The Xanex Incident of 2013: Honeymoon Conclusion

For our Honeymoon, Ian and I went to Disney World. I'm a horrible flyer, so, when I fly now, I get a prescription for Xanex from my doctor. Having an anxiety attack on a plane is not fun.
During the week, I had been taking Xanex at the parks to help me feel less anxiety about getting on the rides. Having an anxiety attack in EPCOT isn't fun either, but that's another story.
The last day of our honeymoon, we were spending in Animal Kingdom. There was a ride called "Dinosaur" I really wanted to get on. On our past trip to Disney World, because of said anxiety attack I had in EPCOT, I did not ride Dinosaur. I also didn't ride a lot of other rides. So, with my lunch at the Flame tree BBQ, I took two .5's of Xanex.
I rode Dinosaur! It kind of felt like the ride was in slow motion, which was really strange! Then, we finished our day at Animal Kingdom and left for the airport. When we got to the airport, I took my usual dosage for flying of Xanex, two .5's, my second dosage of that in about 6 hours.
Well, the flight home, I was fine, just really sleepy. As soon as we got off the plane, I remember taking a picture of a model plane, and stating to Ian that I was hungry and NEEDED food! After that is when things start getting hazy.

On the way home from the airport, we stopped and got food at Steak 'n Shake. I ordered a Chili 5-Way. We got home, and I remember eating the food, handing the half empty container to my husband, and going to bed. 

Three days later, I asked Ian why we hadn't received our mail from the week before that we had held. He said, "We did." I said, No, we didn't! He said, "YES, WE DID!" I said, no, there's no way. He said, "You sat here on the couch the night we flew in and read mail and handed it to me to read!!!"  Only then, did I kind of remember doing that.
I had come home that night. We went through all of the mail right then, but I hadn't remembered any of that.
Be careful with how much Xanex you take!

Disney World, the trip worth taking!

In the Fall, Ian and I took a trip to Disney World.  It was amazing!  So amazing, I keep asking him when we're going back!  We spent eight nights and nine days in the Disney World Resort, and every moment was awesome!
One of my favorite things about Disney World were the Extra Magic Hours!  If you stay on Disney property, they have the parks open for extra hours for the guests.  During these Extra Magic Hours, you get to ride all of the main attractions without all of the extra people that are there during the day.  This is so much fun!  Ian and I figured this out by accident.  I mean, we were told what they were, but just ended up being in the right park the second night we were there!  We were in Hollywood Studios eating dinner at the Sci-Fi Diner, and when we were done, the park was still open!  I got to ride my favorite ride, Star Tours, 8 or 9 times in a row that night!  That was awesome!  I recommend, anyone that's going, take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours!

When you go to Disney, I totally recommend getting the dining plan!  We actually got a code for a free dining plan when we went.  The dining plan we used had one quick service meal, one table service meal, and one snack a day per person. We maybe spent $150 total on food!  Almost every meal was amazing!  One of my personal favorite meals was eating at the Coral Reef restaurant in Epcot.  The Coral Reef has a gigantic tank full of sea life you can watch while eating sea food!  I know, it sounds all wrong!  But it was so beautiful!  An awesome sea turtle sat next to us and slept for our entire meal!  We also experienced the Aloha Show, the Sci-Fi Drive In Diner, and the Liberty Tree Inn.  All we had to pay for were the tips.  I had a friend that went with her family a couple weeks ago.  Her family paid for the dining plan, and she said, they saved over $500.  Trust me, you will never go hungry with the dining plan.  Dessert comes with every meal!

My favorite experience from the entire trip was the "Festival of the Lion King." This show lasted about a half hour.  It's located in the Animal Kingdom.  People line up for it at least a half hour ahead of start time.  There are puppets and people dressed as the animals.  It's an interactive experience from beginning to end.  The characters talk to the audience and make them part of the show!  They have the audience make the sounds of Wart Hogs, Elephants, Giraffes, and Lions. Then, they tell the story of the "Lion King" through a musical review.  I cried both times we saw it!

Going to Disney is definitely the trip worth taking.  We plan on going again soon!  I would recommending going at least once B.C. (Before Children).  We got to enjoy so many things on our own time.  The Happiest Place on Earth is worth every penny we spent!
