I did! I think I mentioned elsewhere that we went to the Epcot Food & Wine Fest. I love this. Tiny plates of food, booth after booth. Matt just slapped a bunch of money on a little wrist debit card and was like, "Here's your gift!"
I ate till I could barely move, but it was okay because Epcot's rides are easy peasy and there's only three.
You get a button that says "Happy Birthday Jamie!" (well, if your name is not Jamie it doesn't say EXACTLY that) and then everyone wishes you Happy Birthday ALL DAY LONG. So much that toward the end, if someone did not say happy bday, I was like, "WTF? Can I see your manager?" (just kidding about the manager part)
We went to the park with one other couple. An additional couple met us for dinner at Downtown Disney later. As soon as we got there, I was like, "I have to use the bathroom!" so everyone waited near the entrance for me. Well, it's hard to find a bathroom. I was a hike away, all the way to the Cirque du Soleil tent, before I found one. I used it, came outside, and it was POURING rain. Wind ripping, thunder cracking kind of storm. And I was stranded by myself under this tent with all my people far away. Matt checked his iPhone and said it was small and should pass quickly, but after 20 minutes I was like, "This is ASS, I'm running for it, meet me at Wolfgang Puck's" and that's what we did.
Then it was drinks at an Irish Pub and that point I was happy, but tired and full up to HERE. So home we went.
