Merry Christmas to All... and a Happy New Year

Hey All

I have to admit that I did not think I would get this behind in my posts but I have. I have decided to focus this this post on my family visit, Christmas and New Years Eve.

The week before Christmas my mom, dad and sister came to see me. It was amazing to get to see tham and all though I did not get to spend Christmas day with them I did get to spend a wonderful Disney Christmas with them.

I took them to see all four park Christmas trees as well as the Christmas celebrations. We went to Epcot and saw the Christmas part of the fireworks which for me was fun because I had not seen them yet. The next day I took them to my favourite thing for the holidays which was the Osbourne Family Christmas lights at Hollywood studios. If you have ever seen a house lit up in lights that flashes to music then picture that but the whole back lot of Hollywood studios. It quickly became my mom's favourite as well. We went and saw the Jingle Jungle parade with Zac and Alison at Animal Kingdom. On a side note we also went to see The Lion King show and Zac was picked to be the elephant (he was trying to get him to pick me and it backfired). We also had tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party which I had already gone to once. It was so cool for my family to see the parade and ride the rides and see the castle lit up with so many wonderful lights. The free cookies and hot chocolate was also very cool.  We of course saw Fantasimic also since it is mine and my moms favourite show.

We sayed at Pop centuy which was super cool and I found out that people actually decorate their windows and doors. One room had a banner asking people to take a candy cane and write where they were from. My mom and sister wrote on the door. We also decided to do the sit down restaurant dining plan. It was so cool because we went to Le Cellier where my wonderful friend Laura S served us. She was deffently one of the best servers we had. We also ate at Prime Time CafĂ©, Si Fi diner, Planet Hollywood and Rose and Crown.  We did Disney Quest on their last day where we had so much fun. Mom and I even built and rode our own roller coaster.

During the middle of the week we went to Universal and my sister saw the Wizarding world which is what she had really wanted to see there. We went on the Hulk and other roller coasters and my sister got me on the dragon Challenge. We saw it all dressed up for Christmas and even got to see a play version of The Grinch which was beyond amazing.

It was so sad to see them go but I know it won't be very long till I am back home.

Christmas eve Santa came to my apartment leaving wonderful goodies for me and my roommates.
Then Christmas day I headed off to a short day of work and met some amazing people from all over the world although my favourites were the Canadians.

New Years Eve was a whole different form of crazy I am not used to. I worked from 2 till 130 in the morning mostly selling glow. It was so nice of our managers because myself, Kailei and Alex were selling glow at IG (in between UK and France) so they let us join our fellow Canadians for the fireworks. The firework were unbelievable and if I were you I would search them up on YouTube.

My roommate Sunny from China also told me that in china when the New Year rings in you want to be with the one you love so that you can start the year with them which I thought was a cool piece of trivia.


For more magic ... stay posted
