Our first park day was a blast! We enjoyed checking out Fantasyland for the first time since the big expansion. The Festival of Fantasy parade was in it's first week (?) and we thought it was outstanding. By the time it was over we were feeling pretty worn down and sticky so we walked back to the resort to relax and shower. As we headed back toward MK for BOG Dinner, DD1 calls.
Her "boyfriend," that I only recently learned about, broke up with her for the second time in a month. And she filled me in on the not-so-magical details. As all moms know, when your child's heart breaks, so does yours. I do my best to reassure her that there is, indeed, someone that's just right for her and tell her I'm looking forward to he joining us in 3 days! (Of course, I have the perfect guy in mind, but no one listens to me!)
By this time, we are magic banding our way back into MK as DD2 calls to tell us it's snowing like crazy at home. And she gives us this whole dramatic sob story meant to make us feel guilty. We don't feel sorry for her -even a tiny bit.
We enjoy the heck out of our meals at BOG. I had the pork, he had steak. I realized I was shoveling my food into my mouth like a farm hand. I'm not sure if I was super hungry after all the walking or if it was because it was so delicious but I hadn't eaten with this much enthusiasm since I was breast feeding.
Afterward, we were the first and only ones in line to get some pictures with beast and as we waited the photographer snapped some photos of us "messing with" Beast's stuff...sitting in his chair, peeking in his fireplace, etc.
Then he came out and the photog snitched on us and Beast pretended to be annoyed. Then we did photos and let me tell you I got an awkwardly long and tight hug from that Beast. Like...really a grab and a hug followed by a squeeze and possibly a slight beastly twerk. Man, I love that place!
After that, as if I wasn't excited enough, practically all the attractions in Famtasyland were walk-on. So since we had 3 more MK days planned we just hung out and rode and rode. And we barely felt bad at all that we had one kid with a broken heart and ditched the other two in a Midwest blizzard.
The next day, hubby had to go to the conference so I hung out around the resort, taking photos for my painting projects and watching the boats cruise by our room. I loved it. And I snapped many to text to my daughters.
I also took this little Fisher Price security bunny we had and placed him subtly around the room so he barely showed up in the photos. Our middle daughter had 2 of these as a child (correction: she still has AND loves them)and when we found one in eBay, we brought it along with us. We planned to use it to photobomb her all over WDW until she caught us. So, I kinda took some some flat Stanley style photos with him.
I met DH and DGS at the contempo cafe for lunch. We shared an awesome St Pat theme cupcake which I was thoroughly enjoying until, for some reason, the lemon/lime combo made me think of Lemon/lime Barbasol shave cream in the yellow can. That probably spared me 200 calories!
After the conference we went to DTD and then to Cali Grill for a special dinner for two. I envisioned it as romantic and special and what would end up being the highlight of the parents-only portion of the trip.
I don't want to get overly negative in the TR but it was not a good time. It was like karma was punishing me for feeling smug about missing out on the 6 inches of snow my kids had to deal with at home and on campus. Or, maybe, I just secretly wanted to go party with the Beast again.
Oh well. Tried it. Crossed it off the Disney Bucket Lust ...er...list. Bucket list.

a "beastly twerk"! That's just magical right there. You're in the elite group of something - I'll come up with it..
