Hockey, Ice Hockey - 12th Feb

So today started of rather unusually! I hadn't set my alarm as today was my 2nd day off, but I woke up rather abruptly to my phone going crazy. It was on silent so the vibrations woke me up and there was able 40 messages sitting there from one of my best friends, Alexa! She was asking me to Skype her - so I did! To which I asked her: are you dying?! Is this why that the important thing that you have woken me up to tell me?! 

She then proceeded to inform me that she will be visiting me for my birthday in about 44 days!! I had absolutely no idea that she was going to tell me that! I was so surprise and I am now so excited to see her and spend my birthday with my family over here in the most Magical place!

Which speaking off today I had tickets booked for Ice Hockey which was in Tampa around an hour and half west of Orlando - so I actually got out of my little Disney bubble for a little while and got to travel to Tampa! It was great experience!

Very very American! We had a buffet of hot dogs, hamburgers, devilled eggs, chips and cookies! 





We were up really high (nose bleed section) but it was really cool to be able to experience the atmosphere even all the way up the top.


I didn't occur to me until I other that I had no Ice Hockey knowledge whatsoever as it is completely different to the hockey I used to play at home. However, with my existing knowledge of air hockey and well basic sense i was able to follow along. I went with a group of Aussies, Kiwi' and a few Americans so it was a good experience!
(Even if we were freezing the whole night - haha!)

Classes & Epcot - Wednesday 11th Feb

So after working 7 days straight I finally had a day off today and unfortunately I got sick! :( Just a cold though so I'm hoping it will be going away soon!

But anyways today was my first day for one of the classes that I am taking while here at Disney! It won't be a hard class but i think it will be time consuming. Excluding today I will have classes from 11am - 5:30pm but today I was only there from 1:30-5:30pm.

It was just a lot of introductory things - it wasn't overly interesting so when I got home Shelley was here just hanging so we decided to go into Epcot and meet Hannah after she finished work. 

It was a great night! We met Snow White 
Princess Aurora:

And Winnie the Pooh and Tigger!

Then we wondered around the pavilions for a while and I bought the greatest cookie to ever be created. It was from Germany as they have a caramel bakery and everything is made with Whethers Caramel. It's safe to say it was delicious!

We then watched illuminations! And because Magic Kingdom fireworks were also at 9pm we were able to see Wishes aswell - it was beautiful! 


I really enjoy illuminations! And thus concludes a great night!

Adventures Before Work - 8th Feb

So the joys of always starting work in the afternoon is that I can go out and do things during the day. Today, was Sunday and we decided that we would go to Animal Kingdom for breakfast! So Hannah, Laura Rayzhaan and I were at the parrk for park opening! 

We had 9.15am reservations at an 'All you can enjoy' character breakfast at Tusker House! 
It was so nice - plus the food was great! And we got to meet Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Mickey all dressed up in safari gear! 


We had a great time! And we all but rolled out of there we were so full! 

It was perfect timing to because the next show time of Festival of the Lion King was just about to start - so we snuck in a got good seats and we loved it! 



We then went on Everest (my favourite ride at AK) 


But after that Rayzhaan and I had to come home as we both had work that night. It was still great though to do stuff with the roommates before work!
