Day 5
Wednesday 21st September Mug rage, EPCOT and Dana
This morning I am a victim of mug rage... A guy clearly not a morning person decides he does not want to wait his turn in line at the refillable mug station so marges barges both myself and another innocent out of the way. Whilst the other person was gifted with fully balancing I am when out of wheelchair am bambi. As a consequence I fall smash into the counter. There is a gasp from other guests but no apology from Mr Rude. No he just fills his mug of fury and goes. I have really banged my elbow and it hurts. There is no way to fill up your mug without standing which I can do for short periods but I am not up to be shoved.
Jo was annoyed when I told her what happened. She asked me if I was hurt and I said I was ok just a little shocked. We went back to our room , picked up the car and went into EPCOT.
We had a FP+ for soarin but no FP+ for Frozen Ever After. FEA was like gold dust I just could not secure one before or during the vacation. From research I could see I can't actually get in the boat as my hips are fused and the sides too high but Jo kindly offered to lift me in. Normally I would pass on it but I really wanted to do this ride so I took her up on the kind offer. Our plan was to go straight to the ride get a return time on the
DAS and then do our FP for Soarin returning to Frozen ever after.
On entering the park I was clutching my elbow. Jo said let me look and then was horrified to find it was bleeding quite bad and very bruised. Being on steroids makes skin break very easily. Jo wanted to go to the medical centre. Having a compromised immune system I need to antibac and band aid any open wound to stop bacteria getting in. Last year at Aquatica... Oh my I got celluitis..... It was not pleasant.
Jo asked at Guest services where the medical centre was. We quickly found the medical centre and they could not be more helpful. A lovely nurse patched me up and even bagged us extra bandages etc to go. Soon we were out of there.
Before...
After..
I was pleased with a Hidden Mickey bruise..
Jo then surprised me that when she explained what had occurred that morning in guest relations they kindly gave us a return time for Frozen ever after! How kind. So we went on to do this.
Jo lifted me into the boat and we both really enjoyed this ride. It is very cute. I won't give any spoilers.
We then went on to do the new Soarin update. Very nervous as we really liked the original. What on earth were they thinking with the way some of the buildings now appear curved! The Eiffel Tower looks like the leaning tower of Pisa. Plus a couple of the buildings to me looked very digitally animated. That said we still enjoyed it.
We also did living in the land. I really like that attraction.
It was time to go as were seeing our friend Dana early afternoon. She was coming to SSR to see us. I meet Dana online on the DIS doing my first FE on
DCL. We have been friends and stayed in contact ever since. She lives locally in Kissemme with her lovely family.
We had lunch at Disney Springs no prize for question the Earl...
Then we headed back to SSR. And relaxed by the pool while we waited for Dana to call.
To be continued..
I'm glad you have had already had many "Disney Difference" situations happen. Keep it coming! I can't wait to read more and hear all about this cruise!
