I'm going to have to pay more attention in the COP next time. I never realized the narrator was the same one from Christmas Story.

Glad to see you back, Melissa! And I can assure you, you don't look pregnant! Maybe your Disney stomach was showing? Anyway, even in that loose top, you don't look preggers, so not sure what that CM was thinking. Oh, and congrats on your Masters! Definitely a reason to celebrate. And now after reading about your tea, I'm hungry! Can't wait for more!

You guys know how to get the most out of a Disney day!! Awesome scores on TSMM. What was the highest for the week?? Or is that in an upcoming post. What a great way to celebrate at GF Tea. Something, sadly, I can't see doing as my DH doesn't like tea...or cooked fruit...or scones

[dizzymom]

[bsblady01]

Day 4, Tuesday 4/14

We were headed back to DHS this morning for some more Insania. We knew there was a chance of rain today and it ended up being the only rainy day we had which was okay. We got ready and were at the park in line for opening. This is what I posted on my WordPress blog about that morning:
So the insania is just plain insane. The CMs actually line up, like leading the frontline into battle, to lead all the crazies to Toy Story. The look of panic on peoples’ faces as they run is just hilarious. Here’s a pic to show the stupid crazy line, and yes, we’re in it, but at least we walked here and didn’t act like insane fools.


The line wasn't as bad as it looked b/c again, it wasn't wrapped around inside. We just wanted to get up to the building before the bottom fell out. The skies were darkening and I was keeping an eye on the radar on the Weather Channel app on my iPhone. It was getting close. We FP'd as well before getting in line btw. Forgot to mention that.....

So anyway, we got in and took our spin around....and this time I WHOOPED Andy! And made the top 3 board! Granted it was just 30 minutes or so after opening but what can ya do? I'll take it!!




I flipped out, screamed and cheered of course.....I think this was the ride that some lady who thought she did all great with her 50,000 or so points asked what we got and I busted out with my 197,000!! She didn't have anything to say after that

We got out of Insania and I told Andy I had to hit the restroom so I went back to the one beside the Narnia thing while Andy waited near Insania. I didn't think he knew which bathroom I had gone to and when I came out the bottom had fallen out of the sky. It was thundering, lightening, and pouring. My first thought was CRAP...I've got my phone but he turned his off on purpose so work won't call him.....and he has the umbrella....and I'm stuck here at the bathroom BUT, I guess I was ye of little faith b/c within minutes Andy popped around the corner with the umbrella We stood under the cover of the bathroom area and waited it out. Apparently I attracted a crowd of "over the shoulder watchers" when I checked the radar again on my phone

Once it let up we hit the Commissary for a quick breakfast since we were hungry and we decided to wait out the drizzle that remained. We both had some danish pastries and watched the Lost clips on the TV in there.

After we ate it was still raining some so we popped the umbrella and trekked over to Animation and once we got in there it was pouring again. We walked back to where the Animation area is and on the way I was yapping about something to Andy not paying attention and he goes "Hey look who it is" and it was STITCH! ALL BY HIMSELF (well except his handler of course ) I again screamed and cheered LOL which caused the few folks in there to jump a little...... It was really only us, the characters (Stitch, Minnie, Donald, and Sorcerer Mickey, and their handlers.) It was a definite cool experience.


Since we were the only ones in there Andy decided to tell Stitch about my tattoo......

He was all happy "That's me" he was saying


Miss Minnie congratulated on my Masters (I was wearing my pin).....


And this pic was right after Donald stuck my whole head in his mouth I have a pic of that but it ain't pretty

And then lo and behold there was no line for Mickey!!!!! We've NEVER been in there when there wasn't a chaotic line...

We told him that, too!

After fun with the characters we headed through the area some more and this lady spotted me with my camera so she struck a pose which cracked me up!


We made our way over to the TOT in between showers. The rain let up long enough for us to stand in line.

When we came out we used our Toy Story FP really quick, alas my top score was gone After that we decided to head back before it poured again. We made it to the bus stop when the bottom fell out again. Andy laughed and took this pic with my iPhone...

He liked that I was standing in the only dry spot in the area

We watched folks get off the bus in the pouring rain, no umbrella, etc.....they knew it was raining c'mon.....and then within minutes they were back on the bus to go back Again I attracted attention with the radar on my phone

Back at the ASMo we grabbed a beer from the pool bar and some lunch from the foodcourt...

Looks like he was tired of me taking his pic....this was like the 4th one at the table

After we ate we headed back to the room and took a nap. The plan for the evening was dinner at Nine Dragons with the Bakers, if the stupid rain would hold off.........
