I can't believe how fast the time is going! It's crazy to think I only have 3 weeks left here. In some ways I feel like I just barely got here. I still have a lot I want to do so I'm going to be keeping busy! So the past 2 weeks I've spent a lot of my time off resort hopping. Before I came to Disney World I had no idea how big it was. I mean I had heard it was way bigger than Disneyland, but you can't really understand it until you've been here. At Disneyland there's pretty much just the 2 Disney hotels - the one you can take the monorail to and then the one by California Adventure. I guess there's a good chance I'm wrong since I haven't been to Disneyland for a couple years, but that's how I remember it. So when my family goes to Disneyland we stay at some other hotel down the street, but everything is basically always in walking distance.


Well here at Disney World it's way different. There are close to 20 Disney resorts and all the resorts and parks are way spread out, so there are buses that will take you everywhere you need to go. I've made it a point to visit every resort, and I accomplished my goal today!! It's been a lot of fun going to all of the resorts and walking around the lobbies and grounds, and it's especially fun to see the Christmas decorations that are up in a lot of them. Some of my favorites were the Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, BoardWalk, and Pop Century. And obviously Port Orleans because I work there! Overall I think I liked the BoardWalk the best. I would love to stay there someday! It was a really fun atmosphere, and plus it's walking distance to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios which would be super nice.



Giant Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian - yeah, that's real gingerbread!


Other than resort hopping I've just been working a lot. I made it to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios last week with a friend from work, and today one of my roommates and I went to Animal Kingdom. The main reason we went was because one of our other roommates was working there today. She's a character performer and is 'friends with' Winnie the Pooh. And by 'friends with' I mean she is. Haha so yeah that was a lot of fun! She was so excited to see us and we got some good pictures! And her sign she does when she sees people she knows is to touch her nose.....it's her way of saying "I 'nose' you." Haha so that's why we're all doing the nose point - because we know each other!

Kamrie! I mean Pooh!

Eeyore!

Tigger!
Animal Kingdom Lodge - I was getting tired. Haha


So everything is going good for me here. I fly home 3 weeks from today! And Morgan and Emily come in 6 days!! I can't wait! I'm just not looking forward to the crazy Christmas working hours!
