OMG, you will not believe my night last nignt!
LaNell calls me up and asks if I wanna go to Disney World for the Pirate and Princess party! Sounds like a helluva good time so I accept! Well, I mapquest the directions because sadly, I don't know how to get to Disney World from UCF, a half-hour drive! So, I get dressed, print out some directions and get on my way. First I had to stop and get gas, so I did. Then I turn around to get on the highway. The traffic was atrocious; it was rush hour. I'm driving, I'm driving,I'm driving, and following the directions and suddenly, I find myself completely and utterly lost. As it turns out, I got directions to a random place where you can BUY tickets to Disney World. WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Don't they know they're supposed to buy tickets online or at the gate?! Geez! Well, anyway, now I'm lost. I try to find my way, but I realize that I'm actually getting closer to Universal Studios than to Disney World! So finally, I stop and ask for directions. (I guess the fact that I was dressed like Sora made me tap into my male instincts, i.e. not asking for directions.) I get directions and as I'm on my way, My friggin' car starts overheating AGAIN! My baby doesn't like to be on the road for too long. I pull over and put the last of my coolant into the radiator and wait for her to cool down. While I'm waiting, I call my mom so I can rant about my terrible night. After talking to her, I calm down and get on the road again. I find my way back to the highway and finally, I find myself on the right track! But lo and behold, I always seem to be in the wrong lane at the right time, so I was forced into a wrong turn. DAMNIT! (The traffic was completely and utterly unbearable last night.) So after freaking out and almost having a conniption in my car, I get on the right track again. So I'm driving and driving and driving. (It takes a lot of driving to get to Disney World). Here's where my night starts to take a major turn for the better. I drive up to the gates; Those big, shiny, colorful gates that say *W*E*L*C*O*M*E*. I tell ya, I have NEVER been happier to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy in my ENTIRE life! I get up to the guy at the parking gate and he's like "That'll be $10." I'm like
"Ok, do you take debit?" he's like
"No, our machine is down right now." I don't have any cash on me, so I'm like,
"Nooooooo! Can this night get any worse?!" Then he's like
"Well, this is your lucky day," and he lets me park for free! I was like
"Really? Oh, thank you so much! I love you!" He's like
"Enjoy your night!" Woot!
So I keep driving and driving some more, and I get to the parking lot! Woot! I park in the Grumpy section. When I get out of t he car, I feel ecstatic and alive and free! I hop onto the shuttle that takes you to the front of the park and we ride off! It's pretty chilly, but I didn't let it get to me, since I'm Sora. ^_^ Then I gotta take the monorail to get the actual park gate. It's pretty fun. There's all these little kids all dressed up like pirates and princesses; they're so adoreable! So, I finally get to the gates to purchase my Pirate and Princess Party ticket and this little kid in line in front of me says "Hey! I finally figured out who you're supposed to be. You're Sora!" I'm like
"Yup, that's right!" So then I get up to the ticket window finally, and the guy behind the window's like
"Hey, is that a Kingdom Hearts Necklace?" I'm like
"Yeah. I'm Sora." He's like
"Awesome!" Then he gives me three free buttons with my ticket. ^_^
When I get inside the park, I get there just in time for the Pirate Princess parade! It's pretty awesome! I saw all the princesses and then there was this big pirate ship with Jack Sparrow on it! I call LaNell and he guides me to where he and the rest of his group are. I find him! He's on the other side of the parade route, but it's a short parade, and eventually, I get to cross over and meet up with him. Squee!
Then we go on rides! Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc, etc. Happy happy joy joy! Then LaNell and I get hungry, so we went to the Stargate Cafe to get some food. They're playing music for all the little kiddies and whatnot. While we're in line, I'm really hyper and I start dancing to the music. I do the Chacha slide, the Hokey Pokey, the Chicken dance, etc. Then the girl behind the counter, who was thoroughly entertained from watching me, gives me a free chocolate cake. She's like "Here, you deserve chocolate cake!"
Then I got my picture taken with Chip 'n' Dale! Heehee! Fun little chipmonks. Then we left at closing time. I was afraid that I'd get lost on the way back home, so I crashed at Stetson with LaNell. And I'm still here! Heehee!
I'd have to say, from the time I got to Disney World to now greatly compensated for my getting sadly, hopelessly lost when I live a half hour away. I tell ya, by the time I got to the Magic Kingdom, I could have been all the way back in West Palm Beach! Is that crazy or what?
Well, I think that's enough blogging for about three weeks. See ya!
