big update!

See you real soon, Allison

Today we took Allison to the airport. She is going back to California to finish her last semester of college. We went to lunch at Margaritaville at City Walk (at Universal) then headed to the airport. It was really sad to see her leave but I know we will see her in just a few weeks. We are planning a trip to California to visit Disneyland and see where Allison lives. 

People at the airport probably thought the four of us were going on a month long vacation but really it was just all of Allison's luggage.

More good-byes

I also had to say good-bye to my amazing coworkers at Mickey's of Hollywood at Hollywood Studios. Almost all of the college program-ers are going back home to finish school. I was so lucky to work with such amazing people during my time there. Even though I am going to a new location I can still pick up shifts at Mickey's. I have my first one a week from Wednesday! To celebrate the end of our program a big group of us went to IHOP after what was most people's last shift. It was the perfect end to our time at the store. 

The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review

Sunday night we went to hoop-dee-doo. It was so much fun! It was similar to the Polynesian luau because it is a dinner show but it is at Fort Wilderness Campgrounds and it is more of a country theme. I would definetly recommend it to anyone visiting Disney. They only downside is it takes up a few hours. Check in is around 8 and we were done around 10:30. 

 

A Hidden Gem

One of my favorite parks of Hollywood Studios is the statue garden. There are busts of many influential television stars and producers. Part of the reason I love it is because I learned about many of these stars in my Communication and Culture classes at IU. If you are ever at Hollywood Studios I highly recommend taking just five minutes to walk through and check it out. 

New Adventures

We have been making some trips to downtown Orlando to visit the bars. It is sort of like Indianapolis because parking is pretty easy and there is a big area where pretty much all of the bars are. We have so much fun! And we are always safe!

Puppy Love

Veronica's family has a condo about 15 minutes away from our apartment and when they come to visit they bring their three puppies. One of our favorite things is going over to see them! Veronica's mom also makes amazing meals! 

A visit from Kate

Last week Kate, my roommate from IU last year, was in the Orlando area and we got to have dinner together! I was so happy to see her and catch up. She is studying physical therapy in the Chicago area right now and she is really enjoying it. I miss her a ton and I can't wait to see her this summer and visit her in Chicago! 

Coming Soon.....

Even though I am already halfway done with my time here in Florida there are still many adventures to be had. Tomorrow I have my first day at the Polynesian where I will be working at Ohana. Ohana is one of my favorite restaurants on property and I am so excited to work there! My aunt and uncle, Dickie and Peggy Sexson, arrive tomorrow to spend some time in Florida! I am excited for them to come back. My friend Greg is also visiting this weekend. Shelby's birthday is next Monday and her family is visiting a week from Thursday. I am sure I will have a ton of pictures and posts in the near future!
