Fist Welcome Event & DTD

Thursday, June 19

Today I had work from 12:00pm-6:00pm. I was runner/stocker the whole time. It was nice to leave work and it still be daylight outside! After work, I got a chance to talk to my sister Kaitlin who was graduating from High School in a couple of hours. Congratulations, Kaitlin!

Congratulations Kaitlin! 

When I got home I started to get ready for the first welcome event for the Fall Advantage program. All of my roommates had off, so we all planned on going together. My roommate Kats lifelong friend, Christina, also went with us. The theme for the welcome event was "Off to Neverland" and it took place right down the street from our apartment in Chatham.

When we first got there we waited in line for pizza and then found a table to sit at. After eating, we decided to wait in line for the characters. You either got the opportunity to meet Captain Hook and Mr. Smee or Peter Pan and Wendy. The line was super long! We were about two parties away from meeting the characters and it was Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, so I was kinda disappointed because I wanted to meet Peter Pan and Wendy! But then, Peter Pan and Wendy came running in and we got to take our picture with them!

After meeting Peter Pan and Wendy, Kat, Christina, and I decided to go to Downtown Disney. We did some shopping and I traded two of my Vinylmations at Pin Traders. We were also hungry, so we at at Earl of Sandwhich. I got my usual which is the Hawaiian BBQ. Kat ordered the summer salad, which looked really good! Once we were done eating all of the shops were closing down for the night. 

We started heading back to the West Side to get drinks at Splitsville. I bought the souvenir bottle there which was $12 with my cast member discount. If I bring the bottle back for refills it will be $10 plus my discount. Me and Kat both ordered the Pina Colada...we give it a 4.5 out of 10 rating. Christina is under 21, so she was nice and was our DD. Christina's brother, Jeff, then met up with us, who is also a Cast Member. We are planning on going back to bowl!

Tonight was the best night since I have been here.
