Mama & Papa & Food & Wine

My Parents are here, my parents are here!!!     
     I've seriously missed my parents so much, and now they are finally here to visit! I, unfortunately, was unable to get any days off while they are here.  So, we are spending our evenings together.  We went to the movies last night.  We went to the Fork & Screen AMC at Downtown Disney, to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  It was so cute!  
     Tonight, for the first time, we all hit up the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival!  It was so great!  We tried so many things from so many different countries.  My favorite part however, was getting spend a whole afternoon and evening with two of my favorite people in the world!  We had so much fun together, so much so, that I think I've even convinced them to come again at the end of the month!
                                 
     They will be leaving tomorrow morning, and are going to stop by to see me on my break at work before they go.  
I'm already dreading having to say goodbye!

The Duffy Salute

    Had a long day at Disney University yesterday, finishing up my last day of classes for concierge training.  So right after class, I headed to Epcot with Brittany, to meet up with our friends for a bit.  We rode Test Track, met up with Duffy (as usual), and caught Illuminations.   Gotta love Epcot!
 

      I will be back at Disney University tomorrow, to learn some of the new technology that we will be introducing to guests (magicbands!)  I don't know how I'm going to retain all this information, my brain feels like a soggy sponge!

Kowabunga!

     The past two days off have been a nice reprieve to turn my brain off, after the tedious days at Disney University.  I took all of yesterday to chill, get myself organized, do some laundry, and clean the apartment.  In the evening, I headed to Epcot with Brittany, Alyssa, and a new friend, Ashley.  We made a mandatory stop at Club Cool, visited Test Track in the single riders line, and met up with another new friend, Guy, to catch Illuminations.  It was my first time seeing it, and it's truly spectacular!  It could very well give Wishes a run for it's money!
 
     This morning, I got up early with Brooke, and Bonnie (a girl from my D.U. training), and headed to Typhoon Lagoon.  We had plans to meet some other girls from training there as well.  We went on all the raft slides, and caught a bunch of giant waves in the wave pool.  We also spent a good amount of time in my favorite attraction, the lazy river!
     The other gals wound up not being able to make it, and we left the park around 1:30, before the weather got dark.  It's pretty neat that we can just head into a park for free, and just hang for a few hours!
 
 
 
     Brooke and I headed to Downtown Disney to meet up with Brittany, as she got off work at World of Disney.  We grabbed dinner at Earl of Sandwich, and strolled around to do some shopping.  I bought some little odds and ends, but by far, my best purchase of the evening...a tiara from Arribas Brothers!
     Such a simple evening, has been one of my favorite so far!  We headed back fairly early, since tomorrow is my first day of on the job training at Old Key West!
I've got some serious butterflies!
