Food and Wine Kicks my butt


So it's been awhile since i've posted and I apologize for that. It's mostly because I am very short on time here these days. I've begun working on the food and Wine festival that's here. It run's from Sept 27th too November 8th. It's a great event to attend and explore. The way it works is that they have small little kiosks representing countries from around the world where you can buy a small sample sized portion of food from that region which is also paired with a wine or other alcoholic beverage that you can buy. It's really a great event for adults that want to spend a day trying some great exotic food and wines. Though it can empty your bank account very quickly!

Now having said how great the event itself is I can tell you working in one of those booths is far from fun. I work weekends which is the busiest time and my shifts are 11 hours atleast. The parks are so full and the booths are quite stuffy so that their is really not time to rest for even a moment. Thankfully I do work with some great people that make it easier to deal with and the massive lines mean that your so busy the time passes very quickly but at the end of the day I'm exhausted and posting too this blog is the farthest thing from my mind. So that explains my absence. Now to catch you all up on what i've been up to.

Last week I conquered my final disney attraction. I did Tower of Terror! I have to thank Melanie, Rachel and Alana for the considerable amount of peer pressure that they applied to make me go on it (They forgave me for loudly exclaiming how much I hated each of them while standing in line). And since that was the last ride I needed to do that I was scarred to do here I even bought the souvenir picture as proof. Anyone how visits me remind me to show you it. My face is truly priceless. It wasn't as bad as I had built up in my head but then these things never are. But I still am probably not going to make it one of those rides I run to go on again and again. Though I have promised Heather I will go with her soon.

I also had a wonderful Animal Kingdom with Sebastian, Callista and Xavier's good friends Belle, Boba Fett and Stitch and they asked me to take some pictures to show everyone.

Here we are heading into Animal Kingdom. Everyone is really excited to go on some rides!


Everyone is really happy to be seeing all the different animals on the safari. And we even helped stop some Poachers!

They thought the big tree of life was really cool and wanted a picture in front of it.

They also helped us find alot of the hidden mickeys that were around. In the background you can see Expedition Everest which was our next stop.

They wouldn't let us take pictures on the ride so we took a picture outside the ride where you can see the big drop we went down.

We found Lilo and Stitch and Xaviers little stitch got to pose on top of his head!
Then we went and ate at Sanaa. They were mostly happy to see all the animals outside.
Though they certainly enjoyed the food too! Especially the Naan bread.
