It’s been a while since my last post, and its all Disney’s fault…….you see when I left my last job I moved blogging from Sunday to Tuesday to allow me to spend my weekends with the bloke. Since my last post whilst James has been off doing his fire brigade stuff I have been spending my Tuesday evenings plotting a surprise for him; now if only Disney would have worked with me on the whole Tuesday night thing!!!!!

You see, my lovely man has put up with a lot over the past 10 months what with me being made redundant and then temping; so I thought I would do something special for him. And then I remembered that he had said he wanted to do the Wild Africa trek at Animal Kingdom after seeing it in a See Ya Reel Soon video

I emailed Disney explaining it was a surprise, and I’d been waiting for the phone call back for a couple of weeks and they had to call me back when we were together!!!!! Anyway to cut a long story short I had a lovely chat with a cast member who confirmed that the tour was available for the day after our wedding anniversary but unfortunately she couldn’t book it for me and I would have to call back.

I booked it and managed to keep it a secret for a whole……….day; I was just too excited. Thankfully he was very happy with the tour, but then worried that I wasn’t going to enjoy it; after all everyone knows I am not a thrill junky and those rope bridges do look a bit hair raising. But as I have explained, this is something I wanted to do for him and I will do it (after all you’re harnessed up and Disney aren’t going to let you be in danger; wow I’ve just managed to convince myself….way to go Marchant!!!!!!!)

While we are on the subject of doing things you aren’t necessarily comfortable with, what is it with people who when you say you want to try something tell you that they don’t think you will like it – you know who you are!!!!

We have been loads of times and I am yet to ride Splash Mountain, basically I don’t like the feeling of my stomach dropping but considering that is all over so quickly I think I am willing to give it a go. Now I’m not saying I am going to use a fastpass for it but if we are there early one morning and the queues aren’t too bad you never know…..

I’ve read loads of stuff about other people just like me who managed to conquer their fears by watching you tube videos of the rides before they go, so maybe that will be my starting point; either that or I just need to give my self a stern talking to like I did about the tour we are doing 😬. You never know this could be the start of a whole new adventure for me and I’ll be riding Expedition Everest next……hmmmmm one step at a time

Anyway, I’m off – see you next week xxx
