this may take a while!

hi guys!

so, i left off by saying how my parents and brother would be arriving in 4 days.... and indeed they did!

they arrived on the evening of the 11th so in the morning before work i went to check them in and take a bit of my stuff then on the 12th i went in the morning to say hello before work! was great to see everyone even tho nobody came to help me with my luggage!!! because of work i was sumtimes staying at hotel and others not - really depended on how late i got out of work!

On the 15th i was free to go spend some time with them so we went to Magic Kingdom! because we were ment to be doing mickeys very merry christmas party and cos was my day off i got to decide where we had lunch so we ate with the princesses in Cinderellas castle!!! was great!

On the 16th we went to Animal Kingdom in the morning and got fast passes for Everest! We went to see the Nemo musical which i love! then went back to Everest! we got front row so i held on tight to my camera and video recorded it... however when we came to get off the "train" my bag got stuck and as i stuggled with it i deleted the video! simon wasnt impressed so i now have to go do it again!!! we also headed over to MGM to see the Osbourne Lights and Fantasmic!!!

On the 17th mum dragged us all out of bed earlier than normal (yep, they kept gettin me up early - wasnt impressed!!!) and we went to EPCOT to do the Segway tour which was the best! quite possibly my favourite and we all came off wanting one! because mum had kept it secret she had cancelled where we were ment to be eating so i took them to Coral Reef - i think, hope, they were suibtably impressed! after lunch mum and dad went on honey i shrunk the audience and me and simon headed over to the World Showcase. i tried to get him to do daft hats around the world but only managed in canada! tried to do kidkot aswel but he wasnt having any of it! we then listened to the christmas stories from around the world... according to the sign in the UK, the UK is made up of Scotland, N. Ireland, Wales and.... Great Britain!!!! :S

the 18th was back to work for me and time to move hotel - Yacht Club with Concierge! (oh, we were in All Stars Music Family Suite for 1st week!!!) the yacht club is our new favourite resort especially with concierge!!!

on the 20th we went to Ragland for dinner, timed just right as we had entertainment!

on the 21st i was off again, we went to MGM and had lunch at 50s prime time! i love it there! and did backlot tour before heading to MK for MVMCP! i ended up going seperating from them so i could do character hunts! got new ones which is a hard task with my collection! we met back up for the parade and then was on to bed!

the 23rd was off to Epcot for me and simon while mum and dad went to mall....Zzzz.... we did Soarin and went for lunch in france before i went to work and left him to his own devices!

the 23rd was also when Davina and her sister, Rachel, landed back in the Sunshine state!!! i had already made the trip to the hotel to check them in and deliver there christmas presents which were delivered to the room on christmas day!

i spent the night of the 23rd back at the commons so i could sign D and Rach in on the 24th to use the washer and to collect the rest of Ds luggage! was great to see them both and catch up real quick before heading to the Boardwalk to check into our 3rd hotel - the boardwalk! i then worked a PM and served D and Rach. it was then back to the hotel as quick as i could to get to bed before santa came!

on the 25th i was a good girl and wasnt awake at my normal 4am! but at 730ish we woke to discover santa had bn and left his usual snow prints nxt to the door (my brother brought the "santa please wipe your feet" sign with him) and a nice big pile of presents! dad had a great idea - put all the presents in bags and take them to the lobby! we sat under the big christmas tree and opened them all which was great!!! i was a PM so it was soon time for me to go to work but i got to serve everyone when they came for the firework viewing dinner!!!

on the 26th i was a mid and was home time for everyone :(

since then ive bn up to the normal, days off thurs and friday! (means no EMH!!! :D)
on the 29th i went to go get high tea at the Grand Floridian but they were full so went to Tonys at MK instead!

New Years eve was soon upon us and although was busy in the park the restaurant didnt seem too bad, the sections were all changed so we only had 3 tables instead of 4. it wasnt what we were expected and only a couple of us were lucky enough to make good money! it was a great night tho, at 7 we celebrated by all going thru the restaurant clapping and cheering, think some of the guests thought wed gone mad! and then at 1140, wow - what a firework display! it was normal illuminations but then there were also fireworks from behind each pavillion goin in order of who reached 2007 first! most of us watched the show from lower deck so couldnt see the UK fireworks so just cheered very loudly and did Auld Lang Syne!!! fantastic night! best new year!!!

and so far in the new year its been mainly work and planning my final trip! ive been to Raglan with Weeze and got front row and therefore good pictures of Fantasmic!

yesterday and today ive had off and have mainly been sorting out my trip and scrapbooking! - my wall is now full!!!
