So we stop at the Guard Station and grab our Parking Pass.

I took the opportunity to take a picture.

So after we got our Parking Pass we drove up to the Lobby Building. We get valet and the person to come and grab our bags.
We walk into the lobby and WHOOSH! Amazing doors opening. First thing me and Jenn said where, OOH!

So we walk over and Check In. While Grandma and Jenn are checking in, I Take the chance and walk around the Lobby and snap Photos.

Sorry for not updating. Out of Town visiting Family

When you last left this trip, We had checked in, unpacked, and relaxed. Now it is the time for the STENCH of...DISCOVERY!

So by this time the Grandma and Sister are hungry, yet, I am not. So we go outside and explore the hotel. We go to the food market and I look around. I see something looking good and their called Zebra Domes. . I thought, YUM! IM GETTING THESE! Althogh, I didn't even want to THINK about how many calories there where in just one of those delicious things. So Jenn grabs a chicken ceaser salad and Grandma gets a Chicken sandwitch.

as we stand and watch them make the food, we notice the woman is weird.She was pretending to eat the food and we noticed our food looked like it might be burning..then she picks it up and its nice and done. Ok...weird?

So we grab our food and sit outside because it is nice and hot out..err..okay? . Seriously folks, it was nice out because it was right next to the pool and the birdys. . Here is a quick snapshot.

We stand up to go walking and Jenn finds she has BIRD POOP On her butt. it was HILARIOUS. So i run off and grab a napkin, and start cracking up laughing. Jenn was like, I KNEW YOU WOULD DO THAT! So I lean down and start wiping the back of Jenns pants with a napkin. Because, thats what sisters do. although i think the people around us thought something else was going on...
So then we do a little walking and look at the beautiful animals around the Resort.
Giraffes, Zebras, and..I SPOTTED A BUNNY!!!!
Cuteee.

So by then our food is digested and we go back up to the room and i put my 3/5 zebra domes in the mini-fridge that was in our room.
I take a shower, do my hair, and then everyone else gets ready.

and..


ITS HOOP-DEE-DOO REVIEW TIME!!


Next Chapter: 3 Lovely Girls From Florida that we have here! [Spotlight on] WHAT!

 

[Eeyore's Tiara]

That's not nice to laugh at your sister when she has bird poo on her...

But I guess it must be the thing to do because my daughters do it to each other all the time. Point and laugh... After they are done laughing, then they get them a napkin or something to wipe it off.

My daughters are reading over my shoulder as I write this making comments on what I should write.

They keep mentioning that we should say something about their stepdad getting bird poo on him. That would be mean and just plain wrong.

Loving your trip report and I am glad to see that you are starting to write at an early age. Keep it up.

 

[Hollywoodhaha]

Off to HOOPDEEDOO!

When we left off, my sister had sat in something unpleasent. We traveled back to the room and got ready for the Dinner Show.

After getting ready, I chose my best Mickey Ears to show off.
Hmm..Pirate or Gold? I chose PIRATE! I love Pirates.
SO OFF WE GO!

Apparently we must take a bus to the Magic Kingdom and then a Boat to the Fort Wilderness lodge. GREAT!

Me on the bus [yay! first picture I am actually shown..heehee]

After we step off the bus, i take in my 1st daily look at the MK. -Sigh-. WE ARE HERE! I bounce around and jump and skip and get excited. Then I see the castle. YAY! But, sadly, we don't go there until..tomorrow. .
So we hop on the boat and settle down for a peaceful ride to the FW Lodge. We see a little girl who is probably 4 years young or so..! What a little spoiled brat! You can see the horns holding up her halo..seriously! I was like, wow.. . Her mom said 'settle down' and the little angel replied, "NO YOU SETTLE DOWN, MOMMY!". Me and my sister where like, WOWW...

Yeah. So we arrive at the Fort Wildnerness and go, WOW. This place is NICE! I wanted to ride in a golf cart..its so long around no wonder they had them. So we check in and then get our picture taken. i was like, i look icky! ah well..
Then we go and look around at the animal places.

So after taking much needed family photos, it is TIME TO GO INSIDE!
We have the perfect view on the balcony. FABULOUS!

During the show, me and my grandma and sister got chosen to have the spotlight on us. The funny guy came up and was like, where are you from? We reply, Florida. So they shine the spotlight on us and spoke 'these three lovely ladies are from Florida!" then they started singing about sun and beaches and things such as that. I was like, ow this is making my eyes hurt but COOL!

YUM!!!! Those Ribs where the BEST! The Salad and Corn-Bread where great, too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOW!

After the show we got Strawberry short-cake. YUM!

we bought our pictures but i dont feel like scanning it in right now, so I will show it..later!

Then we run out and find our bus and I fall asleep on the bus..
Get off, walk about a mile to our hotel room and take a shower. Then we all fall asleep..ready for a FRESH DAY FOR THE MAGIC KINGDOM!
