Day One, Part Two cont.
On Wednesday Dec. 12th around 4pm, my PoohBear (and her BF) had just left me with DISstrangers, in front of Primetime Cafe.
I was then approached by "DisneyFan63" - Jim. He scared me at first, because I didnt notice him, and he walked right up to me very fast, and started talking! Jim (while walking up to me), "Hi Glendamax, I bet you had NO idea who I was when I called you on your phone at the airport"! Me, trying not to look startled and dumb: "Yes, I did Jim, your number came up on my phone". From there, Jim talked non-stop, to me, the one who is always nervous around people and always trying to play it off!
Somewhere during our conversation, I was able to meet "Aubrie", and properly introduce myself to Colette. I was told that the guy who was missing was Rich
(yes, I didnt know who that was either, but pretended - he's "PennConn") So we waited around for Rich, and by the time he walked up, I'd found out his screen name.
Now, I know all of us has done this, made a picture of someone in our heads based on a person's screen name, and the content of their posts. Well I thought PennConn was a big man in his late 40's with a wife and kids. WRONG! Here comes this cool-looking dude in his late 30's about my height. At first site, I knew we would hit it off!
So now our Motley crew was assembled, all except Kat 3668. (If you weren't the one missing, let me know) Which leads me to another aside: why is it that phone calls are frequently missed in WDW? She called at least 4 times, and the call was either cut off, or went straight to Colette's voice mail. Her phone was ON and in her HAND and we still couldn't get her calls. Come to find out, she was outside of the restaurant after we went in, and couldnt find us.
As we were waiting for our table, (and wondering where Kat was), I looked around a bit. And sorry DISers I did not think to take pics! I was so mesmerized by the decor. It was just like being in someone's house in the 70's who never updated from the 50's! It was funny seeing the wooden spoon and fork on the wall! I SOOOO want to get a pair just to see people's reactions when they walk into my kitchen!
Our waitress was supposed to be our relative who is home from college for the holidays, and now thinks she is better than us because she is getting an EDUCATION. And she doesnt have to do anything for us, because she is getting an EDUCATION . . .
She threw the napkins at us, threw down the tableware and made us set the table ourselves, because she is getting an EDUCATION at COLLEGE, and does not have to do any of this! She even had a little girl at the next table serve us our drinks while she sat at another table talking to people! She had SOOOO much energy! I don't know how she could do that for an ENTIRE shift!
We all ended up ordering the fried chicken. It was just ok to me. But it was a LARGE portion! The mash potatoes and greens were GREAT!
When we left the restaurant and everyone was trying to check their messages, we found out once again, that the lost DISer called again! Rich (who revealed at dinner that he is Gay), called his Mother. While he was on the phone with her, I said, "Tell your Mother that we're going steady". He says, "Mom, Glenda and I are going steady, she's converted me . . . No Mom, I'm not going to tell her that, that isnt nice". Well of couse we all wanted to know what she said. Later Rich told us that his mother's response was "GREAT"!!!! HA!!!!! So after that, I declared that Rich was my boyfriend!
After dinner we headed to Fantasmic. I hadn't been in a few years, and was looking forward to it. We got there about 40mins early and it was packed! WE ended up sitting to the far left. I had to go to the bathroom SO BADLY, but was trying to be a bit calm since I knew we had to find seats first. When we found them, I was going to politely dip out and find the restroom, that was until Colette goes (at us finding the seats) "Good, I gotta go PEE"!!!!! We all just looked a bit shocked and then laughed! Cause she said it loud enough for other people to hear! :lmao: Little did she know, I probably had to go worse than she did!!!!
When we came back and was waiting for the show, I pulled out my glow-in-the-dark bracelets. I had enough for everyone! Whew! I guess everyone, no matter how old, still likes stuff that Glow!!!
The show was great of course! But it took us FOREVER to get out of there! The crowd was HUGE!
We then headed over to Osbourne Family Lights!!!!
