My first August weekend

Back to work today after a magical two days off! It started with TGI Fridays after work on Wednesday evening for yummy food, and again I had the vanilla bean cheesecake for dessert because it is amazing!! Thursday was a nice lazy day by the pool with the newbies. After working all week stuck on your feet I do like to lay down and relax on a sun lounger and catch up with everyone. I swam 12 lengths of the pool first thing and then just jumped into the pool everytime I got too hot (which was a lot!!) the girls took me to Penera bread for lunch which was lush and only a quick walk up the road, I had no idea! Had soup and half a sandwich! Then more sunbathing before joining the girls in magic kingdom for Clare's birthday. As soon as I got on the monorail to get to MK, the heavens opened and it tipped it down with thunder and lightening! So I ran in the rain on my own to reach them in liberty square where we then went on whinnie the pooh, carousel and philarmagic before going to main street to meet other girls and boys joining us from finishing work. Wishes was unfortunately canceled due to the lightening still going, but they show The Magic, Memories and You on the castle before we went back home. 

Saturday was also a lovely day off, me and Kerry went to Cast Connections which is a discounted store for cast members to buy slightly damaged or out of date Disney stuff, I got some bargains including a hat I saw last here on holiday that was now on sale, and some mickey giraffe print ears for 50 cents!!! Mazing!! Then we went to Magic kingdom and took lots of photos and went on splash mountain and space mountain, my two favourites! After this it was time to race to Epcot and beat the big grey clouds coming to get to the Rose and Crown pub in the UK pavillion for tea with Sara, Pippa and Sophie. We had the best seat in the house right on the waterfront ready to watch illuminations which were amazing from that spot! THEN we went to the dine-in cinema for the evening and watcher the Candidate which was funny, while ordering brownies for dessert that got brought to our seats!! 

What a fun filled perfect weekend, now it's back to work for 8 hours, but then cowboys tonight after predrinks at Clare's straight after work. Loving life and living my Disney dream!!
