It's My Last Full Month!

So it's officially my last full month here in Orlando. I know I said this in my last post, but I really am sad about leaving. However, I know that it's time for me to go back home and settle into a "normal" life there. And as much as I love Disney and Orlando, I feel like I've been missing out on a lot back home, and I don't like that. I can't wait to be around my family and friends, and to be able to do the things that I love doing back home. And I'm also looking forward to being able to be back around my dogs! I miss them!

So since I'm leaving my "dream world" in 37 days, I have started trying to find jobs back home. So far, I've applied for one, and I'm getting my resume ready to send out to other places. I've also applied to go back to school for my Masters' degree. All that's left for me to do is to register to take the GRE. I'm dreading that because (a) I hate taking tests like that, and (b) it's expensive. But it's something that has to be done. To be honest, I'm looking forward to going back to school. I feel like I'll be one of those people who is pretty much always in school because there's just so much that I'm interested in and want to learn about. :)

However, I still have over a month left here at Disney, and I plan on making the most of it. Today, since I'm off, I'm planning on going over to the Grand Floridian and seeing the painted Easter eggs that they have on display. And Monday is my birthday, so Kim, Kelly, and I are planning to drive up to St. Augustine for the day to celebrate. I've always wanted to go to St. Augustine, so I'm excited that we're going for my birthday. :) I also have to start packing stuff up so I won't be rushed to do it all my last week here. Let's hope that for once, I'm actually on the ball about this. :p

Oh! And even bigger news--the boyfriend is coming to visit me!!! He'll be here for just 2 days (next Saturday and Sunday), but I'm so excited that he's coming!! He's never been to Disney before, so I'm very excited to get to share this part of my life with him and show him around the place I love so much. He'll be here in 10 days, and I can't wait!!! I just have to get through some crazy hours at work the rest of this week and next week. But it'll be worth it. :)

Well that's all for now. I will definitely try to update next week because I've picked up a PAC (Parade Audience Control) shift over at Magic Kingdom next Wednesday, and I want to tell y'all about that. I'm looking forward to that experience. :) And now I'm off to get ready and head out for the afternoon!

Have a magical day!

Reasons Why I Love Disney [[Day 28]]

**SINGLE DIGITS!!!! 9 DAYS!!!!!**

This is one of the perks of staying on property as a guest....getting a wake up call from the Big Cheese himself. :) You can also get wake up calls from other characters, too. Both the trip in April, and the trip in December, I got wake up calls from Stitch with Mickey. :) It's always good to wake up to Stitch saying "No sleep!" :p

Reasons Why I Love Disney [[Day 5]]

I love love love the Polynesian Resort, and this is one of the reasons why. Their lobby is absolutely beautiful, and I feel like I'm in Hawaii every time I go there. :)

Hopefully, I'll be working at the Polynesian, and I'll get to see this everyday. :)

Day 28!

Day 28: A picture of your favorite place to hide from the crowds.

I love going back to the resorts and exploring them when the parks get too crowded. The resorts are half the fun of being at Disney World! :)

Day 13!

*12 weeks!!!!*

Day 13: A picture of your favorite "home" resort.

 My favorite resort that I've actually stayed at is Port Orleans Riverside. It was absolutely stunning. :)

  My favorite resort overall, even though I've never stayed there, is the Polynesian Resort. It's stunning, and it's on the lake, and it has a beach. And it's themed like the Polynesian islands. It's perfect. :)
