picture this if you will.......

Picture this if you will......


This phrase was near the "look at your face" photo wall at the end of the Tower of Terror ride at Hollywood Studios. I read it several times while waiting for Emma, Jessi and Matt to finish their turn. If you're wondering what the Tower of Terror ride entails, let me paraphrase Matt:

It goes up and then DOWN! AGH!!!! Fast! It's scary!!!!!!

I included a picture of their "look at your face" below. Notice how Matt just seems oblivious to what's about to happen... because this was his first big person ride. He's now scarred for life.

We began the day with well-thought plans, which were hijacked by Nick about 10 minutes into breakfast. So, we threw those plans out the window and took the remainder of the day hour by hour. Turns out life is much less stressful that way.

When we entered the park, we acquired our handicap sticker for Nick. He really can't stand upright for long periods of time without losing balance (unless NASCAR is on tv, then he can stand upright in one spot ON TOP OF THE COFFEE TABLE WITHOUT FALLING FOR HOURS.....), so waiting in long lines just isn't fun with him. Our bright red and white "front of the line" sticker certainly helped make our experience easy and effortless. I was almost giddy at how easy it was.... Until the reality of having a disabled, MR child came crashing down when he completely lost it around lunch. So we headed back to our hotel and let him nap. Didn't stop him from pushing limits over and over and over again for the evening, but did give the girls and I a chance to regroup.

We had a productive day, though. Caught a few live shows, rode a few rides, saw a few characters and Matt was able to be part of the Disney Rocks show. And no, he didn't get up on the stage and steal someone's microphone (a miracle, right?).
