Animal Kingdom & Epcot

The best experience of my if is less than 2 weeks away from ending :( so I have been trying to make the most of the parks while I still have the chance! Been spending alot of time in Epcot, not so much on the rides but on the World Showcase! My favourites are Italy, Japan & France! The food in Japan is amazing! Now it definitely makes me want to visit there! I'll just add that to my long list of places to visit soon. Also the UK is my favourite!! I love spending time in the Rose & Crown where we all have pimms and cider, and shout at people that we are English! Its so much fun and Miss Carol; the hat lady sings English songs all day & she is amazing!

Also went and did Animal Kingdom properly, did Everest & the Rapids a few times and finally did the Safari which was lovely! But the best attraction had to be the Finding Nemo musical, have never seen something so amazing (well maybe except Magic, Memories & you) but this is definately a must see and I'm sure will be on Broadway and on the west end soon!

Here's some photo's from Epcot!

Parents Visit

Had such a lovely time while the parents were visiting! Mum made us visit Magic Kingdom 4 times out of the 6 days we had in the parks, it was safe to say that it is still her favourite park! My step dad loved Epcot, maybe for the fact that you could get drunk while visiting! We did lots of shopping and I got 20 bikini's in Victoria Secrets (which is now my new favourite shop!). Wish they could of stayed longer as we didn't have time to do Universal!

Got a lot of time off this week so planning many nights out as I have yet to visit downtown Orlando. Also need to seriously start topping up my tan as it is already starting to fade! Also started to work in normal rotation and loving it! So glad I actually LOVE my job, lots of English people over here on the same program as me aren't enjoying themselves that much and quite a few have gone home, I'm just luky I'm having the time of my life! :)

Busy Busy Busy

Been so busy going to parks, going out and catching up with everyone! Been to Epcot to finally go to the Pavilions where France, Italy and the Uk are my favourites so far! Definitely need to go dine at the French restaurant it looks amazing! $90 for a 3 course meal, might need to do alot of shifts to afford that just yet! (Or wait until my Mum gets here!). Finally went on Soarin' which is a simulation where it feels you are flying over California, was definitely worth the wait and especially love the ending where you go over Disneyland in Anaheim. 


Watched a film in the French part where it shows you all over the Country and how lovely it looked, definitely has convinced me to do an extended trip there next summer. Also went to Buffalo Wild Wings on Wednesday night where it was happy hour and karaoke, had so much fun and definitely going back again!


Also went to Typhoon Lagoon which was incredible! Loved the flumes in the rafts and tubes! Crush Coaster was like a water flume/ roller-coaster/ log flume ride was very different and was the highlight of the day. 


Here's some photo's from the last few days

Epcot & Crazy Bus Driver!

Made it to Epcot today for a couple of hours and went on Test Track and Mission Space, they were both really good and worth the long wait times! Still need to do the Pavilion where there is a United Kingdom section for some fish and chips but I keep forgetting I'm here for 3 months and keep trying to cram everything in to one day! Also had the craziest bus driver on the way home! He literally nearly crashed 5 times and lost his way countless times, took double the time to get home, but everyone applauded when we FINALLY got home! 


Planning on going to Typhoon Lagoon tomorrow as I have yet to have visited a water park which should be good as you can swim with sharks there! Also made it to the gym which Chatham Square has and its open til 1am which is good for night owls like me! 


Going to do a list of things to do for the newbies that are coming out soon! But here's a few photo's of the last few days.
