My last few days in Disney

I can't believe my time at Disney has come to an end.. I've had the most amazing experience and memories and friends that will last a lifetime. This has been and will always be, one of the best experiences of my life. It really is true that all your dreams come true at Disney.

On Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom early and enjoyed a full day at the park. Followed by coming home and heading to Hooters for dinner...where better hey?! I obviously bought a Hooters t-shirt! Then we went to Magic Kingdom to watch the Main Street Electrical Parade, Celebrate the Magic and finally Wishes fireworks. It was such an emotional evening and was so special to spend it with all my friends. It was horrible saying goodbye to my friends though and an end to our Disney summer adventure together. However, it's never a 'goodbye', it's a 'see you real soon'.

On Friday, Louise, Bryony and I said goodbye to Vista Way and apartment 2109 and went to Disney's All Star Sports resort for the next few nights! We had a relaxing day by the pool and then when Bryony's friend from England, Becky, arrived we went for dinner and headed to Hollywood Studios to use our Disney entrance pass for the last time! We went on our favourite rides; Tower of Terror & Rock 'n Roller Coaster and met up with some of the other girls for a final watch of Fantasmic!

On Saturday it was an early start for our character breakfast at the Yacht & Beach Club! We had a yummy breakfast complete with dining with Minnie, Donald and Goofy! We then headed to Downtown Disney for a wander round! I even dressed up in a child's princess dress as Princess Aurora...casual way to spend a day!

We spent a few hours by the pool in the afternoon and then in the evening headed to Disney's Polynesian Resort for nibbles and cocktails at the bar and then to the beach for a view of Wishes! This was such a lovely day and full of Disney memories <3

Another early start on Sunday and a full day at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure! It was a jam-packed day and we definitely did all we wanted to do!

I'm just about to board the plane to go to LA and start my travelling adventure! I am SO excited! Sadly I did have to throw away a pair of shorts, a couple tops and some left over vodka to ensure my suitcase was the right weight...but I'm on the way to LA baby!

Graduation!

So I am now officially a graduate of the Disney College program! Last Tuesday we had our Service Celebration event which is basically our graduation. The sun was shining and it was a super hot, beautiful day :) This day was definitely one of the best and full of memories with my friends.

The graduation took place at Chatham (one of the Disney dorms playing field) and the day started by registering and collecting our certificate and a Disney trinket box to put some memories in and most excitingly, our Mickey Mouse graduate hats! We had lots of photos opportunities with our hats, country flags and a backdrop of cinderella's castle. Then we moved on to meeting Mickey and Minnie dressed in their graduate attire! I absolutely love this photo :)

We headed off then to get some food and enjoyed an American BBQ of delights such as burgers, macaroni cheese and hot dogs! It was delicious. We had our photos taken with a cheeky Pluto and Goofy who were also in graduate attire and tried on some funny hats to have some photo booth photos taken! It was such a nice occasion and I loved sharing it with my friends.

After we got back to Vista, we went to Epcot! Myself and some of the girls went to get our graduation hats embroidered; I got Princess Jenn written on mine :) After this myself, Sarah, Shona and Clare headed to China in the World Showcase for our dinner reservation!

It was such a good meal and a nice way to spend our graduation evening by having a lovely dinner out. Then we went to watch Illuminations fireworks. This will be the last time I get to see them so what with the emotions of graduating and my time coming to an end; it was a bit emotional.

Then it was partytime! Tonight was Senior Frogs which is a bar/club where you pay $5 entrance and get free drinks all night! This turned out to be extremely lethal for me, but a very fun night!

Definitely was an amazing graduation day and evening and could not have wished for better! Disney really made an effort to make it such a memorable, special occasion. I can't believe my time is nearly over here, after building up to it and organising for it for so long beforehand! However, all in all, my wishes have come true <3

Last day working for the mouse

So today marks my last day of working for the mouse in Tomorrowland, Magic Kingdom.. I can't quite believe the day has come. I don't feel ready to leave the happiest place on earth yet. 

My shift is 16:45-01:45 as they have extra hours tonight as it is the last week the American schools are off for holidays. I'm heading into work a bit early as there is a Minnie Mouse Cheerleader pin that I just NEED to buy before I leave! I did some sorting and packing this morning and some more sunbathing by the pool, before our last meal at Cici's... I'm going to miss an all-you-can-eat pizza and brownies buffet for $5!

I had a day off yesterday and spent it with a work friend, going for a walk around the Boardwalk which is one of the Disney resorts set on the water. It is so pretty and relaxed there! I even bought a Princess Aurora cushion- it will fit in my suitcase! Then headed to Epcot where I enjoyed a delicious, yet strong, frozen margarita and enjoying the attractions. Then finishing off at Hollywood Studios for the rides, dinner at the Pizza Planet out of Toy Story and watching Fantasmic for the last time! It was super hot and sunny as well which was loveeeely!

On Friday I move out of Vista and I'm not looking forward to it. Not only because I need to pack, but this place has become my home and I've completely settled here; being near all my friends and just living in a chilled happy atmosphere!

So 10 weeks spent working at the most popular theme park in the world, the happiest place on earth and where all your dreams come true... Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty lucky <3
