continued from the previous post.....
It wasn't too pricey and I thought it went really well with what I was wearing, maybe even better than the one I brought to wear with the dress.
I was glad the one I brought wasn't one that I had bought specifically for the trip, it was an older one that I thought went with the outfit, but not perfectly. So this was a win, win! I love souviees that you can use more than once or one's that don't scream it came from Disney World, when you wear it, it's then only special to you.
Mackie found some more bracelets that she wanted to pick out for a couple of friends back home. She had gotten one for herself when we were at the Poly the night before and found them again at this store. It's the one she has on in this picture....
Hope you can tell what it is. For some reason I could get this picture to zoom in for the shirt and save it, but for some reason I couldn't figure out how to zoom in on the bracelet and save that. <shaking head at self>
We ventured around a bit, watched a few characters interact with the crowds, rode a lot of rides before lunch, ate again at BOG, separated for a while from Maroo, rode more rides and did some shopping and then met up again with Maroo. and then I know we high tailed it out of there to the Poly.
Once we pulled up to the resort on the Monorail I told the gals I wanted to get a drink. So, I left them to get something yummy from the bar, while I was there I ended up meeting a lovely couple who both worked and met at Disney.
They said they've met and made a lot of wonderful friends over the years working there and loved having a chance to meet so many nice people.
We had a great time just chatting and drinking our drinks, I think I had a back scratcher (not too shabby) and thought I liked it better than the Lapu-lapu. That's right, I liked it better, not nearly as overly sweet, but certainly strong! I had another but couldn't tell you what it was.
After about an hour Mackie came and got me when Poolrat Pat showed up!!!
I managed to saunter over (after two drinks ***hiccup***) without tripping, to finally see Pat who I hadn't seen in a few years.
As I walking over to her she didn't even recognize me! That felt really good.
The last Pat and I had met she had seen me with all the weight still on. I think she didn't quiet know what to make of me. Well, in all honesty I think that's what most people are thinking when they meet me, but this was even more so!
We were supposed to have Dawn and little Meadow join us that evening but Dawn text and said she didn't think Meadow could make it through the night so they were going to bow out for the evening and go back to their room. No biggie I text her, it's better to take care of the little princess so their next day would be a good one.
As we wait for our table we all chatted, introduced and caught up and then we were called in to eat....
We had pretty good servers, very efficient, very quick but not much charm to speak of. The entertainment was interesting, hadn't heard or seen that before so this was something new. But the best part of our entertainment that evening was the guy who brought over our salad.
Just so you understand why this was so funny.....Pat has some food allergies and food sensitivities, something that seem to have come on in recent years and explained why she was dealing with a some health issues she had been having. Now that she was in the know she knew to inform the staff so she could be informed about what was in what so she could decide how much of what she could or couldn't have.
Of course when anyone working there hears there are sensitivities they all lump it all in the allergic category and try and keep Pat away from all of it, as did the salad guy.
He comes up to our table like a bat out of you know where, he actually startled me at first because of how quick he was, he was a small statured kind of guy, possibly Cuban, heavy accent, abruptly puts the salad bowl on the table and said enjoy the salad, looks at Pat and then abruptly swishes it away from her and says....."But not for you!"
Now mind you, with his heavy accent it just made the whole thing even more hilarious. Why? I couldn't tell you. We all look at one another and say the exact same thing as he did, word for word, and then we all bust out laughing!
I lied! I didn't take a couple of photos with my phone, but sadly not pictures that I wish I would have taken that evening. I blame it on the booze.
Our lovely Pat....
You can see Maroo's purple shirt in the picture, the only part of her I was allowed to get in pictures.
And my little fart blossom....
Not hunching over. The only other one I have is her sitting all hunched over, the stinker.
All in all we had a good time, shared some laughs, had a great dinner and then we all parted ways. I want to say Mackie and I went back to the park but I don't think we did. I think we went back to the room and had an early night, but because I don't have any pictures to prove it.....I have no flippin idea what we did that night!
I do know for sure the next day is Animal Kingdom day and I have lots of pictures to prove it.
And that's day 6!
Be blessed y'all.
