I worked my picked up shift today from 9:45 to 2:30, so I only got a 15 minute break, but my day was short and I was off early, which was super nice. And best of all, I didn’t have to close, so yay for not closing.
I got a fast pass for 1 something at Jungle Cruise and I went to MK after work. The Jungle Cruise is funny, I’ll give it that. So. many. puns. Honestly. I don’t know how the people doing it constantly could manage. It’s funny for awhile, but I would probably die. And there was a boat covering, but it would still be deathly hot to work out there all day.
Then I went to Sleepy Hollow and got the fresh fruit and nutella waffle, and it was a delight. Truly. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. And then I stood on the covered porch/entryway of the Diamond Horseshoe and watched the 3 o’clock parade, which, shockingly, starts at 3 o’clock. One of the ladies working greeter at the restaurant said that even though she watched the parade almost every day it didn’t ever get old, and I can see how that would be true.
It had nearly everyone in it - Anna, Elsa, Tiana, Rapunzel (and Flynn and some ruffians on swinging things high up in the air, which was a little bit scary to watch), Ariel (who looks amazing btw), Belle and Beast, the 3 fairy godmothers from Sleeping Beauty and Phillip (and the fairy godmothers are on some sort of wheeled thing, like a car, but it’s their skirt - it looked scary to ride, but they seemed to have no issues), Peter and Wendy, Alice and Hatter, Snow White, the 7 dwarves, Pinocchio, Mickey and crew, and I think more - it’s crazy and magical and the music is good and the non-princess cast members who are dancing in the parade wear crazy elaborate and beautiful costumes and it makes me think of Sienna, because I feel like she would maybe have fun being in parades like that.
I also went on the Liberty Belle, and it was a nice slow ride down the river and the narration was funny, but there were not really any seats, and by the end all I really wanted to do was sit down.
I also went into the Hall of Presidents, and, embarrassingly enough, it made me cry. History makes me cry. And it makes me think about Humanities. And it made me stressed about the upcoming election, because I don’t qualify for an absentee ballot or early by-mail voting, and I probably will end up not voting at all, which isn’t really what I want.
I wandered through Pecos Bill’s and the Smuckers food/merch outpost shop thing. And I bought a pair of Marie earrings that I really love.
Then I went home and did homework and folded my laundry (but did I put it away? I did not, because I am, in fact, a mess).
