Sunday night..Matt arrived!! We got checked into a Dalmations room at All Star Movies, which being low budget was nice enough, great for 2 people, not so good if u were a whole family in there. We went to Downtown Disney, Planet Hollywood yay! I had the fried lasagne and oreo milkshake again, lush!
Day 1, Monday, we did AK, we managed to get a lot done in a few hours including the Safari twice, during which the second time we got stuck behind rhinos in the road for 10 mins! I finally got my french toast sticks (not the best though) And a mickey bar ice cream-like a chocice (good). We did Everest twice and Dinosaur twice and the Lion King show. Then we did the rapids woo! I also got my face painted :D and we got some photopass pics taken too. We wondered by the animals and saw gorillas, and ate at Yak and yeti where I had red seafood curry yum!
We went home about 6 and chilled all night, watching tele, such a novelty! I wondered down to the hotel food court and got chilli cheese fries n watched CSI Miami, heaven. Then the next day was my GRADUATION!! Mickey style! It was super sunny! I got a taxi over about 11.30 and grabbed some cookies to cheer up and got my Virgo pin (thanks Dan and Lesley!) Then I headed over to Chatham field with Jules, Jen and Bet! We signed in, got our Ears, Certificate and a gift- a memory box! Then we got photos with Minnie, Mickey and Goofy with their graduation outfits, and had the bbq; burgers (and hotdogs and chicken) and pulled pork! Then corn-on-the-cob, mac & cheese and some nice lemonade. There was a disco but it was too hot to dance :( so we went in the photo booth instead then we got some freebies as we left; a mickey graduation aerial topper and a pen and a licence plate thing. We changed in the room and headed to the Poly to celebrate! We did the slide, drank lemonade and swam, explored the beach and sunbathed, was so good!!
The family came to pick me up was good to see them! They said I was brown haha :) We checked in at the boardwalk, so nice! There were fancy truffles on the bed! And the balcony view is right over the boardwalk! I stole Hollys nice white dress and wore my grad ears and we went to drink wine and eat cheese and nibbles in club level, I had wine and apples in caramel and duck samosas! We walked over to HS and met matt and I managed to get my ears embroidered (it was a magic moment as they were full and he'd turned everyone else away!) Then we did Star tours, which was a new one, with bounty hunters. Dinner was at Sci Fi dine in, lovely. There were girls out front doing Disney trivia til we went in too and we won stickers! Then we did Great movie ride and watched the Monsters party, and then went to Fantasmic YAY!
Wednesday: We got the bus home then woke up early, grabbed pain au chocolat from the food court at All Stars and headed to Universal! We had a very lucky day and fitted a lot in, only rubbish thing was Matt didn't feel too well and had to miss out some stuff :(.. We did Rip ride (all evanescence) and Mummy with short queues, headed over to the islands- Rapids (bit wet), then Ripsaw Falls (on the front, got absolutely soaked!!) Then Harry potter single rider where some lovely guy who might have been on IT show or something gave us 2 express passes for IoA, then we did dueling dragons fire then ice (front). Then lunch! Mythos, salmon and wasabi mash. Matt's was really nice; beef truffle butter and spicy fried onions. Coconut creme dessert again! Then hulk twice (front w/ holly) and Dr Doom, Holly was shaking haha bless her. Then back to universal, MIB then all the family went on Transformers inc mum!! We met the minions, then went home.
Thursday: Today Matt and I headed to Blizzard beach!! I'd never been before so I've finally done all 6 parks. And I finally got to use the new touchpoints!!! (For a 55 dollar fee of course...silly blockout dates) I tried a Pretzel hotdog (ew) and a ball of fried ice cream (yum) and we went on the lazy river, some rapids, a Tobbagan race and a family raft which we got to get a ski style chair lift up to! Then Matt went off to summit plummet while I sunbathed and read my Miranda book, ate the ice cream and napped! And I saw Goofy in his swim gear.
That night was Ohanas!! Full!!! I ate the same stuff as last time and we had a Sunset cocktail! Was really nice.
Friday: in the morning we had our Crystal Palace breakfast :) matt and mum both bailed though! Then they all got me sorcerers cards and should have had 6 packs but she gave us 10!! So exciting haha I only need 3 now. We did Thunder, Space and I finally got to see Push the talking trash can! Then we had the good idea to use some QS meal plans at Be our Guest for lunch. It wasn't as good as dinner but better than other QS. We sat in the Mysterious ballroom! I never noticed how the portrait changes before! We got a Splash FP and got splashed by splash (it was so hot) then Pirates, Space again where Holly found a stitch pin on her seat, then Monsters Inc and I got a limited time magic Mike Wazowski ice cream sundae! We did Splash then Matt and I got the boat to HS and drew buzz then ate at Pizza planet!! Played Hummer racing (I lost) and the light game :) We did the Muppets show then ToT then went thru all the shops Pin trading! Glad he's a loser like me :D
Saturday: we were up earlyish where we discovered that Matt had to leave at 845 am tomorrow and his flight was at 12 not 6, gutted!! We headed to HS, got breakfast at starring rolls (queue grr!) And did Backlot tour, RnR front row!! Then another drawing class (they're addictive, Disney is magical, here I'm an artist!) We learned voice of Eeyore is also the voice of Optimus Prime ha. Then I wasn't listening as they announced who we were drawing; Eeyore!!! I was so excited I nearly fell off the swivel stool (which I always scoff at them for warning us about) then I ordered my own personalised drawing from a real Disney artist :) we then got churros and choc sauce from Blair (love u dude!) And watched Lights Motors Action. We got some Photopass pics and Matt bought me a balloon yay! Then we headed back to change, and got a bus and boat to boardwalk! Beaches n cream!! We got fries (lush! The best around here in my opinion) Then onion rings and a huge hot fudge mud slide!! We explored both hotels and pintraded, then met family and got wine and nibbles in clublevel then read by pool! It began to rain so we read by the boardwalk, changed and went to HS for our long awaited use of the Toy story FPs. I was best in car, 126,00! We picked up Eeyore pic then headed to the fancy Jiko!! Apaz Johnny Depp eats here! Its at AK lodge Villas. We got refreshing handtowels scented with rosewater ha and the serviettes done for us! There was... Tandoori butter and bread, Wild boar tenderloin in trufflebutter (and chakalaka) and peri peri chicken flatbread starters. A Cocktail that was too strong, oops! Then Duck with potato spinach masala, braised short ribs (yum) pistachio chocs (free, not nice) and a green tea and choc thing and mango coconut white choc cheesesake! Our server kept saying 'Please enjoy!!' Haha. It only cost 2 DDP's each and another 50 dollars...We explored the pool and watched giraffes and zebras a few meters away in the dark! So cool!! Matt left early and we woke at 7, it was really sad!!
Then Dad picked me up for Brekky on club level then we headed out to get a suitcase at the other outlets (so now I've been to both of Florida's malls and both outlet malls!) And I got a lovely grey kipling one, matches my Eeyore! We went for lunch at Bubba Gump at citywalk, I had nice coconut shrimp but the service was bad. Then we ran to flat to grab stuff and chuck it all in the case and then to the hotel where I had to change and go!
It was good to be back at work but I was nervous. Before I started work I went to get ice cream cookie sandwich with DDP snack and bumped into Dan and Cherie. Then we clocked in and had the meeting, Jules and Cherie got escort, jel! I got Confectionary 1, done before, ok, and Jules helped me set up. My number 2 was an EHH guy whose normal position is All star movies housekeeping, where I just checked out of!!
Jules and I played ringtoss with the kids which was nice, it was really good to see her! I got my first questions about the silly royal baby and she pointed at my badge (says cambridge) and said congrats on the new addition and I thought what is she on about?! Then I realised and gushed some rubbish about how excited we all are (not!)
I also helped a family with some park questions and turned to see the mother taking a photo of my chatting with the lil girl upon which I turned bright red and stayed red the whole night haha! A guest also said he thought I was Brazilian...interesting, I'm not that tanned!
The fireworks I was up in Hub and was stressful as the path got blocked at one point and I had to walk guests all the way through clearing it and shouting!! 1st parade went ok but then round 2 wasn't great, I was by myself which I didn't complain about but was worrying about how to do 4 ropes and 4 stanchions by myself but got on and did it (bright red and sweaty!) And noone came to help me atall, even though a family of guests asked if they could help me bless them!!! However when I saw that not only did noone help but they'd taken the cart in too and all gone off to do the cheese, I got upset :(
I was glad to be done and got the bus home to yacht and beach and walked around an empty boardwalk home, love it here.
Monday; my day off with the family!! Today laura and holly and I headed to the pool and went on the slide! I stopped at club level after for refreshments, they had ice tea lemonade, crisps cookies fish-shaped sweets and choc raisins! Then we headed to Epcot for lunch at Coral Reef where we discovered I no longer get cast discount damn. The starter n dessert were good, creamy lobster soup spicy shrimp and jack daniels and baileys choc mousse! We did captain EO then laura and I went to try the weird cokes and walked around the world. We stopped by Beaches n Cream for a coke float then chilled in the room because there was lightning. It has been storming since then all evening. So we went to Mall at Millenia where I went to Pink and to Apple where I want to buy everything!! Its too rainy for EMH tonight so we got pizza from boardwalk and are having an early night.
