Dear Readers,
I am sorry for not posting for so long! Life is quite hectic! My friend is getting married next month and I was busy planning the bridal shower. The bridal shower was a complete success! The other brides maids are wonderful! they helped so much, but I still had a lot to do!
These next two weeks are going to be rough. Finals are approaching rapidly so I do not think I will post for the next few weeks but I will be on over the summer
Stay golden!

Kilimanjaro Safari
Animal Kingdom is the most beautiful park in Walt Disney World. It is full of plants, and animals, and is home of one of Disney's most famous roller coasters, Expedition Everest. It includes attractions such as Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safari, and It's tough to be a bug.
Today I will be focusing on Kilimanjaro Safari, one of my personal favorite rides at Walt Disney World. Kilimanjaro Safari is a "two week" (20 minute) journey through Africa. Riders enter a vehicle that looks like a jeep for 50 people. The ride goes through real wild life preserves where one can look at tropical birds, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and my personal favorite, lions. (Don't worry, the lions can not come anywhere near the vehicle.)
Somewhere in the middle of the adventure, a message requesting help comes on the radio, and the course changes. The passengers go from being on a pleasure cruise to crossing "shaky bridges" and "saving elephants from poachers." At the end, the passengers get to see a baby elephant, animatronic that they saved from the poachers.
This ride is wonderful for children and adults.

Donald Duck
Thanks to Lou Mongello, I just found out that March 14, 1935 was the first time Donald Duck was seen in a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Donald Duck is arguably the best classic Disney Character. His hot temper has made many people, including myself, laugh. Some May argue, he is the best duck in showbiz.
The 1944 animated movie, The Three Caballeros features Donald Suck and two bird friends that he met after her received a surprising (to say the least) birthday gift. He travels the world, and along the way meets, Panchito, and Jose. The film is full of fun music, and vibrant colors.
Donald's middle name is "Fauntleroy" after the sailor uniform he wears. Though he is not the most chipper of all Disney Characters, he has won his way into the heart of this blogger.

Middle of the Semester
It is the middle of the semester, and I know I haven't been posting every week. Even though no body is reading this, I still feel an obligation to keep this up to date.
Going to school full time with no electives is no fun. I am trying to keep all my online things up to date but between 15 page papers, mid-terms, Selling books on amazon, pinterest, facebook, twitter, tumblr, and this blog, my days are pretty full. I need to keep working hard, and stay motivated. If I stop, I will like the feeling of laziness too much to pick up and start again.
Every time I get frustrated, and want to stop, I think about what I want to do with my life. I think about how soon I will be living in Orlando and working at the happiest place on earth. Disney is a huge part of my life. It has been for a long time.
I have been to Disney World, eight times; Disney land, two times; California Adventure, once; and I have been on one Disney cruise. My parents are Disney focused travel agents, so I have had wonderful opportunities, and I am so blessed to have been involved with Disney.
I plan on focusing my blog more on the Disney lifestyle, and information on the parks than just my life, but I thought I would give a little background information.

On My Way
College is hard. It really is. I keep wishing that it would be over soon. I tell myself, just three more semesters and I can move to Florida. The homework is hard. There are bags under my eyes. I have developed an addiction to coffee. The teachers are tough, and the nights are long. Social life has to take the back seat, sometimes. It isn't all bad, though.
Honestly, College has helped me more than I can explain. The hard work is just a small part of it. I have learned so much in my classes. More than I learned in High School. I just want to encourage anyone out there who is having a tough time in school to just keep pushing through because great things are bound to happen! All the hard work will be worth it in the end, and even though you may feel stuck now, things will get better.
In the words of Tiana, "'Fairytales can come true
You gotta make 'em happen, it all depends on you'
So I work real hard each and every day
Now things for sure are going my way
Just doing what I do
Look out boys, I'm coming through
And I'm almost there"
Have a magical week!

Tower of Terror
If you are a fan of the Twilight Zone, like me, you will probably love the Tower of Terror! Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a thrill ride where you drop 13 stories!
I am such a wimp! I do not like roller coasters or spinny rides, and I am afraid of heights, however, I LOVE ToT! The queue line begins in a creepy courtyard that is usually kept cool using eerie mist. Upon entering the hotel, the riders are shuffled into a room where a man who sounds like the narrator for the Twilight Zone explains the story on how the hotel became haunted. He dares the riders to enter "if you dare" the basement where thy are loaded onto a 'service elevator'.
The elevator goes up, up, up until it can go up no further, then it begins to move forward. The windows open, and the elevator bounces and drops a few times. You do not realize how high you go until the windows open! It is a thrilling ride that I could ride over and over!
I would not recommend small children, or anyone who is afraid of heights to ride this ride, but if you are willing, you won't regret it! In my opinion it is one of the best rides at Disney World's Hollywood Studios, and Disney land!

Once upon a time...
There was a girl. Who loved Disney. Okay, I am that girl. I am an absolute Disney fanatic! My first time I went to Disney land was when I was six years old. I remember going on Splash Mountain with my aunt over, and over. I remember staying at the Castle hotel, and watching the Mulan parade. I continiue my love for Disney as I grew older. I wrote many reports about Walt Disney in School. I have done two presentations about Disney in my first year of college.
I have been to Disney World 8 times, Disney Land 2 times, and I have been on one Disney Cruise. I LOVE DISNEY! This is why I want to be a tour guide at Disney World, as soon as I get out of college. I have one year left, then I am off to Disney World. That is why I named my Blog "Destination Disney." I will blog every week until I get to Disney World (or at least I will try to). So I am very excited to start this.
See ya next week.
