Okay, the OCD in me is trying to make some normalcy out of the chaos, so I guess I'll start with a consistant thread title! :D

ASSports, room 2250
Days 1-3 were all crazy and chaotic, filled with major ups and downs (you can find those reports under some random, sleep deprived, rambling titles!).
Now I will try to be a bit more organized with my reports and thoughts. The operative word here being "try" .
Yesterday (Wednesday) we went to DTD for a bit of shopping. We got some goodies for folks at home, DH got a watch (his WDW watch from 2002 finally kicked the bucket) and I got another Chamilia charm for my bracelet (a Minnie to go with my Mickey!)
After a nice lunch at Earl of Sandwich, we headed back to the resort to drop off our goodies, then went to MGM where we would be meeting our friends Brian and Michelle.
I guess our heads were still floating on the Disney magic of the past few days, or at least John's was, b/c as we stepped off the bus he misjudged his step and stubbed, no slammed, his toe into the curb. He said, "I think I just broke my toe." I said, "I'm sorry." and we moved on.
We met up with our friends, had dinner at Pizza Planet (after being laughed at by asking if there were any reservations to be had :) ) and headed to the 10:00 FAntasmic (with a quick stop to the candy store on the way :blush:).
When we go to line up for Fantasmic (the 8:30 show is almost over and ready to dismiss) DD tells me she needs a restroom. By the time we get back, it is a sea of people and I know we will not get back to John. I call him and he says he'll call when they're seated and tell us where to find them.
No sweat. Well as the sea of people becomes a tsunami of people, I begin to have what I can only imagine is a panic attack. We were crammed together so tightly, I cannot describe it. My head started spinning, I got hot, dizzy, and my heart was beating out of control. I felt people touching me everywhere, my DD was starting to panic (no doubt sensing mine) and you literally couldn't move. I knew I had to keep calm or I would scare Olivia, so I tried to take some deep breaths and think of other things. I can only imagine how scary it was for her...she kept screaming (b/c you couldn't her her otherwise) "I can't see the sky!"
I must say the entire ordeal makes me a bit nervous for what New Years Eve will hold. I wonder if the First Aid centers have Xanex? :D
Finally 32 minutes later we're allowed to start the trek to the show, I met up with the others and everything was ok again, :whew:
AFter this, Olivia and I went to the dance party in front of the hat (where I temporarily lost my mind again and did the hokey pokey and chicken dance! :secret:) and shopped while the others rode ToT.
when we all met up, we headed to the movie ride, then home.
when we got home, John pulls off his sock and shoe, and his middle toes is JET BLACK! the nail is a bit purple, but the digit itself is BLACK, crooked, and he cannot move it. at all.
So I look online for what to do with a broken toe, and it says to nothing but stay off of it. That should be easy with 8 days remaining on our trip. :shake:
Luckily, with the crowd levels we're experiencing, he can hobble along as slowly as he needs to b/c you can't get anywhere fast in the cattle drive anyway! (see we're still trying to think positively! ;) )
Today we're heading to EPCOT. I will have a report (and I promise John will get photos up, too!) soon.
Thanks for reading,
Christine
