"Would you take a bullet for a wonton?"
That comes to you courtesy of Taryn while dining at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom the other day.
I think that's probably the only interesting story for the week, to be quite honest. Thursday I assigned; lunch was awesome, and dinner was a disaster. I'd rather not relive that. Friday I was popcorn stocker and FROZE outside. Like, seriously, you have no idea how cold it is here. Yes, Canada probably is colder, and yes, you have snow and we don't (or didn't anyway), but that doesn't stop it from feeling absolutely frigid when the temperature takes a sudden dive from a comfortable zone of about 55-65 Fahrenheit into 24 Fahrenheit. Not. Fun. Saturday, though, it actually did snow in Florida. Not much, and it mostly melted as soon as it hit the ground, but it was all over the news. The fact that the last time it snowed in Florida was '89 probably had something to do with that.
Saturday I was when I went out with Taryn. I got out of work at 3, rushed to Cast Services (where my cell phone was), called her, and set out our plans. I figured that EPCOT could be our fallback park, since it's open latest and I knew a lot of reservations had been open that day from doing searches for guests during my shift. But I've never eaten in Animal Kingdom before, ever, so I just HAD to do it. And it closed at 5. So Taryn hopped our bus line from home, and I booked it over to the Yacht Club Resort to catch the bus from there (I figured it was faster to head over the walkway to there than to go to the front of the park and hop a bus over there). Exactly one hour after I'd rounded the corner backstage to head over there, I was through the turnstiles. Taryn followed not long after. It's now about 4:15-4:20. Animal Kingdom closes at 5. We rushed against the crowds to Asia, and the lobby of Yak & Yeti was pretty much dead. Thankfully, though, they were still seating, and we got an awesome table with a window that overlooked the parade route. Why they were having their parade so late in the day is beyond me, but whatever. It was cool. And the food was awesome! Ros and Carol, imagine a place that looks like a Nepalese hotel, and serves the food from East. 'Cuz that's pretty much what it is. I love it! Afterwards we headed over to Hollywood Studios, where we stood in line for almost an hour for Midway Mania, and then rode The Great Movie Ride, since Taryn had never been on it. Then, of course, we had to do Rock'n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. The view from Tower of Terror was GORGEOUS! All the lights were on, because it was dark, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky - it was crystal clear! If only it hadn't been about the temperature of Calgary...
Today has been my do-nothing day so far, but that's beginning to annoy me, so I think I might actually change out of my pj's and go do something for a while. Selina and I are going to Florida Mall tomorrow to raid their bookstore. Yay! New books!

I contest the fact that the last time it snowed in florida was '89 - I went to Disney in '91 and it snowed. It didn't stick... but there were flurries!
