Day Fourty Nine...
Me and Christina had our day of fun today ha. We went to Animal Kingdom and got our picture with Stitch. Only really cuz i wanted to make my friend at home jealous. We watched its Tough to be a bug and the Lion King show which was cool but i hate it when people do acrobatics cuz it makes me nervous.
In the evening we went to an Epcot cast member movie night. We basically only went for the free food and when we turned up there were only two other people in the room! Loads more people ended up coming later and the whole night was just weird and funny. Americans are so over enthusiastic! We entered a competition to win prizes which i though they d just pull from a hat but turns out you had to go to the front and tell everyone your favourite magical moment on a microphone!! As soon as they sed this person works with hair i was crying inside! Haha. It was a trauma and i only won an XXL t shirt which ill probs throw away. Christina won a Segway tour of Epcot though which im sooo excited for :D We ate popcorn, tried the pizza which was horrible, watched tangled and then went home to bed.
Day Fourty Eight...
Tonight we went to Raglan Road which is the Irish pub in Downtown Disney. Its owned by Irish people, the bar was imported from Ireland and the chef has cooked for U2 and the Queen. Just a few facts i read off the back of the menu. They have irish dancer on a stage in there aswell and ive asked christina to teach me irish dancing so i can break it out when ever Bewitched comes on in the Boutique. I ordered risotto which was so nice and a side of chips cuz i miss nice fat english chips and have come to hate french fries!! After the meal Mariannes suggests (bad decision) that we should go i hop for pancakes. So we get over there, all order our pancakes, i had the blueberry ones, and after about four mouthfuls we're all delirious cuz we're so full and feel sick. It was so funy we all just went histerical for some reason, marianne looked like she was gunna cry and we tried to force as much of the pancakes down as possible. We ended up taking most of it away though, not that i ever wanna eat those things again.

Day Fourty Six...
I had the day off on my own today so i probs seem like abit of a loser from what i was doing but i dont care cuz i dont wanna waste my days off! I did pool morning to try and keep the none existent tan going. Then skyped my dear parents for a while before going to downtown to get my charicature done. Its really weird cuz hes chatting away to you but im trying to stay still and pose so he can see what my face looks like! Then I went and did loads of shopping and got my pay card declined a day after pay day! How embarassing! It was all on presents for my family though and at least ive got them all now. Then i went and watched Friends with Benefits and for some reason im now obsessed with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and want to be both of them! Haha. Love that film and was a pretty chilled day on my own..
Day Fourty Five...
Went to Magic Kingdom today cuz it was Kaylas last day :( sad. Ive hardly done anything in Mk for some reason so it was a good day for ticking things off the list. We had photos taken outside the castle which are so cute and had a picture where we are holding our hands out and then the photoshop Tinkerbell in like we re holding her. Mandy took the photopass card for that though so who knows whether ill ever see those photos. We went in Philarmagic, which is a 3D show and it was amazing. I feel like a little kid! We did Haunted mansion aswell which isnt amazing but i love little chilled rides. I always think rides are too short though. After queing for ages i just wanna sit down in the air con for an hour for a rest! Snow white was a really cute ride untill they stopped the ride probs to let a disabled person on which is fine. But they turned all the lights on. And when the ride started again they obviously forgot to turn them back off so that ruined the magic!
Most evenings consist of the usual, me and marianne have brought the entire magazine collection from Walgreens and just go through those. Im running out of new ones to read though!

Day Fourty One...
Tonight was such a trauma! Pre drinks at Christinas was fun which was so funny and actually seriously hard! Even though it looks easy! Im so unflexible! Then we went to House of Blues. I love it there and we were having such a good night until i got thrown out for holding an alcoholic drink!! I was so anoyed your not even allowed to touch alcohol. It drives me mad cuz im used to being able to drink at home so it feels like being 17 again! I was really stressed aswell that id get terminated for it! So that night ended up rubbish. Got some good photos though and i seem to be in most of them although im sure i was only there for half an hour.
Day Fourty...
Tonight we had film night and ordered a dominoes. I miss dominoes in England! I love it too much. They didnt have the garlic and herb base so i was devasted! Ha. The pizza was amazing though and we scoffed it down and watched tarzan. I love my Dominoes baby!
Day Thirty Nine...
Today was so funny. We went to Typhoon Lagoon for 'Massive Friday' (cuz we all had the same day off) The whole day was literally hilarious. My back was bright red from where id burnt it in the morning sun bathing with the tanning oil :/ we went on the rapids and all the big slides. We went on the lazy river where everyone in the river suddendly joined onto eachother and made a train. I was stuck rammed against the wall on the wrong side of the train but eventually joined on the end. Americans are very friendly with eachother. The best bit of the day was the wave pool. I lost my sunglasses in there which was a burden. The wave literally swooshed them off my face and i didnt even notice they were gone. It was so funny in there though. The first wave we were really near the back, basically not even in the pool but it was so powerful it knocked me and marianne off our feet. I was just rolling away and it was scratching my back but i couldnt get up! We had a photo pass photo taken in there aswell and got knocked over then and went flying into the woman. At one point we all fell over together and ended up in some kind of ball and were all being washed away together.
In the evening we went to Beaches and Cream to attempt the kitchen sink of ice cream. Some of it was disgusting like there was coffee ice cream and peanut butter sauce! I was determined to finish it and even strawed it at the end which was rank. We did it though. Go team!

Day Thirty Eight...
Today was such a productive day well done me! I got up early and booked my flight to California in September so thats done now, ready to go :) I went to Walgreens then me and Marianne encouraged eachother (bad idea) to go to the outlet mall. I was so good though i was proud of myself. I had tunnel vision. I only brought the jeans in the sale i wanted and a jumper. Then we went for our Epcot day which i was literally so excited about cuz we were going for lunch in England! Yay. I had vegetarian cottage pie and a side of english chips. It so amazing,nicer than actual english food! Oh waiter was from London so we chatted to him for abit aswell and it was really nice. Then we went and did a few rides so we ve done most of them in Epcot now including the Figment ride which is genuinly the weirdest thing ive ever been on. The whole time i was just in shock cuz i had no idea what was going on and it was like something a guy on drugs had created! In the evening we ended up randomly going to the Polynesian just because Christina was hungry. I got a pinapple ice cream and we sat on watched the fireworks on the beach for literally 2 seconds but at least now i can say i've done it.

Day Thirty Five...
I got sent home from work today for forgetting my work shoes so i wasnt 'in with the Disney Look' which was abit anoying cuz id got up and got ready but at least i was getting an extra day off :)I went to the outlets and did abit of papaya shopping. My favourite thing to do. Then i got the bus to Ripleys museum which is basically a museum of really weird and random things and facts. It was really cool though and i brought a penny in a tiny jar and its like omg how did the penny get in that jar lol. Then i came home and skyped my auntie before going to Applebees for dinner and having the spinach and artichoke dip which is a really popular starter here but the starters are literally the size of about two mains for some reason. So productive day! Glad i had it off instead of being at work.
Day Thirty Four..
I had to be at work for 6 am today! Burden! It reminds me of the horrible training days! Thankfully ive learnt to handle them better now. I just put the radio on now and have a dance around. After work finally finished me and julie went to Rainforest Cafe to attempt the Volcano. This desert made of brownies and ice cream and whipped cream and chocolate sauce. I was hungry and thought id end up eating it all and julie would have a mouthful. As it turns out its pretty massive and really sickly! We only managed two thirds between us and i thought i was gunna be sick if i had another mouthful.
I went home for a good nap and we went to House of Blues in the evening. I seriously love the music there! I dont think anyone else loves it as much as i do. It was a good night sipping my water! Met loads of random people in the smoking area and on the way back on the bus a french guy started chanting and got naked! Dunno what that was all about. Also i felt soooo hungry i thought i was gunna be sick! Ive never felt so hungry in my life :/

Day Thirty Three...
I LOVE EARL OF SANDWICH! That summarises today. I finally tried one and it was amazing. The Caprese! Best sandwich ever!!!!
Day Thirty Two...
Today was abit of a fail aswell. We attempted to go to Blizzaed Beach. I was so in the mood for a water park! But literally half an hour after we paid to get in (cuz we dont get in the water parks for free just 50% off after 2) they closed all the attractions and we wernt allowed in any water cuz there was thunder and lightening warning. To be fair the lightening was really bad that day. I saw it hit hollywood studios from the top of Summit plummit which was so weird and scary. So we had to wait for 3 hours!!! until it opened again. It ended up closing again an hour later cuz of the weather again but we got quite abit done before then.
In the evening we ate at Prime Time a fifties diner in Hollywood Studios. Its so cute and all laid out like a fifties house. The waiter is called Cousin Scott and when uve ordered he says he ll just go tell mum your order. You have to eat all your vegetables or you dont get dessert. But my whole meal was vegetables! And i really wanted a brownie so i actually asked the guy if i could leave my veg haha. The brownie was amazing!
After that we all went to watch Fantasmic. Now ive seen it once i watched it really closely and was comparing it and didnt think it was as good as the first time. I think we got a really good first showing.

Day Thirty One...
Went to Property Control this morning which is basically a place where cast members can get 75% discount on disney merchandise because its faulty but with some of the stuff you cant even tell what the fault is. Its so amazing i loved it. I brought so much stuff including a Billabong handbag which was random. I got stressed at the cas register though cuz first they run everything up at its original prices and it came to over 100. I was like oh my god ive spent more than i thought! But it ended up being only $30! Then we went to magic kingdom for abit which was fun. Went on Peter Pan which is so cute, its a small world and the tea cups. Also the stitch ride which is the worst thing ive ever been on. You just walk around for ages then sit in this room while stitch makes a few noises in the dark and thats it! Everyone looked disappointed. We went on Space Mountain aswell which is so good and actually quite scary cuz its in the dark and rocks around so much. Got some hilarious pictures on the camera aswell.
Went to Wendys for dinner and got a sour cream and chive jacket potato. Yum :D

Day Twenty Seven...
Tonight was a massive fail. We all went round for Christinas for drinks and attempted a house of blues night out but missed the bus. Then waited 45 minutes!!! for a taxi that never arrived before deciding to give and walk back to the appartment and go to bed! Epic Fail!

Day Twenty Six...
Today me and beth had our day of fun at Hollywood studios. Ive done loads of things there already so it was mainly a day of shows. We saw the car stunt show, which just makes me stressed cuz i always think somethings gunna go wrong. We did the backlot tour as well which i hadnt done already. Beauty and the beast was a really fun show and i had my frozen lemonade! :) which i will miss when im back in England. My fav show though was the little mermaid cuz i love that film and it had some really cool effects in it like glow in the dark fish and a massive ursela. It rained alot on you though which was kind of anoying cuz i was cold! We also went to see the green army man from toy story who was my friend Tag inside. That was fun cuz he just walked straight past the que and came over to us and took photos with us :)
Day Twenty Five...
Yay!! Harry Potter film night! The final film was out in america so we all went to watch that which was soooo good. It was really horrible and violent in some bits though. Its def not a childrens film anymore! I want to see it again though. I love Harry Potter!!
Day Twenty Four...
In the evening i went out in Downtown Orlando with some people from work. It was a good night but i much prefer going out in England and i miss my friends there! We went to a club called Vain but its so anoying going out here cuz if your over 21 you get in everywhere free but if your under you pay around 10 dollars. It was cool going out with some american people though and me and christina just sat taking a million hilarious but ugly photos at the bus stop at the end of the night.
Day Twenty Four...
Today we went to Sea World. It was such a hot day. I think one of the hottest so far. I could barely walk from each attraction to the next. We went on Manta first which is like Air in England where they lift you up so your facing the ground. It was so scary. I cant decide whether i liked it or not cuz of the way you were sat you were so close to everything we past so i had to close my eyes. Then we went to Journey to Atlantis and the que was soooo long and outside! So it was boiling and horrible. That was a nice chill ride though with a lil rollercoaster at the end. I love boat rides. We went to look around some of the animals before going to Shamu. It was such a cool show but there was a lot less tricks in it than i remember, mostly just splashing the audience. Afterwards we went on Kracken which was amazing. I love that ride! I remember going on it 7 times in a row when we came we i was 10. For dinner we went to a really cool restaurant where the whole wall is an aquarium which big sharks in it so you see then swimming past as you eat. I had an old fave of mine and annas. Brushetta! It was so good. Our final trip was to the seal show which was really cute and funny. They had a mime at the front at the start who just took the mick out of the guests as they sat down. Also at the end i thought a sea lion was a really obese seal lol.
Day Twenty Three...
After work i went for food with a couple of the work girls. I felt so overly dressed! I thought i was under dressed cuz i was just wearing a beach dress but they were wearing tackies and baggy tops. I think they were judging my outfit ha. We went to a place called Kraze which was really nice and i wouldn't have found by myself cuz megan drove us there. It was like eating with the anorexics though cuz they wanted to share everything! At first we shared a small bowl of edamame beans cuz they said they were delicious. They were nice but they were beans! Then i wanted a pizza but they ignored me and got a sharing platter of pitta bread and houmus! To be fair it was so nice but i was hungry! Then for dessert we shared a brownie with ice cream and melted marshmellow on top. Yum! Ive become obsessed with brownie since being here.
