Ok, so, (Your gonna have to click the link to see the pics in Order)
Kristy, Haley and I started out on our trip to our destination. We set out around 4 pm on Tuesday and headed towards Arkansas. The drive wasn't too bad and we were pretty energetic all the way through.
Didn't get a picture of the State lines however as we passed through Tennessee and on into Mississippi. Two places i'd never been! Whee!!
We stopped overnight in Mississippi around 1 am when we finally ran out of driving steam and took a nice long rest. Got up around 8 the next morning, reset our clocks and continued on our journey.
We trekked our way on down through Alabama (a very stinky state btw, and on into the peach capitol of the world, Georgia!! <3
The long, tiring drive through Georgia took us about 6-7 hours, but when we finaly reached our destination, it was near sunset and elation was all around!!!
So, we checked into our Hotel another 4 hours later in Kissimmii, Florida, happy to be at the Motel 6! We went out and ate at I-hop, quickly realizing just HOW thick our accents were! O.O The guy serving us was really nice though and we ate quickly, then went to bed to get prepared for our big day the next day!
We woke up around 8 am and got dressed and took our showers and got everything ready. Then we loaded up in the car and headed on out to our destination. I cannot tell you the excitement.
Everyone cheered loudly and were taking pictures ALL over the place.
Needless to say, we took TOO many pictures, so i'm going to link you to the DisneyWorld photobucket!! <3
We had tons of fun, met so many of the characters and OMG Peter Pan!! My Dream was fullfilled!!!!! *dies*
I met him and was shaking and squealing internally and stuff and he kissed me!! Went on Pirates of the Carribean, Space Mountain (Space Mountain, Charlie! XD If you get that, yay, for it was a continuous theme throughout our trip), the Carousel of Progress (misspell!), Stitch's Great Escape, Philharmagic (SO COOL) and tons of other rides.
The Safari was tons of fun too, the guy was cute and really nice. (Look! It's a herd of Elephants and one confused crocodile! You don't see that every day! But I do! Every ten minutes, for the rest of my life. Stay in school kids.)
There was a live Jack Sparrow running around as well as a few other cool characters and the light parade at the end of the night was wonderful! We got to know alot of the staff members and found out that all the princess' are very creepy O.O They actually...think they are princess' or something. And Belle.....is weird. o.O Aurora was nice though, just very blond.
Peter was great! He completely went along with us, understood that I was all excited and just took it in stride and kept hugging me and gave me a kiss on the ear! *squeee* Kristy and Haley thought I was insane.
But that's ok, cause I am.
The pirates ride was amazing and very well done. They added in Jack Sparrow, Davey Jones and Barbosa into the storyline, which made it a little weird to incorperate, but not bad at all.
Space mountain was cool beans. <3
But probably my fav part was just being with Kristy and Haley there my first time. No overcrowding or having to keep up with lots of people, just three girls all hanging out in Disneyworld and meeting the characters and eating at the Bay 2 restraunt and Pinocchios. It was amazing and probably one of the best vacations of my life!
LINk TO PICS:

The first time i'd EVER seen the Ocean! It was absolutely beautiful and the waves were intense and wonderful and fuN! I have a separate photobucket for that as well!
LINK!: COMING SOON
We even got to watch a beach drama unfold and played around in the waves and built a sand fin over Haley to make her a mermaid. XD The waves were so strong that when we sat down, we kept getting dragged back into the ocean! XD Posiden liked Haley, he kept pulling her in, but shoved lots of sand in my bathingsuit. Went to a surfshop as well (didn't know a thing about it) and went in search of a lighthouse we never got to go to. *cry* Ah well, I went to DISNEYWORLD! So im not too broken about it. XD
So, after a full day at the beach and looking around Cape Canaveral (which is cool as hell), we got back home and went around Kissimmee a little bit, checking out the local sights and shops, then ate a small dinner and went back to the hotel, only to be accosted by some weird guy who said he was attracted to Haley and called us in our room. CREEPY! Gary... O.O
Well, then we got up the next day, Saturday, and got on the road. We decided to take the downpath this time and headed on out through the panhandle of Florida out into about 20 minutes of Alabama and only an hour of Mississippi before we hit Louisiana. One more state i've been to now! It's alot like Oklahoma o.O.
Beautiful state, and it was getting late, so we decided to drop in on an old friend! Hi Ericka!
Her and her wonderful family let us stay the night there and her mom cooked us a real homecooked breakfast that morning with eggs, toast, grits, bacon and some orange juice! We hung around for a while before heading back towards Oklahoma.
It was a long drive around Lousiana, Texas and finally up through Oklahoma before we got back at 10:30 that night. ^_^ It was good to get home, but very sad all in the same.
We loved Florida (except the drivers o.O) and we loved Louisiana as well, so we're planning a trip back to New Orleans and to stay longer with Ericka.
Overall, it was one of the best times of my life (save Haley's obsession with her bf and asking me every five minutes how much longer till we reach Oklahoma. o.O) and I would not trade AnimeExpo or California for it for the world!
Missed everyone and I hope you guys enjoy the pics!! <3
I'll post a link for extras soon! (Ps. Sorry I couldn't call USA! It was roaming and Kristy said no no! <3 I call you tomorrow!)
LOVE,
Anya and Kristy
