More MK and celebrations

I recently lost my camera but have re located it and can finally share some pictures!
I am discovering the time of days to wait for rides as well as the wait times are over estimated (As to create a magical moment I am sure) So I am experiencing more rides.

Another day off another day in the mk. That would be Magic Kingdom for you non Disney folk.

No big deal I got a score of 999 999 on Buzz Lightyear 
(There may have been a small malfunction)

As i'm sure everyone already knew yesterday was national ice cream day. As this is a pretty important holiday I felt it needed to be celebrated! Choice of celebration was Downtown Disney!
And as this is disney there are many, MANY, Gift shops where I love to use my discount! Dixie and I had been eyeing some matching sweaters for quite some time and decided it was the night to splurge! 
So soft! 
Today (As I had to go pick up my camera at lost and found! Opps!) I decided to go to magic Kingdom for some Starbucks on main street and walk around for a while! 
Starbuck really struggles with my name here! 
but its still way to good and should not be so easy for me to get!

This week I will be taking a Train the Trainer class to become an official Disney trainer and then next week I begin training some fellow lumberjacks!! Big step as I still feel like I'm in training myself!

I also have my menu knowledge test coming up that I am not even slightly ready for! Time to start a little more studying!

4 parks, 14 hours, 1 day off

It was recently brought to attention that I know little about all the parks and have barely had time to visit them all! As I don't get many days off a friend Chelsea took it on to have me visit the best parts off all the parks in one day!
I feel more educated now to help guests and actually talk to them about the parks! (Instead of pretending,,opps!) 

We started the day in Magic Kingdom for the park opening at 8:30am. As I am not a morning person this was a big deal that I made it there. Starbucks was promised. 


After starting the day off right and getting Pixie Dusted (My first time) we hit up three rides I hadn't experienced yet: The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan and Splash Mountain. 


I'm really happy

Missing a partner! 


Fellow Nanny
After stooping in at the main street Starbucks we took up to the Animal Kingdom. (First time on the Monorail too!) 

Three more Stops here (4 if you count tracking down the Lemonade rum!), Finding Nemo The Musical, Kilimanjaro Safari, where the Tour Guide was less then enthused about her job!, will have to go again, and the Lion King Circle Of Life Show. 


My First Girrafe!




Next was onto Epcot for Pizza in Italy and A bit of Sangria. Or maybe more than a bit! It was by far the best pizza I have ever eaten! Cantaloupe on Pizza, who know!
After stooping in America for a Bourbon and Lemonade we made our way to Hollywood Studios for the American Idol Experience Finally and Animation Studios where I drew Goofy! (Perfectly of Course) 
Final Product! 

Concentration

We Ended the night in Downtown Disney for some Desert and Shopping! Loving my Disney Discount! 

Today I went back to work and had an early class about the Disney four Keys. The learning never stops! 

Now time to study... Tests are coming up quickly

Animal Kingdom and more

I have just finished my two days off and finally got to do some fun things.
I have been working lots the past week (A Disney week is Sunday to Saturday, just because they need to be different!). On the forth of July I was at the park until midnight at the popcorn cart! That was a long day!

On Tuesday I went to the Animal Kingdom for my first time!



Russell and Doug 

Creepy bats that had no cage around them!

Asian Village



Jungle book 
(Hannah is that you!)

On Wednesday Dixie and I had to brave Walmart and get some food for the week. I also got a cell phone that's can text internationally!! And it is a big step up from my last phone! 
We also went to the Prime Time Dinner in Hollywood studios. It was a little disappointing because the servers are suppose to be rude and treat you like a 50's mom! Our Server was quite nice! 
Mama's fried chicken

Our kitchen table 
Now off to work for the next 6 days!

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada day from not so sunny Florida!
It was a great day to work in the Canadian Pavilion with lots of Canadians eating at the restaurant! That and the free food was pretty great!

Yesterday I spent more time exploring the many things Disney has to offer!

I met Alice...
 
And went to the Disney boardwalk
 

 
And ate the kitchen Sink! 


Everything in it!


mmmmmm Challenge accepted

 Challenged failed!
 

as far as three girls can eat out of a kitchen sink full of ice cream!
 
after filling up on ice cream we decided we should probably do some walking and headed to Hollywood studios where there was small waits for a lot of the rides! That's a first!
 
Mary Poppins!

Wizard of oz

 My favorite crew
 

Smallest wait even the employees have aver seen for Toy Story.
On average its about 90

 
Overall a pretty successful day in Disney World. Any day with that much ice cream is good!
 
Outlet shopping tomorrow!
