We were happy to leave the AK. The heat was killing us and we were sick of the crabby people. We were headed for MGM to watch Fantasmic. It was the third year Scuba Steve & I had come to Disney and still hadn't seen this 'must not be missed event'.
The more I read about it on the DIS, the worse I wanted to see it.
But as we got to the gate of MGM it started to sprinkle.
I told the crew that we probably wouldn't be seeing Fantasmic tonight.
"Afraid of getting wet?" Commando Nikki asked me.
No, I was still wearing soggy, heavy man panties. I'm afraid of what happens after it starts sprinkling in FLORIDA. This is the state that has those huge LIGHTNING storms.
We got to the turnstiles with Commando Nikki & Beatlebum sunburn slapping to see who would get the special room charge park ticket. Beatlebum won it that time.
The sprinkling turned to rain.
We walked down towards the Rock N Roll Rollercoaster. This was another new ride for us, and let me tell you NOW, I am so glad that they built this on inside for two reasons.
One: Even in the rain, you can ride it.
Two: You don't know what you are in for until you are ON the ride.
The crew and I walked right on. Commando Nikki was giddy with excitement, bouncing up & down and it was making Scuba Steve a nervous wreak. It can never be a GOOD thing if Commando Nikki is excited about a ride. There hasn't been a ride built that she wouldn't go on.
And Scuba Steve knew that.
Scuba Steve started to get sweaty. When we were in the first room and Steven Tyler was arranging our ride, Scuba Steve was hanging on to Em by the shoulders.
"Daddy, youre breaking my arm!" She said.
They opened the doors and we waited while everyone else went into the caged room for the line up. We hate all that bunching up with people and we don't want to break-up any families.
Scuba Steve was now hanging onto my arm and cutting off the circulation to my hand. "What does this ride do?"
Well, if I told him that the only thing I knew was it went up-side down, he would have divorced me on the spot. So I just smiled and said "This is my first ride on it."
That was TRUE. But it didn't make Scuba Steve feel any better. He was squeezing my arm harder .
We stepped into the caged part and saw for the first time how the limo takes off. Its hard to
describe it to someone who has never been on it, it takes off from zero to BLUR is the best way, I guess.
Beatlebum quickly said "I claim mom!" like there was something I could do to protect her from this ride.
They had to pry Scuba Steve off my arm. He and Em were going to be riding behind Beatlebum and me, and Commando Nikki headed straight for the front. Em looked at the CM and said "My daddy's scared, I gotta stay with him."
Scuba Steve is afraid of fish AND blurry cars but everything was going to be fine because the little boy was going to protect him.
I guess I was a little nervous too because when it came time to get into the car Beatlebum went in first then I sort of tripped in behind her. "MOM!" she yelled at me when I half landed on her.
The CM giggled and I wasn't sure if it was because of my graceful entry into the limo OR if my heavy man panties had popped out to say "Hiya!"
Anyway, we were all seated and prepared for take off. I took off my hat and stuck it under my leg because I was afraid it would fall off. It didn't but one of my pins DID and I couldn't lean foward to get it before take off.
I couldn't do anything before take off. We shot out of there with our lungs jammed into our backs and in the first loop Beatlebum yelled "Scuba Steves gonna KILL you!"
Not if this ride didn't first!
Just as we were headed for the corkscrew I heard Em scream "I want to do this again!" Thank you Em!
Because of the boy who loved chuck & dave and had a boyfriend who was a bit of a sap, I would NOT be getting a divorce.
If a six year old liked this ride Scuba Steve HAD to.
The pin from my hat was still on the floor when the limo stopped if that gives you any idea
on the G-forces of this ride that went upside-down three times.
The crew and I climbed out and I turned back to look at Scuba Steve. He had a funny plastic smile on his face. I asked him if he liked it and he said "Are you kidding me, I'm puckered at both ends."
I think he liked it.
When we walked out the door it was pouring. Lighting, thunder, the whole nine yards.
Nope, no Fantasmic tonight. Commando Nikki wanted to go on TOT. Scuba Steve HAD to go with her, because I do not find falling to be any fun, ever.
I took Beatlebum and Em back on RnR.
Then I met MY new boyfriend.
There was very few people in the park and we were strolling back on RnR (Rock ‘n Rollercoaster) like we owned it. The girls and I hanging back in the Steven Tyler room to let the other people in and there was this man who was riding alone.
He was an off-duty CM and my new 'boyfriend'. Em was not happy about him.
I failed to notice.
We were chatting about the parks and he was also talking to the other Cm's running the ride. He decided to ride with me while the girls rode together. It was because of him that I heard the music they are piping in right behind your head at full blast.
Who hears anything when your busy being 'puckered?'
We sang 'Love in an elevator' together. The ride came to an end and we got out and said our "See ya's"
Commando Nikki & Scuba Steve were not waiting at the exit for us, so we went on it again.
So did my new boyfriend.
We sang 'Rag Doll' (I think?) and again said our "see ya's."
Commando Nikki and Scuba Steve were still not there waiting at the exit.
Hey, I have an idea, why don't we do RnR AGAIN?
Sounded dandy to us, AND my new boyfriend.
When we walked back on Beatlebum wanted to ride with me. This would have left the child, who I really do love like my own, BUT she isn't, riding with a stranger. I explained to him that I knew he was a CM, but I thought it would be best if she stuck with someone she wasn't afraid to fart in front of.
He understood perfectly. Em DID NOT.
We rode one more time, we sang something and for the final time, said our "See ya's"
We decided to go to the exit of TOT to recover Scuba Steve & Commando Nikki. Em was doing a 'bowlegged' march with her hands clenched into fist.
Oh, poor little kid, the rash is back.
I stopped her to look at her legs and THATS when I noticed she was in tears.
"Oh, does it hurt a lot?" I asked her.
"NO! I don't want you to leave daddy!" she yelled at me in tears.
I froze and looked at Beatlebum who was just as surprised as I was. Why was I leaving daddy? Where was I going? Will there be ladies panties there?
"You sang songs with that man. He's your new boyfriend now." She told us.
"No, they are just both old and know all the words." Beatlebum told Em.
Uh, thanks for the help?
Beatlebum reassured Em that I wasn't going anywhere except to TOT exit to collect the rest of the crew, who at the time, was MIA.
"So it's okay to tell daddy you have a new boyfriend?" She asked.
"Wobin has a boyfriend, wobin has a boyfriend, wobin has a boyfriend...." she and Beatlebum sang, skipping and dancing in the rain to the exit of the TOT.
Scuba Steve was filled in on the whole story.
"Boxers or brief's?" He asked.
