Sept. 12-21st, WL with free dining!
Do you ever do things that you really, really shouldn't have, but you figured you'd give it a try anyway? Yeah...welcome to Day 6...After sleeping in for a bit (surprise, right?), Steve and I headed to Disney Studios, because we had reservations at the Sci Fi Diner for a late lunch. We arrived just in time to witness Mr. Jones going for the temple idol (we enjoyed the show, but dude, the ride in DL is AMAZING), and then headed towards Star Tours. And here's where Erin (oh, that's me btw) made a bad decision. I get motion sickness...I can't read in the car and it stinks. I did a lot of research on this ride before hand though, and saw that a lot of people who are prone to motion sickness don't get it on this ride, yada yada yada...Steve was super excited to try it out, and I wanted to see it too. I knew full well going into it what it was, but as I buckled my seatbelt, I wondered if it was really such a good idea. Well, our aircraft "took off", and it started out ok...and then the pilot decided to go fight the bad guys and a little something inside of me slowly died...perhaps it was my soul...perhaps it was my breakfast...either way, it wasn't good. The ride ended, and Steve thought that I would be fine, because it really wasn't that bad. He took his time getting the video camera out from under the seat, while I just looked at him and hissed "GET OUT NOW". I must have not looked to great, because my poor DH quickly got out of the way, and I briskly walked outside to a waiting bench. I sat there, trying to look discreet, but dude, I was feeling:sick: and the world hadn't stopped spinning. Steve was a patient man, and sat with me for a bit, as I tried to get my affairs in order ( I did apologize to him for yelling, but he totally shrugged it off...good husband!). Our lunch reservation was coming up, and I knew that Steve was really looking forward to it, and I was as well...After the world stopped spinning for a bit, we made our way over to the Diner, and Steve checked in while I numbly sat against the wall. Once we actually were seated, and I had a good hour in A.C and there was no movement, I was able to enjoy myself a little bit. I know this place gets bad reviews, but Steve and I loved our meal. Our shakes were great, and the rib meat fell right off of the bone..mmm...but when we finished, and I got up to leave, I knew the rest of the day was a wash. Once you get motion sick, and it's hot, you're pretty much screwed for the rest of the day. We headed back to the hotel, and I slept for a very long time...Steve brought some dinner that evening, and then I kept on sleeping. I'm not going to lie-I only felt a little guilty, and I was pretty disappointed because we were going to go see Fantasmic that evening, but that sleep was what the doctor ordered-and it allowed me to get over the sickness and enjoy the rest of the vacaction. Did I mention that my husband is very, very patient and understanding? I love that man!
