4th of July update

Oh hi there,

 Yesterday was a funny day, after it being so busy traffic wise, just assumed everywhere would be busy, but DAK was not. We had around 23K in the park, which is quite low. Then it rained so I think it got even less. People must have gone elsewhere to see fireworks and stuff.
 So I was on a close, just doing nothing until 8:15, then Amy and I met Hannah and Nicola, then went to Epcot to meet the girls from work. Who had gone in for the American look big time. We had little flags and tattoos, it was quite fun. Epcot was busy! We could see bits of the Hollywood Studios fireworks, then Celebrations of Earth (the normal fireworks) came on, then after the American celebration, wow it was amazing!!! Probably the best fireworks I've ever seen, but what else would you expect.
 I was expecting more Americans to be dressed up, and the national anthem to be played, but there wasn't as much patriotism as I predicted.

Coming back was another story all together, so the bus queue for the CPs was HUGE! We were queueing as us Brits do and we watched this guy and his friends try and push in, well by this point, me and Hannah have been at work all day, its 11pm and we are just not having this.
 So Nicola was like 'Excuse me, you are not pushing in front, theres a massive queue' and this guy was like, 'Im with them' pointing at these girls who had been trying to push in the whole time, and the other guy was like 'I was smoking' - as if we'd be like 'oh okay, thats fine if you were smoking'. So we were just not having it, and then they were all like 'we are all cast members, we should all be happy etc' we were like yes we all are, but we have manners. They were like 'You should learn some manners' urgh how rude. So they sarcastically let us in front of them, to try and make a point, but the point was WE WERE RIGHT! We had already waited for 3 buses to fill up and leave, we were not not getting on another one. Turns out they also got on our bus, but that wasn't the point. Then standard ultra gay guy when we were getting off was like 'have a great night girls' we were like 'THANKS YOU TOO'. Idiots.

 Today I'm doing a close again, then I might go shopping before the 4th of July sales end. Im looking forward to Angel coming next week, though I think I'm going to be working 6 out of 7 days hes here. Ive tried to give away or swap shifts, thats the rubbish thing about Nemo, theres not that many staff, so if you're trying to ditch a shift, its more difficult. I am also doing a lot of closes, so will try and get ER's to go earlier.

 Im also starting to look at flights for afterwards. I feel like theres so much to do, and so little time. Need to go to Miami, Universal, a Dinner show, more of the resorts, do the parks more. Argh the list goes on and on!!
I forgot to mention that yesterday at work there was a pot luck so loads of food, really American food! It was sooooo good! Like macaroni cheese, BBQ sausage, apple pie, corn dip, I didn't even know what half of it was! So it was a good day at work!
