Yesterday started off like any other day. I got up, showered, dressed professionally, ate a quick breakfast, and then ran to catch the 6:17 a.m bus. Okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly like any other day considering I had to wake up at 5 a.m. I had a class in the morning across from the Magic Kingdom where I managed to meet the Mouse himself and then even a "Cast Member Only" tour through the Magic Kingdom. This tour however, cannot be given in detail. Like I said, it's a Cast Member only thing. And not only did I manage all of this, but I also got a card that gets me tons of discounts and into every park for free! Ummmm.... yes... So how exactly did I spend my afternoon you ask? Let me tell you.
We were dropped off in the employee parking lot of Epcot, behind all the rides, and with no apparent way to actually get in to the park. But just because we're new, doesn't have to mean we have to look new so just follow the crowd and we should get there, right? We followed the wrong crowd into the cafeteria. Definitely not Epcot. Let's try this again and since we're here, we might as well ask. Turns out we should have zigged when we zagged. Ohhhhhh look, there's the parkkkk....
Next thing I know, we've gone on all the rides (this thrill seeker had to do them all first!) and I was walking around the world faster than any great world traveler has ever done. I met Mary Poppins in England and had dinner in Morocco (all served to me by Moroccans of course). After dinner I toured a Japanese shop where a lady by the name of Nao nonchalantly wrote my name in Japanese for me. I didn't even know it had a translation! After looking through the kimonos (sp?) and reminding myself that I can always come back, we left for dessert in Italy. Now as a girl who's biggest dream is to go to Italy, I was pretty excited to be served a gelato by three handsome Italian men. Then as I was eating my gelato, we walked over to Germany where I met a VERY handsome German man. I had to get him to pronounce my last name for me (it is after all of German decent) and then I flirtatiously asked him if I could just listen to him talk all day. He did say he needed to improve his English after all... (my last name means lion in German, pronounced lou-vah)
After I was done gawking at him we headed to Africa where we met a nice man from Kenya (Peter) and he asked my roommate to teach him how to play Mancala. After beating her he told us he didn't always win, but he didn't believe in losing. I'm pretty much in love with that motto. Afterwards we had a quick walk through China onto Norway and then we ended in Mexico we we watched the most spectacular fireworks display I have ever seen! After that, we all went home and quickly fell asleep only to be jolted awake again this morning at 5:30. Living the Disney Magic!
