mesmerized by hollywood

another perfect day was had here at disney world. i slept in again, til about eleven and then just did nothing all morning. although, me and two of my roommates coincidentally had breakfast at the same time, and we sat down together at our table and ate like a family - something i miss very much at home. eating together with my family is a tradition that i always overlooked what were cherishable moments, and is something that i won't take advantage of again. eating as a family, sharing stories, talking about each others days, plans, dreams, needs and wants (which my family always says i have too much of) is a blessing in itself; it's another reminder of how fortunate i am to have the perfect family i have. i also never thought i would appreciate our kitchen table as much as i do now. it's things in our house like the kitchen table, the couch in the tv room, the bar, our beds, and the furniture in our gallery where my family and friends sit and chat for ages, creating special moments without even knowing it, and that's what makes it our home. i miss my home, and all the love and laughter (and occasional arguing and yelling) that comes with it.

after lazying around for a couple hours, i went to hollywood studios. there was so much there that i didn't even know existed! it was incredible! i was with a couple of friends and i just had a smile on my face for the whole day, once again. they were talking about how the magic has kind of disappeared for them since working here, but the magic continues to grow for me, and i continue to be mesmerized every single day. we went to the pixar animation studios, where we met up with woody and buzz, where woody did a little break dancing and buzz did the robot. after that we went to watch the indiana jones movie filming which was insanely cool. i felt like i was watching a movie, but it was real life. i still can't even fully comprehend everything that i saw. i don't know how it was possible for them to do some of the stuff they did. after that, we went and got pictures with mike and sully from monsters inc. there we had the most awkward group hug but i was so thrilled to meet them. afterwards, we went to watch the beauty and the beast show. now since beauty and the beast is one of my favourite disney movies, i was completely in awe the whole time. the music and the singing and the real life characters were all incredible. it was so emontionally connecting and it was magnificent how they summed up beauty and the beast into a twenty minute show. it was spectacular. after that we went to the animation place where a bunch of different characters were at their stations, meeting and greeting guests, signing autographs and taking pictures, including belle in her blue dress! i was so excited, i felt like a little kid. when it was finally my turn, i gave her my autograph book to sign, even though i got her signature when i went with eri to see the princesses, but this time, she made it so special, she wrote "love belle" on it, drew a rose, and gave it a kiss! i was head over heels. after that, we went to take a picture with captain hook, but he had to go, so we waited in line for sorcerer mickey. pooh was nearby but i decided that since i have at least five different pictures with him, i'd save him for last, but by the time we were finished, he was gone too. we then went to see a little show about animation and how they choose characters and draw them and whatnot, and that was really interesting, and very funny at the same time. last but not least, we went to rock n roller coaster, which is the first roller coaster i ever did when i came up here in january. i hadn't done it since so i was excited. but as per usual, when we were waiting in line, i was extremely nervous but it was so thrilling. it was amazing. my throat's now a little scratchy from screaming, since this time i kept my eyes open the whole time so i saw everything. 

i just couldn't believe hollywood studios was all that it was. there's still more i have left to do, but i will get it all done in time. today was just another regular, fantastic, magical, exciting day. this really isn't getting old yet..
