Ashlee Nicole Pratt: Goodbye California ... Hello Florida!

On August 16th, 2011 I headed towards Orlando, Florida and my Disney Adventure. My flight had a 2 hour layover in Vegas and since my Grandpa works there it was great that he was able to stop by and I was able to visit with him for a while. :)

My flight reached Orlando at 1am on August 17th and there I met up with a few friends from school. We decided that we were all there early instead of just waiting around the airport until it was time to check in might as well go where we are supposed to check in and wait. So around 2:30 am we got on the shuttle and headed there. When we got there the security told us where we were supposed to go so we just hung out. Then as we were sitting there some very interesting people passed by, including some drunk french students. Very interesting night. Then a few hours had gone by and guess what... we find out that the security told us the wrong spot so now we have to walk with our luggage to find where we are supposed to be and where the line starts. Then we are told by someone in line that its a bad idea to have luggage with you because it holds you back.. well that would have been nice to know, but really we came right from the airport what are we supposed to do with our airport and shouldn't they have been better at organizing that? So we wait the 3 more hours until 8 and then someone shows up and tells us we have to walk across the apartment complex to where we check in... and as we start walking (we were at the very front of the line!) there are a group of like 10people that start running to get ahead.. which was kinda dumb and then we get there and have to walk to a different room to set our luggage down THEN we have to rejoin the line. So now we are no longer close to the front (about 80 people were able to make it ahead of us), but atleast we were as close as we got because there was still a TON of people behind us. After HOURS of lines and paperwork and information it was FINALLY time to get to go to my room and start unpacking. By this time I had only had about 2 hours of and on sleep (on the airplane) since 7am the day before and all I had eaten was a donut, some pretzles, and french fries! I was starving! Luckily it was so awesome because I got to my apartment and met my roommate who was here with her dad and they offered to take me out with lunch with them! It was so nice and I was so absolutely grateful!! (: After a few more meetings later that night and unpacking I was DEAD tired and thankful to go to bed. Oh and in the massive amounts of information we got I also found out that I will be working in Downtown Disney - Pleasure Island! Still not exactly sure what I will be doing, but will be getting more information at training tomorrow! (:

Then today (Thursday the 18th) we pretty much had a free day and so we were able to go to the store and get some basic necessities. Then two of my roommate and I decided to head to explore Downtown Disney!

Here are some pretty cool LEGO creations!!
