making it to the land of the mouse

Long time no blog. Things have been busy in the past month, and even more so the past couple of days. Saturday morning, my aunt, Janet, and uncle, Gene, helped me load up and all three of us together began our journey to Disney World. We also had Wolfie with us.



We saw many interesting things along the way.

In Metropolis, Illinois, we got to meet Superman himself.


As well as many other landmarks. We even ran into a large statue of a cow in Georgia. Still not sure on the story of that one.


After two days, we did make it to Florida soil..



And then onto Disney World!



Our hotel, the Regal Sun Resort, was great. The beds were comfortable, and we never really ran into any trouble from them.. Other then the front desk always being busy. When you're in Disney World though, you should always expect lines. Even when you are employed by them.

We made it!

On Monday, we visited Epcot, and on Tuesday, we went to the Animal Kingdom. In both parks we had a great time. In Epcot though, we were pulled aside in the Seas department and asked if we had time to spare.. And then were given a full backstage tour of how the sea creatures were taken care of. It was amazing! We learned a lot about how the animals were taken care of, and how Disney World made it's own salt water for it's underwater wildlife. The dolphins kept checking us out in during the tour while we were looking at them. The manatees meanwhile weren't so curious, and kept to themselves. The room these animals are given is impressive, and Disney definitely does what they can to keep them healthy. If one fish is sick, then they check on not just that fish, but all of the sealife. Bravo Disney.

We even got to be the First Family in the America presentation. What a day.


Check in for the program was Wednesday. I will be working at Cosmic Ray's in the Magic Kingdom, which from what I've heard, the second largest kitchen in the world! (Only second to Mc Donalds, over in Moscow.) I will update you all more on these past couple days in the next post.. Which hopefully shouldn't be too long from now. Today is Traditions, our first actual work day. Time to learn about the Disney magic.
