It's A Fine Process

The deal is: I can let up to 3 people into the parks for 6 days for free. BUT, I can't wear my "costume" when I let them in, I have to be present at the gate, get my fingerprint scanned, I need my I.D., my cast member I.D., and this special card that I got in the mail with my name on it. Then, and only then, can everyone get their park hopper tickets for the day - which they have to sign in front of the person at the gate. I was working for 4 of those days, so my family had to time their resort bus ride correctly to meet me out front while I'm wearing a random outfit at a specific time because I am taking half of my lunch break to do this. It became an art.

Sometimes, the manatees were not cooperative and would not go into the back pool for me to clean the front. I would have to bump back the meeting time by a half hour and hope that everyone hadn't caught the bus yet. When they would get there earlier than me, they entertained themselves by taking pictures while waiting.

Our first day was spent at Magic Kingdom because it was one of my days off. Since my mom made Eric and I pose for a million pictures, we made my parents pose for their fare share too.

Near the end of the day we went to EPCOT because I like the fireworks show the best and we could only see one during the vacation. My brother and my dad make the rest of us look really short.

Day 2 and 3 don't have many pictures because I was working, but I set up everyone with FREE AquaTours. It's one of The Seas' guest programs where you get to snorkel up in the main environment and stalk marine life from the surface. Eric tried to follow one of the turtles - they are 500 pounds - and it swam under a dock...and he was stuck on the surface in his inflated jacket...smart turtle. They did spend a full day at EPCOT looking around the World Showcase and taking pictures of good architecture replicas. My dad had a fantastic stop in Norway.

That's a great picture to end on, so more to come later.
