I'm in Florida!

I packed the last of my stuff yesterday morning, said goodbye to some of my siblings and dogs, and I left with my parents at around 9:00 AM. I teared up a little saying goodbye but I wasn't as emotional as I thought I would be. We then drove for the duration of the day until stopping to spend the night in Georgia.

This morning we got up bright and early and began driving again for about three hours until we reached Orlando. We then drove to the resort we're staying at where we met my sister, Heather since she flew in from Virginia the night before. We're staying at the Parc Soleil Suites by Hilton Grand Vacations. This place is the nicest resort I have ever stayed at. I'll probably post pictures of it later just to look back on later. After spending an hour or so getting situated at the resort, we went to return my sister's rental car to Orlando International (she drove here from Tampa and was told she could return it there).

Ridiculousness ensued. 

The rental car return signs at the airport didn't have a sign for the company that my sister rented from and it was crazy busy, so it was hard to do anything quickly. We asked five different people within 30 minutes where to go and they all said to go to the second level of the garage. We asked one woman how to get up to the second level since the garage was huge and confusing and couldn't figure it out. She said to turn right at a stop sign and "loop around." Since her directions were completely ambiguous, we ended up driving away from the airport and all around the interstate because we never saw a stop sign and the loop we thought she was talking about went around the airport and out of it. Forty minutes and eight toll booths later, we managed to get back to the airport and finally find the second level of the car return garage. But when we got up there, an employee told us the rental company my sister needed had relocated. We asked FIVE different employees and they couldn't have told us that? It was crazy.

We quickly found the new location and returned the car within two minutes. The employees told us that tons of people are misinformed on where the company is all the time. We then went to Downtown Disney and tried to have some fun despite the chaos we had just gone through. We were starving so we decided to go to Fulton's Crab House because I had heard a lot of really good things about it, and I thought it was really good! The cast members were super nice and they made me all the more excited to work here! I loved the costumes the waiters wore. I tried a fish taco as an appetizer and had the roasted chicken and tomato pasta for an entree. 

Both were really good!

We then headed over to World of Disney and walked around for a while. The place is overwhelmingly huge! My favorite part was the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique because I loved seeing all of the little princesses getting makeovers! After WOD, my sister and I split up from my parents and watched a guy on stage dance to a bunch of different songs while the crowd danced along. I loved it! I kept sending my sister at home videos of it saying things like "I'd like to see people do this where you work." Then my dad called me and said he wanted to go back to the resort since it was cold and raining.

Tomorrow we're going to the Magic Kingdom and I can't wait! It'll be nice to go back to the one park that made me realize I needed to work here. I'm hoping that it makes me more excited about doing the program since I'm still not feeling very great about my family leaving without me. I feel like I"m on vacation and it's so weird to think I'm not going to leave. 

On Sunday we're going toe Hollywood Studios and Epcot, and then I check in on Monday! Honestly, I still feel like this is a dream. 

I'll update you then!
