Mid-February Shenanigans

Hi Everyone! I apologize for being silent for awhile. Life is going full steam ahead here in Orlando, and lots of things are happening! Here are some cool things I got to do after Preview Weekend.

The day after Preview Weekend, some of the interns and I went to see the Broadway Show Aladdin. We got to see the original Genie actor, Michael J Scott, and he was so, so good. It was an exciting way to end a full weekend.

After a comp day on Monday, the interns had our community dinner at a local campground. We didn’t camp, but had a barbeque and campfire, around which we shared the highs and lows we experienced at Preview Weekend.

Our apartment also hosted Galentine’s on Friday. Jennifer made dinner, Keren decorated our apartment, and I made dessert. We had a great time. Here are some pictures:

The next day, I woke up before 6AM to go to Hollywoods Studios to try to ride the new Star Wars ride, Rise of the Resistance. Because the ride is so popular, people have to get into an online queue before they can physically get in line. To get in the online queue, you have to be at Disney, select your group of friends in the app, and click “Join Boarding Group.” All of this must be done the moment the park opens that day, because everyone in the park is trying to do the exact same thing! So you need a fast phone and extremely good service (and fast fingers too, I guess). Thankfully, we got boarding group 46 out of 56, so we got to ride the ride. I can’t imagine coming to Disney World on vacation, but not get a boarding group for the new ride. Look at all the crazy people who got to the park super early (and yes, I was one of them).

Then it was Jennifer’s birthday! She had a full day of celebrations: breakfast with me and Keren in the morning, church, and then tacos and hanging out at a bar in the evening. We even got Jeremiah’s Ice cream at 10pm at night, which is way past her bedtime (it’s 9:30pm normally). Keren and I played pool at the bar, and we had a great time.

It was a packed week! More highlights coming soon :)
