, and it was the strangest thing! I could have sworn for a moment that she had this tiny horrified shudder-like microexpression cross her face. But I must have been mistaken, because in the next moment she was smiling and telling me to give him her regards.
Hey!
@pkondz, no doubt she's obviously still smitten with you.
Of course she is. What's not to love?
Only a little disappointed, I made my way over to my next FP at Haunted Mansion.
Yuss...
Like that shot!
I tried sitting on the right side of the vehicle in the Buzz ride to see if it impacted my score, and I didn't end up getting Galactic Hero status this time, so I resigned myself to giving N the benefit of the doubt from now on—he usually ends up on the right side of ride vehicles, and he usually scores lower here than I do.
So next time, put him on the right and kick his butt!
On my way out of the park, I drowned my sorrows in a raspberry frozen lemonade.
ooohhh… where does one find this concoction?
I want that.
The only thing that made getting on the bus easier was knowing that I'd be back in my favourite place with my favourite guy again in a matter of a few months.
That certainly helps, doesn't it?
I certainly wasn't in the best mood to be going home.
No one ever is, dear.
The only family member who wasn't standing, to be specific, was a little boy who might have been around 3.5 years old. He was sprawled out on the floor having a real doozy of a tantrum, screaming at the top of his lungs.
I love that. Entertaining.
(He looked an awful lot like this, really:
)
I struggled not to laugh at the precious and hilarious scene, as he hurled out what he must have felt were the ugliest insults he could muster: "I DON'T LIKE YOU!" he screamed at his parents with gusto, as if it were the most hateful thing in the world that could possibly be said. "I DON'T LIKE YOU! I DON'T LIKE MY FAMILY!"
You go, little guy!
N's family was always complaining about how we weren't putting in the effort to spend time with them and make them a priority.
pfftt… live your own lives.
Space alien cat!
Nice. You got the plus seat. I've tried on my last few flights but they've been sold out. Dang it.
This is my thrilled-to-fly face:
Yep. You look
exceptionally thrilled.
Thank you so much to all of my Dis-friends old and new for sticking with me and participating in my solo trip TR!
I'll see you all real soon!
And thanks so much for sharing with us!
