Our first trip to the World Disney World was Thanksgiving, 2007. This is the 2nd time that we are here so we are just concentrating on what we liked last time. I used to love hopping on the roller coasters but now my old heart simply can't handle that kind of thrills the way it used to. The girls are a lot braver than I am, so I have been the object of constant teasing and mocking. I am just so happy that I get to live at the end of each baby ride... like the choo choo train.
Speaking of getting scared on the rides, I found out today that while I was "made" to stay on the "Rock N Roll" ride at MGM I simply could not scream like most people do when they are scared. It usually makes a person feel better when he/she releases some of the fear out by screaming, but for some reason I just could not do it and felt the ride was a near death experience. I actually was going to send the girls up there 1st and then take the "chicken" elevator down, but then a handicapped man rolled up in wheelchair so Claire mocked me in her usual sarcastic tone: "Mommy you can go down in THAT one".... well, let us just say that I endured a horribly sickening ride just for the sake of pride (or how can I preach "values" to these two little rascals later?).
Any way, I was surprised to see so many people at MGM today - the longest wait was 140 minutes! Last time we were here was Thanksgiving and we rarely waited more 20 minutes for the rides. I have learned two things today: 1) someone has been lying about the poor state of the economy & 2) I now know when NOT to visit Disney.
We had to cut our trip short because Caitey isn't feeling too well, or she is just acting up because she is mad at us leaving her behind. She got really sad the day I was packing (she does this whenever she sees me putting things in the suitcases), went upstairs and whimpered the whole morning, and refused to come down even for treats.
My friend who is babysitting Caitey said that she would not eat and threw up twice early this morning. She even pooed 3 times in their house - she hasn't done that since last Oct in our house. Last time Caitey was at their house was last Dec and there was no accident at all.
I have read it before that some dogs would fake being sick so their human family can't leave on trips, now I start to think perhaps the same thing is happening :-(.
