2) getting in to the parks for free

half the fun of working at Disney was being able to go to the parks whenever I wanted. (Of course I never went as much as I should have bc work can exhaust you.)

At Hollywood Studios

I loved the times you could decide to go to animal kingdom an hour before it closed to go on Everest or the dinosaur ride. Or walking through Epcot and making new friends in Italy or Germany (chris). Going to magic kingdom just to get ice cream and watch the fireworks. Or spending an hour trying to convince someone to ride tower of terror telling them it is the easy side and watching them freak out when they are on the ride. (sorry Jessica).

Epcot with Chris

There is not much more I can say about how much fun the parks were you can only imagine what it was like to be able to see Cinderella castle whenever I wanted.

another ice cream story

so to add on to my ice cream story that i mentioned earlier.
so when me and this girl were wondering around dak (disney animal kingdom) trying to find ice cream. we stopped and asked a random cast member who worked at an outside food location were to find some at.

next thing i know i look at her name tag and it says "university of iowa" so basically i freak out and start asking this girl random questions about iowa and where she lives.
she wasn't as excited as me to find another person from iowa.. but i was

i found out she lives in building 7 and i live in 9 which is right across from me.
she told me that she came down here with someone else from iowa and seemed really freaked out that i was talking to her so i didn't get any more of her info.
but i know were she lives so i may randomly go visit her someday.

new devotion to my blog

so i realized that i have been slacking on this whole blog thing but i have decided that i have plenty of stories to tell everyone that i haven't been writing about

so this all came about bc i meet a random person from iowa last week.

... so i was walking to go to a friends place and i saw someone wearing an iowa tshirt. at first i wasn't going to approach them but i decided that i should.
and basically we had a conversation that consisted of us telling each other were we are from (she goes to uni) and exchanging numbers and saying we should hang out on sunday.

along came sunday and we went to Animal kingdom (dak) and she informed me that she had a blog and she was telling me the random things she puts on it and i decided that i could be more like her and write more random things.

so my random story from hanging out with the girl from Waterloo is that eating ice cream in florida weather takes talent... and i have that talent.

we had an in depth conversation about ice cream and how i love it and how she has never got it in the parks. the reason she doesn't get it is bc she works in custodial and knows how messy it gets.

she says she doesn't want to get it bc she is doesn't want it to melt and get all over her and she doesn't want to drop it.... but i convince her to get it after about 20 min of conversation.

so i order my ice cream (a twist in a waffle cone!) and she orders the same. in less them 30 seconds she manages to drop half of her ice cream on the ground and gets it on herself.

of course she gets another free cone (the disney way) and we sit down to eat it. i manage not to drip it on my self once and she is basically covered in chocolate goodness.

we concluded that eating ice cream in the sun is something that takes three months of living in florida to understand.

my family rocks

So basically my family is awesome
As many of you can tell from the previous wall post my sister came to visit me in Florida… and it was awesome.

We were able to go to all four parks and back to Jacksonville for a very exciting jaguars football game. It also only rained one day out of the four they were here. (which was shocking especially after I told them that it rains everyday here a million times.)

We went to magic kingdom the first day where kinsey got her free tshirt for “spilling” something on herself. The second day we went to animal kingdom were we able to final get our first autograph in our autograph book that I thought was essential to get. We also went to epcot. The third day we went to my park (Hollywood studios) and then back to epcot and then back to studios. And on Saturday we went to Jacksonville.

So the reasons why my sisters are awesome is bc they surprised me with the best bday presents every. The first being a cupcake cake, a shirt that say “pretty much awesome”, a princess diner (which was pretty much awesome), and a shirt that says completely corn-fed (to show of my iowa pride).

It was great having them here and I am so glad that they finally understand the idea that august is Kelsey's birthday month. !!!!

There was five albums of photos we took.. they mostly just consist of photos were you can’t see the background just our pretty faces.

I am hoping that kaci will post the links for the photos for people can look at them !
