So I have been here and done so much so hopefully I can remember everything I have done.
I will continue where I left off before with my mini holiday. Me, Vicky, Matthew and Myah met up with Brett on Monday morning and headed off to universal. Once we were there we got our universal annual passes!!!! Woohoo! We had planned on starting with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter but it seemed everyone had the same idea so we instead started with Spiderman which I love, and while we where in the queue for it Brett told us that he had never been on a ride so we obviously went on the Hulk after Spiderman. I think he started to feel the effects but we then went on Blutos Barges and got completely soaked! Worst thing was we were all wearing denim so even by the end of the day we were all still a bit damp. Since we were already wet we decided to go on the Jurassic Park ride cause it wouldn't have made much of a difference, Brett decided to sit this one out so we went and queued and got to the gate so we were next onto the ride and then true to form the ride broke down for the day.
I mean we already had crap luck so far so why change what has worked so much in the past few days. We then had lunch and then the moment had arrived!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was final there for me to go in!!! I was so friggen excited I actually was shaking! So I walked into Hogsmead and it looked amazing, better than I actually thought, they really outdone themselves. I have to admit thought that the Forbidden Journey was a bit disappointing. I mean it was a decent ride but I think I had been so excited about it, I had hyped it up more in my head so I was a little let down.
We then headed round and went on the Dr Suess carosel which was amazing and then the Cat in the Hat ride which was just bad, and what made it worse was the queue was the longest of the day for it! So that was us finished at Islands of Adventure so we headed round to Universal and started with the Beetlejuice show which I really love. We then done the Simpsons ride which is just fun, but I still don't no if I prefer that or back to the future. We also done Disaster and Shrek 4D, we were going to then do Rip Ride Rockit but I wasn't up for it, neither was Matt or Brett so Myah and Vicky went into the queue but after a little while they came back because the queue was just not moving.
We headed back to the hotel because we were all shattered, after travelling the day before and then getting up early and being at the parks all day, from open to close. We then decided to get some pizza delivered and by the time we waited for it we were all pretty much asleep so the knock at the door gave us a bit of a fright.
The next morning was the big day, the day we moved into our Disney Apartments! We were all so excited and also a little surprised at just how much extra stuff we had already got from Walmart that me didn't have when we got the the hotel. It was kinda funny though as we all pretty much left the hotel with a pillow, still in the plastic so it didn't look like we had stole them from the hotel.
We got to Vista Way where we thought we were supposed to be but apparently the taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong place in the complex, he didn't listen to the security when they gave directions, so we where sitting at what we thought was the right place twiddling our thumbs thinking something was wrong, little did we know it was, haha. Once we finally got to the right place we watched a little video and got our arrival packs and our apartment allocation, luckily we all got the commons which is what I really wanted, also got a 2 bed on the ground floor. So pretty much ticked all of my boxes.
My flat mates are from Japan, Hong Kong and France. Toko from Japan had been there one week before us but the rest all started on the same day, its got its good and its bad points, the good is that there isn't the bonds formed already and we are all just starting out, the bad however is that the apartment is just so bare. When I go into others who have been here a while, or even into my arrival groups theres just feels homely but I suppose ours will get that way soon.
Same day we took another trip to Walmart and then off to Hollywood Studios, which is my favourite park because it has my 2 favourite rides, Tower of Terror and Rockin Rollercoaster!
Was so funny because Matt has never been to Disney Florida so he was a big kid, and when we went on Tower of Terror he squealled like a wee girl. I was in stitches!
Watching Fantasmic I think we all had a little cry, but it is an amazing show!
So I will leave it here as there is still so much to write and this has dragged on a little. Lets hope I don't leave it much longer because then even more will happen and this will just take forever to update, but then I suppose it serves me right for leaving it so long.
