I'M IN AMERICA BABY!

So I'm officially here in America and posting from my apartment in Vista Way! Pretty exciting right! So much has happened and so much to update!!

The flight out was fine and honestly didn't feel that long, watching films and chatting makes the time pass quickly! When we landed we had to queue for 2 hours to get through immigration...it was SO long and such a slow queue. We then got a taxi to Vista Way where we found out where we were living. We were able to choose who we want to live with, so myself and three of the girls I'm travelling with afterwards are all going to be living together in Vista Way! Woohoooo!! :) Party central. We got to our apartment and it's dead cute :) We made the essential trip to Walmart to get bedding, towels and breakfast food. By the time we got to bed it was midnight, which is 5am English time! That's a long 22hour day!! Zzzz

The first official day in Florida!...We had meetings very early, so no time for jet lag! The meetings were about immigration and filling out paperwork and we had a lunch break so went to the nearby outlet mall - saw A LOT of stuff I wanted to buy. Roll on payday!! The afternoon talk was so overly Disney America happy cheesy, was amazing! Typically what you would think of about Disney employees! We had a special evening as it was one of the girl's 21st birthday. So we went to the Polynesian Resort for cocktails and nibbles, caught the Monorail to the Grand Floridan for some photo opportunities at this beautiful Disney hotel and then jumped back on the Monorail to go to the Contemporary resort. The Disney store we went into was amazing, I literally saw so many Disney goodies I wanted to buy!! Then we watched the Wishes fireworks over Cinderella Castle from the resort, was so amazing and emotional. Officially hit home that we were in Disney! I can't wait until we get our passes so we can go into the theme parks!!

The next day consisted of some more meetings and finding out where we were working!! *drumroll* I will be working in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom! So pleased :) I start training on Sunday and get my costume too! Excited to see what it is like. Another trip to Walmart followed to buy some sexy work shoes...don't you just LOVE them?!...although they are very comfy in all honesty!

We got caught in a massive rain downpour and got absolutely drenched...this was the start of Tropical Storm Andrea!

In the evening we went to the 'Where's Perry Welcome Party'; consisting of some typical 90s music, free pizza and getting to meet the our first Disney characters - Phineas and Ferb. It was lots of fun and a fun atmosphere :)

Today we woke up to horrendous tropical storms and rain - never made better knowing it's sunny at home! But we're heading off to Downtown Disney soon for a wander round the shops and for dinner! 

So that's my update for now. I'm loving it and loving all the Disney and American people. Everyone is so happy and friendly - they really cannot do enough for you. I just can't wait to start work and be a part of that.... 'Have a magical day!'
