okay, here's a run down of what happened at Disney world as best i can remember it.
This is written stream of thought so it's disjointed.
Thursday night, I left my apartment. I'd cleaned it up some and was waiting on Tim to move out. I drove to my parents house, where Jery's mom picked me up. Our plane was going to leave at 720 Friday morning, so we planed on leaving 445 to get there in time. Me and Jery stayed up all night messing around on Kingdom Hearts 2, which she just beat. We left the house on time but other things got inthe way and we didn't really head out until nearing 6! We got to the airport with just barely not enough time to have to deal with all the new Air Port laws, like the fact the you can only get four bourding passes issued for one bag of luggage, there was five of us. Big fun waste of time. Then our gate had been changed from terrminal B to D. We did get to ride the new Sky Link (a new monorail systems put in at DFW that I didn't realize had been finished). We boarded the plane and were on our way to Florida. Now much happened on the flight. I drew, and when we landed an older couple that spoke Russain were trying to complement me on my drawing. It was fun to try and communicate with them.
At the air port we were picked up by a Disney bus that was going to take us to our resort, Port Orleans Riverside (which is what use to be the Dixie House and is now the backside of the resort I stayed at while I was nine). The bus driver was funny and mentioned GPS tracking started a video feed which was how we figured out that every bus was GPS activated for sign changes and anouncements. Our room wasn't ready, so we took some time to eat and wonder the resort. It was so pretty. It looked very baiu. After we did get our room, Jery and I went to Downtown Disney. It was so much bigger then I thought a shopping area could get. We spend maybe an hour there and hardly got anywhere. We had to leave because Jery had a reservation in Epcot for dinner.
Then it started two trends which really, I could have lived without. Rain and buses. It rained everyday. Everyday. For an hour at least, everyday. I live in Texas, during the summer we're lucky if we get an hour of rain all season. Everyday. Hard. However on Friday, it rained for six hours. Just straite raining. The other trend was buses. If me and Jery needed to get from our resort to anywhere, only a very short wait. However, from any park anywhere else, long long long waits. It was very annyoning. So after waiting and being worried about missing our reservations, in the rain, we got on a bus to Epcot and when we got there ran, in the rain, to Norway which is a quarter of the way into the World Pavilion. It was raining. Jery was unhappy that she was going to get to she all her Disney Princesses soaked. It was a good meal and all the workers (called Cast) were really sweet. We ate Norwigen food and Jery got pictures with all of the Princesses.
I'm kinda fuzzy on what happened after this. We didn't stay at Epcot, go back to Downtown or anything but then next big thing we did was Extra Magic Hours at the Magic Kingdom. Our package for going to Disney world included "extra magic hours" which was the park either opening an hour early (a busted up plan) or staying open an extra three hours. That means from 11pm until 2am the park would be mostly empty. It was such an amazing experiance. When we got there, we were given wrist bands of awesomeness (my words not their's) and we were literally fighting a river of people trying to leave the park down Main Street USA. We rode just about every ride Friday night (and the ones we missed we rode Sunday night). We even got off Big Thunder Mountain, went right back through the line and got back on it. The worst wait was like 20 minutes for Space Mountain. There was nothing for Pirates (which the updates to the ride actually made me kinda sad. Disney added Jack and Barbosa to it). One of the funnest (bite me) rides was Stitch's Great Excape. A giant animatronic Stitch was moving about the room. Then the lights would go off and "Stitch" would "jump" around the room and talk to people. Really everyone had shoulder things that would keep you in the seat, that made loud noises and depressed where Stitch was supost to have landed and the speakers projected from that spot. He loved where me and Jery were sitting and spend alot of the show there yelling and laughting. Then near the end (I'm 22, I shouldn't have been this excited, curse you Disney) Stitch said "byebye buddy" fluffed up my hair and jumped away. Really it was just air vent but shut up, i like Stitch. We had the perfect seats. The rest of the night everyone else in the park seemed to disagree with that being an awesome ride but that's because they didnt' have good seats. One older man enjoyed the ride too and me and him talked about it while we boarded the Pirate's ships.
The night ended after 3 when me and Jery got back. We then set the alarm for 7am for early hours at Animal Kingdom.
more later, I'm tired of typeing.
