Who doesn't love
Disney? Boy do I have some stories to
share with these trips! When we go to
Disney, we travel with one of our family friends. We each rent our own cars so we can come and
go with more flexibility. On one
occasion, we planned a special lunch at Sanaa to dine with an animal
specialist. Afterwards, our friends were
heading over for a horseback ride to celebrate their daughter's birthday.
On said morning, their
daughter accidently locked their rental car keys in the car. Upon calling a company to get the doors
unlocked, they were told the time they would arrive would be after we needed to
leave to get to the lunch on time. The
Dad insisted that we go on without him to which we all refused. Somehow, it was decided that they would all ride
in our car, which seats five. The trunk
was open to the backseat so the Dad would ride, technically, in the trunk to
get there.
For about half of the trip
there, I worried about getting into a car accident or being pulled over but
then realized if anything bad is going to happen, it is going to happen. Worrying will not change the outcome. Every time Ben hit the brake, the Dad would
hem and haw in the back and throw himself around - he was having a blast! When we pulled up to Sanaa, our friends said
to use the valet parking (they had free valet parking with their plan). As the valet workers came out to open the
doors, they were quite surprised to see a grown man rolling out of the trunk
but kept it professional.
After lunch, they were
going to have courtesy transportation to the horseback riding location but were
told it would be at least 30 minutes before the transportation would arrive,
which would make them late. We insisted
that we could take them where they needed to go and get there in time. They agreed and when the valet brought up the
car, they opened the trunk for the Dad and said, "Sir," while
motioning to the trunk. As we pulled
away, we all had a good laugh. I like to
think we also brought a laugh to the valet crew.
