Hey!So I made it across the US on my own which I was pretty impressed with myself about! Made a few friends along the way! Standardly fell asleep on the guy next to me on the plane! aha!! but I made it to Chicago in one piece with James waiting at the airport for me! Was exciting to see him! We went out for dinner on the night with his mom and dad and his Uncle Mike! Really nice house and he has all these proper old schools 1950's cars which are awesome, he took me out for a ride on them! Its lovely weather here but alot colder still than Orlando. The next day we went to the outlets and spent some money on new clothes and James got me a Chicago bears top, much to dads disappointment. Was a nice day though... needed abit of a chill out after my last few days in Florida. The next day I went horse riding and Mikes girlfriends stables. She is an amazing horse rider and has performed around the world, she has 17 horses in her stables and they are one of the best stables around, the horses are treated very well and she was nice enough to let me ride her horse, which she said I was the second person to ride a horse since the beginning of the year! it was amazing!! it was hard work but I loved it! She said I looked really good on it so it was good! My legs are still killing me now!! Then we met all of Pams family, she has two cute little grandsons who followed me and James around all day! There soo cute though! Monday we went into Chicago city. It was beautiful. We went to the aquarium which was awesome saw all the dolphins then went off to the John Hancock building. It was amazing, we got a 360 view of the city which was beautiful! I loved it! was such a beautiful city. Then we went for dinner with some of Pams friends. was a beautiful wine restaurant we went to! Very posh had lovely food!! Need to stop eating, its all I have done since I've been here, they have definitely fed me well!!

Had a lazy day after that, I got woken up by a tornado warning, not that I believed James when he told me, my sleep was clearly much more important! So was bad weather in the morning but then it settled down a bit and we all went for a walk at some nature centre. Was quite pretty so see abit of a different side to the city. Then some of the neighbours came around for a few drinks, their lovely really friendly so that was a nice night

Yesterday we had a day in Chicago again. It was amazing. We went up Sears Tower, it was beautiful as it was a clear blue sky so we got an amazing view of the city, it was gorgeous! Then me an James did abit of shopping, I standardly found a Disney Store in Chicago, as James said I'm probably the only person in the world that has spent 3 months in Disney World and then still finds the store in Chicago. But it was massive even better than disney world! Then we saw a band that me and James like in the middle of the road dancing and singing. It was amazing! i got a video of the whole thing. It was soo good!

Then we went for a nice dinner at TGI's, then we went of the ferris wheel as the sun set which was gorgeous! It looked beautiful over the city, then we played crazy golf which got very competitive and after doing the last whole several times it still ended in a tie! Me and James went on a boat trip on the evening, which seemed to be full of the silver tops!! but it was gorgeous! The view of the city from the lake was spectacular!! It was gorgeous! The most beautiful city ever!! then we watched the fireworks from the lake it was gorgeous!

Now were all just sat finished packing waiting to leave for New York which is very exciting!!!

Sorry this has been rushed didn't have much time!!

I will try and upload some pictures when I get to the airport if they have internet!!

See you in a few days!

Lots of love xxx

End of a chapter!

Im currently sat in the airport waiting to start my next adventure! Excited about seeing James but soo sad Disney is over!

I've had the most amazing summer of my life! I have loved every minute of it and appreciated it soo much!

yesterday was a good day! it was our friend Simon's birthday so we were all up bright and early attempting to pack! and i emphasis attempting as it did not go too well! We then went to epcot so they could all drink around the world.. instead as I'm a baby by the American law, I got a disney passport and got that stamped around the world instead! It was a really good day, beautiful weather and was nice that we all managed to spend it together! Then was off to graduation which was pretty cool! got my disney ears and my pictures with Minnie and Mickey so was a pretty perfect evening.. until the rain came in! i have never seen rain like it in my lifee! Was crazzyyyyyy!! So that made us late to go and watch wishes so instead we had to watch it from the outside of the park at the cast member entrance! it wasn't quite the same but I watched it with all my favourites so it was ok! We then went back to Simons for a leaving party. Was soo weird saying goodbye to people! But everybody was their so it was really nice! Such a lovely evening. Me and Patu got around an hours sleep as we were up bright and early to pack and to clean the house! Then it came to that awful time when I had to leave! Was very sad everyone was in tears! Everyone stood outside the shuttle waving my off crying their eyes out! The people on the bus must have thought i was crazy! But it was sooo sad!

But it has been the best experience of my life and I have loved it so much!

Ill update when im in Chicago! xx

zippidi doo daa zippidi day, my oh my what a wonderful day!!!

Good Evening!!

i have just had the most fantastic day of my life!!!

So last night i got a text off my beautiful princess of a room mate saying that she had a surprise for us! Then i found out that she had booked us breakfast at Cinderella's Castle this morning for breakfast! Which is amazing as there is usually at least a 3month waiting list! but luckily sarah checked last night and they had a cancellation for this morning! so the room mates and I got up bright and early for breakfast! It was amazinggg! Inside the castle is gorgeouss! we all had our photo taken with Cinderella and then sat down! The food was amazing, and we got wands like little princesses!! All of the princesses were around greeting everyone so that was cool having all our photos taken with the princesses! it was actually amazing! They gave us 2 copies of the photo with Cinderella which was really nice! Luckily we still got a discount even though we weren't supposed to, but they loved us!! haha it was actually amazing. Unfortunately I have no photos yet as sarah has them all on her camera so as soon as she uploads them I will put them up!! Then we went to Fantasy land and Sarahs manager gave us fast passes for the day so we go on all of the rides! Was soo good! we were all like excited little kids running around with our wands in our hands! We went and got sprinkled with Pixie Dust! haha was all very magical today!!

Had the best day everr and sooo not ready to leave this place! Just about to go to my last shift at work!! Crazyy!! and then pack tonight as we are going to Epcot tomorrow for the day and then its our graduation! So busy day ahead

Lots of love x

Disney Magic

Heya! Sorry I haven't updated for a while! I hadn't really done much until the parents came to visit! I went to Miami a few weeks ago which was nice to just chill out on the beach for the day! Then was just working quite alot! So wasn't really doing much to update you on! Im still loving life and unfortunately only have about 10 days left before I leave which upsets me alot!! But then off to Chicago to see the boy!! Which will be nice! one of the sketch artists I work with is drawing me a picture before I leave to remember it by! Which will be nice!

So one Wednesday mom and

dad came! I went to meet them at the Animal Kingdom Lodge after work, which was beau

tiful! We had an amazing view from our window of the giraffes and the zebras! Was beautiful!! It was also nice to have a few nights in a big double bed! Forgothow much I missed a prop

er good nights sleep! We got up early on Thursday and went to Animal Kingdom! Was a reall

y good day!Mom obviously loved it! We went on the Kilimanjaro Safari so got to see som

e awesome animals, then took dad on Mount Everest ride which was hilarious, he hated every minute of it! i got to meet Goofy and Pluto! which was very exciting!! Then we went in search of Pocahontas as sh

e's o

ne of my favourites! So I was very excited and at the front of the cue like a little child! Got absolutely soaked on the rapids! Was funny though! After a long hot day at the parks we left and went for dinner at an A

ustralian steak house! was beautiful!!! Next day we checked out of Animal kingdom and checked into Coronado Springs! Wa very different from Animal but was still lovely! nice big beds :D we spend the afternoon at Magic Kingdom today after spending some of daddys money at the outlets! We managed to get on all the good rides apart from mom's favourite 'big thunder mountain' due to the lightning! which was a shame and it would have been the only ride my dad could handle! Unfortunately due to the thunder the parade got delayed! but it was all alright in the end! We

watched the parade then the firework show 'wishes' then the new show called 'memories' i think I have talked about it before. Its the projection onto the cas

tle but its amazing!!! Mom and Dad loved it and it was defiantly worth the delay! the next day I worked in the morning then met mom and dad and we went to Hollywood studios for the afternoon. Unfortunatly by the time we got their we had missed most of the sho

ws, but just managed to watch Beauty and the Beast which was beautiful ! Moms favourite ride 'rock n roller coaster' was shut down due to 'technical difficulties' so unfortunately mom didn't get to go on her 2 favourite rides the whole trip! but she still enjoyed herself. We then went to watch Fantasmic. Which yet again was delayed due to the weather.... but me and dad managed to entertain the crowd by starting off a mexican wave! Was hilarious we ended up getting 10,000 people to do the wave! was soo good! Everyone was loving it! We couldn't get them to stop in the end! hhaha! Had a few days of bad weather were getting the back lash of Hurricane Emily so weathers not been

great but still all good!

Monday we drove over to Uncle Gabriels. Was nice to relax! By the time we got their yesterday was just in time for a beautiful dinn

er fr

om Erica, was nice to see some vegetables on a plate!! Today we went to watch the Miami dolphins train for abit which was cool! The cheerleaders weren't out though which meant the boys and James won't be getting a signed picture of the cheerleaders for their walls! There was me thinking I would be getting brownie points from James with the cheerleaders but apparently not! Had a nice relax by the pool this afternoon then a few hours sleep! Alexa has jus

t been round with 4 dogs for dinner! Never a quiet moment around here! All in all a good few days! Hope your all keeping safe from the riots at home! Especially you Grandma, I heard that it was you that started all the chaos off! haha love u lots xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Im sorry we don't serve muggle drinks here!

Wow I have officially just had the best few days of my life!!

On tuesday it was my roomm

ate Patricia's birthday! So we all headed off to Clearwater which is a beautiful beach just under two hours away from us. 12 of us went and o

nly 3of us were English.. so it was an interesting day and alot of 'English please??' But it was such a good day we rented two cars and road tripped it down there!! The sand was the whitest most beautiful sand ever! We just spent the day playing in the sea and sunbathing! The picture here is me and my housemates... attempting to

jump and only Patricia has managed to get off the g

round! The girls I live with are awesome.. a new girl moved in the other day.. shes one of the french lot but its made the house so much better! We all have such a laugh and everyone gets on really well which is really nice!

We had amazing weather in Clearwater compared to back at Vista, it had stormed all day.. apparently was the worst storm everyone has seen since we had got there.. so we were lucky we missed it!! On the evening we all went out fo

r a dance to celebrate her birthday!

On wed we then all got up soo early to go to Universal studios as our friend Greig is leaving next week and its his 21st Birthday!! So was a double event! It was actually amazing! We had beautiful weather and the rides were amazing! Im not a massive fan of Harry Potter but the rides were incredible!! We managed to go on them all twice and the set was amazing!!! They had done the land sooo well!! Even one of the people that worked there went and got us free butter beer... which is apparently a wizards drink.. as we found out they don't serve 'muggle' drinks in Harry Potter land!! But it actually tasted reallyyy good! I was quite suprised!! We managed to get on every single ride in the park which was amazing!! We got soaked on all the water rides! Have never got so wet in my entire l

ife from a ride! but they were hilarious!!!

It was very different from disney! A lot less kids but the service was no way near as good!! but the rides were amazing so it made up for it and they defiantly do not struggle to get the money in everyday the place was packed!! The hulk ride and the Harry Potter rides were defiantly my favourite.. After a looooonnnngg day and 10 hours in the park we went to the hard rock cafe for dinner! Was delicious!! Was a perfect ending to such a good day!! I don't think I have smiled as much as I did in the past two days and that was definitely needed!

This is a picture of us all in Harry Potter land...

Today after work I went to meet Sarah at the Magic Kingdom. Was cool just to be able to go for the afternoon! However the heavens decided to open the

second I left work so we got SOAKED!! but I met

mickey mouse and all of the princesses for the first time since i have been there and it was AMAZING!! hahaha it was actually weirdly emotional seeing Mickey! I was loving it! It's sooo weird how at 20 years old he makes me go weak at the knees :P haha!! defiantly the best guy I've ever met :P

So all in all a pretty amazing few days!! I love my life and neverrrr want to come home!! Sorry mom :D

love u all xx

hey sorry its been a while have been pretty busy at work recently!! So haven't really been up to much since the last one!! have worked every single day have been doing crazy early 6am starts which kill me as im lazy!! then just chilling by the pool in the afternoon. Was my friends birthday the other day so we went to Planet Hollywood for dinner which was really cool. Such nice food. Then for july 4th they had amazinggggg fireworks at Magic Kingdom. They were like 360 degrees so u were looking in all directions to see them but it was amazing.. the americans are veryyy patriotic! Us English got a fair amount of jip for it but was cool to be there on independence day.

had a crazy experience at work the other day.. a new girl from england started and we got chatting an we realised that she works in the Birmingham disney store and we know loads of the same people! Which is cool shes really nice so the shifts are better now!! Have been to magic kingdom a few times this week.. its pretty cool as all our friends get us fast passes on most the rides now! so its awesome!!

We went to hollywood studios last night which was cool did all the rides then went to this restaurant for dinner.. cant remember what it was called but it was amazing.. its said out like a 1950s house and all the tables have a tele an all that like old school stuff.. and everyone is referred to as your cousins. If you dont eat your greens you dont get pudding.. and this girl on the table next to us left hers so we all had to sing this song as her was hilarious! the waitresses were soo nice though really funny.. like if you put your elbows on the table you got told off.. so you know how classy I am they told me about me elbows all the time! haha the pudding was AMAZING! it was this massive chocolate fudge cake covered in creme and sprinkles and popcorn!! was heaven on a plate i loved it!! I drew a picture of Mickey mouse which they put on the fridge aha was a very proud moment!!

Think thats all for now!!

lots of love x x

Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy Birthday Dad... I hope you have a really nice day and that Paul looks after you! Enjoy your meal tonight!

This is a funny email my friends nan sent to her.... thought you might like it .

"How do you expect kids to listen to their parents when Tarzan lives half naked, Cinderella comes home at midnight, Pinocchio lies all the time, Alladin is the king of thieves, Batman drives at 200 mph, Sleeping Beauty is lazy, and Snow White lives with 7 guys. We shouldn't be surprised when kids… misbehave, they get it from their story book."

This made me chuckle!

Had a good day today! Planned to spend the day by the pool but it started raining and I couldn't deal with having goosebumps in Orlando! hahaha so we came back in! Me and Sarah sat around like lazy sloths today eating Oreos. Standard! Then we all went to Epcot! Was soo good we went on the Future ride and the nemo ride! They were amazing.... so clever! Then we went to China to eat there! Was sooo nice had some sweet and sour pork stuff but tasted soo good! We watched the fireworks which were actually amazing, may even have been better than the ones in Magic Kingdom! They were sooooo goood!

We took a walk over to the Boardwalk.. which was beautiful! So many cute little shops. Our friend Lauren is a lifeguard at the resort Yacht and Beach Club. Was the nicest place I have everrrr seen! Its like $700 dollars a room per night.. then they have rooms on the fifth floor that had jacuzzis and a butler and all the rest of it.. but was $33,000 a night! ha obviously that's standard for me and I will be staying for two weeks :D hhaa! bet the rooms are beautiful though! The place was soo nice! The pool had a slide then went round a ship then into the resort and the water had sand in the bottom to make it look like the beach! Was such a beautiful place! Then we went to beaches and cream for ice-cream. Which is this amazing ice-cream place that is famous for a dish called the kitchen sink.. Its basically a massive dish which is a kitchen sink.. obviously... which is filled with like 8 scoops of ice-creme a and chocolate then a whole can of whippy cream! Think of the calories in that badboy! I just stuck to sharing a banana split with Sarah but will defiantly have to give that a go one day!

Dad they have this steak restaurant called the Yachts man steak house..you would love it.. they leave the steaks for like 3weeks to mature.... very expensive but you would love it!!!

There was a massive globe in there so we played a game where you shut you eyes an spun it an wherever it landed that where your getting married. ha good game.. mine was the a Caribbean Island... so dad get saving :D haha!

It was such a beautiful hotel though.. lived the dream... until we had to wait for the bus back to vista.. then not so much! haha

but was a really good night!!

Hope you have a nice birthday dad! Lots of love and kisses xxxx

This is a film of me and Sarah from the future land! Haha its brilliant they created it for us! xx

Happy Birthday Grandma and Aunty Pauline

Happy Birthday! Hope you have both had a lovely day and a nice night tonight.

Work today was good. We had an artist in today doing signings and it was really busy! They place was packed most of the day which was good. Unfortunately it rained all day :( but at least it was hot rain.. something were not used to in the UK! At least I was at work all day and it wasn't on my day off or that would have been annoying!

At work at 6am.. just had to call the bus to get me at 5 and you all know I am not a morning person so that should be fun!

lots of love xx

Heya! This is just a few photos from miami! Not exactly a good ones but they are of us all loving life on the beach!

Today at work was good actually. It was dead as it was raining all day evening! The whole time I was at work it was chucking it down!

Met a family from England they were soo nice! Literally spoke to them for about an hour! So was good way to waste time on my shift but they were soo nice! They were taking the mic cuz they noticed I had lost my brummy accent but there all from Somerset (but not the farmer type) and he was laughing because I still said 'Bath' not 'Barrrth'! haha! they loved it!

Then one of the girls I work with was loving my accent so they were all trying to copy my accent and I was teaching them English sayings and words! Was funny they loved it

I finally took of my 'Earning my Ears' badge. I only kept it on this long because if people asked me about artists I don't know I just tell them I have only been here a few days so they feel sorry for me! Hhahah was such a plan! But everyone I work with told me I know enough to take it off now so I did! haha scarey though!

Anyways have to be up in a few hours for work so

Night xxx

Happy birthday Paul!

Happy Birthday big bro!! Hope you're having a good day and have a good night tonight!

Well IHop was amazing! but I can definitely see why Americans are soo fat!! Haven't really done a lot the past few days! Went to the Florida Mall the other day and mall at millennia today! The mall today was amazing! was soo big with all the posh shops like louis Vuitton and Channel. We just quickly walked past all these! Can't even afford to look let alone buy anything.

Yesterday was sooo boring was really slow.. but its been good the past few days! Met some really cute little kids..

P.s sorry theres no picture.. I'm not on my laptop x

Hey!!
So I am officially a cast member now.. and have passed all of my training.. however I have kept my 'earning my ears' badge on as an excuse if I don't know all the artists and stuff... which is good.
Sunday was pretty horrible. It was my first day on my own and I felt like I didn't have a clue what I was doing and it was soo busy and people kept asking me stuff that I didn't know the answer to. It was very stressful and I hated it. Luckily there were people around that could help me but I felt like a amjor hassle asking them all the time. Yesterday was much better though. I feel more confident with what I'm doing and its going better. My manage came up to me and said I was doing really well and all the questions I was asking were really good and it showed I cared about the guests and cared about getting better. So that made me happier as she seemed happy with me.
Thats really all about thats happened. Have spent the past few days by the pool which has been lovlieee!! getting myself a tan.
Then this morning we all had to get up at 6am to get our social security number. Was a pain but its all done now.
Just about to go to Animal Kingdom for one of the girls birthdays then hopefully of to Miami tomorrow which will be amazingggg!! So if i don't update for a few days I'm sunning it up in Miami.
xxxx

I've got no strings to hold me down!

This is just to show you the university... haha if only all universities looked that appealing to go to.. I'd be a first class student!!

Last night I went out in down town Orlando which was AMAZING!! was nice to get out of Florida! was cool! and everyone loves the British accent so even better!

Today I had extra training which I was expecting as I had already completed my training.. howeverrrr they trained me for the Christmas shop and the Memories shop incase I get moved around in my zone which was actually pretty cool. I got taught to do the embroidery on hats and how to make peoples names on those leather bracelets!Made quite a few today and they all turned out really well so was quite proud of myself. Was good to get into other shops and do different things and was cool all the stuff I got taught. Also they have this thing where is a cast member has done something good then another cast member can fill a slip out and and give it to them and the manager and it goes onto their record... and I got ones of those today which was really cool.. so looks good on my files! It was just for helping out loads at the Christmas shop... but really it was for me and my trainer.. because it was really busy but they let me have a till and serve over there.. which was cool considering I had only just been trained there. The trainer was impressed with me though and said I was doing really well. We saw one of my managers and he was shocked I was still being trained because he thought I was doing well and didn't think I needed any more training.. which is good.. just to bump up my ego a little bit. Im also known as the' brit' at work! haha

Then after my training finished I had two hours in the art shop but with no trainers anymore so I am an official cast member! was actually really cool! Made friends with a guy.... who had a really cool name.. but I can't rememeber it! anyways he was a ledgend and taught me all the tricks and stuff. Was nice just being able to chat to the guests and have banter which I enjoyed! So all in all pretty good day at work!! I think I may prefer working to uni! which is a shocker!!

Thats about all that has happened. Me and my housemates did just find a website to watch Waterloo road though!! Which to be honest was an exciting moment!

Also Mark text me yesterday to say Hi to everyone.. so 'hi' from Mark.. as far as I know he's fine.. was a pretty vague text but he seems happy.

Off to bed.. have a stressful day tomorrow of sunbathing...swimming and going out.. its a hard life.....

Lots of love xx

p.s I have just re-read this.. i think I may be American already the amount of times I have written...'it was cool' and thats with me getting rid of a few!! Sorry! I'm just too cool! xx

Earning my Ears

Sorry I haven't updated for a while. Have been crazy busy at work. Didn't get in until after midnight from work last night and then had to be up at 5 again this morning for work again. So didn't have time to update. So two days ago I actually started training at the store. It was all going well until I was sick in the bin in my managers office! never a good start to a new job. So she sent me home. Not sure why I was sick but felt so much better afterwards. Yesterday I had a second day of training which was good. My trainer was crazy!!! All the people are really nice but quite alot older than me! No- one quite like my Brenda yet!! Its quite hard as there's loads to learn about the different artists and then how to ship the products and how to order things in for guests. Which is obviously different from home. I then had to take loads of assesment tests which I got 100% on all of them which was good. I then got taught to check out which is alot easier than at home because we have other people to count it all for us, which makes life alot easier. So that was a good day.. Then today I was shattered when I got to work after being up at 5 but was good. I had to do the deliveries which was alright. Not as hard as the ones at home as there snot as much stock. So got taught all that stuff which was cool but they all seemed really happy with me.. I did a few shipping forms and order forms on my own today which the lady who trained me was really impressed with saying I've picked it up really quickly and soon ill be an asset to the store! ahah which is nice. Has given me abit more confidence. Guest servings alot harder here as I'm not up to scratch on my artists but it'll come with time. So it's all going well so far. Am still loving it. I'm off to Hollywood studios in a bit to watch Fantasmic which is aparently amazing. So ill let you know how that is.

Also the picture up there is from the fireworks display the other night.. I was very impressed with my photography skills which everone took the mic out of me for but I loved it!! xx

It all started with a mouse and a dream!!

Hey!! really sorry am on abit of a time limit as my batterys about to die and the charger isnt working!!
have had training for the past few days! been pretty cool learnt loads about the stores and where im working and started till training yesterday!! its pretty cool the amount we have learnt about it all! im going to have to learn loads about art for my shop... which seems pretty cool. i can geek up a little bit!! weather is boiling... so glad im not outside!! last night we went to watch the disney fireworks and then before that the parade. This year at disney they have a new thing called 'let the memories begin' which is all about making memories for our guests and every night they project footage from the day onto the castle... it is AMAZING!! acualy was unreal.. they have done it so it looks like bits of the castle are falling off and it changes colour and things.. it doesnt sound that good but was actualy the best thing iv ever seen!!! Walt would have been proud! The parks didnt close until midnight so we got to go on some of the rides.. as cast members we managed to skip most of the cues which was a bonus!! haha! loving it here! so nice just to say 'am popping to magic kingdom after work' haha for free! always good!! am off to magic kingdom again today as my only day off!! need to go and test out all the other rides.
The is a pirates of the caribbean ride.. and at the end there is a jack sparrow sitting in a chair.. but apparently he comes to visit quite alot so when he comes they put the real jack sparrow in the chair instead.. but guests never notice its him because of how good the model it.. my friends working on this ride.. so fingers crossed he comes to visit so i can go and see him.
battery is about to die
much love xxx

'the art of disney' little bit boring but we'll see what happens! may be alright! Wondered around downtown for abit while waiting for the others then went to dinner at the rainforest cafe (we also managed to get discount here- those passes can do alot!!) was such nice food but was stuffed afterwards!! definatly realise why the americans are so big!! theres just food everywhere!!!
We then had the best taxi ride ever!! There was like 15 of us into this taxi and the guy- Kojac to be precise- aka LEDGEND! had a karaoke machine in his car! So we all had microphones and were blasting the tunes the whole way home!! was the best taxi ever!!
Very eventful day and am currently LOVING LIFE!!!
Start my proper training tomorrow so best get to sleep! night x

Heyaaa!! pretty exciting day yesterday!! todays my birthday!! wooopp!
so yesterday mornin we all got up an had breakfast!! then went for a swim an a little sunbathe at the hotel! weather is amazinggg!! then we managed to loads 8 people and millions of suitcases into a taxi.. pretty good efforts then came over to disney! was soo exciting.. we all got given a number then went inside... i told them my number an the lady got really exciting an shouted 'its cara's birthday!!!!!!' haha on our welcome pack they had a big badge saying happy birthday cara.. so then all the disney people stood around me and started singing to me... then they gave me mickey mouse and took loads of pictures of me! was quite funny. we then got taken to our aparetments. im on vista way... which is cool... its the rubbish one of all the aparetments... an the same place anna is at. My friend amy is at patterson so was a shame to be seperated but the lads are on vista aswell which was cool. I got to my apartment and there was a french girl called patirica there.. really nice.. were now roommates and have an onsuite which is cool!!
we took an eventful trip to walmart!! haha had to buy loads!! not even a hanger in the wardrobe so ended up spendin a fair bit and got myself a new camera!!
once we finally got back to the apartment after a crazy spanish taxi driver not knowing the way home!! we quickly unpacked and went to patterson for a pool party. Amys apartment is soooo nice!!! alot nicer than ours! then headed over to the party. Was abit strange not being able to have a drink at the party but was really good in the end. we all had a dance and we got free pizza and stuff!! which was cool!
then went back to amys an chilled out with pizzza!! really good made lots of friends now!!
