FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER...I'm NOT GOING HOME!! UPDATE DEC.30 PG 74

[TinksThree]

I ended up finding this tote bag which is now my work bag



Oh my I love this!!!

And one last picture of everything I bought

I am over the top excited about going here! I have a list of things earmarked to buy! I am getting the elephant for Madison for sure! I have 85 days to decide on a color! Love seeing the pictures...it has helped me dream and drool just a little bit more!

 

[LuvEeyore]

Love the bags!!

 

[praisehisname]

Love all the stuff you got at the co-op! It looks like it would be easy to spend hours in there looking around!

Those wristlet purses are very cute. I've been tempted to get one because I really like to travel light. Does an iPhone 5 fit in one of them? Do you have to go through bag check if you are bringing a wristlet purse into the park? I'm all about avoiding bag check but I need a place for my phone.

Those veras are all so adorable. I love the wristlets too! They make going to the parks easy.

Yup - I would never pay $35 for a cell phone cover when I can order one for $5 off Amazon. Not gonna happen!

Sounds like another fun and full day!

I was too!

That elephant is just too cute!

I am glad I could help!

It is very easy!

I am sure it would! There is plenty of space in my blue wristlet after putting my phone in it.

I am not sure. I have never only brought a wristlet to the parks.

I know! I really had to control myself!

I agree! I usually get mine for 2-3 dollars.

It was!

You're doing an impressive job keeping up with this I'm so happy for you that you're getting to do so many fun things!

I love that pink Vera pattern.

 

[Credit Man]

Finally caught up. Congrats on earning your ears!!!

Well I just couldn't stay away from the Co-op. I got a small Perfect Petals bag after looking through about two dozen to find one with the perfect Mickey head position

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Congratulations on EARNING YOUR EARS!

The bags you bought from the Co-op are too cute! And oh my gosh, $35-$45 for a cell phone case?! That's crazy!

My husband and I saw you with your CM group in training at Magic Kingdom on the 24 hour party day. We were walking past the Mine Ride towards Dumbo and your group was walking towards the tea cups. I wanted yell 'Hi', but did not want to interrupt your training.

 

[pkondz]

Today was a longer work day for me and I didn't get out until 915.

Just curious, but do CMs have any extra duties when they close an attraction?
Or do you just walk away and let someone else do whatever needs doing?

But I did perk up when I saw random baby alligators outside!

I would think that random baby alligators would perk anyone up.

When you get your golf clubs and scorecard they tell you to look for certain "hidden items" throughout the course. Well they hid them very well because we only found three of them

And you were tired.
We'll give you a pass on this one.

I got a hole in one but Sean ended up winning. I will blame it on how tired I was and this in no way reflects my awesome mini golf skills

But of course.
Your mini golf prowess is legendary.

When you got in line they gave you sheets of the Vera Bradley bags so you could choose which ones you wanted while you waited.

Uh, huh. Completely for your benefit. It's not like they'll make money or anything.

Our first stop was in line for the Veras!

Where I got these babies!

Very nice, buy you'll forgive me if I'm not overwhelmed by purses.

Disney representing my home team!

How much did you freak out when you saw that?

So many cute phone cases but I would never spend that much on a phone case!

Those prices are nuts!

Then a TrenD area for little girls

How much did you buy for yourself in that section? :
Thanks for keeping up the posts!

When we went over Christmas, the times we had only the wristlets they told us we did not have to go through the bag check. It was pretty awesome! Sadly, most times at least one of us needs a bag though.

The marketplace Co-Op may be where I spend all of my budget when I am down there. There are so many things I love in there!!!

Thank you! It has been a lot of fun so far!

It's too cute!

June 10

The weekend brought a lot of hours and work. I plan on telling you stories about my work adventures once I get caught up since it's hard to distinguish what happened what day since they tend to all run together Instead I am jumping to Tuesday when my roommate Taylor and I went to Epcot!

We didn't have plans to get there at rope drop and basically woke up whenever got dressed and headed over. We still made it over there around 10-1030 so we did pretty well!

Our first stop was my second home



Even though I spend a ton of time here the ride and Turtle Talk do not get boring! I visit this ride on almost all of my day off park days and I love saying hi to everyone

Since we got there late they didn't have any good fast passes available and we were planning on spending time in the countries anyway. I think we hit up Figment then headed on over to Canada


Taylor wanted to watch O Canada! and you all know how much I love this movie!



It leaves me wanting to be a honorary Canadian! Maybe one of my DIS friends can hook it up?


I insisted we take silly hat pictures so here was our first one!



We really want to drink and snack around the world so it was time for us to start! We headed in to the Rose and Crown Pub! I had heard good things about this bar and Taylor likes beer so I thought why not?!



I didn't have high hopes of finding anything for me to drink here but they had something amazing! Something that is now my favorite drink in the world!



It's Strongbow with a shot of fruit juice and it's amazing!! I loved it!

While we were in the UK we took our hat pic




We saw that Tigger and Pooh were out without much of a line so we got in line to see them. This was such a fun character interaction! Tigger was very bouncy and fun and Pooh fell in love with me. He made me give him a ton of kisses and Taylor asked Tigger how he handles Pooh's craziness. Tigger mimed making himself a drink We took a cute picture




and then Pooh tried leaving with me We gave them more hugs then turned to leave but not before Pooh dropped to his knees and started reaching out for me so Tigger had to hold him back We laughed so much and this was such a great memory!

After the Pooh craziness we headed to France



where we got fancy



Taylor was debating the movie here but we were both hungry and decided to skip it.

Our next stop was Morocco where I had my eye set on some ice cream!



I got Pistachio Orange Blossom and Green Tea. It was so good and refreshing!!


It started raining a little bit so we just hung out in the shops until it passed.





We also took our picture




Next up was a quick stop in Japan




where we finally had some lunch




The sushi here is so good!

We checked out the store where I got this very cute yet sad phone case



We didn't see any hats here so we continued on in to America where I got drink number 2! It was the red stag lemonade I had been wanting to try for a long time but had never gotten around to




it was good but nowhere near as good as my strongbow!

Taylor wanted a cookie and some coffee so once she had those we just went and sat in Italy. This was our view





I just love being able to go to the parks and see views like these!

We hung out here for a while since I needed to find an outlet to charge my cell phone.

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Once I was at a reasonable percentage we headed in to Germany!



Where we found crazy hats!



and I found this piece of beauty!



It tasted sooo good!!


I had my snack on our way to China.



Here we had a lot of fun looking around the store and trying on hats









Next up was Norway and Maelstrom was a long wait so we just headed in to the shop for a hat pic




We were both getting tired so we finished up quickly there and headed to Mexico. We tried on hats



and rode the Gran Fiesta Tour!



It was an awesome day but we were both beat afterward! We had to run from Mexico to the tram through a terrible storm and ended up drenched!

My day wasn't over yet though after the long day at Epcot Sean and I headed to Jellyrolls! I was so excited to be able to get back there! I was recognized by the waitress when we got there so it was pretty awesome! It was a fun night of singing along and having a couple of drinks and an awesome walk around the area

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Sounds like a fund day! So great to just be able to go to the park and hang out and not be concerned with getting specific things done. Loved all the hat pics! (though, as someone of German decent I like to think of those hats as dignified, not silly )

Glad you are finding drinks you like. If you ever come across a gluten free wheat/whit beer you can get orange juice in it and have like a beer mimosa (we do that with Hoegaarden and it is really good!)

 

[dawnbu40]

Sounds like such a fun day! Sean better play his cards right or else you may run off with Pooh

I love all the hat pics but what the heck is that gold one


Thanks for sharing your day off with us

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

This really got me thinking. What other job would you freely go to on your time off? Not many I assure you.

You are now officially an Honourary Canadian (and also why you must now spell honour and colour with a "u"). Yup, it's really that easy.

OMG I would have died if I saw Tigger mime drinking.

Loving the moderate Drinking and Hats around the World. That's a good concept.
