I got up this morning and decided it would be a good day to make sausage stuff. After breakfast, which probably should have been considered lunch, I met Jessica and Amanda at Hollywood Studios. Of course we had to go on the Tower of Terror and we some hoe managed to throw up some diamonds for the picture. We then went and Fast Passed the Rockin' Roller Coaster. We took some sweet jumping pics in front of the guitar. Thank you to our lovely photographer Brian. We then decided to run over and go meet Prince Caspian. It was interesting. He had a long line this time so we didn't get to spend as much time with him like last time. Also, Brian did not have to learn how to pose. He just copied what Caspian did, but it lacked the overall look because Brian didn't have a sword, much to his dismay.

PIxie Dusting in The Land
Work was pretty fun today. Ebonee and I got to walk around Fantasyland and pixie dust people. FINALLY!! We ended up signing a bunch of autographs and taking a bunch of pictures with people. By the end of it, we were both COVERED in pixie dust. Thank you wind. Also, Ebonee decided it would be a good idea to basically empty a pixie wand on my back. There is still pixie dust coming out of my locker. The other exciting thing was when I brought a little girl back to do her reveal for her outfit, I asked her what the magic words were and she said "Please and Thank you." haha. It was adorable.

Aladdin!! I Love YOU!!
Today was another Fairy Tale Day at the BBB, but no more sleeping beauties. Ebonee and I buddied up again. I had one princess who could not stop crying. I distracted her with stickers and reading stories about Tinkerbell and covering myself with pixie dust. Our last two princesses were the best. The first one was a mom who was there with her daughter celebrating her 25th birthday. She let her daughter pick out her hairstyle and what color and everything. She ended up with a pink diva with a tinkerbell crown. They were the cutest thing. They sat facing each other and just laughed the whole time. Then our last princess for the day was one of the twin girls who were celebrating the sweet 16! They were identical twins and they both chose the pop princess.

Sleeping Beauty and Creepers
It was Fairy Tale Mania at the BBB today. I think I only did 1 diva out of all the princesses I had. I did have one little girl dressed up as Tinkerbell, who did get a fairy tale, and when I turned her around screamed "OH! I love it!" Thank always makes you feel good. Ebonee and I were really excited because for once we actually got to work together again. We dominated a chair for a while. While Ebonee was on tea, I got this girl with the curliest hair I have ever seen. Luckily, Margarita was there, and I was able to grab her and she worked her Margarita Magic and turned it into a beautiful fairy tale. There is no way I would have been able to do that.

No Language Barrier
I worked podium today, which is always fun. It was a little hectic, as always, but way better then dealing with parents. The only really cool highlight were these two little girls. They were two of our last five princesses so they were just hanging out in the boutique before it closed. One little girl's name was Penelope and she was from Quebec and didn't speak any English, only French. The other was this little girl from Illinois, but I can't remember her name. These two girls together were the cutest thing ever. They were about 6 years old and they had both gotten the fairy tale princess and they looked at each other pointed to their hair and both started giggling. They then ran over to their princess bags and comparing what was in each others' bags. Remember these girls don't speak the same language. It turned out that the Dad of the little girl from Illinois spoke French so Penelope's mom and him had a nice conversation. Then the little girl from Illinois just looked at Penelope and just "You're my friend! We're Princesses!" and then they both hugged each other and they skipped out of the boutique together. It was probably the cutest thing ever and it totally made my night.

Where Are You From Princess?....America
Today was a very lazy day. I didn't have to be at work until 1:15 so I got up around 10:30 and made some food for me to take to work. I chatted with Lindsay and Matt came over. They were getting things together for their audition on the 20th. I finally had to go to work.

THE BEST DAY EVER!!
Today was the best day! I was off work so Ebonee and I got up and went to Hollywood Studios. Matt called us and tried to get us to go to breakfast with him, but he gave us like 5 minutes to get ready so we passed. When we got to Hollywood the weather was nasty. It was raining and cold and just overall terrible. We saw Brian at the stroller rental place and had a good laugh at his expense because of his costume. When we walked further into the park we were greeted with an awesome surprise. This past weekend was ESPN the weekend. And who is sitting up there on a huge stage, but Misty May-Treanor and Shawn Johnson! I even got a picture and an autograph from Misty, but Shawn bolted out of there. OMG I was so excited! We ran into Alexis and Danielle and that was pretty fun. We walked more down the street and took some pictures with Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc. They are kind of awkward. Then Ebonee and I walked over to watch the High School Musical block party thing. We of course were dancing and laughing and then what do I know, but I get pulled out into the show! I eve got a star dazzle button and everything. YAY!!!
Ebonee and I then went on a quest to find food and ended up watching the Muppet’s 3-D show. IT was cute, but you can tell that it is really old. It was fun even though those glasses kind of make me dizzy. We then met Alex and grabbed some lunch at Pizza Planet. We finished eating and headed back to the ESPN stage only to find out Adam Vinatieri was coming and Alex is from Indy so she was freaking out. We tried to get his autograph when he left the stage but he was mobbed and said to go to Sports Zone. So of course we ran over there. We split up. Alex took the front while Ebonee and I went to the back. We met some interesting characters. One guy was dressed up as a elephant and the other guy a drum major. We chatted with them and took some pictures. I turned around after saying goodbye and there was Vinatieri! Ebonee called Alex and the next thing we see is Alex sprinting through people with a crazed look running through the crowd. When she finally got there she took the spot I had and was shaking so bad she was so excited. We took some pictures and then left. Alex was so excited.
We then met up with Brian after he got off work and we went and rode the tower of terror, which is always fun. Then we all went and meet Prince Caspian. Ebonee about died. The look on her face was priceless. He even got Brian to pose with him. We then left and went and played on the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area. Alex decided to go back to the apartment and Brian and I went to Light’s Motor Action while Ebonee watched High School Musical again.
Lights Motors Action is a stunt show that originated at Disneyland Paris. It was really cool. It is amazing that these guys can drive these cars so close and not hit each other or other things on the set. The whole thing is pretty awesome. We then went back to the sports zone. Brian hit some golf balls and I went into the batting cages. I was terrible. Brian even asked the guy to turn the speed down because I was used to softballs haha. Thanks Brian. Mom you would have been freaking out about the helmets haha. I could just hear you saying about how many people have worn them that day and that I am probably going to get lice – or should I day Pumba? After that embarrassment, we jumped on tower of terror again. When getting off I had shoved the batting cage bracelet in my pocket with my rings that I had taken off for the cages. Brian and I walked over to Sports Zone to find Ebonee. Then I realized that I had lost one of my rings. It must have fallen out of my pocket when I threw the wristband away. So I drag Brian back over to the Tower of Terror and we are searching the ground when a cast member asked if I was looking for a ring and I said yes and they had it!!! I got so lucky!
We finally found Ebonee and then we went to MK. They had new stuff at the Emporium that we wanted to look at. I found the sweatshirt that I want, but I had zero money on me so I will have to get it another time. Ebonee went to the art store and Brian and I went and said Hi to Brandon, who was working at the front. We saw some of spectro but then peaced out to go grab some food.
We ended up going to a Chinese Buffet. It was pretty much amazing. I felt like such a fat kid after leaving there. But not quite as much as Brian who had three plates!
To end the evening Brian and I and some of his roommates watched Slumdog Millionaire, which is a fantastic movie and I suggest that everyone should watch it. Except maybe mom because then I will for sure not be allowed to go to India. So that was pretty much the best day ever!!!
