I had been tired and disoriented on my first day in WDW two years ago from having to leave the house to go to the airport at 3am, but when I met Mickey and hugged him, the feeling went away for awhile. Haunted Mansion brought it back, Pooh made it worse. Somehow, Stitch ended it.
The next day when I felt fine, I went to DHS and the cast members recognized my Captain Rex toy on Star Tours. I also said I wanted to go on RnRC, and did it. I wasn't scared until the loading area, so I put Rex in my pocket (the power of the Force was in my pocket) and somehow he didn't fall out during the ride. That, a black girl, and "Walk This Way" joined forces (no pun intended) to help me get through my first upside down coaster.
