I felt like I was cheating on Disney the two times I have gone to Universal in Florida, while we are staying at WDW. Universal Florida was a lot better than I ever remember California being. They've been doing the fingerprints in WDW for well over a decade, maybe nearly fifteen years now. So, you can credit Disney with that too! There really had a fun day in this chapter. I loved it. The way their ILY's came out . . . her saying it and shocking herself with it. Him saying it was real for him. Her admitting it was for her too. I effing loved that. I like that they are getting a hotel for the night. I am surprised, but I like it a lot. Next time you are at Universal, try the cotton candy. They make some of the very best. I have had grape and sour apple. I have only ever been able to find it at Universal. Disney seriously needs to get on that. ;)

Fun chapter. I like the way they are with each other. So open and honest, and so real. Well, communication is real in my world. Some couples are epic fail at it and they crumble and wonder why. These two don't sugar coat anything and they understand they both had serious relationships that fell apart so soon before they met. They also understand what they are starting to have with each other is a rarity and should be nurtured. I loved that Edward feels more with Bella than he had with Kate. That he told her as much. Nothing wrong with that. I was engaged for a couple years to my ex, before I realized I wanted out. Something was missing. I found it in spades with my husband. Passion, laughter, honesty, friendship and a very strong love. And, we knew instantly that it was so very different than anything we'd felt before. That is how I imagine Edward is feeling. Bella is getting there. I wish there was a way to box up the parts of her that hurt from the betrayed love Jasper and her shared. To be able to push it all aside. She will get there. Time heals all wounds and all that.

I love that they all went to DL while there. That Bella was invited along. Disney with a child is something quite different. We’ve taken our nieces and nephews at age of four to DL and when they were seven to WDW. All one at a time and their own trip with Auntie and Uncle. Sometimes with the rest of the family. I loved those trips. Hubs and I normally go it with friends or, just ourselves. We happily went the childfree route in life. I’m surprised that Rose let Emmett leave and go on HM while Henry napped. She’s the one that suggested to Edward and Bella to get away while the kid was napping. Unless she was just setting it up for her husband. What Edward should’ve done, was hang back even further from Emmett and Alice, then they get separated naturally from crowd placement.

That was absolutely a perfect gift for Edward. Plus, he adored it. At least Alice recognized the panic in Bella and came up to her. I’m very happy that Edward swept her away down the hall and to the safety of his room. I hope the family does not give her too much grief. At least Alice is out there with them. Perhaps she can wield in Emmett. What a hell of a way to meet the family.

Yikes she’s more scattered on her feelings than I thought she was. I knew that she wouldn’t turn off nine years of love like a switch on a wall. That’s not realistic. However, I didn’t know that she was waffling that much. It’s good to know that if Jasper had not been in the picture, that she would’ve been thrilled with Edward and their amazing connection. His romantic picnic lunch was very sweet. Especially since he apologized for dating her unknowingly. Too cute. I feel they made progress in this chapter. At least he knows and acknowledges her feelings for Jasper. Her blurting out that they should have sex . . . twice . . . was very funny.

I absolutely loved that she voiced her thoughts to him. That she didn’t just thank him for the fun day and walk away to think on her own. She did still take the time to think but, she let him know what is going on in her head. It was fun that he said he didn’t mind that she thought she’d kiss him again. Was smart enough to not say anything, when she said she may invite him. Also, he was smart enough to not bug her and waited her out. Not sure how I feel that he called his ex to ask her what to do. That was crunchy. She had some good advice but, most of it was downright lousy. I hope he took something away from that. Hopefully, didn’t take heed of most of what she said. I really liked that he ask her to meet at the tide pools. Giving her an out to not join him as well. Loved that she’s still wearing his jacket.

I forgot to ask in the last chapter, when you brought up the swing dancing, I remembered they used to raise a stage up from under the ground in Tomorrowland, where they’d feature up and coming bands on Friday and Saturday nights. Do you know if they still do that? If that stage is still there and operational? I loved how all her thoughts were all over the place with her feelings. Yes, it is soon but, if you know, you know. They can’t deny how they both just fit together. Very surprise about that kiss. I hope neither regret it later. What a perfect first kiss setting for them. Overlooking the ocean they both love so much.

Both Pirates and Haunted Mansion go under the train tracks to the outside of DL where the ride actually sits. On Pirates, you go down that first drop and you are trust under the tracks. When you go back up the ramp at the end of Pirates, you are back inside the park. On HM you go down the elevator and walk under the tracks to get onto the ride. At the end, you take that escalator rampy thing and it puts you back into the park. When Walt Disney wanted to add the two rides, he had the team come up with a way to do this and one suggested that both rides be outside the park and shuttle people under the tracks both directions. In Florida, the HM has the room stretch, as it is not an elevator and another door opens across the way and you walk on the ride. Pirates has drops but, they are not for the necessary reasons of DL. In Paris, Big Thunder Mountain Railway is on what we call Tom Sawyer Island. You get on the ride where one would get on the Mark Twain and the coaster takes off under the water through a tunnel type cave and pops out on the island. Then, when the ride is over, you go back under the water and through again to pop up and get off the ride. Fascinating. Oh! Space Mountain in Paris has a loop. You take off just like California Screamin' and spin directly into a loop . . . in the dark! This was a very enjoyable chapter. I really like how much they get along. How much they both would probably fall in love with one another, if they didn't just fall out of their other relationships. I do not think Bella is pissed because she is jealous. I think she is pissed because Edward said he was okay at swing dancing and he was beyond just 'okay'.

Packing up all of Jasper's things had to be really rough for Bella. She did it though and that is a good step. There is no way I would've gone down into that sub. Nope! The boats, possibly. I really like the little things happening between Bella and Edward. I do believe they need to wait a good couple of months though. Otherwise, it would be a rebound for them both. Both were long term and both she and he were more in love with the ones that dumped them, than their exes were. They both need to heal, before they get together. Interesting that you had some people cranky with Alice. I saw it for what it was. Good advice from his sister. She will be on his side and the advice that was coming out made sense. However, someone must've ripped her heart out at one point, because it was rather jaded.

Alice she seems extremely jaded in the love department. It makes me wonder who wronged her so badly that she has the glass half empty outlook on love. It was funny that she mentioned Jasper and being her soulmate. Again, I don't want them to even meet if Bella and Edward have a shot here. On the flip side of that, it would prove to be very interesting reading her sudden love at first site one-eighty. Alice had very valid points. All of them. I do hope that Edward heeds some, yet not all, of them. That 'when you know, you know' stuff, it is real. Happened to my hubs and me. We knew by our third date in as many days that we'd found our forevers. It can and has happened.

I am glad that Bella cleared things up with Peter but, Peter should never have done that to Jasper. He was protecting Jasper, I get it. To run him through the ring, by running Bella through hell, is not a good friend. I like that both Edward and Bella have the ocean for their careers in common. It was absolutely wonderful that Edward said they would be laughing about this together, years from now, amongst their friends. I can see that. Them dancing to the music filtering through to outside was so fun. Alice made me laugh pretty hard there at the end.

Wow, what a nightmare to wake up to for them both. I can't believe Jasper would think the worst of her like that. Even if they'd only been together for one year, not nine. He knows her and he thinks this. Wow, they really are not right for each other at all. Even Edward, who'd only known her for a day, knew she was not like that. Very strange that Alice was defending Jasper right out of the box. She doesn't know him at all. I hope, for this story, that Alice and Jasper don't ever meet. Unless Bella and Edward don't get together. It would be downright weird and uncomfortable to have the man you dated for nine years, the one you made life plans with, in the same family as yours. Plus, he is moving back to Texas, so how would Alice meet him anyway?

Awwww, his proposal would have been perfect . . . but definitely not for Kate. From the little bit you've shared of her with us readers, she does not seem the type that would've liked a proposal at the end of World of Color. Bella? Yes. Kate, not so much. I hope, that when it comes time for him to propose to Bella, that he does it in front of the castle with the fireworks and doesn't try to re-use the idea he had for WoC. I love that they had such fun together. Their circumstances really could have made the day awful for them both. They persevered and that is good. I like that she suggested FB friends. I do hope for more for them, later.

Oh Edward, poor man. I adore all things Disney and have been a rather big fan my whole life. Thankfully, I've got my husband, who loved Disney just as much. When I met him twenty-eight years ago, he did not recall having been to Disney since he was four. We went together and his obsession was born. I am so proud of that. We used to go to Disneyland about four times a year, we live in the San Francisco area. We've purchased into the Disney Vacation Club in Walt Disney World and go every December for seven to eight nights. I can completely understand both Bella and Edward right now. Trying to keep their love for all things Disney alive, and separating it from the ones they loved to be with. I couldn't imagine even going to Disney without my husband . . . I know I couldn't. It would be beyond painful. Your characters are far stronger than I would be. Then again, they are not married with twenty-eight years of memories, just the two of you, swarming through their heads. Thankfully, they've found each other. They live close together too. Maybe, once their hearts heal, they can find each other and have a life together.

I remember this one from the contest. I placed it on my incomplete tbr list when you mentioned you would continue it eventually. I saw it was completed, when checking said list last week. Here I am. Since years together and he makes this decision for the both of them, without even talking to her. Wow. Apparently, she cared more than he did, or would've never done something so awful. I don't doubt his mother is ill, but what if his parents are using that to get exactly what they've wanted all along? Him back in Texas, taking over the business. With short hair. Poor Bella.
