Downtown Disney and roommate fun!

Guys, if you're ever worried that I might get homesick, don't worry....I got adopted by a very lovely Lego family with an absurd number of dogs.

Anyway, my day started off pretty mellow...I woke up right at nine o' clock and couldn't go back to sleep, so I showered and got some breakfast while Bernice stayed in bed for a while. Another one of our roommates, Jordan, arrived at about two o'clock, so she got her stuff in and we all got ready to head to Downtown Disney for the rest of the day.

None of us had had any lunch that day, so as soon as we were in Downtown Disney we saw a churro cart and had to have one! Most of our time was spent moving from air-conditioned store to air-conditioned store; according to the weather report, it was about 94% humidity. Ugh.

Since everything in Florida is bigger, of course they would have the world's largest Disney store, featuring my most favorite character:

We met up with the rest of our roommates as the day went on, and just as almost all of us had gotten together, a massive storm started! We had managed to avoid the rain pretty well for most of the day, but this was nuts. I was the only one who had brought an umbrella, so we tried to stay huddled under it as we walked (which failed), and we ended up taking cover in a little restaurant for about ten minutes. There had been a huge Facebook meet-up planned for everyone checking in on the 8th, but with the storm we decided to just get food for ourselves. We braved the rain to walk to the T-Rex, a restaurant similar to the Rainforest Cafe (animatronic animals, themed decor, etc), except dinosaur/ prehistoric animals themed.

After that we wandered around a little more, then headed back to our hotel for the night. Check-in is tomorrow, which means getting into the apartment, settling in, and, most importantly, FINDING OUT WHERE I WORK!

See ya real soon!
