I need a vacation from my vacation😳!

This past trip was a mess. I had so many plans to do certain things that were just thrown out the window. To be fair my room was great, I got the tub I asked for and not too far from an elevator, and I got a little magic with a discount on the valet parking for my stay.

Thursday I had a good breakfast at the Craftsman Bar & Grill, lunch at Carthay Circle, and early dinner at Centrico. I tried the fish tacos at Centrico and found the batter was dairy free so it was safe for me and was super delicious.

Once ready to get costumed up (after unpacking and then steaming it), I had issues with it that I could not resolve so I had to abandon it after about an hour of fussing with it🤨and nearly tiring myself out.

Once inside the party I asked at Villains Grove if they did return times and they said only for the DAS guests, which I am no longer😞, so I was bummed about that. I had a pity party after I walked away from there and was sad my friends couldn’t come with me, sad my costume was a failure (after working on my Medusa headband for a few hours too), and just felt pathetic.

I got up after that though and resolved 🤨to push through all of it and enjoy what was left. I managed to go around to several treat trails, get a front spot for the parade across from the Dessert party tables (just like last year🤔🤣), and actually made it into the Villains Grove in the end. So the night was not lost entirely. I carefully packed my costume away and planned to make sure it would work for next year.

Friday I did the Happiest Haunts Tour and enjoyed it even though I wished it had more details about things but I’m a Disney📖🤓so it’s better for folks that don’t read all the books😉. I had a snack at the break🍇of grapes and apple juice and once back at my room, my body didn’t approve of it. I was out of commission for a few hours and wasn’t able to get myself to see one of the GayDays shows which I was very upset about😞. I started to feel somewhat better so I forced myself to get to the fireworks viewing area for the Tours and had a great time chatting with the folks there. Managed to use that specific Haunted Mansion LL from the tour and go back to my room, pack up, and collapse.

Saturday I was going to meet a friend for breakfast for the first time and head into Disneyland to snap picks of the GayDays meet ups to rescue the trip. This unfortunately was the worst day😳.

After eating 3-4 bites of my favorite dish at the Craftsman Bar & Grill, I needed to immediately 🤮. After multiple trips to the restroom the staff came over worried about me and I told them the food set me off. They comped me the meal of course and offered to get the nurse for me then but I just wanted to rest somewhere and first aid wasn’t a short convenient walk for me.

A friend of my friend had shown up and offered to let me rest in his room since I was checked out and he was going to GayDays fun. Thankfully I had already made sure my luggage was picked up by the bell service before I went to breakfast. The room was a godsend and I passed out.

Four or so hours later I woke up and I felt somewhat ok. I tried to leave but once waiting for my car outside with my luggage I realized I might 🤮 up again. So they called a nurse for me (who really couldn’t help me but I explained what happened to her and she took my info) and 2 security guards watched me at the bench I was sitting at👮🏽‍♂️, valet loaded my car with my bags, and re-parked it for me since I couldn’t drive yet. The valet manager took me to an area in the conference center where I could sit and showed me a bathroom nearby since they didn’t have a place like the first aid center where I could rest better.

Took me an hour or so to feel better and lose that welling up in my throat 🤢feeling. I did manage to take a few tiny sips of my water too. At this point I just wanted my own bed and kitty by my side. Got home around 5:30pm and hubby made me a small bow of chicken soup which I was able to eat and I crashed for the night.

I think I lost 2 pounds this trip.😳
