Day Seven in the Land of Warmth......Ich aß so viel Essen ich bin dabei, krank zu sein.

Ich aß so viel Essen ich bin dabei, krank zu sein.

For those of you not blessed with Nazi ancestry...."I ate so much food I'm going to be sick." We hit the park at opening....got some sweet ass parking, and revelled in the fact that there were not a whole lot of people there. It was very tolerable crowd wise. Of course, there was the yokel family in the crap-van who had to race up the inside lanes and cut us off to get in line to pay for parking. You know, you wouldn't want to end up 2 spaces further back from Disney...oh wait...that's right...you DID end up 2 spaces further back. Keep up the inbreeding program, it gets us the better parking spots. Gimp-tards.

We hit "Soarin" first - it's the best ride there (I think)....got the fast-passes as well so we could go back in an hour for round two. We hit another kids attraction in between (with some Imagination Dragon thing? I dunno....not my thing) and then went back to Soarin. With all the getting in line stuff you end up doing it takes up alot of time. We walked through the World Pavilions and saw Japan - where I found Mon-Chi-Chi! I looooove Mon-Chi-Chi! I had one as a kid and loved the hair off that damn thing.

I didn't buy the full size version but did talk hubby into a key-chain. So freakin' cute! We had noon reservations for the German Buffet and after watching the giant-ass Cuckoo-Clock in action we mosied on in and sat down to a lunch of hugmongous proportions. Das ist GUUT food ya!

We hit the American pavilion...which was kind of boring. Then the Canadian one...we watched the new movie they put together which is MUCH better than the old one. Martin Short narrates and it's pretty entertaining....and we saw our respective office buildings which was neat - seeing our city on the complete opposite side of North America. On the way out we had a look at the hockey jerseys and hubby of course was complaining about the lack of our city's team jersey. I was thankfully browsing elsewhere so I only got the tail end of the 'man high-fiving session' with the guy working there from the same city. Yeah, our team got kicked out of the playoffs round one and are now golfing in California, but hey! There's always next year! *Barf*

The sun was out (which, don't get me wrong is 'spank-my-monkey fantabulous') but sun on my already swollen sausage legs doesn't do a body good. The Ellen-Dinosaur ride thingy was closed yesterday so we thought we'd pop in and take son in since that's along his happy lines. Well, it went swimmingly. We got through the intro video, then the next intro video once we were in the ride seats, then around the corner to some dinosaurs. Then we stopped. And didn't go. And then we were told we would be escorted out of the ride area shortly and to please stay in our seats. Well, everyone was pretty quiet...watching the dinosaurs fighting, eating, etc. Then after about 5 minutes the cameras came out. And 15 minutes in people were getting itchingly close to swinging from the plastic vines. Finally....they emerged. The hidden Disney people we are not supposed to see. They took the people in wheelchairs first, then came back for us mobile folk. It was weird walking through a staged area...and out a secret Disney door into a secret Disney tunnel, leading to a secret Disney outside door. I've got some interesting photos I'll have to put up later. Mostly of hubby molesting plastic dinosaurs. Well, what did you think would happen if you let the public loose in there? Good things?

We were in search of a blue raspberry slushy after that. Nothing could be found on park grounds so we hit the first 7-Eleven we came to. And as luck would have it we found just the right kind...frothy, bubbly, smoooooth slushy. And it cost less than $16.95 for 4 of them! I'm starting to get the feeling that Disney is forking us over royally over there. Just a tiny little inkling at the back of my brain......
