Disneyland FanGirl Moment

So what happens when a 46 year old nerdie girl runs into a pair of stormtroopers?  She gets down right giddy.  Giddy! And starts whispering like no one else has noticed them.  Me, "guys!  guys!  stormtroopers! look stormtroopers.  oh my gooooooood! it's stormtroopers!  riiiiiiight thereeeeeee!"
Kid, "mom, the line is moving"
Me, "huh? oooooh...... there they go!"

And if that wasn't enough....

In Innoventions, there's an Avengers display so we went to check it out.  There was really cool Iron Man suits and props from the movies and while the boys and John were lined up to try on the Iron Man suit via video display, I noticed a bunch of Thor weapons at the Treasures of Asgard. Oh, gotta check that out and next thing I knew I had wandered to the front of a queue just in time to have a happy Disney employee smile at me and say, "You're first for the next group."  "Oh! I am? Cool!" I haven't been first in line for anything!!  So I waited and waited and wondered what was on the other side of the door.  At one point a couple of ladies stopped and asked me what the line was for and I had to say,  "Honestly, I don't know.  But there's a lot of people lined up, aren't there? And I'm the first so I'm staying."  Then we all laughed.  After a while longer, I and my group (I considered them my group because I was the designated Line Leader, after all) were escorted into the next room with more Thor paraphernalia and I had pretty much decided that we were going to be watching some Asgardenian video.  Then Anthony Hopkins voice welcomes us and opens up the Bifrost, just for us, and the side door opens and holy shit! There's Thor.  It's Thor!  IT'S THOR and I'm jumping and clapping and squealing like a little girl at a One Dimension concert.  Thor does his Thor things and then the guide says, "Now you can have pictures taken with Thor, starting with this side of the line" and he points STRAIGHT AT ME!!!!   So now I'm jumping over to Thor and squealing some more and asking the guy next to me to take my picture and Thor asks my name and says, "my, your excited"  and then boom:


It's me and Thor,  Motherfucker!!

Then I bounced out and bought my very own Thor to take home.


But he was missing his hammer.
John, "Look, he's broken.  Just like you."
Me, "I know! Thor! Thor! Thor! Thor! Thor!"
