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!
