Day 75 - March 27, 2009

They left today :(. We all packed up and went down and got dinner at the Bakery at Coronado. While we were eating breakfast we saw a baby alligator in the lake outside. It was cool! After breakfast they left :( and I had to go to work....Then I went home and relaxed...

Day 74 - March 26, 2009

I had to work today so mama drove me. I had to be there from 8-4:30. While I was at work they went to Downtown Disney and the Pool. We had tickets for Cirque du Soliel at 6 so we went to Downtown Disney as soon as I got off. The show was AMAZING and everyone really enjoyed it. After the show we ate dinner at Raglan Road....again. Then we went to sleep.

Day 73 - March 25, 2009

MAGIC KINGDOM. There were no extra magic hours this morning so we got to sleep in a little bit. We were still at the park really early. First and foremost we went and got fastpasses for Space Mountain. Then we got cream cheese pretzels for breakfast, yumm. Me and Trish rode Buzz Lightyear while mom and Aunt Carolyn were still eating. They witnessed a little girl get so angry she crumbled her muffin...anyways. We watched the Laugh Floor and they used my joke! "Whats the best time to go to the dentist?? TOOTH-HURTY!!" It was exciting. Next we went to Adventureland and rode the Jungle Cruise! They all thought that was funny. Next on the list was Pirates of the Caribbean. Thats always a favorite. Then we ate Tacos for lunch and they were really good. We then went on Splash Mountain where none of us really got wet, and then we rode Big Thunder Mountain. By the way, Mama was terrified on EVERY ride we went on, no matter what it was. Then we went on the Haunted Mansion, followed by Space Mountain. By this time it was only 2 o'clock so we headed to Hollywood Studios. The wait for Tower of Terror said it was 70 minutes but it only took 15! Patricia was absolutely terrified and mama and Aunt Carolyn didnt go. It was funny. She was shaking she was so scared. After that we went and got in line for Rock'n'Rollercoaster which only took 30 minutes, not 90.... Mama's face was so priceless on that ride we had to buy the picture. After those 2 rides we left Disney World and ate dinner at Maccaroni Grill. After dinner we headed back to Hollywood to watch Fantasmic which was PACKED. We literally got the last seats and we were there over an hour early. Ridiculous. They all really enjoyed the show though. Then it was bedtime. We were all exhausted every night.

Day 72 - March 24, 2009

We woke up early once again and went to EPCOT. We got there for extra magic hours and went straight to Soarin' and got fastpasses. We then went and rode TestTrack which was fun. Mama and Aunt Carolyn had to skip a bunch of people to catch up with me and Trish haha. It was fun. After that we waited in a really long line to see Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald. At least we got all the pictures taken care of at once. After that really long line we went and rode Soarin' which they thought was really cool (and it is). I would never wait 2 hours for it though.... By the time we finished all that it was lunch time, so we ate lunch at The Land. After lunch we did the "Living with the Land" ride which is really cool. It shows how they grow the produce they use in EPCOT. Really interesting and informative. After we did that we headed to the World Showcase where we spent most of the day. We started in Canada and ended up in Mexico at somepoint haha. We watch the circleovision movie 'O Canada' which was really cool and made me want to go to Canada. We walked around Great Britain, watched the movie in France, saw the movie in China, rode the ride in Mexico, rode Maelstrom in Norway and watched their movie....Basically we did everything possible in the World Showcase..... I was tired at the end of that day. We walked ALOT. We ate dinner at the BierGarten in Germany. It was a buffet with entertainment. It was good food and neat. They played music. After dinner we went to Italy to wait on the fireworks. After the fireworks we went back to the hotel.

Day 71 - March 23, 2009

We woke up bright and early to go to Animal Kingdom for Extra Magic Hours! We got there right about when it was opening, got their tickets and started to have fun. Mama, Aunt Carolyn, nor Trish had ever been to Animal Kingdom so they were pretty excited. We took pictures in front of the tree of life then went to get fast passes for Expedition Everest. We got the passes and then realized it was a really short wait (10 minutes) so we should just go ahead and ride. All 4 of us rode it...which is pretty impressive if you ask me. Mama was terrified but it was hilarious. Aunt Carolyn enjoyed it too. After Everest we went and rode the safari. They all thought that was really cool and we got to see quite a few animals. It was fun. After the safari, me and Trish went and rode Everest again while Mama and Aunt Carolyn just walked around a bit. We met back up with them and watched the Mother Nature stilt walker person lady haha. Next we went and got pictures with Tigger, Pooh, and Eeyore! After that we headed to go watch the Finding Nemo musical which was actually really good. I was impressed. We ate lunch at the barbecue place in DinoLand and that was really yummy too. Then we rode Dinosaur...I forgot how bumpy it was and I thought one of us was going to puke...but we didnt haha. Also at some point that day we watched the 3-D show "It's Tough to be a Bug" which they also enjoyed. On the way out of the park Patricia and I got caricatures!! They are really cute. After we finished Animal Kingdom we headed to Hollywood Studios which was PACKED. We couldnt ride anything. We saw Indiana Jones and Beauty and the Beast and then headed to Magic Kingdom for dinner and fireworks. We ate dinner at Cosmic Rays in Tommorowland then went and rode "Its a Small World" and the Teacups because there werent any lines. Then we started heading to the exit so we could watch the fireworks and leave. Then we got on the monorail and headed back to Hollywood Studios, where the car was. We were supposed to do extra magic hours there too, but Patricia was in a bad mood and everyone was tired so we left.

Day 70 - March 22, 2009

I had another 8-2 shift and then I went home, showered, got dressed and waited for Mama to call and say they were here. I met them at the hotel where I got to open my birthday presents early :). I got a new camera, some really cute dresses and a top, some really nice jewelry, and some cookbooks! It was a wonderful birthday. After the presents were opened we headed to Downtown Disney where we went to eat at Raglan Road with Roxy, Me, Mama, Aunt Carolyn, and Trish. They really liked the restaurant. Afterwards we walked around downtown disney where they discovered the soap store. We stayed in there forever haha. Then we went back to the hotel and went to sleep because we had to wake up early for the next morning!

Day 69 - March 21, 2009

Of course I worked at Tomorrowland again from 8-2. Its a nice shift so I shouldnt complain so much. After work I came home and packed for Mama's visit and made doggy cupcakes :) they looked like little Westies. I was proud of them.

Day 68 - March 20, 2009

Today I worked from 8-2 at Tomorrowland again...but after work I met my friend Holly at Epcot where we went to see the Flower and Garden Festival. The flowers were really cool of course, but seeing a Davy Jones concert was pretty darn cool! Roxy met us after the show and we ate Chinese food. Holly had to leave so me and Roxy left also. Later that night we went and saw I Love You, Man which was really funny.

Day 67 - March 19, 2009

The fun is over for now...back to work. I worked from 8-4:30 at of course Tomorrowland. After work I napped and tried to recover from the previous couple days.

Day 66 - March 18, 2009

This morning I woke up early and headed to the beach. It took twice as long to get there as it should have.....but thats ok. I missed the rain and that was a good thing. We went with Jon's brother Josh and his family for a walk down the beach and that was nice, although it did make my ankle sore. After the beach walk, we ate a sandwich at their condo and then headed to the Oceanographic Society to feed stingrays which was a little intimidating but fun! After we finished all of that, we went down to the pool and swam for a while until dinner where we went to a seafood place that was really good.

Day 65 - March 17, 2009

Today we woke up and went to hang out by the pool and hot tub for a while, which we also did the night before I just forgot the mention it. After pool, we checked out of the hotel and headed to Downtown Disney where we ate at the Earl of Sandwich and took silly pictures around. Then Pierre and Leah headed off to Destin and Jon and I went to play puttputt at the Winter Summerland miniature golf course. I got 2 hole in ones and Jon only got 1. I beat him :). After an afternoon of puttputt we headed to Downtown Disney to walk around, hang out, and eat dinner. We ate at the House of Blues and it was yummy. After dinner Jon headed to the Beach were I would meet him the next day.

Day 64 - March 16, 2009

Today I had another doctor's appointment in the morning, so Jon and I went to that while Leah and Pierre went for a run. The doctor took about 20 minutes which was good, I didnt want to have to wait all day. He told me I needed physical therapy. Then we went back and picked up the other 2 and headed to Magic Kingdom! First stop was the Chapeau because Leah and Pierre wanted their ears with their names on them! They totally messed up Pierre's....very, very crooked and they told him they wouldnt fix it. I would have complained but me and Jon were running to get fast passes at Space Mountain, which had all been given out for the day. After all that we headed to Adventureland where we went to the Tiki Room. Next we went to Pirates of the Caribbean. There was a pretty long wait so we ate our sandwiches which were delicious. We finally got on the ride and everyone enjoyed it. While leaving Adventureland, this guy ran into my achilles heel with his stupid stroller. It peeled back skin, bruised instantly, and HURT. Oh well. We made our way to Splash Mountain where we waited in a rather long line. Good thing I had fastpasses for Big Thunder Mountain immediately aftewards. We had alot of fun on splash mountain, where again....Leah and Pierre got wet. It was really funny. Then to dry off we rode Big Thunder Mountain. After Frontierland we went to Liberty Square where we rode the Steamboat, mainly to just rest for a few minutes. Then we stood in line for the Haunted Mansion where a really stupid lady accused us of skipping her....she was dumb. It was funny. They all thought Haunted Mansion was cool. Then we went over to Fantasyland where we saw the Mad Hatter! We took a picture with him and then went to ToonTown to see Minnie and Mickey's houses. The last thing of the day was It's a Small World which I tricked them into going on haha. After we finished everything, except for Space Mountain which never had a shorter line than 2 hours, we went to Giordonno's Pizza for dinner. Leah and I got balloon hats! We just relaxed and ate pizza, all of us exhausted. Then we went to the hotel and crashed again.

Day 63 - March 15, 2009

First day at the parks!! Woohoo! So we woke up the next morning and realized Leah and Pierre were still asleep. Turns out, the never got off of central time haha. We woke them up and we all ate breakfast and packed our sandwiches for the day. We went to Animal Kingdom first and immediately got fastpasses for Everest. Then we went and watched the 3d show It's Tough to be a Bug which everyone thouroughly enjoyed. After the show we went to ride Roxy's safari! We got thru the line quickly, ate our sandwiches, then waited for Roxy's truck to arrive. We saw so many animals that day. Hippos, bongos, giraffes, cheetas, flamingos, ocapi cattle, rhinos of 2 varieties, lots of elephants! It was alot of fun! After the safari we went and looked at the gorillias and saw them fighting!! It was really scarry but cool at the same time! They were running and grunting and it was amazing. Next we went on Kali River Rapids where Leah and Pierre were absolutely soaked. It was funny how wet they got. To dry off, we went on Expedition Everest which everyone enjoyed. We all had alot of fun. After all that we went and watched the Festival of the Lion King! It was cool, but a little long. After doing all that at Animal Kingdom, which was alot!, we headed to Hollywood Studios. It just so happened that my roommate Courtney was standing outside of Tower of Terror and gave us fast passes to Rock'n'rollercoaster! So we rode that and everyone said it was their favorite ride! Next we went over to Tower, but Courtney went on a break....but luckily out of thin air, this guy handed Jon 4 fastpasses!! So we didnt have to wait in line for EITHER ride!! It was amazing!! Those were the only 2 things we wanted to do at Hollywood Studios so we decided to head to Epcot! Right after we walked thru the gate a photopass guy told us that the shuttle launch was in 23 minutes!! We had NO idea!! So we headed over to the attraction Mission:Space and sat on a grassy hill and waited for the shuttle launch. It was REALLY cool. You could even hear the shuttle!!! It was amazing to see the trail over the ride. We took lots of pictures. Right after we saw the boosters separate and couldnt see anything else of the shuttle, we rode the ride! We got to feel a fraction of what it felt like! AMAZING!! That was Pierre's favorite part of the trip I think. After we finished all of that we walked to China and ate dinner, which was REALLY good. Right as we finished our meal, the fireworks started! We had a wonderful, serendipitous Disney Day! After we finished Disney for the day we had to go to Walmart to pick up more lunch supplies then we went to bed.

Day 62 - March 14, 2009

Today I worked at Pirates of the Caribbean again from 10-5:30. Jon was supposed to get here around 5 and I met them after work at the hotel. I got there and we all hung out by the pool for a while before we decided to go change for dinner. We went to Downtown Disney for dinner, forgetting it was a Saturday. We had to wait a little while for our dinner, but we ended up eating at Wolfgang Puck's which was REALLY good. I was impressed. I will definitely go back there. We went to bed early because we have a big day tomorrow!

Day 61 - March 13, 2009

Friday the 13th! I dont believe in those superstitions so it didnt bother me 1 bit. I worked from 10-5:30 at Pirates of the Caribbean. I dont mind it so much here. Its funny because where I take my break, I see the Jack Sparrow character walk by occasionally. He really does look JUST like Johnny Depp. It was pretty cool. After I got off dinner I cleaned my room and packed for Jon, Leah, and Pierre's visit. We were going to have an apartment inspection while they were in town so I prepared for that tonight, then went to bed. 1 more day of work until Jon, Leah, and Pierre are here!

Day 60 - March 12, 2009

Today I worked a long shift, from 8-4:30 at Tomorrowland. We all know how much I hate Tomorrowland. It was the same old thing, hanging clothes and ink tagging hats by myself. Oh well. Ive learned that they dont care how long I take my break for....so I take longer breaks than I should but who cares. I do more work than some of the people that actually work there. I also had to go by Coronado Springs for Mama and Aunt Carolyn because they come next week! For dinner I went to Downtown Disney with Roxy and her aunt and cousins and we ate at the Earl of Sandwhich which is DELICIOUS. It is actually run by the family of the first Earl of Sandwhich who invented the sandwhich. Man they are good and only $5.75! Yummy! After dinner we walked around a bit and a DJ was giving dance lessons and we all looked goofy and tried to learn "Thriller". It was alot of fun :)

Day 59 - March 11, 2009

Today was a boring work day. I worked from 10-4 at Toontown. Today I had a friend however, a squirrel!! A mama squirrel had babies in the "cage" (a storage area that consists of a chainlink fence and a roof) and I saw her multiple times that day. It was funny to watch her, she was so cute. But thats all I have to report from March 11. My ankle still hurts.

Day 58 - March 10, 2009

So I havent updated in a while, but have no fear! I wrote things down! So today I was off of work so I woke up and went with Roxy to Epcot to meet her aunt and cousins. We ate lunch in Mexico and it was yummy! Enchiladas with tomatillo sauce :). We mainly walked around the world showcase, not doing much of anything. We rode the ride in Mexico, but I think that was the only ride we did that day. It was really hot that day and really sunny so we only stayed a couple of hours. I did however relive a childhood moment today. I bought a sno-cone in Japan and ate it in front of the Japanese pavillion just like I did when I was little at Disney World. It was the same flavor and everything :) honeydew melon!

Day 57 - March 8, 2009

Off of work yahoo.  Although I didnt do anything to interesting.  Oh and I lied earlier..I made those cupcakes on the 6th...and I only made 12.  Anyways.  I woke up late because of daylight savings time.  When I did wake up around 10 I did my laundry and waited by the pool for it to finish.  I did get a tad bit pink but nothing terrible.  Later Maggie had to run some errands so I tagged along.  We went to Animal Kingdom costuming and Coronado Springs so that she could show her ID.  Then we went to publix and got stuff to make cupcakes.  This time I made them look like mashed potatoes.  Also way cool.  Later Maggie and I went to dinner with her brother Nathan at Red Lobster.  After dinner we went to the Virgin Megastore and looked around.  We got home and I was lazy and did absolutely nothing.

Day 56 - March 7, 2009

Today I worked from 10-6:30.  Blah.  I was supposed to do towels so I took several different books....but of course it was too good to be true.  I ended up not doing towels and working at the Emporium and hanging up princess costumes. I was covered in glitter by the time I was finished.  After work I came home and me, Maggie, and Roxy went to Walmart and I got stuff to make cupcakes.  I decorated them to look like Van Gough's Starry, Starry Night.  They were way cool.
