Hey if the crown fits..

Alrighty well...last Saturday was Merida's coordination. Now, for those of you who dont know who Merida is shame on you. She is from Brave. (Which confession. I'm not the biggest fan of-mostly because i'm too hopeless of a romantic and I need a love story and that movie had none. NONE! Where is a dashing Scottish prince for her?) ANYWAY-that was a lot of fun. Merida is officially a Princess. My favorite people from the Ellen show Sophia Grace and Rosie were there and they sang a little song and Debby Ryan from the Disney Channel was there filming something. Olympic medalist Gabby Douglas and her mom talked during the ceremony so I mean..fun day of celebrities. Of course the real celebrity that day was Merida. :)After the coordination my friend Stephanie, her friend Jason, and I set off to go play in the park. Jason seems to know everyone and their dog so he got us like a billion fast passes for Splash Mountain. We only rode it 3 times though. Stephanie then had to go to work so I went back to the apartment. I was home for about two hours before Kayla, Barb and i set off to MK once again to watch Wishes for Kayla's last time since she is leaving in just a few days. We got our graduation ears em-bordered (had to run up to my store for that of course) and passed one of my favorite cast members Michael who was on his glow cart infront of the castle. Might I add this night I had decided I would do a British accent all night long and unlike my roommates-Michael appreciated it. So anyway then we headed over to Thunder but it was down (it had actually gone down when I was there earlier and was down the rest of the night) there was a cast member there holding the giant SMILE sign so I got a picture with him-never breaking out of my accent might I add. Then I asked Barb if the picture looked alright and he was like "well of course you do" and I was like Oh my gosh you are so sweet. Haha it's the accent man. Not only does it get girls when the guys do it-apparently it picks up boys for the girls! :) Anyway we watched some Wishes, rode some rides, had some fun, visited that cute little mouse named Mickey. the usual.
Sunday off to Pirates I went for a stock shift. After Pirates I came home and then was like ya know what...i'm gonna go get my Princess bag signed. I was planning on doing it the next day but decided I would go get some signatures in so I wouldn't have so many to do on Monday. So Kayla came with me and we hit up the Theater and Ariels grotto. I didn't need Rapunzels signature cause she isnt on my bag but she was the cutest Rapunzel ever! She was jumping all over the place and what not. I loved her! Then I moved on and got Aurora's and Cinderella's signature. We then rushed over to Ariels grotto and man I get so excited to meet her each time. She was so cute as well. She looked at the bag and was like "AH THERE I AM!" haha then we rode some rides and away we went. The next I got up early to finish the quest to get the bag signed. I hit up Jasmine and Aladdin and dang let me say this Aladdin was HILARIOUS! He was tapping on my shoulder so I would look the other way and saying the funniest stuff. He impersonated Snow White, Merida, and Jasmine and I was dying. He taught me some fun facts and when he noticed i didn't have Snow White's signature yet he was like "Uh oh. Dont tell her I made fun of her" hahaha. Love Aladdin. Jasmine was so fun too. I then went over to Epcot to hit up Snow White and Belle. I had been waiting for this moment to meet Belle for a long time. This is because it's the only place to meet her and......She's in her blue dress which I just love and adore and just ah! She was so cute! Before I left she was like "can I have a hug?" And in my head im like what the..i've never seen a princess ask anyone over the age of like 8 for a hug. I then naturally had to take a stroll through England and Mary Poppins and Alice were out so I naturally had to get a picture with them. I then swung by the Grand Floridian because that was something I told myself I had to do was go inside it. It's amazing and I want to stay there one day! Later that night I went back to Epcot to watch their firework show because I actually hadn't yet. And i'm sorry but I had been told Illuminations was better than Wishes but those people were on crack! NO WAY! Wishes kicks trash! It was a good show though and I stood by a cute boy so brownie points!
Today Kayla and I hit up Animal Kingdom in the morning. We rode Everest a few times, met Pochantos, rode Dinosaur (which made me miss Indiana Jones in Disneyland) did the Safari and watched the Lion King show which was awesome! I came home, took a nap, then went to Hollywood Studios with Kristen and some of her friends. We did some rides, ate some food, and watched the beloved Fantasmic!
Sadly I dont have another day off till next Tuesday and it will be my last day off! :( Next week is a killer week with 60 hours and i'm in Adventureland again. I'm actually really sad this time because with the end of my program near I want to be in my homeland so bad-plus all the friends i've made in Adventureland do the glow carts!
-Alright i'm sorry this was such a long post! Thats what happens when I have to cover four days off! Cant believe I only have one more schedule to get and it's only half a week. Ahh.
Getting the bag signed

Cute princesses! 

Such a fun last couple of days off!!

Days Off

Alright so I had a few days off and for once I had a Sunday and a Monday off. It was so nice to have Sunday off-I finally got my beloved Sunday nap! After I found out my friend would be working in Magic Kingdom and I made a quick trip to visit her as she was working with the princesses. I got some sweet treatment and didnt have to wait in the line-i mean VIP status. Anyway I got to chat with Rapunzel, Aurora and Cinderella. Pretty fun. As I walked out the Electric parade was starting so I watched that for a couple minutes and realized the wait to see Mickey was only 5 minutes. so I went to see him as well. I mean duh. It's Mickey! Jokes were passed around from the attendants that I got dressed from Mickeys closet that day considering I was wearing matching red pants....i mean guilty I guess. haha
Anyway today was Monday which means my favorite day of the week now because...volleyball! Oh man it is such a blast! Obviously. The weather was beautiful and everyone brought their A-Game. Okay not really. The ball kept dropping at our feets and we would just look at it and be like "okay...and now we start a real game" next serve "okay..and now we start the real game" haha its so great! After Volleyball I came home and got ready for the day while the roommates were at Grocery bingo. Then afterwords Alex, Barb, Kristen and me headed over to Hollywood Studios. We were able to walk straight on to Tower of Terror (perks of Alex working there) and then wandered over to the backlot tour. We waited in line and made it to the very front of the line before we got cut off and had to wait for the next group. Alex begged for them to let us in because she had to get to work later and wanted to make sure she wouldnt be pushing the time. The guy ended up having us star in the show where we like reinact some a Pearl Harbor scene. Mike-our acting instructor I guess you could say (and totally a babe. I didnt really hear what he said cause I was too busy staring at his face) Anyway while Mike instructed us what to do he told Barb for her role all she had to do is sit in the chair, talk on the phone, and dont look left. Anyway he takes us to our stations and Barb got to do her scene first. Alex, Kristen and I were waiting on the boat while Barb got to do her scene. Suddenly we see this huge wave of water head straight for her booth and see her jump out of the booth saying "I quit" The three of us almost lost it then. Like no joke I thought I was for sure gonna pee my pants I was laughing so hard. Suddenly it was our time to shine. Alex was the captain and Kristen and I was the deck members. (also known as the Comic relief) It was so fun but suddenly water was flying everywhere and I remember grabbing Kristen in like a death grip hug and not letting go until the firing stopped. Then the guy in the microphone was like "but wait..they arent done" and I just grabbed my hood and like crouched down..trying so hard not to get wet. It was hilarious. We were all laughing so hard. The cast who worked with us was very entertained by us as well! As we were done one cast member was like "who was the mechanic?" And we point to Barb and he was like "what happened to not standing up?" hahaha it was so funny! As we left we passed the Hannah Montana the movie chicken coop. Pretty legit. Just saying! Be jealous.
We then ate and all the shows were over by this time of night so we decided to go try out the Movie ride or something like that. We asked the people how long the wait was and they said half hour and we were like oh no we arent waiting in that and so the guy was like "just go the backway" and we were like what are you taling about? And so the girl took us like through a backdoor straight to the front of the line. We were like "do we scream CP or something?" and she was like no we had no idea. hahaha man our luck was just on a roll or something.
After this we went to get a seat for Fantasmic. Once we got a seat Barb and I ran over to Tower of Terror once more to visit Alex working. We got Alex's elevator and it was hilarious! Some drunk guy was in the elevator with us and while waiting he was like Oh i saw you hug your girlfriend you were like (insert drunk guy hugging us here) haha seriously hugged us. Then he was asking where we were from and when I said Utah he was like hmm? Gold. Thats what Utah has right? and another guy in his party was like Mormons. They have mormons. And the drunk guy was like oh ya like you guys have those huge like music places (Im not sure if he was referring to temples or like the conference center or something) but either way I said yes. And another girl in the party was like shes probably Mormon and I was like yeah I am and the drunk guy was like oh ya..you guys and your husbands. I was like oh no...just one. We just get one husband. By then the conversation ended because Alex came to load us up. We were having a blast giving Alex a hard time but she just fired back at us obviously. Such a blast.
Then off to Fantasmic we go. It was similar to Disneylands a little except I do like they have an amphitheater  for it but there was different parts like they had a Pocahontas scene which I thought was rad. And on the boat at the end they had Meg from Hercules which I thought was like rad times 9. After Fantasmic we headed home. Such a fun and successful day I would say!






Had to post some Fantasmic...this music NEVER EVER gets old. La la love it to pieces!!!!
