Friday's oh Friday's how I love you dearly. Well I'm happy to announce that a congratulations is in order, not for me of course that's dead and over with but for Jazmine the newest WDW merchandise cast member! She got accepted just about two days after my last post. YAY She got in, we got in, you'll get in, WE'RE ALL IN...see you in six months. Its weird having to keep living your life as you normally do knowing that in half a year, normal is the last thing it'll be.

On to the actual subject of this post, I've never been to Disney World or Florida for that matter. I've been to Disneyland probably as many times as many times as you've blinked within the last three years, but never to the big WDW. So after some exciting digging I've comprised a list of things that I am most looking forward to once I get to the sunshine state.

5 things I'm looking forward to that just randomly popped into my head:
Try the famous Dole Whip:
A Dole whip is a non dairy soft serve pineapple treat served on Disney properties and very few other places throughout the world unless you make it yourself...successfully. They can be purchased near the entrance of the Tiki room(which is probably why not as people know about this that should). It looks like a mere smoothie to me, but they say its far more than that, it's the best you'll ever taste. Well I like pineapple(except when it's on pizza, where it DOES NOT belong)so bring it on. I'm man enough to try a dole whip...and like it.


Shopping at Company D:
Company D is a cast member exclusive store/warehouse that sells Disney merchandise, local attraction tickets, etc and all for a largely discounted price. Non cast members are strictly prohibited without a cast member escort because the savings are so great haha. Some claim that the some of the merchandise is outdated, but not a single derogatory thought or word will escape my mouth when I'm purchasing mounds of Disney memorabilia for less than half the price. Guess it's going to be Disney Christmas presents for everyone this year.

A visit to Disney Quest:
I just found out this existed, so I'm obviously behind on the times. Disney Quest is a 5 floor indoor theme park equip with games, 3D encounters, rides, etc...It has some pretty interesting attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for Buccanear Gold and Cyber Space Mountain. All the stuff I read about seems pretty legit so its a must for me. Its located in downtown Disney and discounted tickets can be purchased at the previously mentioned Company D.


Lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table:
I've always wanted to eat there, so what if I'm nineteen years old. You may already know this but for the select few that don't the restaurant is located on the second floor of Cinderella's castle and when dining at CRT you not only eat a meal with your friends or family but with the royal characters of Disney themselves. It's a bit pricey for a CP-er ranging from 40 to 60 dollars per adult, but from all the stories, online reviews and not to mention the amazing menu, it's worth it.

Wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter:
Uhhh, I don't even know where to begin. I'm definitely a huge nerd when it comes to HP and I've come to terms with that, so don't judge me. WWWHP is a park dedicated to bringing the world renowned Harry Potter adventure series to life via an interactive theme park. You will get to experience Hogwarts and Hogsmeade along with other added high speed attractions to give you a tangible yet surreal Harry Potter experience. Will my right hand man Jazmine and I be making frequent appearances to this magical location? Does Mickey Mouse have two ears?


Besides all of the previous I'm excited for the whole experience, making new friends, living it up in Vista Way, even for the large work load that I'll have to deal with, but I'm ready for it and I know you are too. Congratulations to everyone that made it in this week!!! And to all those that are still waiting just continue to think purple and before you know it you'll be on your way to WDW...some of us for the first time ever.
