The cab driver was this guy called Kojak, after the old TV program which none of us watched but anyway...inside his taxi he had loads of Disney cast members badges on the roof, and loads of football scarfs. Then he started banging out all these Disney facts e.g. Did you know Goofys orginal name was Dippy the Dog, then he whacked out a karaoke machine lool - was SO random! But now we use him all the time as he's cheap (and amazing)! So we got to Wamart at like 11pm, all basically zombies because we'd nearly been up 24 hours and it was horrible, couldn't decide on bedding etc - but we finally came got everything including some breakfast for the morning. Soooo next morning I get up, pour two bowls of cheerios for Soph & I - then I'm like errr where's the milk!? Opened the freezer - and yep, she had put it in the freezer and it was frozen solid LOL, she still hasn't lived it down!
It was Dans birthday, so we went to his club in down-town Orlando called Chillers, and they had like Slush Puppie cocktails for $1 and they were good! Again though, there was 10 of us and the cabbie was like dw all squash in to a 7 seater (so we did) then when he got out, he had a bloody broken foot!!!! (was funny as we were drunk but a bit worrying)
We all went to Universal studios (I cant remember the date, all the days have merged into one) but we got our annual passes for $202 which I thought was a bargain - gonna get the most out of that badboy - plus our Disney passes! Anywhoo, Wizarding world of Harry Potter= there are NO words, like literally its amazing. Soph & I barged kids out of the way to get in, then squealing and hitting each other with excited haaaa but LOVED it. Cannot wait to go back and have a proper in depth look - and go on the ride again, it was AMAZING!!!!!
Moving on, we've now finished classroom training at Disney University , which was fun being in there but mostly boring. However we was in this class called Traditions, where you basically learn about Walt Disney Company and its quite fun, then there was a knock on the door and Mickey came in - was so Surreal! Then we went on this little tour of Magic Kingdom which was fun, walked up through the tunnels which was so weird! Then we got our nametags and Disney passes - so officially can get into the parks for free! We went to Magic Kingdom that night and watched Wishes, which was my first time and it was soooo good - then we went on pirates, small world & space mountain, didnt leave until 12pm!
Anywhooo, today we've just been training still, went to Epcot and had free fish and chips (yum). Got our discovery today tomorrow, so we walk around the whole of Epcot and then get our costume - eewwwww, not looking forward to this - and pictures will probably not follow! Then start officially in Epcot on Wednesday, I'll be working on the podium outside the pub on my first day, training to be a seater :)
Just chilling out for a minute back at the apartment, having a bud light lime yummy, then a few of us are gonna head over to downtown Disney to have a few drinks! Really enjoying myself atm, met some amazing people and having a blast lol! I'll try keep this updated,but there's so much going on here its hard to find time!
But that's all for now & "Have a Magical Day" ;)
LotsofLove x
