I woke up and felt adventurous (LOVE those days) so I took the B bus to the Grand Floridian
I've blogged about the GF before. It's one of the most expensive Disney resorts- if not THE most expensive. It's in the Magic Kingdom resort area... which tend to be really pricey as is. Monorails run from the Magic Kingdom to three resorts: the Contemporary, the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian (all 3 known for being high quality, high expense resorts). Unfortunately not every average family can afford an entire vacation at one of these resorts but they are really amazing. I've been able to explore them on various occasions during my trip and they're just astounding.
The Grand Floridian is my favorite. I love its theme, I love the lobby, the atmosphere. It's just so traditionally Disney.
Guests who are not staying at these resorts are not supposed to be at these resorts so it's kinda hush hush that I was there hehe.
I bought a few pins... I know, I've said before pins are a waste of money, but I got the new Merida one, a Hollywood Tower of Terror one and a Splash Mountain one. They're souvenirs.. and they're so cute.
I then laid by the pool. That was so relaxing. Florida sunshine, amazing resort, right next to Magic Kingdom. This is the life. Sara and Alex came along afterwards too and the three of us swam and sunbathed until I had to take the monorail to work.
Before going backstage, I got to see the new Casey Jr.'s Splash area in Fantasyland!! It's so cute. It's like this big train with (plastic) animals that squirt water. It's part of Storybook Circus and the new Fantasyland Expansion. It's so cool that I can see (at least the first phase of) the expansion open for the public! Making Disney World history!!
Some pics of the new part, and the regular Fantasyland just cause I love it:
^ place of employment.
I love Mickey's PhilarMagic. It's so underrated.
The new Fantasyland is going to be amazing! I already love Storybook Circus.
Have I mentioned how much I love Magic Kingdom.. especially Fantasyland?!
Work was absolutely amazing today! The Crystal Palace is such a happy place. I was bouncing around ("She's like Tigger!!") all night, and had so much fun with my coworkers and guests. Enthusiasm at the Magic Kingdom is highly contagious. We got to do some memorable magical moments and really make people's days. Today was like the epitome of a wonderful shift at Walt Disney World and I was proud to be a cast member!!
I worked 3-9 and I'm sad to say that was my last scheduled shift at the palace. I'm hoping I'll get to go back at some point- the costume is cute, the people are nice, everything is adorable. But I'm back at CRT tomorrow, back to my FanLand home. <3
