Wednesday
  • I waited for Dallas to get out of class and needless to say, time went by so slow sitting there waiting.
  • He walked out and my heart grew 10x bigger seeing his smile. Facetime really doesn't do it justice.
Thursday
  • Guys and Dolls was fantastic! The lighting, staging, dancing. Everything. Not to mention that is was sooooo beautiful. I’m a light freak so I totally enjoyed seeing all the different varieties of colors and choices that went into the show.
  • The dancing!! I loved seeing so many guys on the stage jumping, leaping, and singing. It was so amazing.
Friday
  • To the girl who got Dallas and I free tickets to universal, YOU'RE AMAZING! Although we didn’t get to spend much time in the park because of the 4 hour drive, we definitely enjoying what we did have! There was so much to see and as a huge Harry Potter fan, being able to walk through the walls and see Diagon Alley and the giant dragon was definitely a highlight. Not to mention the workers who, once again, came through with front of the line tickets! Not only did we not have to wait in line for the main HP ride, y’all were so happy and made the experience wonderful!
  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS!!!
  • Butterbeer. Still freaking fantastic!
  • Spider-Man ride. Amazing.
  • Other Harry Potter ride. My childhood is complete.
Saturday
  • Headed to Epcot for Dallas' birthday.
  • Stood in line with children to ride Frozen. It was amazing. Of course. We sang Let it Go along with 20 of people in our boat.
  • We ate at Chefs de France and enjoying some incredible Lobster Bisque and Crete brûlée.
  • Decided to walk around the world and came to Japan. Dallas wanted me to pick an oyster to expose an 8 mm green tinted pearl. The largest one seen leave the park was 9mm. What can I say? I know how to pick them!
  • Took photos with Jasmine. Life complete.
  • Headed to Magic Kingdom by boat.
  • Fangirled over seeing the castle!
  • Headed out to ride Thunder mountain and space mountain with our fast passes.
  • Decided to ride little mermaid, which should’ve only been about a 20 min wait and ended up being over an hour because it broken down. We had screaming children in front of us, climbing all of over thing and the parents just letting it happen. Needless to say, it was miserable.
  • Headed over to the castle to stake out a place for the projection show.
  • Started to sprinkle. Then full on rain but we stuck it out.
  • The show was amazing and totally worth the wait.
Sunday
  • Headed to animal kingdom for our fast passes to Expedition Everest. We checked out the wait time for Flight of Passage in Pandora and at park opening it was already over 3 hours!
  • Decided to ride the Expedition Everest for a second time because there was no wait.
  • Started walking to Pandora, coming to terms with the fact that we’re going to be waiting to ride it.
  • 10:20 am. Dallas starts talking to a vendor worker saying how long the wait is and how it sucks that half the day will be going to this.
  • Vendor says that there’s a little secret that not many people know. Fast passes drop around 10:30 for that particular ride and to check the app to see if they do it that day.
  • Leave it to Dallas to get free things like our last trip! Read about that here!
  • Traded a pin with her
  • 10:30 am. Open the app.
  • THERE ARE FAST PASSES FOR FLIGHT!!!!
  • Head over to Pandora and wait for about 30 mins and walk right into the ride.
  • THIS RIDE WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! It was soooooooo amazing!!!!
  • Decide to eat the cool new food they offer and try to pretty drinks in Pandora then head over to Hollywood Studios.
  • Met up with my bestie Kendra, who works in Hollywood Studios!
  • She told us all about her park and showed us fun things and where she works.
  • Dallas and her headed over to ride the Rockin' Rollercoaster while I walked around with my camera being a happy little bird.
  • Once it started getting dark, Dallas and I headed into our Dessert Party reservations.
  • We both received a plate of yummy sweets and a margarita and got the best seats to watch Fantasia
  • One of my all time favorite Disney shows. Ever. (Last time we tried watching it at Disneyland, we waited over an hour just for it to be cancelled.)
  • Kendra joined us with her popcorn and drink.
  • Sat back and enjoyed the show and the last night we were at Disney World
Monday
  • Met up with Kendra to visit the Cast Connections store for some insanely discounted Disney items.
  • Grabbed a quick lunch at Chik Fil A and said our goodbyes
  • Headed the 4 hours back to Tallahassee
The next few days were just hanging out and spending as much time together as we could between class and rehearsals. I always hate leaving, but this time around, I knew it was only going to be about a month until I got to see my honey again. This trip was one for the books and I'm already to go back to see my baby and spend more time with him at Universal and Disney World.
