We took the Friendship Boat across to the Future World side cause Flat Shuggie needed to ride Soarin!
Phors doesn't ride Soarin and she needed to sit down and rest anyway so she found a comfortable spot at the exit to wait for us. We got in line and when we got up to the front we asked to sit in the first row. Kim had never seen it without stinky feet in her way and we just had to fix that! And despite Patrick's rules that we had to remove our Ears, they let us keep them on since we had them securely attached!
We met back up with Phors outside the ride and she told us about the interesting conversation she was evesdropping on. Apparently this man was very upset that he had paid so much for his vacation and had to stand in these long lines! I can't remember all the details so maybe can fill in more of them. But we decided that they had a point--so "Not MINE", was joined by "I spend a lot of money on this vacation". I mean how dare they make us stand in line behind those other people, because "I spent a lot of money on this vacation."
Why should I have to wait for a table at a restaurant?
"I spent a lot of money on this vacation!".
What do you mean they don't have that t-shirt in my size?
"I spent a lot of money on this vacation!"
Where is that bus?
"I spent a lot of money on this vacation!"
Taz and I both have Disney Visa Cards and Flat Shuggie HAD to see some characters so we decided to take advantage of the Visa Photo thing inside of Innovations. Darn if they didn't make us wait in line again! But it wasn't too bad and luck was with us when we got inside
The main mouse himself!
Along with Goofy.
(Taz takes GREAT photos, doesn't she!)
We introduced the Queen and explained the story
Goofy was a Shug hog! He wouldn't let Mickey hold on to her!
Mike, Kim, Mickey Mouse, Phors, lovetoscrap, Flat Shuggie, Goofy, Taz
Test Track was next but it was starting to rain again so Queen Shuggie was put away to keep her dry. No photos there. We wanted to ride the Clammobiles so off to Nemo. Besides we were going to try to teach the Seagulls to say "NOT MINE". Belive me we tried. Especially with all the little darlings (remember they are darling if they are not yours) climbing up on the rocks and trying to get into the Nemo and Seagull display areas. "NOT MINE"!
*Behind the Scenes of a Flat Shuggie Photo Shoot
After the ride Bruce was circling quite ominously and we thought she might be a gonner, but at the last minute my cell phone rang and we jerked her from the jaws of death and didn't have time to take a photo. It was NurseTink calling! She and I had been in contact to meet up for the last few hours and she was finally almost at the building. I stepped outside and she was coming down the walk. I think she recognized me immediately-- no idea why?
Fortunately she was a hugger so we didn't scare her off by hugging a total stranger. In fact she fit in great with our little group and off we went!
. . . . . to Figment. When we got off of Figment we were scurrying through that area at the end with all the "kid trap" stuff. You know what I mean! But we were stopped by the lady at the Kodak Picture Maker stand . Once she figured out that we were NOT getting married, she loved that we were there for a Girls Only get away and had brought our friend Flat Shuggie. She took numerous photos of our group with her camera and printed them out for us. Sorry my scanner isn't working right now but I will try to get them posted later. In all honesty the quality of them wasn't so great but she was a HOOT! You have to go and see her when you are there. And did learn something very valuable. All photos printed on the Picture Maker are Waterproof. This was something that could come in very handy later when the drinks start flowing!
She was eager to pose for photos with Flat Shuggie and let Shug help her out with the camera.
There was some brief shOOOOOOOOOping in the Gift Shop, and Shuggie really wanted to meet Figment. Lucky for her we found him more her size!
After we left and were walking around we passed a young man speaking very animatedly with his family in Spanish. Phors has been saying she wants to relearn Spanish and this seemed like the perfect time to impress the group with my language skills. When we were a safe distance past I asked:
"Do you guys know what he was saying?"
"No. Do you?"
"Yep. He said "I paid a lot of money for this vacation". . ."

I hate fish! I told the others that didn't get the chicken what the problem was and they didn't seem to believe me. Why would chicken taste like fish? I have heard of fish tasting like chicken but not vice versa. Isn't everything supposed to taste like chicken? Taz came out of line with her potstickers and chicken and took a bite.
. It wasn't until later in the week that she realized that there were sinks in most all of the handicapped bathroom stalls so I was using those sinks and not the ones in the main area!
Tink and I made the way to the ECV rental area and parted ways. They had found a charger for my scooter and said it had been charging for about an hour. That was good news since I had to get all the way back across Epcot to the International Gateway and there was no way it would have made it without some more juice. I probably would have just had to take a cab. So off I go again praying I make it.

DD15 caught me looking at pictures and saw Phors in the stroller. She asked me if she really needed pushed out.......I said yes. She's a drunk.
