This morning started out just like any other. I woke up, got ready and went to work. I had 8 checkouts on the first and third floors. Kevin another housekeeper in the college program suggested signing up for an early release. I had never bothered to put my name on the list cause I never thought I'd get one!
I went to one room that was a checkout, did it and just as I was finishing the houseperson came and found me and said you got an ADO (Authorized Day Off) so I put my metro back in the linen room and then got to leave. All the other CPs got it too probably cause they have to pay full-time people but not us.
So I left about 9:30, and despite being tired I headed to Hollywood Studios. I got a FastPass to keep for Toy Story Midway Mania and then I rode it since it was only a 40 minute wait so it wasn't bad. Then I rode Star Tours. Rockin Roller Coaster was only a 20 minute wait so I went to the single rider line and waited maybe five minutes. Tower of Terror was only 20 minutes so I wait for that. Finally I ended with The Great Movie Ride.
Magic Kingdom was next. I got a FastPass to keep for Splash Mountain. Then I got a spot in Frontierland for the Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade. I got a text from my friend from back home, Gail inviting me to dinner with them, I really hadnt seen them much since they had been here and I wanted to. The parade started Cinderella's stepmother stopped to see if I was suitable enough to marry one of her daughters and while I was getting a picture of Mary Poppins, Tweedle Dee put his head on my shoulder and freaked me out. As soon as the parade was done I cut through the archway to Adventureland, across the bridge by the Crystal Palace and through the Emporium to Main Street and caught the whole parade a second time. Next I got a FastPass to keep for Jungle Cruise. Then I decided to checkout Tom Sawyer Island because I had never been there before. My friend Gail texted me while I was over there and she wanted to meet up. So, I told them where I was and she said okay we haven't done that yet so they headed over.
As soon as they got on the island it started to rain and they told us we had to leave. We ducked into a gift shop as we waited for the rain to stop. We decided to head to the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor since they hadn't done it yet and since Gail's husband Joe had never done it. We headed out after that and met up with Gail's daughter and son in- law, Kendra and Josh and we headed over to the Polynesian because we were going to be eating at Ohana, which I've heard is amazing!
We got to Poly and had some time so we walked around he second floor because I was the only one who had been here before. We got seated and the food was amazing! I don't want to ruin how they do the dinner but they bring you endless food. All of us couldn't move by the end of the meal. It was one of the best dinners I've had since I've been here. Not only was the food amazing, but we laughed so much and had a fantastic time. People around us probably thought we were nuts.
After dinner we shopped on the first floor. Kendra and Josh ended up buying this really cool looking fiberglass stingray to put in there new house. After that we rode the monorail to the Grand Floridian and walked around there but all the shops were closed so we headed back, said our goodbyes and I went back to the apartment and crashed! I hope I get to give them a proper goodbye before they leave on Sunday, especially because its Kendra's birthday on Saturday.
