This past weekend we had a training convention at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club.
I won’t bore you with the minor details of it all but it was fun and educational. (I will be posting individual post for each event in a little more detail in the coming weeks.)
Friday night it started out with a trade show and a cocktail reception all fine and dandy. Saturday we had a ship inspection on the Disney Fantasy! I really need (want) to sail this ship!
Saturday night we had a surprise event at Animal Kingdom after it closed!
How awesome is that! It started with some appetizers and cocktails then moved on to dinner at the Tusker House restaurant.
After dinner we moved to another area which was set up with coffee and desserts! and for the finale a no wait no lines chance to get on and ride Expedition Everest! (as many times as you please) 
Well for the record I only rode once! Yup you got it…that’s all it took! so this is where it all went down hill! 😦
After ALL the eating that had just commenced you would think that maybe I would be a little smarter then to jump on a rickety super fast 50 mph with an 80′ drop roller coaster that also goes backwards.
Ahhhhhh but NO I suppose I could blame it on peer pressure but off I went! and since there was no line the only chance for hesitation was perhaps when I heard the clink of the lap restraint.
Oh yeah and did I mention it was DARK!
Well we all know how this ended (me behind a bush) didn’t even make it to the bathroom! Well not the first time anyway!
And THANKS to the GREAT Disney gift bag I was handed as I wearily schlepped myself out of the park I was able to finish on the bus on our way back to my hotel. A little graphic… yes I suppose.
(No worries no gifts were damaged, I had removed them first) 😀
So it was a horrible ending to an otherwise fabulous night!
So have you rode it? did you like it?
So some may not know…what is Expedition Everest exactly? and what’s the story?
Check it out here….
The following morning as I DRAGGED myself out of bed we were scheduled on a 8 hour VIP tour of Universal Studios.
No way was I missing that! I did forego most of the rides….do it once shame on me but twice oh NO!
It was a great tour!
More on that to come!
