Its been a While
Ok so we got here(to florida) last Saturday night bout 10 at night i think. We do the usual unpack a bit go to bed in hopes of the trailer coming sunday morning and unpackin the rest of our MILLIONS of things then....well alas it did not show up until sunday night so we unpack and do whatever we needed and we finally finish moving.....tuesday afternoon.
May 20th 2011----We decided we wanted to go to some parks before we start the CP and since this was the day of the opening of the newly enhanced Star Tours our first stop was DHS. 70 min wait for Toy story mania which was to be expected then it said a 75 minute wait for Star Tours...it was not 75 minutes maybe more like 30-40. After that a little car ride over to the magic kingdom and hit up a few rides there which is where i discovered a Ride Counter for a ipad. This thing is from www.wdwmagic.com and it counts the amount of times you have ridden most rides in the WDW parks, even has the monorails and ferry boats in there. Since we have not been here long my most rode attractions are Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain both at 2. New thing on my bucket list is to go on Haunted Manison 100 times while i am here. Speaking of the Bucket list 2 things.
1. I will be officially starting that and the character list on Monday or whenever i get my blue main gate pass
2. One more addition will be to find EVERY hidden mickey on property well at least the ones in my Ipad app which is 828 different ones. This app is based off of Steve M. Barrett's Hidden Mickey books and have a list of all the current Hidden mickeys and has an easy to use system to keep track of ones you found, i personally recommend this app to anyone who even has an interest in Hidden Mickeys, oo it is Ipod based so it looks a little blurry on ipads but dont matter still awesome.
Some Muppet Vinyls updates got up to 6 or 7 on series 2 and still lookin for chaser for series 1 also got my first Star Wars series Vinyl Lando so gonna start working on those
Well for right now this is it i wanted to use this post to get back into the bloggin swing of things so i can start doing it often i will have my next post up monday after we check in at Casting and i will be posting some pictures and videos soon so keep checking back.

Day 17 of 30
Favorite Restaurant?
Liberty Tree Tavern
This used to be a character meal not sure if it is right now but it is still my favorite meal next to say T-rex and possibly Garden Grill. Also Beach club has a great character meal and of course chef mickeys but i dont really eat breakfast so chef mickeys is my once a year breakfast haha. I really wish Disney would add some more restaurants in inventive places like a Muppets or Pixar restaurant, have the characters there that would be cool. When i become an Imagineer or creative Director of a park i will add them in.
OK food LTT(liberty tree tavern) has a thanksgiving style meal with mashed potatoes turkey beef anything ya want IT IS AMAZING.

Day 12 of 30
Favorite Hollywood Studios Attraction?
Well ok now you see here lies a problem...I have 2......
First Toy Story Midway Mania!
I love Competition to be honest so naturally the ride where you score points to beach the slouch sitting next to you would obviously be at the top of my list. So actually i cant find the picture but i have had the top score of the hour on this ride....once. One my bucket list it says score 300000 but to tell u the truth i want 500000. no no its not impossible its just improbable which for me means it just takes time. And also i want to have the top of the month too just because it would be AWESOME.
Now for #2
Muppet Vision 3D
Now i know some of you are think hey this attraction is old...its boring and it just is plain bad......WELL YOUR WRONG. This is the Muppets thats why i love it not cause its scary or cause of any other reason its the Muppets and its the only reason i need. The muppets are a dying breed and disney needs to bring them back in any way they can, they are starting with a new Muppet movie coming out in the next few years. The Muppets need more of a presence in the parks though(along with star wars), they are just simply too amazing to let go in my opinion

Day 11 of 30
Favorite Hollywood Studios area?
Pixar Place
I have to say Pixar Place. This was a very hard decision and i think the reason i picked this area is cause it not only houses one of my favorite rides in all of WDW, but i think because of the potential for the area. I mean monsters inc coaster incredibles things and much much more.
O today i went to the disney presentation on my campus it was really cool got to meet all the campus reps and the recruiter now i know some of you might be thinking why would he go if he already has been accepted. I understand your point but i think be this small it is a good networking tool to START your DCP.
On a side note got pokemon Black yesterday already have 2 badges and a pokedex of 21 nice haha.
