So, 3 suitcases later and some miscellaneous things thrown into my brother and dad's suitcases we are here! We flew out of midway on Sunday and were to our hotel by around 3. We started the trip at Disney Hollywood Studios because this supposedly awesome ride Toy Story Mania was closing on Monday for refurbishment. We Got to the park got a much needed lunch after really only eating airplane peanuts and headed to the ride, which as you could probably guess had a 120 minute wait. It ended up being really only an hour 45, but it felt much longer. The ride was fun, but I am not sure that it was worth the wait. You basically sit in the ride and move through different arcade games. The games are basically shoot things down to get the most points. I think the wait was so long because of the pausing at each game station. I could see how kids would like it. The. We headed overt Rockin Roller Coaster which us a favorite in our family, which did not disappoint despite the hour wait. Then we ended our Hollywood Studios visit with my all time favorite Tower of Terror. Dad chickened out, but the rest of us enjoyed the ride.
I had forgotten about the crazy long lines that happen at Disney. I think when I was younger had so much fun that I didn't even notice the wait times.
Anyway, then we headed over to Magic Kingdom and basically walk right on the rides over there. I feel like it was weird to not start at the Magic Kingdom because it just did not feel like Disney. Then we headed home for some much needed rest.
It was funny because everywhere we went we noticed how many "merchandise" things are. There are so many places I could be working. I keep saying I can't wait until Wednesday when I will know my placement.
Another new development is that the roommate that I was matched with is no longer doing the program. So, I will be talking to people in line on Wednesday to find a roommate, which kind of makes me nervous. I have no idea who I am living with, where I am working, where I am living and tons of other things. I know that everything will become clear on Wednesday, but it just makes me anxious.
So, today mom and I are headed back to the Magic Kingdom while Dad and Brandon are on the back stage tour that mom and I took 4 years ago. Today is our relaxation day since Harry Potter is tomorrow over at Universal Studios and then move in on Wednesday. I swear these blogs will get more interesting once I start working. For now, I am on vacation!
By the way, it is crazy hot and steamy here. There were multiple times I was dripping in sweat. I hope it is not like this for much longer. I am hoping that in late September there will be a relief from at least the humidity.
Good bye for now!
Can't wait for the Wednesday report but really want to hear About Harry Potter-that would almost get me to Orlando. Good luck today WITH PLACEMENT AND ROOMIES!!!
