Quarter of the way through and feeling homesick!

Idiot of the week:

American man: German?
Me: Sorry?
His wife: He wants to know if you are German.
Me: No, I'm English, you're in the United Kingdom.
Man: (Pointing to the shop which is next to and connected to mine, and full of people in the same costume) But that was Germany.
Me: No this is all the United Kingdom, Germany is after Italy.


Yes, that's right I have reached the three month mark! I can't believe it's got this far already! The girls and I celebrated by having dinner at a restaurant called Bahama Breeze which was delicious, then going to a bar called Ale House.

I've been feeling very homesick the past week or so. I'm not sure why, maybe because on the same day, Becky and Kenny got married and I got some bad news from home. I felt abit tearful at work that day. I also woke up the other day and thought I was at home in bed then realised I wasn't! It was very surreal! My family are due out in a month, I really can't wait to see them, I really need a hug from my mum :-(

Although I've said that I'm still really enjoying myself. I went to see Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios for the first time and just when I thought Disney couldn't amaze me anymore they go and do it again! I got all tingley and emotional like I usually do especially when Belle and the Beast came out lol.

The other week the girls and I went to Mickey's not so scary Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom (I know it's not even October but these things start early!) It was incredible! We all dressed up, I went as Princess Jasmine of course! We went round the park trick or treating and came back with so much candy it was ridiculous! We also went on some rides as it was so quiet and watched the parade and Hallo-wishes (the fireworks). It was all fantastic, I can't wait for the Christmas party!

The night after Beth and I went to see Cirque Du Soleil. We had dinner before hand at Planet Hollywood then went to the show in Downtown Disney. We had front row seats which was pretty scary as the acrobats are so close but I was really impressed with the show. All the acts are so talented, if you ever get a chance to see it you definitely should, I'm so glad I had the chance.

Unfortunately The request Kirstie and I put in to move in with Beth was declined which I was pretty gutted about. My roommate left last week and I've had a new one move in the other day. She seems very nice, she is from France and is called Clementine. Kirstie and I have put in a request to move into a one bed apartment together. It's not that I don't like the girls I live with but it would be so much more convenient to live with my friend and I would feel as if I could invite people over etc. We may have to wait a couple of months though so I'm staying put here for now.

On my day of this week the girls and I got up early and went to Golden Corral for a buffet breakfast! It was delicious but I have never eaten such ridiculous stuff for breakfast! Fry up, followed by pancakes and maple syrup then fruit salad then chocolate cake and cookies! And I wonder why i'm getting fat! We then took a trip to Property Control which is a store for cast members to buy goods which are damaged slightly or lost property which has never been claimed- we get 75% off! It's amazing, you may be getting pressies from there lol.

On my second day off Beth and I went to Animal Kingdom again. We did the usual rides- Everest, Safari and Dinosaur (which broke down in the dark and having a fear of dinosaurs I nearly cried!) But we also took our time wandering around the shops where I bought some presents and going to look at the animals. The tigers and the gorillas were definitely my favourites, I'll post up some photos on facebook to show you how close I was to a tiger!

The Food and Wine Festival is starting at Epcot tomorrow which I cannot wait for, it means we will get alot busier at work which is great because it has been very boring lately! I can't wait to try out the foods from around the world either! hehe.

I'm off to a throw in tonight as we had some newbies arrive yesterday, I'm looking forward to meeting them!

Congrats to Becky and Kenny getting married- the photos look amazing. I'm just sad I wasn't there to witness it. :-(
