OH MY GOODNESS!
What a week and a bit! I could not be happier to have seen my family, I missed them all so much and was so happy that Sharice (my brother's girl friend) and my grandma were able to make the trip. The only thing that may have made it better would be getting to see my QUINN (my brother's dog).
The Trip in a Nutshell
January 16 - 28th 2016
Saturday (16) - They arrived, we wandered around Art of Animation Resort well we waited for our Lion King Suite to be available. After moving into our room we headed to Disney Springs to explore and enjoy dinner at T REX.
Sunday (17) - We headed off to EPCOT today. After visiting the seas with Nemo and friends I headed off to work for a few hours (not long at all). They went on to explore future world and world showcase where I later got to show them around my home pavilion. I met up with them in Germany for dinner after I finished work. Prior to the Illuminations we went to do a little bit of shopping.
Monday (18) - Hollywood Studios day! My favorite park by far. Happy I got to share all my favorite things with the people I love. We met Sorcerer Mickey, played some toy story mania, checked in at the Hollywood Tower hotel, and watch lights, motor, action stunt show. That's just a few things we did before we met Mickey, Minnie and friends for dinner at Minnie's Silver Screen Dining at Hollywood & Vine. Following dinner we made our way over to the Fantasmic which then brought our day to an end.
Tuesday (19) - I worked all day and met them back at the resort for dinner! They drove to the Kennedy Space Center and made a Walmart stop to get some american food!
Wednesday (20) - My favorite day by far! It may have started out a little stressful as I had to call in early in the morning to see if I could get the day off! All worked out and we were on our way to MAGIC KINGDOM! Morgan met us at the gates to help get everyone in, she then spent the day with us as we explored the kingdom. There is so much to say about this day as it is where all the magic is (despite the crane taking the Christmas lights taking the lights off the castle). This was probably the best day of the entire week even though we were all tired. During fireworks I cried as it was all my dreams coming true to be able to watch Wishes with my family!
Thursday (21) - After Kevin met us at Animal Kingdom, I headed to work for a few hours again well the family went on a Kilimanjaro Safari, Expedition Everest and toured around Rafiki's Island. They even told me they got to see a lioness get an ultrasound. I joined them in time to see how tough life as a Bug is then we split up for a bit so Sharice, Dad and Rich could go on Dinosaur. Mom and I took Grandma to see the Best Show by far on all of Disney World property. The Festival of the Lion King! For dinner we joined Safari Donald and friends at Tusker House.
Saturday (23) - The plan was to go to Universal Studios again as they didn't get to see everything but with the weather being a bit on the chilly side we changed plans to going to the Florida Mall. Most of the same stores that we have in Canada. I then got to take them to CiCi's Pizza for dinner prior to dropping Richard and Sharice off at the Airport. Mom, Dad, Grandma and I stayed in a little motel in Kissimmee.
Sunday (24) - I got tour them around Orlando a little bit. We started at IHOP for breakfast, then stopped by the premium outlets which are by my housing complex so then got to sign them in to the Commons and show them my house! I also dropped off all my luggage and quickly repacked to stay at Fort Wilderness Cabins. I took them to Cast Connection ( a cast only store - you can go in as long as you have a cast member with you ) We started to run out of things to do so we made a stop at ESPN wide world of sports. I had never actually been there it was actually rather cool even though we didn't get to go into any of the sporting areas. After that they took me to the Cabins to drop me off with my friends for a few nights well they went to Cape Coral.
Monday (25) to Tuesday (26) - Mom, Dad and Grandma went to Cape Coral to visit with my Great Aunts and Uncles. This is when I was staying in the Cabins with my Disney Family.
Wednesday (27) - Mom, Dad and Grandma came back to Orlando to spend the night before they flew out also so they could spend one last night with me :) After work I bused over to All Star Music where they met me for some dinner! I can now proudly say I have stayed in all 3 All Star Resorts!!!
Thursday (28) - Got our last fix of the Disney food as we ate at our resort, they took me back to my apartment again then to work where I said good bye :'(
That brought their trip to an end. It was an amazing week and a half! I miss them all so much but know that its only 6 more months until I will be back with them and I don't plan on leaving again for a while after that!

Friday (22) - Mom, Dad, Richard and Sharice went to Universal Studios to check out Harry Potter. I went to work for a few hours then headed back to the resort to spend time with my grandma! We had fishy cracker bread chicken sandwiches and then watched frozen (well more like napped to frozen - it was a long week give me a break). It was a very relaxing day!
