Boo To You!! Happy Halloween

On October 13th, 2011 I attended Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with my friend Molly. It was a night full of lots of Disney FUN(:


We were Pink and Purple Crayons(: 

Of course we had to ride some attractions including The Haunted Mansion, Tomorrowland Speedway and The Tea Cups! We weren't too worried about riding them all because we could always ride another time. 

We wanted to make sure we saw the Happy HalloWISHES Firework Spectacular! and it was AMAZING(: 

We also watched the "Boo To You" Parade(: 

and of course met some characters! 
Including ALL Seven Dwarfs (which are only available at this special event), I saw Gaston and had to get a picture with him and also Donald and Daisy Duck in their cute Halloween Costumes(:   

It was a great night and I am very happy I was able to go. I cant wait for Mickey's Christmas Party!

Disney Quest ... ?

So before I was assigned to work there I had never heard of Disney Quest before and personally I think its a pretty cool place (it may seem some what outdated, but still fun!) So I figured it would be a good idea to share a little more about the place I work.




Its a 5-Story Indoor Interactive Theme Park! 
I have been here for about a month and a half and I still don't know everything in the building, partly because I haven't played any of the games, I work with the attractions. 
The attractions include Virtual Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, CyberSpace Mountain, Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride, Animation Academy, Buzz Lightyear's Astroblaster, Mighty Duck's Pinball Slam, Ride the Comix and Invasion:  ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.

Virtual Jungle Cruise: In this attraction you board a raft, travel back in time, and try to paddle your way trying to avoid dangers such as dinosaurs. 
Pirates of the Caribbean: A crew of 5 sail the seas destroying other ships as well as sea monsters to collect as much treasure as possible. Includes one captain who steers the ship and up to four gunners. 
CyberSpace Mountain: Here you can build your very own roller coaster as scary or mild as you want, with the help of Bill Nye the Coaster Guy and then ride it up at the launch bay simulators. 
 Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride: Ride through the streets of Agrabah collecting 
jewels in order to save the Genie. 
Animation Academy: Learn to draw your favorite Disney Characters in a 30-minute class. 
Buzz Lightyear's Astroblaster: Cadets board their very own Astroblaster and collect asteriods in this twist on bumper cars where you can not only ram into eachother but also shoot asteriods and cause each other to spin out of control for about ten seconds. 
 Mighty Duck's Pinball Slam: Player enter a giant game of pinball where they use their hoverdisk to control a pinball and try to collect the most points. 
 Ride the Comix: Players become Heroes and  enter the world of the comic book to fight the Villains (which are based off of Disney Villains) 
Invasion: ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter: Ride in a rescue unit to save colonists from aliens who have invaded, with 3 gunners and 1 pilot.

There is also so much more then just these attractions, on the five floors there are over 300 video games! 

Another Visit to Epcot

So it probably seems like I only go to Epcot since this is the second post about it but for some reason Epcot is the only place I remember to talk pictures. A few days ago I went with a friend from to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studio in the same day! It was so much fun, but I love that I don't have to be stressed and try to get everything done in a day I can go and do a few things and then leave. I have been working a lot though so I have been lacking in the picture department, but I try to remember.

So yesterday I had a very productive day. First Molly and I went to get our tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!! We are going next Thursday on the 13th and I am soooo excited! We are dressing up as crayons (I am pink and she is purple)!! After we got our ticket we then took a trip to Walmart to get groceries and such and then she needed to mail something to we rushed to the bus only to find the post office closed so we ended up taking a taxi to fed ex and then back home where we caught another bus to head to Epcot! I love Epcot there is some much stuff that either I never saw or dont remember when I came with my parents before. My favorite was by far the fire work show! I was so amazed!! I love fireworks(:  The Food and Wine Festival was going on so there were lots of stands for countries that are not normally there and it was really cool! Here are the signs for the other countries ... (yes I know Cheese is not a country, but it was one of the booths and made me laugh haha)
