A Royal Breakfast

     Last night, during a slow moment at work, I was playing around with the dining reservation program, and came across a reservation for Cinderella's Royal Table.  I flipped out, being that it's the most coveted reservation, and is basically impossible to get past the 180 days out.  I tried to get it right away, and before I knew it, it was gone.  I had already texted my roommates when I ran to get my credit card, and had to let them know it fell through, I felt awful!
     I continued to play with it throughout the night, hoping it would come back up...and it did!  I booked it right away, and even had to fork over more than $200 to pay for the meal in advance!  Boy was it worth it!  My roommates were so excited, as this was on everybody's big bucket list, and a rare thing to come by.
     We got up bright and early, got pretty, and headed to Magic Kingdom before it opened, to get to our 8:05AM reservation.  The Christmas decorations were up and park was almost totally empty!  It was so beautiful!

 

      As we headed into the castle, we got to meet Cinderella!  Then, it was up the twisted stairs to the dining room!  When we were seated, we were brought some pastries, a small menu with a handful of appetizing options, and were told the princesses would be right around.  And sure enough, before our meals even came, they began visiting with us one by one!

 

 

 

 

 

      Breakfast flew by, and Alyssa and I headed out into the Magic Kingdom to see some other familiar faces.

 

 

 

     So even though I have to head to work this afternoon, I can't imagine a day that started off this awesome could possibly go wrong!

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!
