Days 4, 5, & 6 at Disney ( + Misc...)






WARNING: this post has a kajillion pictures! In my effort to finish up the Disney trip, it's turned into a lot of pictures.

We are now up to Day 5 and we headed to Hollywood Studios. I was really looking forward to going here because I enjoyed it so much when we came on our honeymoon 12 years ago!

Tucker posed with coke delivery man...

Our first stop was the Tower of Terror...
I wasn't feeling great so I didn't plan on going on but Michael definitely wanted to. Tucker insisted he didn't want to but I went with him all the way to where you get on the elevators. Needless to say, Michael rode by himself!

We then headed over to Toy Story Mania and got FastPasses to come back later...like 6 pm! (Keep in mind it was only 9 am!!!)

We went on the Studio Back Lot Tour and enjoyed checking everything out, including props, etc. Michael and Tucker had to pose in front of the Star Wars stuff.
It was a given that we would have lunch at the Pizza Planet! Tucker has been talking about it forever and we finally did it!

We then headed over to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Play Area and Tucker LOVED it!!!!


Do you think he's enjoying himself?!? lol
Here comes Tucker...

Here comes Michael...


Posing with the giant ant...
On to the Muppet 3D show (the lady behind us in line offered to take this for us!)
Michael and I didn't do this when we came here and it was a little hokey but still fun! Tucker and I posed with our 3D glasses


The Great Movie Ride is one of my favorites!!!
Tucker was looking forward to this....
They show you all kinds of neat tricks and stunts and show you how they actually create the action you see in the movies....

Unfortunately it was during this show that I really didn't feel well and actually spent most of it in the shade with a wet towel on my forehead. I ended up taking the resort bus back to the hotel and they took our rental car back.

They continued on and one of Tucker's favorites was the Indiana Jones' Show---he especially liked the explosions!




We had reservations for "dinner" at 3:30 at Mama Melrose's (including the Fantasmic show preferred seating)so they ate and then came back to hotel, figuring they would go back at 6 for Toy Mania. Michael took one look at me and thought I should be seen and find out was going on. By this point I had really bad stomach cramps and was shivering. He contacted the front desk and I went by van to a walk-in clinic where they couldn't decide if I had a GI bleed, a bowel obstruction , gastroenterititis or simply my IBS. (I'm sparing you all the TMI details...you're welcome). So I went from the walk-in clinic to the ER by ambulance and as the EMTs are worrying about my blood pressure (it was 161/100), I was wondering if I had cut my toenails since they were right in front of this 20-something face!

I arrived at the ER with a temp of 103 and my blood pressure had come down to 141/100 so they attached some monitors and left me in the hall. That was at 6:30. they didn't come along and put an IV in until around 8:30, and the doctor finally saw me and order a CT scan and blood work. The blood work happened right away, the CT scan didn't happen until 12:30 AM!! During this time I was on the phone with Michael, my mom, and Julie to keep them all updated. Julie was on "stand-by" if for some reason we needed to have her come get Tucker if Michael needed to be with me at the hospital. After they did the CT scan and I had a minor meltdown, I was finally free to at 2:30 am. I ended up having gastroenteritis and a flare-up of my IBS...not fun!

It turned out that Tucker and Michael didn't end up going back for Toy Story Mania and Fantasmic and just hung out at the hotel. I slept in and they headed to Hollywood Studios to be the first in line for Toy Story Mania, which they were!

I met them for lunch at Planet Hollywood and was actually able to eat a little bit!




This is the mirror in the ladies' room; I just had to take a picture!
The Lego store...




We rested for the rest of the day and then it was time for our final day!

Julie and family came over to spend some time with us before we left...


Miscellaneous pictures...

We came home every day to find creative towel creatures done by the housekeeper!
Tucker took this one himself!
some pictures in the 50s...




And that would be it...We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back in two years!!!!

Great pics! Looks like a great trip (except for that side trip to the ER).
