Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? I DO

     Mickey Waffles.  The breakfast of champions mouseketeers.  After my earlier post today, I decided to whip up some waffles in my new Mickey waffle iron.  Easy enough right?  Except for the side note that I may or may not have set off the smoke detector doing so...I don't even know how, they weren't even burnt!  Thankfully, it only went off for a couple seconds, and shut off, just long enough to wake my sleeping roommates on our first morning together.  Thank goodness it's impossible to be mad when greeted with fresh waffles!

     After breakfast, my roommates decided to join me for my housing meeting, instead of attending their own, so that we could be done sooner, and head out to have some fun earlier. 
     The housing meeting was more or less what you'd expect.  Lots of rules, and lists of things to do and not to do.  It was supposed to be mandatory, but they weren't taking any sort of attendance.  The main speaker was funny however, and they did put it an effort to make it as interesting as possible.  Even with the silly rules...NO LIGHTSABERS!  ("If you can't live for six months without a lightsaber, you need to re-evaluate your priorities...)

 

            Right after the housing meeting (okay, and another quick trip to Walmart), we made a beeline for Universal Studios. 
     We met Lucy from I Love Lucy right away, and she was so sassy! We hopped on E.T. first, then walked right into the line to meet Patrick!

      Next up, we decided to wait for The Simpson's Ride, despite the long queue time.  By the time we got up to the front, I wasn't feeling so hot (dippin dots + extreme heat = unhappy Kayla), so I chose to sit it out.  The employees allowed me to sit in front of their ride room door, to wait in the air conditioning.
     A few short minutes after the ride door closed, the entire building went black.  I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, and my roommates were stuck.  It took about 30 minutes of employees running around in the dark, before we finally got to get out.  It was actually pretty funny!

      The park was more crowded than I've ever seen, and the wait times were so long, that coupled with the power outage, we decided to call it a day.  Definitely got this program off to a good start though!  Hopefully, it's the first of many fun days I get to spend with these gals!

Are you ready kids? (I sure am!)
