Discovery Cove gives you lunch for free. For $230. per person admission, I'm not convinced its free, but it is very, very good. In case you have lost track, I have, we are a group of nine. My crew of five, Brother's crew of three and scruffy. It's chow time.
We step into the commissary, and it is a huge buffet table that curves like a horseshoe. Always go left I remind my crew, that is what’s recommended on the Dis. Left is for Disney, Discovery Cove wants you to go right. We started out on the left, them some lady announced that is was empty over on the right, and our crews began to stampede that way. Pushing each other, swinging trays, skin-to-skin contact.
Didn't see that coming did ya, lady?
"Ever feed these people?" Brother asked me while we stood back at a safe distance, watching them. Not if I can help it, I have Pizza Hut on speed dial.
Brother joined back up with his wife, I joined my crew. Commando Nikki, Beatlebum and Em all had a main course and two desserts.
"The lady said a main course and two sides, and desserts are sides." Beatlebum told me. Fine, whatever, your on vacation, have at it.
We walked out to find a place to sit. Waldo already had a table and was trying to get us to sit down. It was a table for four people, I don't know how he thought nine of us would fit. Brother, his wife, scruffy and waldo all unloaded their trays and sat down. Dh said No way, and found us a table for five.
Waaaaay over there, around the corner, away from Brother's crew.
Dh felt badly for abandoning Brother, but he had enough of Brother's wife.
We unload our trays, sit down and begin to enjoy our meals, and around the corner comes Brother and his crew.
Carrying their food in their hands. Where are the trays?
Why are YOU people smiling?
The sit at the table right next to us, Waldo tried to drag it closer but DH piped up and told him that it wouldn't be necessary. Brother and his wife were both smiling. It was the first time I had seen that, and it was freaking me out some. I looked at Brother, who is still grinning and he winks at me.
Hummm, something’s up.
Dh then knocks over Ems drink into her lap. Not wanting to be outdone, Waldo knocks over his drink into Brother's wife’s lap. They really were both accidents, but it was funny that Brother & I each had someone at our table screaming about getting wet.
Uh, didn't you both just get out of the water, and aren't you both wearing wetsuits?
A very nice man came right over to clean up our messes and Brother proudly explained to him that we conducted underwater durability tests and he would be happy to know that the tables both passed.
The man was not amused.
Beatlebum and Commando Nikki decided it would be funny to bet Brother he wouldn't eat a spoonful of Guacamole. (The green stuff, not a squashed up duck).
Brother looked at the spoon and acted like he was afraid. He told him if did do it, they would have to stand up in front of everybody and sing "I'm a little teapot" (there was a table of cute boys, right over there) and if he didn't do it, he would get up and sing.
Gee, this would be a good time to have a whistle, wouldn't it?
I tried to warn them, I really did. Do they think I just met Brother?
So they lost and per agreement with Brother, I am displaying for my 55,000 closest Dis friends the photo I took. Can you see that Em is they only one enjoying this? The cute boys are behind the man walking.
How do you like me now? Love ya, mean it.
So, we continue to eat, Brother & his wife continue to smile and I can't take anymore.
"Brother, can I have a word with you behind my hand please?"
We lean over and I asked Brother what all the smiling was about.
"She asked me for a divorce" He tells me.
Hooray!
