Things are coming to a close

I only have a few more weeks left of my internship, and will be going back to Michigan soon. My summer classes start May 14th, but my last day here is May 18th. I think I will be leaving the 15th though because we don't get scheduled our last two days in Florida so we can move our things out and get everything organized and ready to go. Some exciting things are planned for the last week I am in Florida though. May 2nd, there will be a cinco de Mayo fiesta at our apartment complex with yummy mexican food, meet and greet with characters, and games. May 7th is the day for College Program participants formal. This year, however, Disney is renting out Typhoon Lagoon and putting on a beach party for us. It should be a good time :) On May 10th, a service celebration is planned for us for all of our hard work this semester. Sonny's bbq will be catering the event and Mickey and Minnie will be there! Later that night, Goofy's Mystery Tour will be at Hollywood studios. 250 teams of 4 people will be bungee corded together and finding clues on a scavenger hunt. I really wanted to do it, but it got filled up quickly so I will be volunteering for the event instead. May 15th is our graduation. We get a certificate and mickey ears with our name on the back of the hat. I can't wait to get it! My mom came to visit me last week-end. She came in around 11pm, and it was perfect timing since I got out of work at 11pm. I picked her up from Coronado Springs and we drove over to All-Star Movies and dropped our stuff off in the hotel room. Then we took a walk at the resort and went over to the music resort as well. We woke up early the next morning and over the next 2 days, we went to all 4 parks, met Meg, the winner of Design Star at Epcot, got caught in a hail/torrential rain storm, and stuffed ourselves silly with so much good food. We had lunch for the first time at Les Chefs de France in Epcot.

It was one of the best meals I've ever had. Then, we went to property control and I got Joey a pirate costume complete with dreads for Halloween and Tyler a darth vader outfit. That night, we had dinner at Kona Cafe and got soooo much food we were sick! It was so delicious though and Ratana was such a good server :) Treated us like princesses. She left early Sunday morning and I had to be to work at 8, so it worked out perfectly. That night, I picked up a shift at Fantasmic. This was my outfit.

It went by so fast. Our pre-meal was a mickey bar and pop, and then we worked during the show, then cleaned up and went home. It was a good 4 hour shift. On Wednesday, me, Caren, Joben and Linnette went to Typhoon Lagoon. It's free right now for cast members, and we went on all the rides and the wave pool. Later, Joben, Caren, Courtni, Courtney, and myself went to the Hoop-de-Doo Review at Camp Wilderness. There was sooo much good food: Fried chicken, ribs, baked beans, salad, cornbread, strawberry shortcake, corn, mac n cheese, and sangria to drink. We were stuffed!!! I just found out today that I will be deployed to Chef Mickey's May 6th-12th. It should be an interesting experience since it's a huge buffet that seats about 400 more people than Kona does. I'll be sure to write about my experience as it happens.
