Wow, it has been a while since I updated this. Im not going to tell you about work, coz there is not much to tell haha. On my last days off, I went to the parks with some friends. We went to Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot. At studios, we wanted to do some of the things that we didn't do last time. When we arrived, they had a block party - which was pretty much a parade through the park, it was called a block party coz there were toys and characters from Toy Story in it. It was fun though :) After that, we headed to the Indiana Jones show. That was great, it was like a stunt show and it was as if they were shooting scenes for a movie. They even picked some people from the audience to be extras. It was full of actions and explosions, very cool. After that, we headed down to the Star Wars section. There, they had Jedi training but you had to be 12yrs or younger, my friend Tim was disappointed hahaha!!! Anyway, they have a ride there called "star tours" and it is pretty much a simulator ride that takes you through wherever Star Wars is set (Im not really a star wars fan). It was fun though, I really like the simulator rides. After that, we headed back to Rock n' Roller. I didn't really want to do it again, so I sat and waited for Emily and Tim to come back. Whilst waiting for them, I was watching the Tower of Terror ride...I think next time I go to Studios, Im going to do that. Before we left Studios for the day, we had one more stop - the American Idol experience. It's like A.I, and the winner gets a 'golden ticket' which lets them go to the front of the line for the real auditions. It was pretty cool...it was like being there. The judges were similar, the woman was the nice one, the english guy was the mean one and the other one was like Randy Jackson haha!!!
We then headed to Epcot for dinner. The world showcase is at Epcot, so we had a choice of 11 countries to eat at. It was difficult though coz 1 person wanted to eat at France, 1 person wanted Morroco.....we made a decision: 2 of us went to China and the other 2 went to Japan!! At 9pm was Illuminations - the fireworks show. I had seen them as part of my training but had never seen them as a guest. They were amazing!! My friends loved them too....it was great.
Back to work for a few days then had Tuesday and Wednesday off. On Tuesday, a friend of mine left the program :( so I said good bye to him in the morning, then went out with the girls that night. We went and saw a chick flick....it was so funny.
On the Wednesday, after 7 weeks, I finally made it to Animal Kingdom. What a cool place that is!! I went with my friend Stacey, we started off with the safari and were able to see some animals up close. I saw a live elephant and a hippo for the first time ever!! Id only ever seen them on tv haha. Saw tigers, rhinos, cheetahs, ostriches, and heaps of others. After the safari, we went to get something to eat before going on a ride. We went on a dinosaur ride. It is supposed to transport you back in time to go and get some lizard/dragon thing. It is pitch black inside and dinosaurs are coming out left right and centre, it was so much fun though, I really enjoyed it. Scary, yes, but fun :) After the ride, Stacey and I headed back to see the Nemo show coz I have a friend that works there, but we got there too late and it was full so we went to see the Lion King show instead. That was amazing!! The Lion King is my fave movie anyway but the show was amazing. When that finished, we didn't have time to go back to Nemo, we went to Rafikis planet watch instead, and I pat a snake!!!! Scary!!!! I hate snakes!!!
We then came home and I had a lazy evening haha.....got out a dvd and a book then went to bed pretty much. Walking around a park all day tires you out.
Till next time.....x
