Here's my overly long post about my trip in Disney World for those who care.

Yay!! We had such a great time in Disney!! Wow, it was a blast. I'm going to just start at the beginning...

The first day that we got there, we just hung out, went swimming and ate (lots of chocolate was eaten). I called my friend to see if we could meet in Downtown Disney (you know, even though she probably wouldn't care if I said her real name, I'm just going to call her TiggerBell). It was actually quite late, but I didn't really care. TiggerBell's parents got called into work that night, so she couldn't, but we made plans for the next morning. We were staying in a really cool hotel, called Pop Century. It's themed like all of the generations starting with the 60's and ending with 2000 (I think). Here's the pool that we swam in (I didn't take the picture):

Isn't it just cute and so Disney-ish?! Love it. And in some of the corners of the pool are flower-showers quirting water everywhere! Too, too cute.

The second day was kind of chaos. I got up in the morning, got dressed and stuff, and then head to Downtown Disney to meet TiggerBell. My Dad and I were the first ones ready, so we got to the bus stop first. When we got on the bus, we met these people from Canada. They didn't know that much about DownTown Disney, so my dad and I are just going on and on like their tour guides or something! Then another lady was asking us questions! It was just really funny. I think that I could get around Disney better than I could get around our own neighborhood. I've been going there for 13 years, so its not a big surprise. Anyway, we got to DownTown Disney. TiggerBell wasn't there, but Mom and Aly showed up right after our bus got there. We took some pictures and here's one of them

Aren't we just cute? This is in front of the year-round Christmas Shoppe in DownTown Disney. That's where TiggerBell and I decided we would meet. So, me, figuring that she would call when she got there, walked into another store. Just as I'm about to walk in the store, Mom says "Is that her?" I wasn't sure! I mean, I've seen pictures of her before, but it's different when you see someone in person. She had her mom and two sisters with her like she said she would, but I just wasn't sure. I was too chicken to walk up to her and say "Hey - are you TigerBell?" So, I just kind of stood there. The girl pulled out her cell phone, so I was like "Hopefully she'll call us!" And she did! And we had a grrrrrrrrreat time. It was so fun. We mostly just hung out in the World of Disney store... Here's a picture of our Mr. Potato Head that we made:

Ok, that sounds too cool for us! We didn't just 'hang out'. Nooo, we ran around the store taking wayyyy too many pictures and saying "Ohmigosh, look at how cuuuuuuuute this is!" and "-gasp- Ohmigosh, it's Joe Jonas! (ok, that was mostly me...)" and "AWwwwwww, Nina, look - its Tinkerbell (that was TiggerBell saying that one!)!" But we all had tons of fun. :D Plus, her family was really, really nice. Thanks for coming and meeting us TiggerBell!

After we met TiggerBell, we rushed back to the hotel room to get ready for the Halloween Party. Aly was a cat, Emily (my cousin) was a cat too (but that costume was itching her, so it soon came off) and Nick and I were just our awesome selves. After all, the youngest and the oldest cousins are always the cutest! :P Poor Nick wasn't feeling very well, so Auntie, Uncle Jose, Nana, Nick and Emmy stayed behind for a little bit. Aly and I were too worked up to stay behind, so our family just got on the bus. Magic Kingdom is just so pretty. It's the best word to describe it. Here's a picture of one of the Halloween decorations:

Aly went on Splash Mountain! :D And -surprise, surprise- it's one of her new favorite rides! Plus, she went on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It was a trip full of roller-coasters for her. I went on Space Mountain 5 times in a row. Whoo, that ride rocks. The front seat is the best.

I took lots of pictures of the Halloween Parade, but most of them didn't come out that well. :( If you're really that curious about the parade (which is the best one that I've ever seen in my life), go on YouTube and check it out. Here are all my pictures that came out ok:

Pooh's Float.

You have to have been on the Haunted Mansion ride to know who this guy (and dog) is! It's the Graveyard Groundskeeper and his dog!

A gravedigger. They are just so awesome, but a little scary for little kids (Emily got a lil' scared). Basically, they march in a perfect formation, do a little march-dance, bang their shovels on the ground and spin in a circle to make sparks go everywhere. They're probably one of the best parts of the parade!

Of course, the one charater that I have no idea who it is comes out the best. Life can be so unfair.

These guys are pretty cool too. They're the skull guy band!

That's about it everyone! Hope you enjoyed hearing all about my Disney trip. Peace, Love, DISNEY!

XoXo,

Nina

P.S. Here are just some random pictures that I took...

These guys were the waiters at a certain restaurant.

Cinderella's Castle!
