My cousin has taken many of her friends to Disney, but she told me that I was the most excited person she has ever taken. Want an accomplishment! But I didn't really have to try, it came naturally to me. For me expressing my emotions and how I am feeling comes very easy to me. Once I was driving into Disney, through the elongated driveway where my excitement grew with every minute we drove, the child in me had officially come out and I was bursting with excitement. Disney will never, to me, ever get old.
No crying babies, demanding mothers, or whining children could ruin my good day. We started off the day by parking in "Happy Row 80" and drove the parking lot shuttle that was run by people in orange stripped uniforms. They were so cute! Everything I saw was exciting me, the uniforms, the parking lot shuttles, even going in the gates! It was such a wonderful experience. Disney does such a wonderful job with keeping dreams alive inside of children's hearts..or even college students hearts!
We then rode the Monorail over to Epcot which was an adventure in and of itself.
The view was awesome driving into Epcot. They were having a Festival of Flowers which was so beautiful! Words will not due it justice--
|
The flowers were so pretty!
|
They had also done some of the characters in flowers--
|
...then they had Donald Duck...
|
 |
| ...now we have Piglet and Eor... |
 |
| Rabbit and his garden... |
 |
| ...look at 'dem veggies! |
 |
| ...I do not know those people. |
 |
| Sleeping Beauty and her Prince (mine is on his way!) |
 |
| Lady and the Tramp... |
 |
| ...Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. |
 |
| Timon and Pumba (the Asian people entrhal me!) |
 |
| Simba and people I don't know...again. |
 |
| The original crew. |
 |
| To finish it off we have Daisey! |
 |
| Look out Jasamine, you've got some competition. ME. |
Also during my time at Epcot, I met Aladdin. I have always had a hugeee crush on Aladdin so when I had the chance to meet him without Jasamine being there, I was thrilled to say the least. So I turned up my charm and put on some lip-gloss then waited my turn in line full of little kids and demanded mothers that gave into their child's every need and whiny complaint. Soon enough it was my turn to have an unforgetable encounter with Aladdin. I stepped up to him and he says, "I love your pearls" I blush and grin but remember he can't read my mind and say, "Thank you". "So where are you from?" he asks, I respond "I'm from Asheville, NC--I live in the mountains" "Well," he starts, "We have some mountains in Agraba, have you been to Agraba before?" "No, I actually haven't" He goes on to say, "I could take you there sometime if you wanted on a magic carpet. But it is sort of scary, soo I don't know if you'd be alright with it." I stop him before he goes any further, "I don't think I would be afraid with you there." (what charm?!) Then he brings up Jasamine, "Of course, we would have to see if this is alright with Jasimine." To that I say, "Or we could not tell her?" He seems a bit taken aback so in my attempt to keep the conversation going I say, "But of course, I don't want to be a home-wrecker. Or a palace-wrecker for that matter." He laughs, he loves my jokes..I mean who couldn't?! He then begins to talk about his palace, he says how it is so much bigger than Cinderella's Castle and of course I agree hanging on to every word he says. (But now thinking back on him talking about how his palace is much bigger than any castle, was he maybe refering to something other than a castle? Do I sense an innuendo?) The camera people hurry us up, comeee on! You can't hurry up love. We take the picture and then meet up at my hotel that night and he takes me out to a lovely dinner and we now have futures plans to see one another in the near future.
 |
| We are so natural together! |
The fun is not over yet! After we finished our tour of the different countries and a wonderful lunch in Morocco we hopped back on the Monorail to Magic Kingdom!
The Magic Kingdom was simply magical. We walked around and I was able to meet Mickey and many of my cousins friends she worked with!
 |
| Mickey, Emma and me! |
I was also able to meet three of the Princesses! A big advantage of going with someone who works there, is that we can go IN the EXIT meaning I didn't have to wait in a line that would have lasted us an hour or more.
 |
| I'm glad she was able to stay awake for this. |
 |
Cinderella and me.
|
 |
| My all-time favorite, Belle. |
We also stayed for the fireworks at 8:00 and the parade before that. But my camera could not get any decent pictures at night, so you will have to take my word for it. The fireworks were amazing! Hands down, best fireworks show ever! (of course it helps when you have the man of your dreams beside you, Aladdin ;] ) They also did this amazing lights show with the Castle before the fireworks! It was all so wonderful and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to go! It was a fabulous start to a very busy week!
