Day 2 Dec. 16th afternoon.

We boarded the boat back to the Wilderness Lodge.We were both pretty quiet on the ride back, partly to relax and partly to reflect on the morning.Once back to the dock we were both pretty subdued.We headed up to our room and were joined by one of the bellmen with luggage. My DH said hello and asked him How he was.The bellman replied, ''Well, Im a
little hungry, a little tired and I would rather be at home watching football than here.There's 3 games on right now that I could be watching.'', Stunned by his response, I mean, Am I really paying $600 a day to hear that he doesnt wan't to be at work? I understand that people have hard
days, but when you work at a resort, especially a deluxe resort, you fakeit! If he really didnt want to be there, then I am sure somebody else would love to have his job,especially being able to be at Disney World everyday!! We exited the elevator and I turned around and told him that all his teams would loose! I know,childish, but I just couldnt help it!

Got to our room, changed sneaks, grabbed light jackets and were on our way to the bus to MGM. We boarded the bus waiting to be whisked away to the park. I dont think I have ever gotten so nautious in a vehicle.The bus driver was on the gas, off the gas, on the gas, off the gas, herking and jerking the whole way.It was like being in a car with someone who doesnt know how to drive a standard. I really thought i was going to toss my cookies. We arrive at MGM safely,but queasy.
We head to security, I go with DH with backpack,and me with my little wristlet.I open my teeny little wristlet and the security guy laughs at me and jokingly says,''Get outta here''. We all laugh. The only reason I showed him my wristlet was because MK security did, um,okay, I am
sensing some procedure and communication issues within the security department.
We head over to ToT, I decide not to ride being so nautious from the bus ride.DH fast passed it and we went over to RRC and used my key to fast pass that as well for DH.
While we await DHs rides, we do some shopping and people watching.I notice a lot of grumpy people,lots of family fights, I tried to just turn every one else off.We sat on a bench and I put my head on DHs shoulder and let the warm Florida sun warm me. We sat there for a good half an
hour.I became so relaxed that I actually almost fell asleep,in the middle of so much commotion.Pretty cool, huh?This is one of my favorite memories on this trip.
We head back to T.O.T ,DH rides and emerges 15 minutes later from the exit.He looks like a kid thats been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so cute! Now on to RRC. DH rides, I shop and make a great
purchase.
I went outside and sat on the wall directly opposite from the exit door of the store. About 10 feet away from me is a Dad who is yelling at his 3 y.o. son for not saying please so he took his teddy bear away. The Mom came out and they started to politely argue, then the Dad got on the phone, ignoring the family.The Mom was explaining to
the little boy why Daddy did what he did, over and over and over and over.
Oh, I almost forgot that they had alittle girl with them too.I think they forgot too.She was about 4 and a half.She was on the wall, climbing in the trees ,not being watched. I asked the little girl to please be careful, I didnt want her to get hurt. The wall was about 3 feet from the ground
and she was playing ,''balance beam''.
My Dh came out of RRC saying, ''Do another one Bob!'', Too funny. He sat down with me and I showed
him my awesome purchase. I bought a seatbelt belt for my 11 y.o DD, she loves it!
While we were chatting, the little girl was getting closer to the edge of the wall and now almost running. I just knew it was going to happen. Her Dad still on the phone, her Mom still explaining to the 3 y.o. Her little foot slipped, I yelled, DH jumped across me to try to catch her, but she was just too far away. She smashed to the ground buckling and snapping her little arm,her Dad finally says,'' Oh ####, gotta go'', hangs up the phone and picks her up. The Mom says,'' What were you doing'', The parents start to argue about why each of them werent watching her,
little girl screaming in pain. They had no idea what had happened! I went over to them and interrupted, I said,'' She fell and I watched her little arm buckle and heard it snap.'' The mom says, '' So she didnt hit her head?'' ,
like, if she didnt hit her head she was fine?????? HELLO!!!!! I said, '' No,
the brunt of the fall was taken by her arm, its broken, take her to the hospital and have her checked out!'' At that point I had to walk away because I was ready to explode at them.
There is no doubt in my mind that her arm was broken, I just pray that they took care of it promptly, poor kid.
OMG, OMG, OMG, I spent the next 15 minutes venting!

Once I found my happy place again, we were off to H and V for a 4 pm seating . On our way there, we were walking on the sidewalk by Catalina Eddies and the DVC stand. There is a yellow cab that we started to walk
behind, I went through, but then, all of a sudden out of no where comes a woman with a double stroller and she runs down my DH, head on!!!! Dh throws himself onto the cab so as not to land on the womans kids, she swore at him and kept going!!!!!! Dh was in shock, my jaw was on the
sidewalk, what the heck is wrong with people?????OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!
Find my happy place, find my happy place, find my happy place.
We end up laughing because it was so crazy!!
We go to H and V. While waiting for our table I was speaking with a CM about the character meal they used to have and how much we missed it .She then informed me that they just got word that they will have another character meal starting in May 2006.They just arent clear on the
characters yet. Great news for H and V fans!!!
We were seated at 4:15.We had a great meal, and a fabulous CM waitress. We left H and V at 5:30 and headed over to the Backlot tour, they were closed, shoped a little instead. At 6:20 we had to hustle over to the Fantasmic theater. We sat down in the front behind a brother and
sister.They were about 10 and 12. They were very nice to each other. Fantasmic was awesome! We got wet!
Next, we headed over to Narnia.We get inside and theres this guy, about 40 and his girlfriend, about 35. Well he starts gropping herin front of all these families,OMG! We enter the wardrobe and he sits down and tries to pull her down too, (not a sitting situation,everyone else was
standing), he was trying to, well lets just say, get very serious with her.
Again, I am in shock,This is WDW, not a club, or even your hotel room,This was not a polite display of affection!!What the heck??? I was so thankful my kids werent with me right then.
After Narnia, we head back to the hotel.We have had enough for today.Its been rough. Oh and no one has told me to have a magical day .

... POUT, POUT.

Up next Day 3 at AK, MK and DD.....
