Its really cool the World of Disney shop is the biggest Disney store in the world.. its huge!! seriously huge!! At the moment it has a giant stitch as you can see below! Stitch spits water at passers by, its well cute!! Theres also a big lego shop which isnt as interesting but its still cool because theres a giant lego loch ness monster!! yay!! Theres also a big shop with lots of film memorabilia, it has a huge signed Harry Potter poster which i want so much but its too expensive! There are loads of other shops and bars etc there too.. lots to keep you occupied. One of the shops i visited and by far the best is the biggest Virgin megastore you will ever see!! its amazing, it has EVERYTHING!! pictured below are a few of the things you can get just to make people a little jealous!! Ok so you can get Thundercats seasons 1 and 2 on dvd!! haha im gonna get it!! you can also get FAMILY GUY MONOPOLY AND MARIO MONOPOLY! How cool is that!! and they had a really cool Freddie Mercury action figure!! they also had loads of cool t shirts and random dvds and stuff.. its worth coming to Florida just to get cool stuff from there!!

Disney- MGM Studios

This is our day out at Disney MGM Studios. Please bear in mind i was incredibly hungover this day so if i look like crap thats why!! When we got there we were attacked by these nasty little critters called lovebugs! They are sooo gross! They are basically two flies flying around having sex its sooo gross! Florida is infested with them at the moment ive never seen the likes!
When we got in we decided it'd be fun to get silly hats (obviously) so see below pic for that!! I was the groom and Meg was the bride!! Nat, Jenna and Kim were pirates and lucy bought pretty ears!
After this we went onthe Rock n Rollercoaster (the greatest ride ever) and the Tower of Terror (quite possibly the scariest thing ever). I was soo hungover it was horrible i had the worst shakes ever anyway! So photos top left clockwise : The gang in our hats, Jenna and I after Rock N Rollercoaster, Nat, Meg and myself before Tower of Terror and a pic of the Tower of Terror!
Had to go home early because it was way too hot and i was sooo ill.. i had no voice at all. Ended up sleeping 13 hours that night!! Posted by Picasa

IllumiNations

This is the view of IllumiNations i get every night from work.. These pics are stolen from Chris who is a Liverpool fan so a big thanks to him coz i havent told him yet!! I watched this after my second day and its so far the best show ive seen its absolutely amazing and no photo's could do it justice. Basically the whole point of the world showcas ein Epcor is diversity and seeing other cultures and how they are in the respects of : architecture, food and also traditions and customs. The staff on each pavillion originate form the country the pavillion represents so im obviously from the uk so work on that pavillion! So the firework basically is a way of celebrating the world showcase.. its amazing seriously.. a must see!! Posted by Picasa

Disney Uni and Wishes

So today i went to Disney university and learned all about how we create magic for our guests it was cool. We learned about the history of the company from Walts life story to the story of the Disney parks also learned about up and coming events... Got my badge and my free pass to the parks.. yay!!
In the evening we went to Magic Kingdom.. was sooo cool. We watched wishes and the castle was all lit up so nice. Because they are celebrating 50 years of the parks the castle change colour to reflect the colour of the castle in each park worldwide which was really cool. Then wishes.. OMG so cool. Massive firework display with a cute lil song in the background about making wishes .. so Disney! Half way through tinkerbell flies form the castle down to behind Main Street shes giving us all some pixie dust!! I loved every second it was an amazing show and everyone has to see it.

Universal

Today we went to Universal Studios as a little treat. Its about 30 mins drive and cost $2 each in a 13 seater.. so cool! Spent the day in the Studios park rather than the one with the big rides because i was sooo hungover oops! Was a really good day had lots of fun and got to know everyone better. The park itself is quite big and is filled with mosyly rides form Older films like Twister, The Mummy, Jaws (which was awesome!!) bt has A shreck ride too. A lot of them are kind like hex in Alton Towers where ur walking around the ride and then u watch a little presentation and your in the ride as part of the audience, was quite cool i really enjoyed it. The in the evening we had Dinner in the Nascar cafe which again was soo cheap i love how cheap everything is here. You get free refills on soft drinks everywere too which saves loads! I love the cheapness!! Photos.. Nascar cafe where we ate, A spiderman sign (just for you Kate) Canal St in Universal ( i was looking for via fossa haha ), Meg, me and Jo outside Universal, Diane and myself by the big universal globe, Nat and a guy on stilts (he had the scariest eyes ever) this was outside the Mummy ride, easily the best ride in this park. Meg and a MASSIVE turkey leg, the biggest Hard Rock Cafe ive ever seen and Finally Nat and Jo messing around before we got our cab home! Posted by Picasa

Random pics

This is from Saturday.. We spent most of the day by the pool (how amazing is it that i can say that). Just chilling because as u all know i cant swim :( but i went in and loved it. I was like the whitest person there though so im working on my tan loads now!! In the evening we went to a bar called Bennigans which is about 20 mins drive away. Its sooo cheap to get drunk in there. My first drink i went the bar ordered JD and coke (so predictable) and it was literally at least 1/2 jd and 1/2 coke but it was a big glass too so i was drunk pretty much when i finished that. It cost me $5.90 which is nothing really! So after a few of them you can imagine the state i was in! Ceri gave me a teddie too so i'd like to say thanks was so sweet!!
We played drinking games for a while too which was fun because i got to meet new people who are working in the same place as me. Met a few of the Canadians too which was really cool. The Canadians all seem really nice which is always nice. So here are my pics (top left, clockwise) Me in the pool enjoying myself.. it was sooo hot, Me and Tessa form Canada, we were quite drunk at this point, me and James being silly, Ceri, Jo and Jilly at the bar. They are al so sweet so dont worry back home guys i got people looking out for me!!
