Big Update Part 1

Well, here is a big update, with everything I've been up to!

Last Friday I finished up all my car related stuff, got my registration and Florida license plate (or tag). It was very stressful, and fairly expensive, but it will be nice to have a car here in Florida for road trips or trips to other amusement parks. When I got back, I went to Hollywood Studios (the old MGM) and met up with everyone! It was definitely nice to relax with friends after the busy day and I'm still amazed that we can all just go to the parks together for free. I'm never going to get tired of that! We went on Tower of Terror (see the awesome picture) and we were going to go on Rockin' Rollercoaster but the line was way too long. We ended up on The Great Movie Ride again... and again it broke! We were waiting to go into Westernland, and the car wouldn't start. It's definitely more amusing that way, and I even found a hidden Mickey while waiting. It was raining, so we decided not to stick around for Fantasmic, but head home instead.

Saturday was a wonderfully relaxing day. I tried to put my new Florida License plate on my car, but I wasn't able to get the back license plate off (actually, I'm still not able to get the back license plate off). One of the bolts is on way too tight and every time I try I'm just stripping the bolt. If anyone is in Commons and would like to help get the license plate on I would be eternally grateful (and it would mean I don't have to worry when I drive my car around... so I could drive these people around). Anyway, after a morning of relaxing I spent the evening at the Magic Kingdom with some Canadian girls! There are so many good pictures, I don't know which to show! I guess I'll post them all!

After seeing the flag lowering, walking down main street, and grabbing some ice cream the girls decided to get a picture with one of the galaxy's greatest defenders... Buzz Lightyear!

We also checked to see if we were ready to join Star Command in Buzz Lightyear's Ranger Spin! Here's Lindsey and I... I think we look pretty awesome! My score was 169,700! My best yet!

We also went to the Monsters Inc laugh floor. One of the monsters even tried to guess the number Meaghan picked "telepathetically". It was awesome.
Then we made sure to visit Fantasyland, and the 3 mountains. Here's the Splash Down photo!

While we were waiting in line for Space Mountain, Emily commented "I've never seen it with the lights on, that would be neat". As the first group of us went to step in their seats, the ride shuts down. It took about 15 minutes to get it running again, but it meant we got to see Space Mountain with the lights on!

Luckily, we made it off Space Mountain just in time to see the Wishes fireworks. It was absolutely amazing. After the show we grabbed some food, went on the teacups (twice... in a row... without losing the food!) and then watched Spectromagic, the night time parade. It was absolutely amazing!

Well, it's getting late and I have to work early tomorrow morning (Seating training at Le Cellier) I will post more when I get the chance!

Emily looks AWESOME in the tower picture.

Also you girls are so funny, it's supposed to break down. That's the point of the ride!

Seating training already! Awesome!

No, sorry, I mean it broke down once the gangster got in. It stalled for about 10-15 minutes and a mechanic had to come out and fix it. They had another gangster person come out to help "Mugsy" ad-lib, too. It's quite amusing!
