there's a great big beautiful tomorrow..

i never get tired of disney world. i've been there at least once a year since i was 8, i worked there for three months in the fall of 2008, and i just got back from a week's vacation a few days ago.

i mean, how could you resist this? the sky doesn't even look real.

p.s. it isn't. it's magically created by giant disney smoke puff machines. seriously. don't tell anyone. that's classified.

last year's trip seemed like a disaster waiting to happen for the first 24-48 hours. some highlights:

-a broken arm and a sprained ankle the night before our flight. yes, i tripped over carpet. i shouldn't be unsupervised at any time.

-a 5 hour flight delay.

-a foreign "cab" driver who warned us of the dangers of devils (boys) and exchanging e-mails with them.

-finally checking into the hotel at 3 a.m. only to find out that we were at the very back of the complex. liz's rolling suitcase refused to stay upright for more than five seconds at a time during this journey.

so, needless to say.. we figured this time around just COULDN'T start off any worse. and thankfully, we were right. the car ride (which we decided was a million times better than flying) seemed much shorter than 8 hours, probably due to the fact that we filled it with singing and dancing. disney tunes, *nsync, and backstreet boys. a winning combination fo sho.

i'm realizing that if i go through the entire 7 days of our vacation, this might possibly be the longest blog ever, so i'll hit the highlights.

-seeing some good friends that are still down there working.

-getting a teenie tiny packet of pixie dust when we walked into magic kingdom for the first time.

-riding tower of terror a total of 10 times. (which is a feat in itself considering from the ages of 8-19, i refused to step foot inside that dang deserted elevator)

-riding the aerosmith coaster with the lights on and then getting evacuated off. we were rewarded with fastpasses. for some reason, when i was down there working, we got really excited when the rides stopped. some weird thrill.. who knows.

-jellyrolls. jellyrolls is a dueling piano bar at disney's boardwalk, and if i lived there, i would go every night. i LOVE it.
