Wednesday afternoon Vinny &  & went to EPCOT. We went in the ball (Spaceship Earth)  & made record time through the World Showcase. I guess Zaira saw us, but I missed her. We took the Monorail to TTC & then a boat to MK. It was like a movie (a boat ride w/music in the dark). Could I be an more of a sap?? It's Disney, I love it! Vinny got to meet Sarah at work, then we did Take Flight & the People Mover & Space Mountain. We went on the Skyway during the Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks. Seriously - is that a perfect date moment or what?!? One of my all time favorite park moments. And... Wow - how much of this is extinct now!?! 😦

After MK closed, we went to Old Town in Kissimmee. It was neat. It was a street (no cars) with tourist shops, palm readers, Christmas & pet stores. At the end there are carnival rides and a DJ plays music outside. We saw the end of a band & a magician. I met one of his friends & Vinny told him he was moving to Oregon to be with me. WOW! Um, Vinny.... did you get lost on your way out west??

I was hungry, so Vinny took me to Checkers. It's a 50's looking drive-through, but we ate at a table outside. I remember the fries being covered in pepper. After that, Vinny took me home.

Thursday I actually had to work. Germane is working for me on Friday - yeah - a day off. Vinny came & picked me up. 😊 Oh boy - here we go, our first of many trips to.... We went to McDonald's (screwed up my order) & window shopped at the Disney store. That's hilarious - window shopping at The Disney Store when we work IN Walt Disney World!

PI was nothing great - Danielle almost got in 2 fights (embarrassing!). Friday Marcy & I went to the Marketplace with Vinny to do a lot of shopping. Then, Vinny & I met Marcy, Sarah, Danielle & her latest guy to see "Bean". The 10pm show sold out, so we caught the 10:30pm show. Why did I document this. Is it really worth remembering 23 years later that we saw a show 30 minutes later??

Oh my gosh - I totally remember this - prepare for nausea. It was incredibly cute - Vinny almost fell asleep on me during "Bean." When the 2 of us left, some celebrity was walking by, but we didn't know who it was. Was this Gloria Estefan? Or was that a different time. I'm not sure at the moment.

Saturday after work, Vinny hopped the gate & visited me. How sweet! (Sweet since he didn't get caught and I did get fired!) He was here until 1:45am. Sounds so late, but clearly we didn't have normal waking hours during this internship and at Vista Way. He got to meet Zaira and Hector. He's finally starting to act normal - well I guess relaxed - around my roommates. And this ending part is censored. Sorry readers.

Next time... you guessed it... more Ronda & Vinny out on the town in Kissimmee! Livin' the dream.
