Drinking Around the World!!!!!!!!

Saturday was Dom's 21st Birthday and I was lucky to have the day off!!! We thought the best way to spend it was drinking round the world in Epcot. Sooo many people do it!! We started at Canada, where we had Ice Wine, very nice. Also had to try the Salmon from the food and wine!! yummy!! Next was the UK, we stayed here for a while and went to the beer tasting. We got Dom a half yard of beer, a whole 28oz!!!!!!! I had a Irish Cream and also had to try the Irish triffle, wow it was the best!!!!!!


Dom is the one in the blue T-shirt, we made him a mask!! Also in the Uk we went to see Winnie the Pooh and friends, love them. We also met Alice in wonder land and Mary Poppins.

After the Uk we headed to France, we had Grand Marier Orange Slushs!!! Strong!!! I went to see my room mate Bettina in Germany. I had rose champange from Italy,yummy yummy!! In China I brought a little fan, soo cute.

I went to see Nat and Di and work, they work in Merch in the UK.

Drinking round the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We continued on to Japan, where I brought a Umbrella and they wrote my name in Japanse on it. Sooo pretty. Then Norway was next had to try the hats, I didnt drink anything in here as I have enough by then!!!!! Last country was mexico and cos Dom and Jenna's house mates work there we got to seek on to the boat ride and have a whole boat to ourselves. The Margaritas are soooo good, that was my last drink!!!


This is the view across the lagoon at Epcot as the sun was going down, so pretty.
Me with my umbrella, think it is soo pretty with the sun in the background.

After Epcot we headed to Downtown Disney to Planet Hollywood. We had some cocktails, but I could only drink one!!! Such a lightweight!!!
They brought out a cake for Dom and we sang happy birthday, it was a really good day. But I was sooooo tired by the end!!!! Dom and Chris, Jenna and Di headed into Pleasure Island, but Vicki and I headed home, my bed was calling!! hehe

Bar Tender!!!!!!!

I am really enjoying working out here, everyday is different, meeting sooo many guests and finding out where they are from. They are all so interested about our home countries and how we get to out work out here. When we first start working, we are out on the podium or in the Chippie, we have to work towards being a Server or a Bar tender. We have to learn the menu and wine lists, then we have to take a test and spiel to our managers. If you pass we are offered one of these positions. Well I have been offered the Bar, I have been really lucky as two bar tenders left so they really needed people to replace them. There is so much to learn, but it will be worth as I will be able to get tips!!!!! Yippee!!!! cant wait, we are coming in to the busy season so I have brilliant opportunity earn lots of tips!! hehe. Also it is alot of fun behind the bar, we get out regulars would you believe come in. And you always get lots of Brits coming in to get there pints!!!!! I will miss watching the fireworks every night, they give me tingles everytime. But I am really happy and sooo pleased!!

So when you all come over make sure you come see me in the Rose and Crown Pub!!!!!!!!! I will pour you a good pint!!! hehe

Chillers

Wednesday night we went to Chillers which is in Church Street, Downtown Orlando. It was really cool place, had four different floors and then there is a roof terrace. Which is sooo cool with all the high rises of the city around you. There was loads of people there. There is a bar which sells $1 drinks!!!!!!!!! Each floor has different music, but the roof was the best. Weird being outside sooo late and it still being warm.

So many people!!!! There was these bike taxi's outside, really funny!!


View of the roof, it is pretty dark but there is sooooo many people! Had a really good night so different being away from Disney property. Posted by Picasa

JellyRolls

To continue Craigs last week we all headed to JellyRolls on Tuesday night. Love JellyRolls always chilled out there. Two guys play the pinao and we all sing along. Mike and I had these huge cocktails for $8, very good. We all had a good dance. Again it was a sad night as we requested Green Day again and we all went up on stage and sung to Craig!! I dont want to leave here or say goodbye to anyone.


Me with my cocktail, Jilly and James.

Lasses & Lads!!!!

On Monday night I went to UK Lasses, it was PJ night!! We had to wear our PJs to the appartment and then to Pleasure Island. It was a good night, felt really comfortable in my PJs. Hehe.It was also a sad night as we have to say goodbye to two peeps this week. They extended so thats why they didnt go home in September. I didnt really get to know them, but it makes you think about saying goodbye to peeps in a year!!!! So when we went to PI and meet up with the Lads in The Beach Club. When someone leaves we all stand in a big circle, and the peeps that are leaving stand in the middle, then the band sing Green Day "Had the time of your life", it was sooo sad!!!!

Ceri had to wear this funny PJ outfit, very funny!!!

Steph and Craig in the middle of the circle!!!

All the Uk peeps dancing, really had a good night!! Have meet some really nice peeps out here and hope I will stay friends with them. Posted by Picasa

Clearwater!!!

So on Sunday I had the day off, and decided to go to the beach!! It is starting to cool down out here, but still warm enough to go to the beach a soak up the sun. Strange the some peeps were off as well that came last time expect James. It was me, Di and Dom. The car we rented was amazing, sexy little red Chev. Really didnt want to give it back this morning.
The drive was good, getting used to the American highways and how the Americans cant drive!!!!!!!!! They are mad!!!!
We arrived at Clearwater pretty early which was nice cos it was quiet. I fell asleep on the beach and woke up to lovely sun shine. So nice to relax and soak up the sun, felt again really chilled out. Didnt want to come home.


Sexy red car!! so nice to drive, beach was lovely, really like Clearwater so peaceful.
After the beach we went to a little beach bar to have dinner, nice views of the beach. So cool!!!
I had mussels that were soooooo yummy!! then Di and I had chocolate cake, wow it was amazing!!

After dinner we went and sat back on the beach to watch the sun go down!!! I love the sunsets, so amazing. Different everytime. There were still lots of people on the beach, walking alone the shore. Just a different life over here. I would want it anyother way.



I love the beach and exploring Florida, I having the best time out here. This makes it all worth while. Posted by Picasa

The Grand Floridian!!!

On Tuesday I had the day off, in the morning I went to one of the Disney resorts with my room mates, Candice and Betina. We went to the Grand Floridian, is was sooo beautiful and relaxing. The resort is one of the top hotels on Disney property, I would love to stay there. It has its own private beach. The weather was lovely too, I fell asleep was sooo peaceful. On the beach there was hammocks you lay in, really felt you were on a desert Island. So nice to spend the morning there, good to top up the tan as well.


The beach was sooo pretty and it was quiet. Also you can see the wedding pavilon across the lagoon, such a lovely setting.



The pool areas were also good as well, really comfortable sun beds yet again I fell asleep. My aim this year to stay a night in every disney hotel. Posted by Picasa

Shopping and Dinner!!

On Sunday I had another day off, and as my room mate Candice has rented a car for the week she drove us to Mall at Millenia it has some amazing shops. I was in Heaven!!!!!! There is a shop called Forever 21 which is brilliant, like a Topshop but 10 times better.

Love my new hat!!hehe
In the evening we went to this resturant called Melting Pot, it was amazing!! You have four course of fondue. It was so cool cooking your own food. We had a cheese fondue to start with different breads and veggies to dip in. Then I had a strawberry salad. Then on to the (prawns, steak, chicken, pork) and veggies. We are soo many sauces that we dip. Then finally we had chocolate fondue, wow this was amazing we had brownies, cheesecake, fruit to dip. So amazing. We were so full after I could hardly move!!!!


Posted by Picasa Have to go back again. The resturant was so pretty too, really romantic.

Blizzard Beach

On Saturday I had the day off and to Blizzard Beach with James, Chris, Jenna and Vicki. It was a hot day so I topped up my tan!! We went on all the rides expect the big sumit plumit ride, I am a chicken and the line was too long!!!! will have to go on it next time!!!


Afterwards we headed to Epcot for a bit, we were going to go on Soarin but the Fast Passes had all gone!! So we went to inventions instead. We played "Where is the Fire" you run round this house shining your light on the walls hunting for the fires. You play against the other the team, lots of fun!! We then had a go on the Segways, which are sooo cool and sooo weird! It is all done by balance and the movement in your body. Everyone uses them around Epcot that work there. Really want to have a long so next time!!

We walked the UK to see some peeps and I spotted Winnie the Pooh so had to get a photo with them, I was so excited to see them.

Love Winnie the Pooh Posted by Picasa
