Part 2 - Once Upon The First Universal Trip

We woke up and today is a new day so what was in store today? We went to the park, I am still feeling very sick but at least this time I was able to make it out of the room or so...I thought. We got down to the ground floor from the elevator and got not even halfway to the main entrance. I stopped walking and Ben looks at me and said, "What's wrong?" I said with a moan, "I don't feel so good. I need a bathroom quick! Where is there a bathroom at?" He said, "I'm not sure, let's try find one. You think you gonna make it back up to the room?" I said, "No, I won't make it. I don't have enough time." We both walked into the door to somewhere, he asked other people around us if they knew where there was one at. We found one and he shouted, "Karen! I found one! It's over here!" waved his hand at me to signal me to come over. I run over to where he is at and into the bathroom. I threw up again and again. Finally, it stopped for now. I knew it in my heart today is not going to be a better day. I walk out of the bathroom.

Ben said, "Are you alright? Do we need to go back to hotel?" I said, "No! No more bathroom breaks. I am sick of this, I should be enjoying this and this isn't fun at all. Let's just keep walking." Ben said while giving me a hug, "I'm sorry babe, wish there was more I could do for you. Do you want to extend our stay?" I said to him, "I don't know. Would this go away by then? We have no clue." Ben said, "It's chance we take. Food poisoning doesn't last long. I said, "Yeah, you would think. Let me think about extending our stay or not." We get to CityWalk and go through security. We walked in the park and I got hungry so told Ben we need find something I can eat. I found a fruit stand, got some fruit.

While we started walking again then I saw a pizza place and said with excitement, "Ooh we got to try that place later." Ben said while he smiled, "I'm all in for it." We get to Ben's ride and stopped walking at the entrance. I said, "Alright Ben your up first. I'll be right here waiting for you to return." He smiled and said, "Are you gonna be okay here?" I said with smile back, "Yeah, I'll be okay for now." He walks towards the entrance. A few minutes later goes by and I felt sick to my stomach again! I started asking people around, where is there a bathroom? Hello, do you know where the bathroom is at? Anyone?" Someone answered me and points to me in the direction west. I walk west and I couldn't see it anywhere. Ben walked out and is looking for me. I asked Ben, "Hey that ride was fast!" Ben said, "Yes, there really wasn't a long line. What are you doing?" I said back to him while turning around in circles and squinting because the sun is so bright, "I am looking for a bathroom" Ben laughed and said, "Sorry, I don't mean to laugh at you but you seriously don't see that big sign?" I look at him and said, "What big sign?" He laughed again and said, "It's right in front of you." I look straight ahead and I laughed with him and replied back with, "Oh, wow. How in the world did I miss that?" He smiled and laughed then said, "I don't know but I'll stay right here waiting for you." I said, "Okay I hope I won't be too long."

I go into the bathroom, threw up again, washed my hands and then walked back outside towards Ben. Ben said, "Are you sure you're okay? Because you were in there for quite awhile." I said, "I was? I don't even know." He said alright let's continue walking and finding rides so we both can go on. Five minutes later still walking and I said to him, "Stop, I need find another bathroom!" Ben's eyes widened and said, "Again? Okay um..." he looked all around then pointed "There! I found one!" We walk towards the bathroom. I walked inside bathroom and few minutes later I walked back outside to Ben and started walking again. Ben said with excitement, "Let's try going on this ride together!" I said, "Alright, lead the way." He stopped at the ride entrance and said, "You ready?" I said with concern, "Um, don't spin us or otherwise you're gonna be seeing throw up everywhere." Ben said, "Okay, I won't do that." We got on the ride and Ben started spinning the seats. Then he said, "You ever been on the scrambler? This ride is kind of like that." I said to him with concern, "Um, you brought me on a ride that spins knowing I am throwing up? Are you out of your damn mind?" Ben laughed and said, "The way you just said it, makes me sound awful. I didn't even think about that. You know me? I don't think." I laughed and jokingly said, "Yeah you said it, not me!" The ride started and we just kept going around and around. After the ride was done, I knew I needed to find a bathroom and for my head to stop spinning. We walk towards the exit out of ride and I nearly fell. Ben opened his jaw and then said, "Omg, are you okay? You got to be careful." I said sarcastically, "Seriously? You are asking me to be careful and you brought me on a ride that spins so much I'm lucky I didn't fall down when I got up from the ride." Ben said, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that." I said sarcastically, "It's okay, I'll be fine just don't mind me."

We started walking towards the other side of the park and Ben said, "Are you hungry? Let's try find that pizza place again." I said with a sigh, "Okay, I think it was this way." A few minutes later, a man approaches us. He said, "You want free gift cards and a free breakfast? All you need to do is show up to the seminar, we'll pick you up, feed you and drop you back off and give you a complimentary gift card." I look at Ben and said, "I don't know, do you want to do it?" Ben said with confusion, "I don't know, something feels wrong about this." I look at him and said, "Yes, I feel that too." Then the guy starts talking again and asking us if we are married or engaged. We both replied, "Nope." The guy said, "I'll just lie and say that you two got engaged. It's mostly for family or couples." I look at Ben with one of my eyebrows up and while he's looking at me and said, "That's strange, a company that wants a couple or family. What the heck is this?" Ben said, "I don't know, I'm going to text my sister. She might know more." I said, "Alright, and I am googling this to find out if there are any reviews since this doesn't seem like it's extremely new." We signed up and walked away but then a few minutes later we realized, we aren't going through with it so we walk back to the guy and said, "Rip up our form, something came up. We can't go, and thank you though." and walked away.

We get to the pizza place and got our pizza, sat down on a bench started eating it. Ben finished his and I hardly touched mine. I had a few bites and then my stomach felt sick again. A few minutes later we get up, put our food in the trash and started walking. Five minutes go by and I said to Ben, "Oh no! I need a bathroom like right now. Go ask the lady at the window if she knows where there is a bathroom at." So he ran to the window to ask but as he was asking I held my hand against my mouth and I saw that I am standing next to the trash can. I did what I thought was best, and felt so guilty for doing it too. As I leaned over to the trash can out comes the throw up right threw my hand covered mouth. I was a huge mess. Ben ran over and I said to him, "Um, it's a little bit too late." Ben said, "Ew, okay well you got stuff everywhere" then we walk towards the bathroom. He said, "If only you had more time to walk this way since you were close to the bathroom but like you said you weren't close enough to hold it." I said with a frown, "Yeah, I feel so bad too but it was either the trash can or the ground and I saw people eating. I really hope the ones eating didn't watch me. I was trying so hard to wait for you to come back so I could use the bathroom." Ben said while patting my back, "It'll be okay, I am sure they will understand." Then I walk towards the bathroom, went inside, cleaned myself up, then went back outside.

We started walking again. I told Ben, "Alright let's go back to hotel and try to stay an extra day." Ben said, "Okay if that's what you want to do." We got back to the hotel and I asked the front desk explaining them my situation and if they have any available rooms for tomorrow." The front desk checked and then said, "No, I am so sorry. We don't have any rooms available. We are all booked out." I said with a frown, "Aw, this stinks. Thank you anyway for trying." The front desk clerk said with a smile, "You're welcome and I hope you have a good day." We sit down at the café, Ben went and got something to eat while I was searching on googling trying to find another room. A few minutes later, my eyes widened and I looked up with excitement I shout, "Ben! I found one!" He said, "Really? Where?" I said "Sapphire Falls, it's not bad for price either." He smiled and said, "Okay, book it and see you aren't cursed. Things look like they are looking up now so cheer up." I give him a sarcastic stare then smiled and said, "Fine."

We head back to the park to go get our express passes and buy another ticket for tomorrow. We were walking inside the park and got closer to this guy in a park uniform he shouts, "Hey you! Happy Birthday! Are you having a good birthday?" We stopped and I responded to him with a frown and said, "No, I am not having any fun at all." He introduced himself as Josh and he told me he'd make my day a whole lot better. So he was talking with us as we are walking asked us if we ever had butterbeer. I said "No, what's that?" And his eyes just widened with shock and with excitement he brings us to the butterbeer stand and got us some butterbeer free of charge. I asked him, "Is this dairy?" And he said, "Oh, I don't know. Ask the other employee they might tell you." The employee at the stand I asked him if he knew what was in it and he said, "J.K. Rowling made that drink and no one can know what is in it to keep it unique and special it is in the contract." I said, "Well, I didn't ask for recipe just asked if it had dairy in it but okay. I guess I'll try a little bit." Josh said with excitement, "Don't worry guys the drinks are on me." Then he said he got another surprise for us and to keep walking. So we kept walking and we see the sign for Amazing Adventure of Spiderman." He points up and towards entrance and shouts, "Alright you two love birds, how would you like it if I got us all way to front row of the ride?" I said, "Really?" Ben said, "You can do that?" Josh shook his head smiled wide and said, "Sure can! Follow me!" We follow him and head into exit and next thing we see line of the ride walking past the gate and right onto the ride in front row! Ben and I said, "Whoa, this is awesome!" We get off of the ride and he said, "So, how'd you like your ride in front row experience?" I said to him, "It was really cool, sorry not in an exciting kind of mood. I am just sick." Josh said, "It's okay and I do hope you feel better. I'm glad I was able to put some smiles on your faces. Well guys, it's been fun and great getting to know you but I got to get back to work. Have a good rest of your day and Karen, get well soon!" We both smiled at him and said, "Bye, nice meeting you Josh."

A few hours go by after going on Cat In The Hat and more rides, we walked back to the front of entrance to go to guest services office. We get to guest services and a lady introduced herself as, Roberta-Anne, and as I am telling her my problem about how I got food poisoning from Vivo Italian Kitchen and she was a bit suspicious until I got to the point of my story that there was an employee named Josh who made my entire week feel better. She smiled and her eyes widened and said, "Oh my- you're that girl? Josh couldn't stop talking about you two. Wow, it's so very nice to meet you!" Then a few other of the employees walked into the room including the manager. I talked to manager about Josh being a great person and showing us around and the manager smiled and said, "I'm glad our team made your day feel better today." Then Roberta-Anne asked what she can help me with and she started helping me with getting tickets. She said, "Oh yes, I see here you never used the express pass at all so she gave me one express pass free to use then paid for the express pass for Ben. We walked out of there and headed back to the hotel. We got into our room, put our PJs on and went to bed.
