Park Hopping

I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that I can go to any of the parks for free. Luckily, one or more of my friends will have the same day off as I do every week, and if not we just go to a park after work. I bring a change of clothes and off we go.

There was one day that all interns had off so a bunch of us went to EPCOT and Magic Kingdom to navigate through strollers, ride some rides, and take pictures with various characters just for fun. It's so weird to not feel rushed. If we don't see something, we can just come back later.

Random FYI - I get mildly creeped out when I see a Disney character who is not in a full out costume (they don't have something over their heads). It's definitely a quirk of mine. I tend to observe them from a distance because I don't want to talk, just take the picture. Which is why Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc are so awesome. Hugs = OK, weird conversation = uncomfortable. There are mostly photos of us with actual people characters. Kaite made me do it.

Chip and Dale (from a day earlier in the week).

It's kind of difficult to find these two together, so right after one of our training days Kaite and I spotted them and had to stand in line out of principle. Disregard my Disney approved shoes and socks (all white, covering the ankle).

Mulan.

She was very nice and actually treated us like adults. She asked us how our day was going - thank you for recognizing my age Mulan.

Snow White.

She was exactly the opposite of Mulan. Pure Disney all the way through. As soon as she finished staring at her dress and twirling (weird?) she noticed that we were next in line. She looks at me, bats her eyes, and asks if I'm the fairest in my land. Without missing a beat but wanting desperately to run away, I reply "absolutely".

Eric and Ariel.

These two are a rare find together. I'm going to start by saying that they looked a lot less creepy in person. When I posted this on Facebook, the comments were hilarious. They are as follows:

Amy: Homewrecker!

Terry: Seriously creepy smiles on those two...

Kaleo: You would. Love splitter upper.

Tim: They are plotting on how they will kill you and then escape from Disney jail haha.

Justin (my favorite): Remember when that bitch abandoned her family just so SHE could be happy with some random ass cute guy she never met? Seriously...where are her values?!
