I can't believe you couldn't sleep even after leaving the house at 2:30am! I am not good about sleeping on a plane either, but I would have been knocked out! Maybe it was your burnt coffee?

I've heard alot about DME and it sounds great! I'll never get to experience it because I live too close, but it sounds like fun. Watching Disney resort videos on a bus headed to WDW - oh the anticipation that one must feel! I'll have to try to re-create it one day with a portable dvd player and some classic Disney movies!

You have a full day in Orlando coming up! I'm interested to see what you do in the upcoming installment because I don't know that I could function with so little sleep! Though, I guess I could muster up some if I was at WDW!

Yeah he's a 27 y/o teenager who is in love with another girl.

Stupid *****

Wow, I just found out I have one of those too. Except we've been dating for 3 years Men are stupid. I second that.

On the bright side, this is a good trip report so far, however it's still not quite getting my mind off things. But thanks!

I'm finally uploading my first video to youtube.

In a way, it's too bad that I was filming the tv screen because the most hilarious thing happened.

A guy was running across the street then into a ditch. As he was going down the hill, he totally fell. My mom who was not paying that much attention was like: "Hey where did this guys go? One second he's there. The other he's not." hahahahah I don't wanna be mean. I do hope he's fine. But it was really funny. I would have won money on the most outrageous moments show hehehe

Before getting to Riverside, we made a stop at Old Key West. People had to get off there. It looks soooooooooo lovely. I want to stay there one day.

Then we were on our way to the French Quarter.

And finally to Riverside.

The driver was really nice, even holding my hand as I exited.

We went to check-in, and met the loveliest CM. Her name was Danielle. The check-in was very effective. And within minutes, we were off to our room.

Like last time, we were in Acadian House. We had requested to be in Magnolia Bend and have a 1st floor room. We were near the room we had in December.

Even though we thought our room was far from the lobby, it was closer to the bus stop.

We checked out our room, then headed to the cafeteria to eat. I was starving at that time.

It was around 1pm.

We ate a bit. Then made a pit stop at the store to get a few water bottles and cokes for the room. (You know, for at night when it's dark. We don't like to walk around the resort at night, especially not alone).

As we got back, we noticed that our luggage had arrived.

We decided to relax a bit and nap. Then head to Downtown in the evening.

I was not able to sleep for some reason.

So while my mom napped, I unpacked our suitcases and decorated our window.

And guess what.

I suddenly heard a bus pull-up. I was wondering what it was. We weren't that close to the bus stop after all.

I look out the door, and surprise surprise. Brazil invasion.

Yep.

We were surrounded by a group of brazilian tourists.

They didn't seem to all be teenagers though. They seemed to be of all ages.

The "chaperones" room was actually next to ours. OH NO!! Thank goodness it was not the adjoining room.

My mom woke up, and I told her about the group. She was happy either.

So by the time we sat down and wondered what we were about to do, we were too exhausted. So we decided to stay at the room.

We walked around a bit, and I snapped a few pictures for you guys.

I liked the sticker they put on the recycling bin.

The fountain in front of our room.

Our old side of the building. In decembere we were on the second floor, right to the left of the stairs.

Hidden Mickey on the drape that separates the room from the sinks.

I stumbled onto it hehehe

Believe it or not, I'm not quitting on the idea of my parents buying a condo in FL. hehehe I'm trying to find trust worthy agencies. hehe

So I'll soon be harrassing all my friends to know if they know someone who owns in FL hehehe

The night was pleasant. We were very tired. By 9pm I was asleep. My mom soon followed.

Next up.... How will we be feeling the next day? Would we tackle a park? Will the group keep us up all night?
