A Magical Birthday
July 8th, 2008 by Chris SSo Friday I ventured off to Orlando with my girlfriend for her birthday (yes we found silver heels!) First thing of the night was going to Downtown Disney and visiting Cirque Du Soleil. If you have not witnessed this event live, you MUST! It was the most incredible, shocking, speechless thing on earth. I want to go back again already. At times there is so much going on that you don’t know what to look at. But overall, it was magical.
After that, we headed over to Pleasure Island because my girlfriend would be 21 in 15 minutes, so we stand in line to get into a club and at 11:54 exactly they say “I’m sorry but you have to wait 6 minutes” I was furiated because I timed the line wrong and figured it would be midnight by the time we got up there. So we went back in line and made it right at midnight. We had a lot of fun in the “Motions” nightclub, and then headed over to the “BET Soundstage” for about 15 minutes. I was pretty disappointed in the fact it only stayed open until 2 a.m., I would have figured at least 4.
Saturday morning came and we spent all day (10:00 a.m. - 12:30 a.m.) at Magic Kingdom. We were able to accomplish every single ride and attraction to see. We watched the fireworks, which are just magical and worth the price of a ticket by themselves. They give you a little button that says “Today is my birthday” and when I went in March with my aunt, they gave her free water, ice cream, and etc. at every place we went, my girlfriend did not get a single thing free i was mad. Well, she did get happy birthday sang to her at the Noodle Station (in Tomorrowland) and they gave her a little dessert!
One of the things that made my day had nothing to do with Magic Kingdom. We asked a gentleman to take our picture and he did and as I was walking away I heard him say, “Hey, are you diabetic?” And I turned around and proudly said, “Yes, I am for almost 5 years now.” He pointed to his daughter, about 7-8 years old, and says, “she is too, she’s had it since she was 8, show him her pump honey” She showed me her pump, same one I had. Then came the cutest thing I ever heard in my life (I can’t believe I just said cute), she looked at me and said, “My last number was 104, what was yours?” I responded with, “I haven’t tested for a few hours, but it was 180?, and the best advice I ever had followed, “Well, thats a little high, you should probably test again!”
Like I said, a magical experience!
