Be...Our... Guest...

       Today I tried to bang out some bucket list items. My original idea was to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour in the morning, then go to Be Our Guest Restauraunt at Magic Kingdom, buy myself a balloon (because I'm a child), then make my own tee- shirt at Design a Tee at Downtown Disney. While I did get a few bucket list items done I will admit that plan shriveled. Nobody really wanted to cough up the cash to get a tour of the place we get paid to be everyday, so Keys to the Kingdom was unfortunately put on hold. Be Our Guest however was not.
       My friend Enaliz (who works MK Custodial with me) went to Be Our Guest at 12.30, waited about 15 minutes to get in for Quick Service Lunch, and were able to eat a lot quicker then we thought. We ate in the ballroom, I really wanted to eat in the West Wing but it was unfortunately packed. It's gorgeous in there. I came home and watched Beauty and the Beast twice in a row (that was actually an accident caused by laziness on my part) just to relive the beauty captured in this restauraunt. I definitely want to take my family for lunch when they come here, its amazing.
       Afterward we walked around Tomorrowland, intent upon riding Space Mountain, but we were unfortunately halted by its two hour wait. We instead rode the PeopleMover, playing spot the custodian, before indulging in some hardcore tenth degree shopping. I ended up buying myself a Dooney and Bourke Disney Sketch backpack, as I just love to spend so much money on myself.  I also bought myself a gorgeous scarf featuring The Little Mermaid. So the void in my life that can only be filled by belongings is stuffed for now.
        I headed home from Magic Kingdom with my friend Anthony around 4.30 because today was Makayla's eleventh birthday!! I got to Facetime my family who are actually on their vacation at the moment in New Hampshire and wish Makayla a happy birthday and watch her unwrap some of the presents I bought her (which my mum was kind enough to wrap and bring to New Hampshire with them). I feel bad because this is the second year in a row that I have been in Florida on her birthday. Hopefully I'll get to make that up to her when she comes down in a few short weeks!
         So bucket list items down:
                 -Went to Be Our Guest
                 -Bought myself a Dooney and Bourke bag
                 -And I actually got to grab a pork shank from Gaston's Tavern the other day while I         was on  my break.
        Also I may need to cross out the silly idea of buying myself a balloon. While it seems fun, they're actually about ten dollars each, and though the happiness it might bring me is great, I'd rather not throw ten dollars away on a puff of air. But Design a Tee is still on the list as is the Keys to the Kingdom tour. I'll see about doing something tomorrow. I have tomorrow off and as of yet haven't made any plans. I figure I'll just stumble into something fun. Or sleep. Sleep is fun.
