lolz.
I just got back from Disney. My band marched in the Spectro Magic Parade this year which is one of Disney's biggest events and it was pretty damn cool, except I had to carry 20 inches of hell (2 cymbals) They're not bad when you start but they can get on your nerves, I got through it though. People around us seemed to cheer more for the drum line cadences instead of the actual song we played which seemed cooler for me.
At Disney though, we go to go to all the places in four days.
We started with Epcot which was pretty sweet I guess. I bought some stuff from Mexico there, some sun glasses, a Mr. potato head and some big Mickey Gloves too. Then I rode Epcot,that's where I got this picture:

It wasn't because I was afraid though, but to annoy the hell out of people around me. I scream like a girl going up the hill and when the ride hadn't even started, that was the best part. Later, right before we left, I got my picture with Pocahontas and before I left I asked her, "So, what's your number?" She answered by saying, "I don't have a phone." With a cute little accent, lol. I walked away telling her to call me when she got a phone, good times.
Later that day we went to Downtown Disney. Went to Disney quest, played some games and had a blast. After we were done eating at a restaurant though I decided to take a little nap next to the fountain and dozed off. When I woke up about 45 minutes later everyone around me was gone and had went shopping so I was freaking out and started trying to call people. Then I went to go shop a little but that made me late for the buses. I bought two shirts and one ended up being a girl shirt because I was hurried out of the store and I had to jog to the buses. That sucked big time.
Next day we went to MGM, had a blast there. Went on basically all the rides except for Rock'n Roller Coaster since it was down.. that sucked. Then later my friend and I hooked up with his girl friend and her friend, well she's our friend too but w/e. Then we watched some awesome light/firework show which was waaayyy worth it. It's something I'll remember for a long time.
Finally, last day. We were at the Magic Kingdom.. I'm not gonna lie, I was sort of in a pissy mood. I just wanted to hang out with a certain girl that day but we ended up dragging another guy along and I never really got a chance to talk t her so I experienced some major emotion of anger and jealousy which lead to some depression later there.. But that didn't matter, I got over it fast enough. I decided it was pointless to mope over and that it just didn't matter and wouldn't work out so whatever. After I got over it I enjoyed myself a lot more, we rode Pirates, the Haunted Mansion and basically everything. I screamed like an idiot on all the rides, except it's a Small World where I sang along.
On it's a small world, I got into it with one of the staff there jokingly. He at first wouldn't let us on as a joke and then my friend asked him how tall he was. He told her that he was 6'7, he was I wouldn't doubt either. Then I walked up and told him I was 7'2, and he's like, "I'd believe you, but I don't trust lawyers." (I was wearing my shirt that says Trust Me I'm a Lawyer) We went at it for awhile and it was pretty funny. Some other guy actually asked me if I was a lawyer. Just another experience where I look older then I actually am.
At the end of the day we marched the parade. It was a great experience performing there and I'm gonna remember it. Once in a life time.
