Last night was the formal dance for the college program kids. Lindsay, Becca, Victoria and I went together, but first we went to Epcot forpictures. I think we took at least 200 of them. Here are a few from my camera, I will try to steal some more of them later. Anyway, it was a fabulous evening with lots of silliness. We got so much attention in the parks, in fact one child pointed at us saying "Cinderella, Cinderella!" It was a good way to spend one of our last days here.

This is how the little girls look when they see the princesses. I thought it was a good impression.

Trying on hats at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

Lagrima! That is "tear" in portugese, which Patricia tried to teach us. I can now say tear, ketchup, fried potato, and cold.

Jen and I went to Downtown Disney today to try on princess dresses. She was Pocahontas, I was Alice.

This didn't really work.








My hideous cowboy uniform that I have to wear to the Fort.




We rode the tomorrowland express thing that goes through the rides, and Space Mountain had broken down and we got to see what it looked like with the lights on. Pretty thrilling. I whipped out my camera to take a picture, but the second I turned it on the lights went back out.

Our lovely apartment. Sorry Claire, no one likes your clown.

Yes, our apartment looks like a restaurant, the kind where they hang up all the kids' "art work."

This is actually a good story. In Hollywood Studios you can take a short class on how to draw a Disney character. One of the animators came up to me and asked me if I was a castmember. Keep in mind that I am wearing perfectly normal clothes. Anyway, he said he could tell I worked for Disney because of all the "pixie dust" around me. I guess that is Disney flirtation. Anyway, he came back ten minutes later with this drawing of Pluto for me. Oh man, my roommates wouldn't stop making fun of me for days. "Pixie dust" indeed.

This is another favorite of mine. A crazy Harry and Ron and a Jasmine that we thought was a little seductive looking for a child's coloring book. Except now she has green skin. Click on the picture for a bigger image.

Our Easter table.



I have no idea.

Ahoy there! Yes, I haven't had a chance to post in a while. But here are some pictures from the Eslinger family's visit. Much fun was to be had.

Here we are in "Morocco." This is one of my favorite spots in Disney World. You can smell orange blossoms and the mosaics are beautiful. When Disney was building this spot in Epcot, the king of Morocco actually sent some representatives over to make sure it was authentic. However, it is slightly less realistic feeling when Aladin and Jasmine are signing autographs for kids right around the corner.

We found Nemo.

"We can fly, we can fly, we can fly!"

We met Snow White in Germany. There was a little girl in front of us in line who was so adorably excited to meet her. We on the other hand, felt a little foolish.


Having a tigger moment.


Having a beach picnic.

We were appropriately terrified of the Tower of Terror.





Ole.


I like ending with a castle shot.
