Today Molly and I had quite the Disney experience. Rather than give you a complete narrative of our entire day, we decided to hit the highlights:
1. The pimple-popping demonstration held in front of the Mickey show at the Magic Kingdom. The performers were a man performing this stunt on his lady who was in a wheelchair. We can only hope to have that kind of loved one in our family. The pimple poppee, that is.
2. The "aha" moment when I was upset because my 3-D glasses were not working in Toy Story Mania, thus preventing me from attaining a high score. I removed them to ask Molly what was wrong with them (or me), only to discover that I had on my sunglasses.
3. Walking past what we believe was a taping of a family who will be on a future episode of "Extreme Makeover Home Edition." We think it was this scenario because they were all posed just like the families on the show who are sent to Disney World while Ty tears their house down. They were all looking at a laptop. We didn't venture over to verify this, so we will leave the story as is.
4. My order of what I hoped would be a mocha frappachino. When I got it, it turned out to be a coffee/milk/whatever concoction poured over ice. I'm sure you coffee enthusiasts would call it something. I don't care - it was yucky. Molly liked it and drank it. Figures.
5. Our mouths were ready for a yummy filled pretzel at Min and Bill's Dockside Diner, only to get there and discover a total menu change. No pretzels for us. All we had at that point was some milky coffee over ice. Blech.
6. We decided to purchase some new Disney collectible doodads. Don't even ask me what they are - I don't know, but they look like little Mickeys. But you don't know which one you have until you buy it. Which of course we did. The cast member dude cast a spell over them so we will get the ones we want. Which we won't know until tomorrow, since we had them sent to our room.
7. But we didn't get them sent to our room when we bought them. Instead, we had them in a sack and went to the next store in search of new Disney crap. We found some popsicle maker things and bought them and asked Peter from London if he would ship our first purchase along with this purchase to our room. After carefully studying our sales receipt, he said okay, and proceeded to ring up our purchase, then ring up some more transactions to further the process of shipping our stuff. Then the machine acted up and Peter led a seminar on modern technology. He then had to manually fill out the form. He asked for our room number, which we really weren't sure of. So, tomorrow we fully expect a sack of tshirts and Mickey ears to be sent to us at Room 12 at Pop Century (we are at Wilderness Lodge). Meanwhile, our real stuff will probably be put back into inventory.
8. We got to the Magic Kingdom in time to watch the aforementioned Mickey show in front of Cinderella's Castle. I dragged Molly there to verify that Mickey's mouth moves as he sings. We noticed that not only Mickey's, but Minnie's, Goofy's, and Donald's mouths move also. Molly was traumatized, only to be drawn out of her shock by the pimple-squeezing sideshow.
9. We ended the day at Epcot because I was invited to attend a Mickey Moms Illuminations Dessert thingy. The details of what and why are unimportant. Molly and I were expecting a spread of dainty dessert-lets. Instead, the mob was treated to soft drinks, packaged popcorn and pretzels, cookies and rice krispie treats, and Mickey Bars and popsicles. We bagged some of it and decided to go back to the room - just before the lady sitting on the floor next to Molly decided to breast-feed her baby. And even though that breast-fed baby could have been her 23 years ago, Molly does not appreciate what she calls "a baby doing a keg stand."
So, now we are back in the room, ready to call it a day. We are going to attempt to perform some sort of boot-camp tomorrow since we will be missing it in Nashville. Hmmm - wonder if hoisting Mickey bars will count!!
