Merida + Be Our Guest

Today we met Merida!!

I loved her!

and THEN we went to Be Our Guest!!

It was gorgeous inside! (But pretty dark)

I got the quiche...and...well, uhh...I really liked the salad

No worries though, I finished off my meal with the "Master's cupcake" which was topped with the grey stuff! 

(I don't need to ask the dishes anymore...it really is delicious :) )

I've now decided that I want to live in a castle, is that asking too much?

P.S. Buffalo Wild Wings found a way to make itself even better--BALLOONS!! 

Seriously though, this girl definitely had a gift and I'm jealous of her mad skills

We were in awe, I mean, she even included Anna's white streak! 

Engagement + ANNA AND ELSA

I can't even begin to describe how fantabulistic yesterday and today have been!  

Yesterday: 

Melanie and I both had the day off so, obviously, we had an adventure! We started our day by picking up her friend, Adam, and headed to MK. Our first stop at the park was guest relations...you see, one of my goals is to collect all of the buttons we hand out, and Adam was kind enough to oblige!! (He's a gentleman and a scholar)

Next stop, Sleepy Hallow Inn 

Fruit and Nutella waffle= food HEAVEN!

After several rides (and many congratulations on our engagement) we got Starbucks-- BASIC!

Then, on the way to the confectionary (I'm just now realizing how fattening my day was...) we got bombarded by the suffragists. Good thing we're quick on our feet because they asked us all about our story/proposal. Then they proceeded to announce (to the entire street) our engagement!

When we finally made it into the confectionary, I got a chocolate covered pinapple skewer (even better than it sounds)

Hollywood studios next. Rode Tower of Terror, Rock'n Roller coaster, and Star Tours. After that we went BACK to Magic Kingdom and watched Wishes....overall, I hope my real engagement day is as perfect as my fake one :)

Today: 

NORWAY HAPPENED! If you don't know what's in Norway, then you need to get your life together (or just read the next sentence...).  Once we made it to Epcot, we walked straight to the line for Anna and Elsa!! In this line, I definitely got more than I bargained for-- I met Belle!!

I also visited the Norwegian bakery about 15 times (it was a very long wait)

I bought rollekake :) FABULOUS!!

Also, I made amazing Norwegian friends!! And, of course, when you make great Norwegian friends in the bakery, you take selfies! 

While there, a kind sir bought me Viking coffee (I guess talking to everyone who comes through the line with your British accent has it's benefits)

Returned to the line for a while...talked...got bored...went to the bakery a few more times...went to the Norwegian gift shop and got the Frozen soundtrack (FINALLY)

(Yes, that IS Melanie awkwardly photo bombing my picture)

Went back to the line and convinced like 4 people to get the Viking coffee as well...you're welcome Norway! Then, I was gifted another one :) 

Three hours later we MADE IT!!! 

This is my, you're my favorite people on the planet/I am in awe of you/you are gorgeous/I completely relate to you/I have watched your movie 5 times/please let me stay here forever face!

HAPPIEST DAY OF LIFE (other than my engagement of course...)

YAAAAYYY

I even got to see Olaf!!!

These two days have definitely been the most fun days of my program yet :)

Work/Studios/MK

Work:

I've gotta be honest, I was slightly concerned about my placement (though, most of the concern began when I got my lovely costume), but it's been fabulous so far (other than my costume). My managers and coworkers are so nice and, more importantly, there has been some sort of food for us everyday I've worked! APPROVE! 

Hollywood Studios:

Almost twenty days into my program with no Tower of Terror...not okay! So, when I got off at 3:30 today, I realized that I was desperate enough to brave the park alone. Kinda lame, but I mean come on, Tower of Terror is worth it! 

Thankfully, I didn't actually have to go alone because as soon as I walked through the front gates I met three fabulous co-DCP gals :)  

P.S. That random guy on the right is pretty hilarious

Then Rock'n Roller Coaster happened. HECK YES

So glad I finally made it!!!

Magic Kingdom:

After Studios, I met Melanie at Magic Kingdom (I won't include the embarrassing part about how I lost my car in the parking lot...) for the late night hours. We went to the confectionary for the first time tonight and OMG.

We both got a chocolate covered fruit skewer and a rice crispy pop. So. GOOD!

And of course we had to ride Space Mountain :)

Very long, but VERY successful day :D

Animal Kingdom!!

My first visit (to Animal kingdom)!!

The tree of life

Random forty year old man, in his mitten scarf, asleep...?

Safari goofy

We met Baloo and King Louie

and they posed for us :)

Then we went on the safari...twice! 

So many beautiful elephants :)

Mufasa and Sarabi!

Hehe, I like his face

MT EVEREST!!!

So...that happened

Then I "discreetly" took a picture of the grown man with fabulous face painting...but evidently they figured out what was going on. My bad.

Good day :)
