Well, here is a couple of more day by days of Disney World... the remaining days might be a bulk story... we were there for 12 days for goodness sakes. But will see...

Day Four

All right, we had visited Magical Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot, what more could there be? MGM Studios of course!
It was another beautiful day in Orlando, Florida and we were soaking it in… the sun screen that is. And we used it everyday too. We all hopped in our trusty rented van and were on our way to the last park in the Disney World Kingdom.
When we got there, the place was packed just like all the other places, but there seemed to be a lot more people towards the middle of the park when we got there. That’s because there was a show going on and not just any show, but High School Musical, one of Disney Channels original movies… wow, I have watched that channel too much. Anyway, we watched that for a little bit, and then went to another show, Beauty and the Beast! This was a fun show to watch. It was pretty much the entire story in 20 min. or so, and it was fun. After this we went to our first ride… The Tower Of Terror!
I think this was one of my favorite rides because it is nothing like you think it is. I remember seeing it advertised and I thought it just brought you up and dropped ya. But that is not all that it does! IT ALSO Dr…. ahh, I don’t want to spoil it for you. All I can say is it was a lot of fun!
Another ride that I like that we went on was Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Boy, that was a fun ride. There is a part in it that is so unexpected and I have the face to prove it... check out the picture. It was an awesome ride! Star Wars was fun too, but nothing unexpected or surprising, probably because it is the same in Disney Land, but it was still worth going on. We also went to the Indiana Jones show, yeah that’s right, you heard me correctly, SHOW. I was hoping for the ride, but they didn’t have it, just the show. But it was good and worth seeing.
Well, it was getting late and we were all pretty tired so we called it a night. Day Four completed.

Day Three

Eocot, a place I remember my dad telling me about since I was fourteen, when my parents took us kids to Disneyland. I remember him telling me how you can pretty much visit other countries, and there only blocks apart. So I had high expectations when I went, and they were pretty much met. They had all these different countries all over and to visit them all, and we did, we took this big loop that went around this huge man made lake, at least I think it was man made, and we visited Canada (wow I know, Canada), Japan, England, Mexico, Germany, China, and many others! I think the best part about it is they had a restaurant in each place, and we tried a couple of them. When we went to France, one I didn’t mention, I had a Chocolate Éclair… that is French for Chocolate … Éclair, and it was amazing. So if you think about it… I had a chocolate chocolate! We also had some Mexican food, which wasn’t that different from any Mexican Restaurant that I have been to, and my dad and I had Bratwurst and Sauerkraut from Germany, which was the high light of the day because it was awesome! And the cool thing about all these places, is the people that worked there spoke the language, and barley any English, but enough.
OK, the countries were cool, but they had some rides that were pretty cool also. Actually, the most intense ride that I went on was in this very park… and that ride was Mission Space. Holy cow, I am telling you, wow, no really… dang. It was basically a simulated space ride that takes you to mars. It was crazy, and I got to be the pilot. Me, Brian, Britton, and our dad went on the intense ride, while my mom and Melissa took the wimpy ride, less intense that is ;-). It was just cool. There were a couple of other rides, but nothing like Mission Space.
And that was day three in Orlando… yeah I know, only day three!

I just realized that I never finsihed my Disney World stories... ah... man... lame. But I will, but it will probably be a quck jump through instead of going day by day. So if your wondering why it shows two days and then... nothing, it is because I am lazy... yeah, that about sums it up. They will be posted... someday :-).

Wynken, Blyken and Nod... oh and Pooh and friends!

So I am sitting in the computer lab when I get this phone call... I look to see who it is and it is a phone number I do not recognize. Usually, I don't like to answer calls whose number I do no recognize... but this time, I did. And to my delight, it was my friends Kaelen Z. I say Kaelen Z because I am not 100% sure on how to spell her last name... come to think of it, I am not 100% sure on how to spell her first name... hmmm, well if you are reading this Kaelen and I have spelled your name wrong... I am sorry. Anyway, Kaelen starts to tell me that she is at Faith's house, another good friend, and they are reading a poem with my name in it and I should come to read my part. A little confused, I proceed with this question,

"What?"

Laughing on the other side, Kaelen realizes that I had no idea what she was talking about and starts the conversation all over whith,

"Hi, how are you doing?"

Which of course made me laugh and others in the background of Kaelen. To make this phone conversation short, they were reading poems and came across a name given to me by Faith, which is another story, and wanted me to read the part because they didn't feel right reading it as me... did that make any sense?

Well, I checked a couple of things on facebook and I was on my way to Faith's house. When I arrived at the house, Brandon (the other Brandon hence the nick name by Faith), Scott, whome I have given the name Ttocs (Scott spelled backwards... another story), Rachel, Kaelen ( the phone person), and of course Faith... because it is her house. These are all good friends that are part of the Theatre department, and we have a lot of fun together... at least I think so :-).

They handed me a book after I had a butterfinger offered by Faith, I like butterfingers, and I found out why they needed me. It was a story, I think, about three fishermen... Wynken, Blyken, and Nod. My nick name my Faith happens to be Nod and this poem is not the reason she gave me the nick name nor how she came up with it, that is another story. Anyway, Ttocs (playing Wynken), Brandon (playing Blyken), and me (playing Nod) began to read the poem... and you know what, it was a lot of fun! We actually stayed there quite a while and read other poems, some even in a Scottish accent :-). And we even read stories of Winnie the Pooh! Who would have thought that reading these stories with friends would be so exciting... and yes, we made them exciting!

After reading many poems and Pooh stories, we all got together and prayed! That was such a joy. It is great that friends can get together and have a great and silly time and then praise God for giving us that ability. If you guys are reading this, thanks for sharing that day with me... it is a day that will be a memory!
