As we waited and waited we thought the bus was never going to come. Looking around our line was the longest out of all of them. Finally the bus came a little after 9. The good news was that it was a real magical express bus! Off to Disney World we go!
Soon the video started and I couldnt contain my excitement! Leandra was in love with the video and commented on the things that she remembered from the parks.
At 9:45 we were arriving to Art of Animation (which may or may not be the next resort we stay at for our next yolo trip!) I fell in love with this place on this trip. It is such a cute resort! After AOA it was our stop. The only thing that made me sad was that if you brought your luggage on the ME you got to walk to red carpet in the resort
.we were forced to wake around.
When we walked into the lobby we saw Alicia waiting for us, she already checked us in and then checked out the room. So we said our hellos and we were on our way to the 50s section of pop century!
On our way to the room we talked about how Wolfgang was out of the question since it was 10 and it closed at 11. So we opted on going to the food court instead. Our room was located on the fourth floor of the Lady statue building (building 1) looking out at some trees, real classy! We threw our carry ons in the room and took a walk back to the food court.
Now came the part where I had no clue what I wanted! Everything sounded good and I couldnt make up my mind. I walked back and fourth like a lost puppy but soon I made a decision. We all got our food, drinks, desserts and refillable mugs and grabbed a table. FOOD PIC TIME!
I got the Penne Alfredo, I enjoyed this. The chicken is huge I wasnt able to finish all. For dessert I got dirt in worms because Im a child and a powerade to save for later.
Alicia got the chicken and side salad. The salad seemed like it was sitting there all night (which it probably was) she just wanted the breadstick. For dessert she got the tie dye cheesecake and pomegranate tea for a drink (Which when she had it later on during the trip she said it wasnt all that great)
Leandra got the Mediterranean Flatbread which had chicken, peppers, artichoke hearts, olive tapenade, onions, and feta on it. She seemed to enjoy it. For dessert she got the brownie and picked up a bottle of water for when we go to the parks
Andy got what I was going to get, the famous chicken nuggets and fries. Always a good choice in my book. He got the chocolate cupcake and a bottle of sprite.
While eating our delicious disney food Alicia told us all about her first day of training and how excited she was about it. The training sounds like super fun and not job training
like can I have your life?
After we finished our first disney meal of the trip we all split up, me and Leandra filled our mugs with hot chocolate and went back to the room. On our way back we decided to stop by the pool to see if it was warm, we assumed it was since there was steam coming off the water. It was sooo warm! Thats when we can to a mutual decision that we will be going night swimming one of these nights.
On our way back it was that awkward moment when I wanted to drink my hot chocolate but I was afraid it was going to be to hot so I had to stop walking because I cant walk and drink hot chocolate at the same time
Leandra decided to see if it was super hot but took forever because she wanted just a tiny sip. We probably stood in the middle of the resort for a good 5 minutes trying to brave up and drink our hot chocolate
We went back to the room to find no Alicia or Andy, I would have thought they were be back since she had to get up for work. So we hung out and probably 5 minutes later they were back at the room. Sad note our luggage had still not arrived from the ME.
Since Alicias birthday was January 14 we brought down some gifts with us. I got her a little mermaid shirt that I found at kohls before Christmas, my mother sent down a card with some cash, and Andy bought her a baby hooded mickey mouse towel and a mini ipad.
Alicia and Andy decided to call it a night while Leandra and I stayed up to wait for our luggage
.or so we thought.
