Half Way Through The Magical Adventure!

So it's been 2 weeks since my last update mainly because I have been lazy and too busy to be able to update it. I have been having lots of fun but also worked alot of shifts to earn lots of Dolla!

So on the 12th I woke up and went to Downtown Disney with Emma for a spot of lunch. Both having ordered a kids meal we got the equivalent of an adults meal in the UK, typical America there! We also had a look around all the shops and in the midday heat we both had to leave to go off to work. and for me scooping Ice Cream which is like the best part of my work and the place I most enjoy.


On wednesday after work we went off out with some of my friends to Buffalo wild wings to party for the first time i had been in Florida. The place was absolutely rammed but was a really fun night ending in one of my friends crying that she nearly got deported from the county... (Over reaction there haha!)

Harry Potter day has been one of my highlights since i got here. Wizzarding World of Harry Potter in the day and bought robes (Gryffindor) and a wand (Siruis Blacks) and wore them as we went around the park. Also we explored some more of Universal before heading to the cinema at 10 to get seats early for the Midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II which is possibly one of the best/saddest films i have ever seen. Everyone there was dressed up as a whole range of characters including Rita Skeeter and Prof. Quirrel which were great costumes, and quite a few Bellatrix La Strange's.

The next day i was rather tired after getting in at like 3am so i just relaxed at the pool the next day before i had work. Then i went to Universal with Emma and Bethan and we bought thing 1, 2 and 3 t shirts because yes... we are cool! We waited 2 hours for the Hogwarts ride in Wizzarding World so we all decided to just sleep in the non moving queue only for it to be awkward when you wake up because everyone around you starts moving haha! This day we got caught in a HUGE storm which seemed like the world was going to end. We, being as smart as we are decided that we would shelter at the bus stop, which was sheltered by a metal umbrella :/ not a great idea when there is fork lightning striking very close to where you are standing so we decided to shelter out in KFC as did many others because it was just too dangerous/wet to even be outside.

After a few more days of working i have done so much more. One day we went to Animal Kingdom, where one of the scariest moments of my life happened.... the first time i have ever seen a wild snake. So we were just chilling watching the parade and suddenly everyone starts jumping up from the pool with a few screams and as i look over the moment happened when i saw it slithering where people had been sat. I ran although i was the other side of the road but there was no way i was hanging around whilst i could see it. It kind of knocked me off for the rest of the day and i get scared to sit on the floor anywhere now! But after this we went to Magic Kingdom to go on the rides and also watch The Magic Memories and Me, Wishes and the Electrical Parade to top the day off. It was open until 1am so when it got later it got pretty dead so we could basically walk on to rides. Being in Magic Kingdom when there is not another sole in frontier land is quite freaky. We managed to get home about 2am.

Also, Beth, Maeghan and I took on the 4 Park + Major Attractions challenge which im proud to say we completed! We started in Hollywood Studios where we went on the Toy Story Ride, Rockin' Roller coaster, Tower of Terror and the Little Mermaid Show and then rushed over to Epcot on the Boat to get a fast pass for Soarin'. Then we caught a bus to Magic Kingdom to try catch the 3 O'clock Parade but it was rained off :( and we then went to get a fast pass for Space Mountain, went on Thunder Mountain and Haunted Mansion then headed to Animal Kingdom to go on Dinosaur, Its tough to be a bug show and Expedition Everest. Unfortunately due to the Rain and Lightning Everest was closed. We then headed back to epcot to use our fast pass for soarin and then watched IlluminNations: Reflections of earth... when the world failed to show lol and then ran over to Magic Kingdom to catch Wishes, The magic Memories and You and then to use our fast pass for Space Mountain. That left us 4 parks 1 day complete :D

In the last 2 weeks i have also been to Sea World which was AMAZING!!!!! When we were there we went on Manta 3 times which was terrifying! and also on Kraken. The shows are so spectacular and i have no idea how they manage to train the Dolphins, Whales and Birds to do what they do its just Incredible. At first i thought it was pretty mean but the animals seem so happy when performing! The Dolphin show was my personal favorite so much going on and Shamu rocks was incredible too and i kind of want to be a whale/dolphin trainer now although im probably in the wrong degree haha!

The other morning me beth and emma went to Downtown disney for lunch and a quick shop then took emma to work and me and beth went to watch the 3 o'clock parade and go on the laugh floor and stitches great escape. On our way out of Magic Kingdom we caught some random flag ceremony where they pledge allegiance to the flag sing the national anthem etc which was something a bit different to what i had seen before. Then finally, some of us took a second attempt at the Kitchen Sink for AJ's birthday and yet again failed but think we had a better go at it the second time around. And that is an update on my last 2 weeks of life in the Sunshine/Rainy state. Missing everyone lots!
