Local Motion: an Everlasting Gobstopper of a Trip Report

Safely home. Ryley is zonked out already. Tomorrow is recovery day. We are all such introverts that we will each be hidden in our own corner of the house and probably not interact with each other until about dinnertime. Seems to be as much of a Disney tradition as anything else. :slightly_smiling_face:

We ran past @ThorKat 's house but no one was home. (We hit massive traffic so decided to jump off and grab Wendys for dinner. Turns out it was exit 25, so were close. You’re exit 22, I think?)

BTW, complete nonsequitur but is anything better than a post-themepark shower? :bath:

I can think of a couple of things. But that shower is pretty awesome

Oh yeah. It’s pretty constant but at least he knows how to manage it (most of the time). New anti-anxiety med has been doing well, the Disney test drive just disn’t go as planned.

This is really good. But man. That must be hard. For all of you.

I think he would agree that at this point, it’s just a fact of life. You can either figure out a way to deal with it and get around it or you can curl up in a ball and let it win. Of course, that’s easy for me to say because I’m not the one who has to do the work.

Today’s ride pix.


Ryley looks scared to death but she always says that this is her favorite ride. (And EE. And Splash. And RNRC - but not today. And BTRR.)


(Where do they take this one?)

The range of emotions in ToT pictures is always fun to see.

The SDD pic is at the end before you make the right hand turn to go back into the station.

Is the lady next to Ryley on ToT saying something to her and pointing? That’s what it looks like!! :rofl:

It’s good Don knows when he needs to get out of the crowd. I hate that he has to live with that. That anyone has to live with that kind of anxiety! But my DxH is the same.

Yes. She explained to Ryley how to know the car was about to drop, which excited Ryley to no end. (Ryley will chat up absolutely anyone she is next to on a ride)

And ironically, she loves all the inside information like that but thinks that I (and that means you all too) am too weird about using an online group to find it all out. :joy:

My DD22 is the same. Thinks the forum is a bunch of weirdos (no offense to anyone here!) but will look up all kinds of Disney trivia via bloggers, youtube, etc.

Great job with Genie+ today. I lucked out with that downpour today. I was in Epcot and had just gotten into the DVC lounge, no wet shoes.

And we got just wet enough to make it annoying.

Did I miss when you said you skipped ToT? I don’t see you in the ride pic.

Yes. After the hard left after the 3 bunny hills, you see a stack of blocks on each side that will flash, immediately followed by the pic from the second stack on the right.
