Here are a few pictures!

Ok, peoples. I'm tired and frustrated with Disney, so here are some pictures of us at different events and such. Sorry, no stories, just pictures...unless of course you want me to complain about Disney...

These were taken on Thomas' birthday! The 4 of the 5 of us took that night to celebrate and have fun! Jennifer (the bum) didn't want to... She no like us... :(

Anyways, we had lotsa fun and I think Thomas had a good birthday!

Pirate or Princess?

Hey everybody! Just thought I'd post since I finally got off before dark!!! Anyways, Kyle and I have had the pleasure of going to two Pirate and Princess Parties in Magic Kingdom. Here are some of our pics...

Here we are going into Magic Kingdom during our first P and P Party!

Here we are with two random camels in Adventureland... I think the one beside me was flirting..

Here we are with our opera glasses on...going to see Mickey's Philhar-Magic! Awesome show by the way!

Here's Kyle trying to look cool...Ain't he cute!

Here we kinda are in front of the castle... It is very pretty at night!

Here we are on the bus going to the second P and P Party! Yay!

Here I am...in a skirt...

Here is Kyle...as Kyle...

Afterwards, we went dancing! Ha ha, just kidding!

If there is ever another P and P Party and you have the opportunity to attend, go! Not many people want to pay the extra money, so there are practically no lines at the rides. So, instead of standing in line for an hour or more, you can just walk right in. At the second party we went to, the park was almost empty. We wanted to ride Big Thunder Mountain and there was no wait whatsoever! They just kept telling people at the end of the ride that if they wanted to ride again, then stay in their seats. We got to ride twice in a row without having to leave the ride! How awesome is that!

Well, on Thomas' birthday, Kyle and I are going with him and Becca to the very last Pirate and Princess Party! Yay!!! We wanted Jennifer to come with us, but she didn't want to take off that night... The one and only chance we will have to do something like this and she won't go...

Anyways, I have more to post, but not tonight! I'm tired and have to be up at 6:30 in the morning. :(

Later days, peoples!

So I'm not Houdini...

But I still make magic! At Disney-MGM Studios we showkeepers get to do random "Magical Moments" with the guests. A MM consists of playing a random type game, usually with a child you see sitting down with his/her parents that looks bored. For our MM's we usually tote with us a basket of fruit and two garbage pickers... The game I usually choose to play with the munchkins is were I "spill" the fruit on the ground and then challenge the children to a race to see who can get the most fruit in the basket. For their participation the child recieves a certificate, with their name on it, that makes them an "MGM Junior Showkeeper"!
Today I was assigned to do a MM at around 5pm. I first found a little girl named Kassandra who reminded me A LOT of my niece Jordan. She had so much fun picking up the fruit that it was hard to get away! She was so sweet though that I let her race me about 3 times before I had to call it quits. Normally I try to do more than one magic moment while I'm out, so I set off to find another munchkin. Five o'clock is a hard time to do a MM because there aren't that many kids just sitting around. A main reason being that their parents are either ready to leave or are looking for a place to eat supper. After searching a bit though I am joined in my Magic Moment quest by a friend who is also a showkeeper. My fellow co-worker and I wander a bit more before we come across another unsuspecting victim...uh, I mean guest. This young man's name was Joshua and he was very shy, but with a little coaxing from us and his mom he decides to play. For being such a quiet lad he was very focused on beating the poor custodian...by 2 fruit at that! I was so close! It was rigged I tell ya' and my co-worker was in on it too! *mumbles under breath*
All in all it was a pretty good day. Here's a couple pics from events I didn't cover in the past week...

Went to this place Tuesday...

With these people...

and rode this.

It was very tempting...

And this poor confused custodian came to ask us what time the 3 o'clock parade ran.

I've been seeing them everywhere since I got here and finally I could take it no longer. For $3.75 you are MINE, Tropical Fruit Smoothie!

Wednsday I got to play at Animal Kingdom with my Aunt Vanetta, Uncle Andrew and cousins Jeremy and Shana who were here for a convention! And no, it was not raining. I took this picture after we got off of the "Kali River Rapids" It took most of the day for us to dry off.

This is what I look like trying to get the camera back from Jeremy after "Kali".

...and these are our butt prints on a bench.

We also visited the natives of the park.

...and shockingly enough got Mr. Andrew on this:

...but not this:

Well, I'll be signing off for now. "Have Magical Day!"

It's the truth; it's actual...

Hello my lovelies.

Welcome to the super-stupendous after-Valentine's mega-post!

My apologies for not updating lately. We have a lot to cover, so let's get started.



Epcot! Becca and Thomas went all around World Showcase at Epcot last week.

Here's your requesite Becca with food picture. This time it's a churro, a delightful Latin American fried pastry similar to a funnel cake. Available in Mexico, among other places.





Squirrel wants churro.....



Thomas and Becca with Pooh and Piglet. Cute. Yes. Cute.



Becca demanded that the Sheriff from Robin Hood sign her autograph book.... or else....



C'est une jolie image, non ?
(This is a pretty picture, no?)

Leaving Epcot, there are a number of feral felines that congregate around our apartments. Somehow, um, err, mysteriously a small silver can of cat sustenance might have happened to appear near some of them while we just happened to have a camera handy.



How about some random costume pictures?

Becca got transferred from Animal Kingdom Custodial to Tusker House restaurant, also in Animal Kingdom. She has two costumes, the first one for front counter service (minus the athletic pants underneath):



The second one is her "chef" costume for working in the kitchen.



And here's a random Nikki pic.



She got an extra shift at Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique in Downtown Disney. She loved her costume. She makes a cute little fairy.....

For Valentine's Day, Thomas and Becca had both Valentine's and the day after off together, so we enjoyed a very nice "mini-vacation."



To start, we went to Port Orleans Riverside Resort to Boatwright's Dining Hall where Thomas works to have breakfast.




Why is it called Boatwright's? Because inside they are building a boat of course! :)





After breakfast, we took the ferry boat down the Sassagoula River to Downtown Disney to do some more shopping before our 40% holiday discount ended.

We went to Magic Kingdom after that to shop a little more and go on a couple rides, including Mickey's Philharmagic and...........

SPLASH MOUNTAIN!!!



'Twas very good, as always.

Then we went home for the evening to watch LOST. We rested and relaxed the morning after Valentine's, and went out to dinner at Crystal Palace-- A Buffet with Character back in Magic Kingdom again.

Guess who the characters there are?

Pooh:




Piglet:




Eyeore:



And Tigger:



It was kinda chilly, and we got new coats, so, here's a pretty pic of us in front of Cinderella's Castle.



And finally, a bit of randomness. For all you hunters out there. There are ducks EVERYWHERE. Such as these:




Take care now, byebye then.
