Main Street, U.S.A

Here ye, here ye. Or in todays rap music: Ay bay bay. Regardless, remember me? I had an awesome giveaway live on the blog last week and here I am, a week later, well rested (actually scratch that, I need a mental health day from life), and stressed with the amount of shenanigans I have to put up with in the next 12+ hours. My post is going to be NOWHERE as awesome as Erin's, but I'll try I promise. So while everyone on the east coast was dealing with freezing weather, I was soaking up the sun with Minnie and my homie, Belle.

Unfortunately Mr. Camera decided to either play a solid game of hide and seek (come out already..), or else a angry ogre stole my camera. Good luck with that one considerings it's endless Disney pictures AND MY FACE.

The best:
Park: Hollywood Studios (We went on Monday according to our App)
Show: Beauty and the Beast, clearly / Laugh Room / The Great Movie Ride
Food: The Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches
Meal in general: Wolfgang Puck (@ Downtown Disney)
Temperature: 86* (why don't I live in Florida?)
Fastpass: Helped beat the crowds A CRAP TON. If you stay at any main Disney Resort, you get to have access to FastPass up to weeks before your arrival!

The worst:
Park with crowds: Magic Kingdom, of course.
Park in general (personal opinion): Animal Kingdom (Never liked it as a kid)
Ride/Attraction: A Bugs Life. As a kid, I went to that show and felt things at my toes and a pinch in my back. I also hateeee insects so this show has never done it for me. I left screaming, just like I did when I was 5.
Food: @ Hotel (we stayed off Disney Property)
Airline: SOUTHWEST. Despite free bags which is great because I pack too much for even a day away from my closet. But the fact you have to standby and check in to reserve your number. Like excuse me let me leave my important meeting because it's 24 hours before my flight and I need to make sure I get a seat. Also my staff was rude. So BYEBYE. Clearly, I left pissed and never wanting to fly them again - but let's be real I probably will.

Misc/Advice:
-Although it may be cheaper to stay off property, you might not want to. We lost a ton of time at the parks because our hotel's bus schedule was the opposite of convienient. I promise you staying on site is much better.

-Every year I go to Universal, not Disney because the fast pass system (If you stay at their hotels you get fast pass for EVERY ride). Disney finally got this system going, but it's frustrating to have to wait in the long line then plan your day out because of the wait times. I was only there for a long weekend so I had a day at each park....didn't get to ride the best stuff (i.e Toy Story Mania) because of wait times!!!!)

-I didn't get the Disney Experience App, however I did get the Disney WaitTimes App. Still not sure how accurate it truly was but it had a 'crowd forecast' to tell us which days to avoid what park and I'm pretty sure it helped me out in the end!

-GET CREPES IN PARIS. GET MANY. And send them to me via mail. Or just come over.

November, I want you

It's what you think. I've been in love with november for quite a while. Errrrr okay so like two months but basically I'm in love. It's real and true, I swear.

Whyyyyyyyyyy should november be so good to me? I swear we are a match made in heaven for the first time. Normally I loathe any month after it starts getting under 60 degrees (read: October), and I hibernate until flowers are rebirthed and I find my first spider to scream at. Ahhhhh, spring. Think of me as Sandy from spongebob in her bubble of a house (as if that ever made sense though...). Also I hate spongebob, but this year I finally am excited for fall.

I want to experience the whole she-bang. Non-hibernation, livin' life, and all. NYC before the snow, crankin' up those christmas tunes until I finally find new music, black friday JK going to orlando, and choose not to sit inside falling asleep at the same hours of newborn babies and live a little.

November? You're lookin' pretty good.

In just a week from Thursday, I will be leavin' on a jet plane, and entering the land of the O-H-I-O. Flight lands at 10PM, then what? You asked for it. I AM MEETING ASHLEIGH AND RACHEL. They are driving an hour to meet me for a night. It just goes to show you that sometimes you have a greater connection with blog-land friends than friends you've known for a while. Heck, friends I've had since 'nam wouldn't drive an hour to visit me at my college or if they were for whatever reason near me. Blogger, you've been great in my life.

Granted, I can only see them for so long. But I think we are all excited to discuss blogging, endless picture sesh, and anything else a blog date includes. Food? Let's hope food. Or wine. Or basically anything that you find on a #ThirstyThurs. 'Nuff said. See ya soon, gal pals (Insert endless smileys and winky faces here).

Friday the 8th comes and boom. Off to Canada I go for one of my best guy friends frat formal. Way to excited considering I haven't seen him since April 2012. Note: He is paying for everything. I must admit, I'm a lucky one....No phone, huh? Off the charts/record type thing. No insta's, no tweets about how I love canada and wearing reveling clothing and feeling legal and ready to parrrrtay. Let's do this.

So like, what's school?
A few weeks later I am off to my annual thanksgiving trip to Universal with the fam. We go almost every year, except I didn't last year, and it stunk. We have a ritual where we always check out Margaritaville and get the mile high stomach ache giver nachos. Nothing makes me happier, except when I'm by the bathroom for the rest of the night....There have been happier times.

back when I was a fetus aka three years ago

With last year aside, November is a good friend. I met my best friend two November's ago, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Without further adieu (or however the eff you spell/pronounce it...)....thanksgiving stuffing, warm weather, drinking legally, blogger meet ups, and nearing the end of the semester, November, are you ready to be mine?

Xo,
Yours truly.
