For the record (and because the AOL girls have it all wrong), we did go to another Fantasmic show two nights later and sat for an hour before the show started to get a good spot. I had no idea that would be necessary the first time we tried to see the show.

All the viewing was standing room only . . . and you didn’t need to be close, just have an unobstructed view. The tall guy wouldn’t have missed a thing had he stepped back. Furthermore, we were there first–he stepped in front of us and the angle and crowding was such that there was no way to see around him. I didn’t stick around long enough to ask him to step aside–the show is incredibly loud, anyway. We simply moved to another place . . . on the side, and did our best to crane our necks to see around the crowds. Oh, and when I moved, I made sure we didn’t suddenly obstruct anyone else’s view.

I have no feelings about tall people one way or the other, but in this one certain chaotic situation, I found this one particular tall guy to be thoughtless. I was there! I know what happened, the angle, the view, the situation . . . and the frustration of dealing with a huge crowd at 10 p.m. while holding a 4-year old on my back and trying not to lose my other three kids . . . give me a break, people!

Well I have to ask Mel, did you ask the tall guy if you could step in front of him? Because if you didn’t ask him then I don’t see how you can claim he was rude! I’ve asked people before if they minded my kids stepping on front of them and I’ve always found people to be very kind in this regard.

Sounds like the perfect 20 year marriage. Tired, gritty eyes, and all. They could have at least given you adjoining rooms.
Nevertheless congratulations! I was at a wedding last weekend and you are right the bubble skirt has returned in full force. All bridesmaids had one on, but they were all tea length. Its interesting for sure.

Happy Anniversary!!! Are your bridesmaids still friends with you? I bet they don’t like being reminded about the dresses they wore on your wedding ha ha ha.

Sounds like you guys are really having a lot of fun … except for the hotel room saga. Seems like you guys are dealing with that too.

Have fun!!!

How great that you are in California– what a great time you must be having! Your kids are at the perfect age–your daughter is young enough to enjoy the magic and the boys are old enough to ride on their own! Hooray!

Happy anniversary! Did I ever tell you that I am still nursing a grudge towards Lisa B for taking my same wedding day and stealing you to be her bridesmaid!??? The nerve!!!

(Kidding. No grudge. Envy rots the bones and I need healthy thick bones for old age, right?)

Enjoy your trip friend!

Homejewel, I don’t think that his height was the problem, it was his rudeness! He could certainly see over her boys, it would have been kind to let them step in front of him. Height is not a choice. Kindness is.
