Magic Kingdom

Tonight we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was still a little busy, but begining this week it will slow down a lot. This past week, the resort I'm working at was 75% occupied, but they said next week it drops down to 35%! So if you ever want to come to Disney I would suggest you come in September.

This evening we walked around the park, went on Splash Mountain, saw Mickey's Philarmagic, saw the stage show, and some other small stuff. It was nice to be able to relax im the park.

"Hollywood"

Dick Van Dyke, Roger Rabbit, Steve Martin, and Minnie Mouse

Saturday Night at the Studios

Tonight, after work, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios (formally known as Disney's MGM Studios). First, we ate at one of our favorite places...Pizza Planet (from Toy Story). Then we walked off our supper around the park. We saw some famous foot prints in front of the Great Movie Ride and then went to a couple of attractions.

Pictured above is Brandon eating at Pizza Planet, a green alien from Pizza Planet, one of our favorite attractions, The Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror, taken tonight, as well as our photo from the ride a couple weeks ago.

Typical Night At Home

Lately, our favorite thing to do is just eat at home and watch "The Office." If you've never seen it, I suggest that you begin right now...the season premiere is in September and you won't want to miss it. Pictured above are some of our home cooked meals...so that you know we are eating well and we're not living off Taco Bell (which, you may be surprised to know that we haven't eaten at a Taco Bell since Spearfish).

Also, Brandon got his second costume for his work location. I have to say it looks a lot better than his other one, but I'm not so sure about his pose.

Florida Wildlife- Golf Course

Walt Disney World Golf

Today we went to Disney's Magnolia Golf Course. It's part of the PGA Tour, which is kinda cool. It was sooo fancy! First, they load up your golf bag for you and go park the cart out back. Then each cart has towels, tees, GPS system, and a cooler. They also give you a mini Sharpie marker and a divot repair tool as souvineers. Brandon golfed with a guy from Miniapolis, who was very nice. My favorite part was the snack lady...she had hot dogs, pop, sandwiches, chips, cookies, and more! She was a life saver!! Oh yeah, and we got to see our first wild alligator...just a small one, but still cool.

Our Work Locations

Today was our first day at our actual work locations. Brandon is at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and I am at Disney's Saratoga Springs Vacation Club Resort. Obviously our costumes are themed, which go along with the resorts. Brandon says his resort reminds him a lot like the Black Hills, which is nice. My resort is themed off of the Saratoga Springs in New York back in the early 1900's.

Pictured above are our wonderful costumes...go ahead and laugh...we know we look goofy.

More Mini Golf Pictures

Miniature Golf

Today we went to Downtown Disney to eat lunch because Brandon was done early. We decided to eat at the Rainforest Cafe, which was really cool. It "rains" and at certain times it even "thunderstorms." The food was good, too. Then we decided to look around a bit at the stores.

After that, we went to Fantasia Gardens Minature Golf Course. It was pretty cool, but some of the holes were a lot harder than we're used to. Also, there were tons of little lizards (more than what I'm used to seeing here! In the end, though, I won by one point. At the end we both got free golf balls with Stitch on them, which was pretty cool.

Mickeyroni

Brandon had the day off today, which he rather enjoyed doing various things-including a visit to the outlet mall. I had my first day of training, which was actually a lot of fun. We even got to eat at a cast-only cafeteria in the Magic Kingdom.

For supper tonight we enjoyed a gourmet meal of Mickeyroni...lol.

More pictures from this evening

This last photo is of a baby frog that Brandon found...it's about the size of my fingernail...crazy!
