SOOO I've been a WAY behind on my weekly blog posts, so I'm going to combine week 8 and 9! Work and school have been kicking my butt with Spring Break and everything going on. Time seems to just fly by! I can't believe it's April already! Sunday, I had work in the morning since I could trade for off :( but it was okay because my parents relaxed by the pool. That day at work I was assigned to be a greeter, which isn't a typical role at Gasperilla's. They had some VIP convention guests and they wanted someone who was friendly and had a great smile to welcome all of the guests and to show them where they needed to go. I was thrilled to have this job! After the VIP guests left, I was at the coffee station. When I got back from work, I showered and my dad picked me up. I took a quick nap at the hotel and then we went to the Polynesian Resort to meet up with Marcela and Marisol (family friends from Sarasota). Since we were at the Polynesian, we HAD to get Dole Whip! :) Next, we went to the Grand Floridan and I showed them around. I had made dinner reservations at the Grand Floridan Cafe. The steak there was AMAZING 10/10 would recommend! After we ate dinner, we watched Wishes from the Gasperilla outside tables. I hadn't seen Wishes in a couple of weeks, so it was good to see. After that, we said goodbye to Marisol and went back to the hotel. I passed out since I had been up and running around since 4:30! Saturday I had work from 6:30 to 1:30PM. While I was waiting for Zachary to get to the Grand Floridian, Kelson made me a specialty sandwich! It was so good! I sat outside, by the dock, with a view of the castle. Then, Zach and I went to Magic Kingdom. We bought t-shirts, walked around, and took cute/awkward pictures! Monday, my dad had to leave early in the morning to catch his flight back to work. My mom, Marcela, and I had breakfast at the pool and then we went to Disney Springs. We walked around the shops and then had gourmet french fries for lunch! Then I said goodbye to both my mom and Marcela. After they left, I went to get my passport photo's taken for my study abroad program and relaxed after a busy weekend. Tuesday I had work from 3:15 to 11:00. Wednesday I had my hospitality class from 8:30 to 12:30 and work from 2:30 to 10:00. I basically had time to change and a quick bite of food before I had to leave for work. Thursday, I had my HR class from 8:30 to 12:30 and work from 4:30 to 11:30. I took a nap in-between! Friday I had off. I went to the parks with Zachary and Kelly. We started off in Hollywood Studios. We ate, rode Star Tours, Tower of Terror, and watched the Frozen Sing-A-Long. Then we went to Magic Kingdom and watched Wishes. Sunday, I had work from 1:30 to 11:00, so I just slept and went to work! Monday, Sammie and I both had off, so we decided to go to Disney Springs to eat lunch. It so happens that Brittany Spears was eating at Planet Hollywood. The wait was apparently an hour, so we chose to eat our main entree at Cookes Irish Pub. We both had the burger. Then we went to Planet Hollywood for the milkshakes!! OMG they were so good! Unfortunately we did not see Brittany Spears. :( After we ate, I met Zachary at Magic Kingdom. We met Cinderella and Tiana and walked around before Zach had work. I had fast passes for a couple of rides, but it was sprinkling and I didn't want to ride them in the rain. I went home and Sammie and I watched the last episode of the Bachelor. Wednesday and Thursday I had class from 8:30 to 12:30 and then work from 4:00 to 11:30. So I obviously didn't do too much those days. I think I just watched some Netflix and took a nap haha. Then, I was lazy for the rest of the week. Friday I had work from 3:00 to 11:00 and Saturday I had work from 2:15 to 11:00. Saturday, Sammie, Hannah and one of Sammie's coworkers went to Buffalo Wild Wings for food and a couple of drinks. We forgot to order small beers (normal glasses), so they brought out tall beers!! Not wha I wanted. Then Sammie and I left our leftover food on the table :(. I blame the tall beers! That is all for the first two weeks of March... Get ready, because the next couple of week are packed full of events!!

Sunday, I went to work and I was expo. Today was the Oscars, so Neicy was awarded a chocolate Oscar for all her hard work! She even let us try it! After work I decided that I was too tired to do anything. I needed sleep. Monday, I had a shift at beaches, but I decided I needed a personal day off because working 9 days in a row was killing me. I went to Universal with Manae, Molly, Maggie, and Michelle. We rode the Mummy, 2 Harry Potter rides, ate at the Leaky Caldron, and tried Every Flavor Jelly Beans. The only gross one I had was soap! Tuesday, I was driving to work and realized that I had a flat tire. I only had 40 minutes to get to work and I was freaking out! I called my parents and almost started to cry. I have never been late to work! I had a friend drive me to work (thanks Valerie!!) and made it to work on time. The whole shift one of my managers kept asking if I was okay. I always said I was fine. Then finally she said "Danielle, what's going on?" I said "I'm a little stressed because I had a flat tire this morning and I had to rush to work." I didn't really realize how much it shook me up! I had to take the bus home and luckily I had friends to talk to. When I got back to my apartment I called State Farm and they came to put my spare tire on my car. Wednesday, I had my hospitality class from 8:30 to 12:30. Since my car had the spare, I decided to walk to class. Then I had work from 3:30 to 11:30. I was running so I got lots of steps in! Thursday, I had traded my afternoon shift for a morning shift... not realizing that I had my HR class Thursday mornings. So I had to skip my class to work. At work I was assigned to work as an outdoor greeter. We had some VIP's in the area, so they assigned me to smile, wave, and be friendly to everyone who walked by. It was a very challenging role :) After work I met up with Hannah and Sammie at EPCOT. It was the flower and garden festival! It was so beautiful. The flowers were so bright and made EPCOT even better. After EPCOT, MY PARENTS CAME!! We drove to the Marriott hotel (which is the largest in the world!) It was huge! Friday, we woke up early and went to Walt Disney World! They hadn't been since the last time I visited Disney(I was probably 5 or 6 years old). We went to EPCOT first. We road Spaceship Earth and walked on. Then we walked around the flower and garden festival, which they both loved. Next, we met Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy and my parents love it! We walked around the world and ate a couple of great meals from France, Marcocoo and Mexico. The last thing we did in EPCOT was Soarin', and my parents said it was the best part of EPCOT! After we left EPCOT, we went to Animal Kingdom. We walked through all the animal galleries. Then we had our private safari at 5PM. The safari was great and well worth it! We saw lots of great animals. We walked over 20000 steps! What a great day! Saturday, my dad golfed at the hotel, which my mom and I were out by the pool. Then, we ate lunch at Sanaa at the Animal Kingdom lodge. We saw even more animals while we dined! The food was South African with a hint of Indian. It was very good! Afterwards, my dad and I got my car fixed. Later, we went to dinner show called Hoop Dee Doo at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. It was fabulous! Both the show and the food was great.
