Sorry you didn't get the job. I'm sure you'll find something soon. Plus, wouldn't a job interfere with your WDW time?

I know the perfect job for you, Amy. You could do simple little grocery runs for our PPers to help them get supplies. Kind of like a personal PPer Shopper. And this way you could see all of us PPers. Besides have of the other grocers charge an arm and a leg and want so much money even just for a simple thing as a case of water.

Update 10/20

So this weekend the only plans we had were Sunday was EPCOT and then a passporter meet for illuminations. So when it came to Saturday we were unsure of what we wanted to do.

Originally it was going to be just going to Whole Foods but with the craziness of Tuesday and the excitement for our upcoming cruise we decided a day at the beach and Port Canaveral was in order!

So we packed up our swim gear, and beach chairs and headed out towards Port Canaveral. About 45 minutes later we were driving by the gorgeous Ship and Port Center. Being Saturday we got to see the Magic omg I cried it was so beautiful and I was sooooo wanting to be on the ship!

I knew Kenny one of our fellow Passporters was on board but since I didn't have a way to contact him I took as many photos as I could and then just link him to the gallery on his TR so when he gets home he will have plenty of photos of him going out to sea I love the perk of living so close I can go see the ship whenever I want

We drove around the port once taking photos and crying at the same time and I think the people working there thought we were nuts but who cares.

















So after we drove around by the ship we headed out of the Port area and made our way down AIA to the Ron Jon Surf Shop we haven't been there before and wanted to see what it was like. It had a lot of nice things a great selection on beach wear and lots of Souvinears for purchase. We bought some Sunblock as the stuff we have is expired and caused me to get really bad sunburns at our Complex's pool.

So with our purchase we headed out and drove trying to find a beach but the parking being Saturday was a bit much and the ones we could find parking for and was just a Meter were full so we headed back over to the Port and over to Jetty Park. It was $5 to park and we found a spot right on the Jetty and decided to just lather the sunblock and sit and wait. plus since I am afraid of Fish I wasn't about to go in the water so this worked for me.

We waited a while and talked to the people around us for a while and just enjoyed the quiet and the warmth and the light breeze. Ahhhh this was the life!

Soon we heard Carnival's Ship the Glory toot its horn and it was on its way down the canal. That ship was HUGE! But we agree the ship isn't as "pretty" as DCL is but it was HUGE and looked like it would be fun!

Here are some shots of the Carnival Glory









We waited a while after they left but soon we heard DCL blow its awesome Horn and it was so special to hear that Tune For those who don't know what the tune is here is sneak peak:
YouTube - The Famous Ship Horn

So soon we saw the Magic coming down the canal. When it got to the Casino Boats they blew their horn and the Magic Blew hers the Magic WON! in our book at least

After the Magic sailed past us and around the corner of the Jetty we left and headed home to have dinner.

Here is the Magic as it sailed by us and out to Sea!
















Up Next...Sunday at EPCOT

Every time I see your pictures of the cruise ships now that you live down there I think about a cruise. Maybe you can wave to me some day as we go by. I am still loving your report and hope you keep it up.
