Happy Halloween! (in September)

Well what a magical three day weekend that was! After the longest week of my life, working 52 hours in 5 days, finishing with a tragic 13hr shift until midnight Wednesday night, I was finally able to relax and enjoy My Orlando that I live in. Thursday morning was spent in magic kingdom with Anna before she had to go to work. After a yummy breakfast on main street including the biggest cinnamon roll know to mankind,  We went on the new and improved dumbo ride, purely to look over the Fence and see new bits of new fantasy land. They had a crane picking up pieces of the new roller coaster for snow white and the seven drawfs mine train which won't be open until 2014! I saw a bit of the track that just came to a stop, never seen a coaster being built before! But we could see in the distance beauty and the beasts castle and prince Eric's castle for the new little mermaid section, so exciting. I have been following the making of this new fantasy land since they announced it years ago and it's so nice to see it nearly finished! We get a preview of it from the end of November I believe, but it's not open to guests until December 6th. And my lovely friend Sophie managed to get a reservation for the Be Our Guest restaurant mid December and I'm going with her to eat yummy foods in that brand new place, it will be magical!

After Anna had to go to work, I had a look around the Polynesian resort with Sara and we went to cast connections to buy discounted Disney things including my nieces Christmas present, if I could fit into it I would have kept it, but obviously it is for a 7 year old princess :)

Friday was brunch at panera bread with Kerry, Amy and Nathan. I love that place, fresh soups and sandwiches for a bargain price. Nathan had to then go to work, but us ladies went shopping as you do, and got last minute things for Mickeys' not so scary Halloween party. In the afternoon I dyed my hair dark brown as it was 5 different colours by this point of 2.5 months in the sunshine state, and customised the men's XL teeshirt I bought, into a Pocahontas dress very successfully even if I do say so myself. A cardboard Pocahontas necklace and a drawn on tattoo and I was good to go! Mickeys not so scary halloween party in magic kingdom that night was absolutely amazing! I would go again if I had $42 to spare. The fireworks were incredible (panoramic) and the parade was the best I've seen, catchy tune too which I haven't stopped singing since "boo, to you and you and you, HAPPY HALLOWEEN" and we got as many sweets as we could carry trick or treating around the park, and met winnie the pooh and friends, Tarzan and jack sparrow! Hot!! I greeted him with, "jack, can I have my picture taken with you" and he just looked at me and went "CAPTAIN jack" in a drunken manner. Brilliant!!

Saturday was universal studios day with Kerry, Clare, new Nathan and new mark. Iride was 25cents there and back, thank you Disney discount, and we had a great day going on as many rides as possible. I used to take the mick out of people who wore ponchos on water rides, but now I embrace it, it kept me and Clare very dry, where as the boys go drenched! Did a little bit if shopping in Harry potter world before leaving and having tea in TGI Fridays, two courses for $10!! 

Back to work yesterday with an early finish which was nice, me, Sian and Andrew went for tea on the Boardwalk and watched Pocahontas, I think she is becoming my favourite, and then Kerry and Anna joined us for icecream treat in Beaches n Cream at 10pm. 

Today I am on my way to magic kingdom to post joy from main street USA and to have a wonder around, maybe go see the boss before hopping on the monorail and going to work in Epcot. I love how I have a normal job, but when I'm not at work, I'm instantly on holiday and can go visit these magical places on a short free bus ride. I'm currently just going through the Magic kingdom gates and will be able to see the castle very shortly out the window :) magical! Getting dropped off at the grand Floridian hotel to have a nose and then monorail to MK. Life is good. Lasses tonight, in my teeshirt that reads "joys of a Disney keeno" on the back, that is my lasses name I have earned since being here, I wonder why? JOY! :)

...just arrived at work, didn't go to MK in the end, just had a wonder around the grand Floridian and had a lovely girl Arielle help me with a magical birthday card for my sister and we filled it with joy! I gave her a four keys fanatic card because she spent so much time making me an envelope and for the extra magic that's inside. Hope it gets to the UK in time for Abi's birthday! Nothing like leaving something until the last minute us there!! If its late, I apologise, but it's totes amaze! :)
