21 July

We had what they call "traditions" today. We got up at about 6am (too early for me) To go the Disney university. Some of the sights along the way were amazing!! When we got the university, we were separated into 2 groups (yellow and pink). When we got upstairs we got the all important access pass which allows us to get into the parks (for free) and get into work! After about an hour we went on a small tour of the Magic Kingdom - for those of you who dont know, that was one of the original parks and is the home of Cinderellas castle :D

After a very small tour we went back to our class. There was a knock at the door - I thought a person had been locked out of the room - but when she opened it, it was MICKEY MOUSE!!! He had come to deliver our nametags. It was so cool :) So after finishing our Traditions class and about 4 blisters later (new shoes) we came back to the apartment and got changed. For traditions we had to wear "formal attire". 

Later in the afternoon, we went back to the Magic Kingdom to have a proper look and wow - what a place!!!!!!!!! It is amazing. So big - it is really easy to get lost haha. My room mates decided they would go on "Splash Mountain" I just stayed and watched. Standing still in this heat is not a good idea by the way! Anyway, when the others got off the ride, we went down to the Pirates of the Caribean ride - that was fun :) the lines for some of the rides are so long - like 30-60min wait). After walking round for a bit, we were all starting to get really hot and tired so we checked out "tomorrowland" and saw an extremely funny Monsters Inc show - we all laughed our heads off!!!!!!! Once again, the lines for the roller coasters and stuff were like 45 minute waits so we decided to make our way thru thousands of people back to the monorail to get back to the bus terminal. It is quite cool - the bus dropped us off at the terminal and we could either catch the ferry or the monorail over to the park - awesome!! After getting back to the bus terminal we caught the bus which seemed to take a very long time - I think the driver took the LOOOONG way home. 

I think we are all going to have early nights tonight - I have training at 8 tomorrow so that means getting up at 6ish :(

till next time xx
