She came running down the motel road to say goodbye to SuzieQ. She drove off and IceKnyght, Litter and I made our way to DCA. There was a bit of a mix up on where we were to be and the Glitter's were in DL. We had C L E A R L Y stated the day before we'd spend the day in DCA due to the Gay Days being in DL on Saturday, did Litter listen? Noooooo! This turned out to be a really bizarre day. First off, Litter, IceKnyght and I were dressed identically. Black shirts, jeans and white tennis shoes. Too weird. I went and got IceKnyght and I hot and cold coffee mochas while they met up with Blacksheep Uncle. Litter had to run over to DL to catch up with her family. Mr. Glitter called and said DL was insane. He was stuck by Indy and they were unable to get to Main Street. The guys and I sat in the court by Margaret, the Sun Wheel waiting for my mom and aunt to arrive. After about 30 minutes my mom called to say, go ahead of them, they were at Mickey and friends and 4 trams have loaded and they are still not on. I told them maybe you should go get your FP's for Space and then come meet us in DCA. So, the three of us when to Tower of Terror. It was decorated kinda cool inside for Halloween. While on Terror my mom called to say they were now STILL in line to get in to DL, then she called to say, they got their FP's but it was going to be awhile because the FP line was at Pizza Port and the ride just shut down. Now, here comes my critique of the Halloween stuff. Disney really really over promoted what they were going to have in the parks. It was pretty minimal in my opinion compared to the way the AP newsletter and TV advertising campaign was leading us to believe. However, we all agreed that what they did do was quite elaborate. No expense was spared. So the general concensus amongst us is they must be planning to have it grow each year as Christmas did over the years. I loved loved loved the autumn colors in the park. It was beautiful and a nice change from the weird purples and blues mixed with gold of the 50th. We finally met up with my mom and Tia Berta and rode Monsters, Inc. Then, we caught up briefly with Litter and family. I think we went into Animation next. My mom, aunt and I saw Crush. LOL Crush got really off script when a cute 5 year old answered oddly to the whole bikini top question. It was hysterical. We were laughing so hard. After that I think is when the guys, my mom, aunt and I went to Golden Screams. We had to blow about 30 minutes before the 1pm show, so my mom, aunt and I stayed in one place. I did a Wendebird and slid down the wall to sit on the curb. IceKnyght said - you know you are never going to get up now. Yeah, um, ok Camera boy, just go take geeky pictures now thankyouverymuchIdidgetupwhenitwastimetogoinside. We got inside and the show started. Yaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn! Ok, this was basically LAME! The BEST part of the entire show was Blacksheep Uncle. He being the loney heart to scream for the Queen of Hearts. OMG, my mom got to laughing and that was it, we had the giggles at Blacksheep Uncle's WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHH scream. It was dumb, it was over and we were all kind of disappointed. The guys will have to help me cause I can't remember what we did next except exited to the High School Musical BLARING at us. Diverted towards the Route 66 shop for a few minutes, walked to the Wharf but the line was too long for food, so Blacksheep Uncle reminded us of the food stand open at the Farm, whatever you call it, area. Some got chicken strips, some got cheese sticks. We ate and moved on but where we moved onto I can't remember. LOL. I just know that at some point, we met up with the Glitters. My mom and aunt went to ride Soarin', I got FP's for all of us. My mom and aunt went to DL to ride Space. I walked around Condor Flats over to Redwood Creek, seen GrandmaGlitter scooting along in her 3rd scooter of the day and met up with the entire Glitter family. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I remember, the "men" went to ride Screamin'. DadGlitter played with the kids in the Redwood Creek trails while GrandmaGlitter and I had a nice visit. GrandmaGlitter headed back to her room. The rest of us, including my mom and aunt who came running back to DCA after Space in the madhouse decided to do Flik's Fair. As IceKnyght so astutely noticed the Fun in Flik's Fun Fair was missing. LMAO! Should have been a sign we heeded but not us, we forged ahead. We all rode the flying take out food containers. The KidGlitters asked me to ride in the Chinese take out containers, along with their Dad, who really needed their mother. The other adults were animal crackers I think. From there the Glitter kids and IceKnyght rode the "slo"mper cars. About then the friendofdd's arrived so we all rode Heimlick's. BoyGlitter asked to ride with me, so we got the front seats and we smelled all the smells and called out the next food as we rode. I decided that I wouldn't share my burping abilities like Heimlick with BoyGlitter being it was only our 3 or 4 date ride. Maybe next time. From there Mr. Glitter took the kids back to their room for their night with Grandma, while the rest of us headed for the Wharf to relax and hear the Maraichi Divas. IceKnyght and I got margaritas - thank you Cabana Boy. He was bummed that he didn't get ID'ed. Welcome to the club Japtain. This is one of the downfalls of hanging out with old broads. Somewhere in here I called at yelled at DisneyChica for not checking in. LOL - I was on a roll with this. She called back to say they were in narly traffic on the 57. They finally arrived around 7pm. We sat down and just chit chatted for oh several hours. LOL, like um from 5:30pm to 7:45pm. LOL. The Diva's were excellent and sang Happy Birthday to my Tia Berta. At 7:45pm, we headed over to see the storytelling at Tower of Terror. They had different lighting effects going on the tower, it was very cool. The storytelling was cool. The woman was I believe Miss Chris from the Christmas Round Up in DL. It was a bummer that the mikes were messed up as we were enjoying it. We were hungry so we decided to eat at the Tasty Pilot - LMAO!!!!! Someone else can explain this. We had a fun time laughing and eating. We said a long goodbye earlier to friendofdd and his wife where friendofdd basically let the cat out of the bag that he liked me more than Litter. I played it down acted very cool while she had a major meltdown. After dinner, Mr. Glitter caved and admitted he really needed some ESPN, so he split from the group and the rest of us idiots decided to go into DL right at the start of the fireworks. I think IceKnyght called this my sniveling and moaning session - huh?! Blacksheep Uncle comes up with the brilliant plan that we will go up to the train platform and just wait for the fireworks to end, then we can ride the train around to New Orleans Square and avoid the whole mess at the Hub. Yeah, right. I was just pointing out that he'd better be freakin' right cause my knees had to climb those stairs and DisneyChica is practically blind at night so it wasn't easy for her either. So we make our way **excusemeexcusemesorrypardonmeohsorryexcusemeexcuseme** up the stairs and we wait ALONG WITH 2000 other people with the same grand idea. After being smashed like sardines getting canned, IceKnyght decides to lead us like salmon going up stream in a river loaded with rocks and bears. Push shove push shove push shove we go. CM's yelling at us with the flashlights in our faces to get ON THE SIDEWALK NOW. IceKnyght decides to be a rebel without a cause and go against the crowd regardless of what the CM's say. I swear to god at one point the sea of people opened to just us facing atleast 100 strollers. The parents faces looked like the Night of the Living Dead. I thought we were going to die. It was then that we were entering Frontier Land and a hispanic female CM went full blown homegirl on this crazed bench jumper. Head boppping, flashlight waving she yelled " I KNOW YOU ARE NOT EVEN THINKING OF CLIMBING OVER THAT BENCH." We all fell out. Man, I couldn't blame her, it was insanely crowded, people acting stupid. When we got to Pirates and were starting up the incline toward the French Market it just came to a complete stop. I was starting to feel claustrapobic and there was another CM in a suit screaming and waving his arms frantically, come on come on, no stopping. FINALLY, we made it out of the crowd. What did we find? Every other living soul in park in line for the Haunted Mansion. The line went out the gates and into a maze of roped off poles. If I could have thrown myself on the ground and had a 2 year old meltdown I would have but I knew I couldn't get back up. The pain was now shooting down from my knee to my toes and my entire leg was numb. LOL! IceKnyght being a tad defensive about his his bright arse idea told us if we just go sit down till Fantasmic starts on the newly named "E-Ticket Bench" ride we'd be fine. So Disneychica feels her way over, I limp over and we all collapse on the bench. JustDuckee and Litter just fell to the ground and stayed there. We were in fine form cutting eachother down, sniveling and moaning, arguing in our unique style till 10:30 when Fantasmic started. Old what's his face said it was time to get up. So we did. I think it was then that Brother Doom aka Blacksheep Uncle reminded us that probably half way through the 40 minute way we were about to endure, Fantasmic would end and all the people holding FP's would line up and make us wait. Some how I didn't find this quite as hilarious as the rest of the group. All I'm gonna say is thank god for the brick planters in the middle of the line. We finally get inside the House when Litter turns into a combo of Mike Singletary and Ronnie Lott. Plowing down this woman who shouldered her and the girls. This carried over into the Pirates line also. The ride was funky. We crawled through Madame Leota's room, it felt really bright inside, the soundtrack was off, it was weird. I almost killed myself on the rolling floor when it hit the escalator as I was surprise surprise talking. LOL! We got in another long line to ride Pirates. My mom called and said they were leaving the blankity blank park cause it was to blankity blank blanking crowded. Okay mommy nite nite. After Pirates we slowly made our way down Main Street I think. Ditched Blacksheep Uncle ;> so we could take our pumpkin picture - just kidding. Seriously, we didn't think about it until the very last minute. I yelled at some kids to get the hell out of our picture. <just kidding just kidding> We had some "queer eye for the straight guys" take our picture and then we S L O W L Y walked back to our room. I think it was about 12:30 when we finally got to the room. I fell onto one of the beds face first for about 10 minutes. Then we all started changing clothes and getting ready for bed. SuzieQ?! You are a saint. I can't believe you slept on that piece of crapola for two nights in a row! I got the sucker all unfolded forgot to put the couch cushions back on the top, so when I plumped up the pillows and went to sit up so I could talk, my hukkas fell through the back and the bed started to fold up. Once I got my bearing and crawled toward the middle the thing started to fold up again. I was cussing and swearing. My roommates were having a cow laughing so hard - whatever. I'm pretty sure all they could see was arms, legs and pillows flyin in the air. Plus, my teeth were chattering cause we left the air on all day - it was soooooo cold in that room. DisneyChica had a big old down comforter. I had a sheet and a paper thin velour blanket. <sigh> Who's room was this again? We, ok I laughed at SNL skits and did running commentary. IceKnyght had a BJ and somehow we all fell asleep around 1:30 I think. Then my phone started ringing, why I don't know. Day 5 - the last day coming up...

However, for those of you who might be brand new to LP, let me assure you that I am most definitively friendofdd's favorite. <<<We finally get inside the House when Litter turns into a combo of Mike Singletary and Ronnie Lott. Plowing down this woman who shouldered her and the girls. This carried over into the Pirates line also.>>> Well. . . yeah. I did have a couple of "moments" that night. The crowds were insane, I'd been dealing with them all day, and then I had the misfortune to be in front of the Uber Witch from Hell in the Haunted Mansion's stretching room. This woman is clearly lacking in some basic physics skills, because even though there was a maximum capacity crowd jammed into the stretching room, she evidently believed that if she just pushed hard enough, she could gain a superior position or view or whatever. Her first attempt to accomplish this goal was to brace her shoulder against my back and push as hard as she could, nearly causing me to bowl over DisneyChica. I planted my feet and leaned backwards to thwart her. So when she figured out that wasn't working, she dug her elbow directly into DisneyChica's back. After we survived this most un-Disney experience, we battled our way through the crowds and through another reeeeeeeally long line to ride Pirates. After standing in line for Pirates for. . .ever, we finally made it to the doors of the building. At this point, Clever Young Men No. 1 and 2 decided to bypass the very long line and just jump in front of us to enter the building. At this precise moment, I coincidentally happened to experience some sort of seizure which resulted in me planting my elbow firmly in the midriff of Clever Young Man No. 1 and pinning him against the door. I gazed sweetly up at him and apologized profusely for accidentally bumping into him. He was. . . surprised, to say the least. As luck would have it, Clever Young Men No. 1 and 2 ended up being seated in the back of our boat. They took one flash photo at the very beginning of the ride, I made a perhaps louder than necessary comment about the potential repercussions of using flash photography during the ride, and that was the last we heard of the Clever Young Men for the duration of our journey.
