Amy, I think you were meant to live in a flat state like Florida. I am so proud of you for not getting lost at all. I am loving this TR and I think that you should update a piece of your life everyday, because you are living the life that I want to be living. I am planning on a mousefest 2009 trip, so we will have to meet while I am there. I miss you, my ex CT friend.

Update # 2 for 9/22

So with the alarm ringing at 6am we got up and ready mom was going to drive me over to meet a friend for breakfast today. Dawndenise and I were going to have breakfast at Tusker House in Animal Kingdom.

Mom dropped me off at the front of the park and left so she could go get Grandma and head to the apartment so she could sign for the Relocubes. I headed to the guest service window and got my GAC card and then waited for Dawn at the front gates.

Pretty soon we met up and we headed into the park, and had to wait for the park opening ceremony to finish before heading back to Harambe, we got checked in and soon brought in.

Dawn will be posting photos in her TR so make sure you check it out in few days I am sure she will share those.

After a very scrumptious, and fun filled breakfast we headed out and over to the safari and got to see a lot of animals. the only camera I had was my blackberry and they didn't come out very well but here are a few that came out ok.







After the safari we said our see ya later's and then I headed over to Asia and I rode Expedition Everest twice in a row via the Single Rider Line.

Then I people watched for a while, sat on a few park benches and just enjoyed the fact that I was in Animal Kingdom and relaxed.

Then headed over for the 11:30 showing of FOTLK and practiced my warthogness once again.!!! Geez once just once could i be the giraffe's or the lions? Doesn't really matter that show is Disney to me, I cry every time and I love that show It finally hit me all at once what is going on, where I am, and extra tears ensued. I was so HAPPY!

After our festival, I made my way out and to Pizzafari, I had lunch consisting of a Hot Italian Deli Sandwich my favorite meal for a CS location on property!!!! and a Sprite! with an Orange Juice Bar for dessert from the ice cream cart on the way out of the park.

After finishing my ice cream on a park bench in the Oasis I made my way to the Bus Stops took a bus from AK to AKL, then AKL to DTD where I bought more bath bombs and mom picked me up as the first strong storm we have seen so far started. We made it to the hotel and the skies opened up and we were drenched by the time we got to the room.

We dried off, relaxed, had dinner and we finished packing up our things as we leave at 7am tomorrow to meet the movers!

My Mini vacation has ended and the work begins!

This is my last update until we get Internet set up which hopefully will be sometime tomorrow but we shall see!!!

Until my next update my friends!

Amy, Glad you are having a great time. Wish I was that close just to pop into one of the parks for a few hours. Glad you are having fun with all the PP's you are meeting up with. Don't work too hard with the movers.

What a fun couple of days you've had - and I am so jealous of what you've been doing. Can you tell I'd love to live near Disney as well? As you're doing PassPorter meets, hopefully we'll get to see you in just over three weeks time?
