Oh hi there,
So we left Mexico, we were two hours delayed but standard nobody told us, there was no announcement about the gate change or anything but anyway we made it! Then we went back in time so it was only about 6:30 when we landed. Got through security / immigration fine, despite one of them asking for another ID from me, I deffo look like my passport. We also didn't get fined for having massive amounts of luggage on the 15 kg limit!!
So we arrived in the hotel, and we're. Checking in and Nicola was like 'do you know that girl?' haha it was Emily running over, so that worked out well. We then basically started drinking, we were supposed to be set up with VIP, free drinks, queue jump however the guy was friends with the Mexican, the Mexican has broken his foot so he wasn't there. So we had to queue for ages and then missed the free drinks so that was annoying but we managed to get boys to buy us many drinks because obviously we don't pay for drinks.
Then Emily was so drunk she was sick , so Kirsty took her back, she nearly was sick in the taxi!! What a clip, but good effort considering she was majorly jet lagged!
So obviously Nicola and I stayed and played, we met a group of cool Australians. We then went into the casino and saw this guy win $4000 on the slot machines he then got a suite but we left! So that was fun, got in at 6am. Got up at 9:30 to get mcdonalads breakfast!! Emily has stayed in bed allllll day, well Kirsty went to a class to learn how to gamble and Emily went but left 3 times to be sick! Whilst Nicola and I went for a stroll up the strip, watched the fountains, died in the heat and spent a fortune in Ross's! And now we are by the pool at the Excalibur because our pool is gettin maintenance done and in about an hour we are going to stuff our faces at a buffet woo!
Shawana flys in tonight so we will be going out again! Wooo!! Xxxx

I'm in Acapulco bitch
Oh hi there,
Well well well what a few days! Let's just start with arriving, we headed into the private gates, then up and down the windy hill until we reach our destination, then the boys dropped us off and went on an alcohol run. We met Mario, the cousin, who's is very sweet but English wasn't as good so a bit shy! We then got changed into or bikinis and hit the pool! Obviously we had a massive snoop around the house, well mansion. It was simply incredible, like nothing I've ever experienced. The infinity pool looked out onto the sea, no other houses were visible. It had a private path down to the rocks. The only thing we decided it was missing was a jacuzzi, which obviously once the boys returned they switch it on and suddenly we had a jacuzzi. Saying that we later found one of the ensuites has a massive jacuzzi bath and Marios room had one on the balcony, obviously.
The house was actually built for Mario and his brothers, so it's just a perfect amazing party house that they only go to, once a year maybe. So that staff and the house are all there all year for maybe one visit a year. What a waste! However Mario said it was my home too and also offered us his private jet. What a life!
So anyway that night we just got really drunk in the pool, I mean we even had one of the staff basically like a bar man. I think alcohol and pools don't mix, everyone had at least one bruises or scratch the next day! Including mario with a deep cut on his finger from tryin to open a glass bottle and kirsty split her lip on the pool floor.Also whilst we were drinking the staff made us burgers, they were just exactly what we needed!
The next day the sun was shining so when we all woke up we sunbathed / recovered, then went into Acapulco for sea food, which was very tasty. Then the boys wanted to watch football so we went off on our own ( for 30 mins, don't think we would have been lowed any more than that) and we went to the beach, it was pleasant! However we got sooo much attention it was a bit scary.
So that night we just chilled and drank at the pool, obviously drinking Moët, the got ready and headed out. There was 7 of is squished in one car, nobody cares about drink driving, so it was hilarious. We went to a really cool club, Mario requested we had security, and angel told Nicola and I to calm our dancing down because we were drawing too much attention and if someone came to steal us with a gun security would back down pretty quick. However we said we weren't drawing the attention maybe it was Mario doing champagne showers with two bottles of Moët! It's okay though because we didn't pay for any drinks. It was funny though, security even followed me to the toilet. It is really a different world! Also Nicola broke her camera so night time photographer is no longer on duty!
Before we went out we were doing shots of tequila that was given to Marios grand father, who by all accounts is a very important man, it was probably the most expensive drink I have ever had, or will ever have. I cannot get over their life! The grand father has met the queen and stuff, it's just crazy. Apparently were invited to the royal wedding but didn't go!
So next day we all woke up at some point and were cooked Mexican breakfast, which was yummy! Then also we were cooked Mexican lunch which was also tasty then we just sunbathed and packed, and then went to a really nice Italian restaurant. So nice way to end the Mexico trip.
It really has been amazing! We had a panic over luggage as its a really low limit on this flight so we all have heavier hand luggage then luggage luggage!
So now we are waiting to get on the plane to Vegas, and the Mexicans have put us in touch with a Mexican who works in Vegas ( for clubs ) so tonight we are going to where prince Harry recently got a bit naughty! Shame he wasn't there still!
Will update soon!!

More mexico
Oh hi there,
So after our day of scrabble we just chilled in our hotel room, watched the hangover and got excited for las vegas! Not a very eventful night but it was nice all the same.
The next day one of the Mexicans guys picked us up for lunch, we went to the place we had been drinking at the other night, which is in the city centre by the city hall. We had loads of food, it's a good job we are not in Mexico for a long long time or we would be fat! We then went to Angels house and dropped our stuff off, as he wasn't there because he had to go to some award thing. So we got manicures and pedicures, as you do when you're a rich Mexican lady! It was really fun! We then came back and got ready and Diego picked us up and we went for cocktails, where lots of the boys joined us. We then went for tacos, Angels favourite ones in the city, I only had one, didn't want to risk it! By this point angel had returned, so it was nice to see him again.
That brings us to today, we got up, or ready, went to pick his sister up from school, the school is really posh, like the OC one or something! Then we went for a drive around all the houses, omg I've never seen houses like them, they are incredible! Huge huge huge and they all belong to this group of 50 guys, and obviously the cars match!
We then came back to Angels and the maids had cooked lunch, enchiladas and soup, yum it was gooood!
We are going out tonight but not going crazy because we are going to Acapulco tomorrow at 8 am and it's a 5 hour drive. We will be staying in Angels cousins house which is situated on 'millionaires hill' hmmmm quite excited to see this.
The name of the place we are currently in is Chordoba but as I say we are leaving tomorrow.
It's really nice to see the real Mexico, and eat where they eat and do what they do. I just wish I spoke Spanish!!
All accommodation is booked for NYC and Las Vegas Wooo!

Viva la Mexico
Oh hi there,
Now are are in Veracruz, it's really nice. Yesterday we arrived, got dropped off at the hotel, got showered and ready. Got picked up, went to Angels home, met his family and his dogs, they are so cute. His house is amazing, so posh! We then went to antonios bar, which we had heard about but were just expecting like a garden shed type bar, but no this was an actual fully stocked bar, it was about the size of my apartment at home! It had every alcohol type under the sun, proper his and hers toilets, a massive BBQ area, and unlimited coronas because antionios family are the supplier of corona for the whole area, so they get unlimited. We asked why you would have such a bar, the answer was that they have lots of family events. So obviously dinner at a table is not good enough!
We then went out to a bar in the city centre by the city hall, we had mariachis singing, they bought us roses, it was so cute. They are a really nice group, consists of 50 guys, no idea how many we have met! We then went to a club which was cool, they had a band and we had more vodka! It was a cool night. Angel left early because he had to go to this graduation thing so needed to be up early, so Antionio became chief child minder. We got food after - a local delight. It was lovely. However whilst in there these guys were discussing that they were going to beat Antionio up because he was only one guy with us three girls, so he called another guy to join us, which was good, so no trouble.
We woke up today at 11/12 ish then Antionio picked us up, and brought us to his house. Everyone lives really close but nobody walks. Obviously his house is amazing too. We have just chilled and played scrabble, got food, and it's sunny so it's a really nice day
We are not going out out tonight so that's good!
No idea what the plan for tomorrow is!
But we love Mexico!! Xxx

Reflective statement
Oh hi there,
Just wanted to talk a bit about my highs and lows of my summer spent as a Disney Icp participant.
I would love to say I loved every single minute, but there were minutes when a guest would shout at you or you would get told off for not having a top button done up in 100 degree heat or they would make you die your hair because it's not Disney look policy. So those minutes I did not enjoy. But it may sound cheesy, everyone other minute I was so happy!
I have met some truly amazing people who I hope I will see one day again, I have memories that I will never forget. I want to do it all again, I was not ready to leave.
The downside is having a room mate, who for the record never unpacked, not being able to choose who you live with and all the rules on property about not having other people in past 1am, which just seems stupid! Also not having a car is really hard, but if you make friends with someone with a car it's not so bad. I will miss Laura car parties after work with DJ Ginge.
My job was amazing, literally think I had one of the easiest jobs in the whole of Disney, the people were great, the actual job was easy. Parade was fun, just love animal kingdom, it's so chilled compared to other parks.
Of course there are a lot of things I didn't get round to doing but the things I did do made up for it.
I'm sure there's more I need to say but right now I need to sleep, I've not had more than 5 hours sleep for a long time!

Mexico!!!
Oh hi there,
So from saying goodbye to Dario we got in the taxi, got to the airport around 3am, having had no sleep, just chilled for a bit then went to check in, I needed to take some stuff out of one of my bags an put it into the other, it was ridiculous like they are all going to the same place! So we then had a flight to Atlanta, then San Antonio, then Mexico city. Once we got there, we met Angel and Antonio and went for lunch at this amazing restaurant over looking these ruins, two of Kirsty's Mexican girl friends from her previous programme joined us which was lovely for her to reunite after two years!
Mexico city is a crazy place, when you're driving through it's the extremes of poverty and money. The traffic is insane it took us 4 hours to go about 10 miles, that's no exaggeration either. But once we were on the highway the traffic started moving again and we went to Puebla which is where Antonio is at uni so we stayed a night in his flat, which is AMAZING! We then went out, of course. I didn't think it would be that dressy but I wish I'd worn something better but just had a hilarious night, their friends are really nice.
Today we woke up, eventually, think we went to sleep at 6am. We headed to Chulula which is a local town and lunch, enchiladas, which were incredible!
We then went for a walk around did a bit of shopping, got a few bits and bobs, it was really nice! And now we are on our way to Veracruz, not sure of the plans. I will keep updated when I have Internet.

Last week
Oh hi there,
so now I'm officially not employed by Disney I can reflect on my time there.
Firstly I will talk about my last week, I've had such a good time. I went out to cowboys, on the saturday, which was amazing! It was a full on cowboy bar, complete with everyone line dancing, obviously we attempted line dancing but failed, however since then Laura and Kody ( the texans from work) have shown us how so now we know how to dance to my new favourite song 'copper head road' ah it was one of my favourite nights! Then on the Sunday obviously it was House of blues, we partied with the South Americans, Amy and Anna didn't get in for being too drunk, they nearly didn't let Nicola in but we got in and it was obviously an amazing night!
So then it was Monday and we went to falafel lounge with a guy from work and an Italian and it was a funny night, Laura hit a door in my face, I didn't remember until two days later when I was like 'why does my head hurt?' and they started laughing at me.
Tuesday was supposed to be Latin night but we were so tired we decided to wait for Wednesday night which we were supposed to go to blue martinis but then realised its over 21 only and seen as it was my last night we just went to Bdubs and had a good night with everyone, I took my union jack flag out and it was hilarious. Everyone started to sing someone like you to me and I cried in the middle of the dance floor. I think it was the drunkest I've ever been since being here. But it was my last night so I am allowed.
Anyway thats the nights out covered, so my last few days of work:
At work we had a party with loads of food, a reef rave, and a lot of pictures. On my actual last day I got and ER, at 2pm and Amy and Laura came and we got face paint and went on Everest twice, went to see lion king and I cried and timone was like don't cry :( it was so sad. At work I hadn't even arranged any food just people brought me cake! Then after work we went to the rainforest cafe, which was really nice to see everyone out of work. Also one girl who sometimes works at nemo was being friends with Donald in parade and Nemod at us and it was so much fun! Such a special day.
On Wednesday, I Gave my shift away so me Nicola and Laura went to the water parks which was really good, then finished the day with steak n shake, yum! That's when I packed :( so sad.
So Thursday was also a great day. I had breakfast with Corbin from work, cracker barrel, it was good. Then went to hooters with Paulo at lunch, which was fun. Then it was time for graduation. It was all set up outside my apartment. Everyone looked nice dressed up. We got given our ears, met Minnie and mickey, got our certificates, said lots of goodbyes. For some reason I couldn't even cry. Everyone else was and I just couldn't. There were all the flags from around the world, got some really good pictures. I then said another Goodbye to Paulo and the south Americans. Which was super sad!
On the evening after graduation me Nicola and Laura went to Hollywood studios, got to skip the queue to rocking roller coaster, and tower of terror because we were like it's out last day and we were wearing our ears, which we got engraved!then we had VIP seats for Fantasmic, which made me cry and then I had to say goodbye to Laura which was horrible :( as I don't know when I will see her again!
Also had to say goodbye to Amy but that's not as bad as I know I will see her in England!
We decided it was best to just not sleep, seen as we needed to leave at 2:30am, so Nicola stayed at mine and napped, Dario came round and chilled. Then the time came to leave Chatham forever. I wanted to cry, I mean obviously I was excited to go travelling but just not ready to leave.
So read the next blog for travelling stories!

Recap
Oh hi there,
I don't even know where I left off. Well on my two days off, obviously we went to HOB on Sunday. Obviously it was another amazing night, they didn't let Amy and Anna in because they are underage and were too drunk, but me Laura and Nicola had a really good night. We decided we were not paying for our own drinks, we got a ride there and the bus back, so didn't spend a single cent all night. It was a hilarious night really, not that I remember much of it. So we had decided we would go to DHS for doors opening, so see the opening thing, however, I slept in! So we went about 10am, and did everything, we finally got on the Toy Story Mania ride, which the fast passes go by 11am normally and it always have a 100+ minute queue waiting time, I would love to say I loved it and if I had waited 100+ minutes I would feel satisfied, but that would be a lie, it was good but not great. After that we went to Downtown Disney for a bit of a wander around, it was raining but we still went. Bought Disney braclets with ICP '12 on, so we can remember forever, cheesy but hey we are in Disney.
On Tuesday Nicola had work early so I went to Art of Animation to see her, chilled by the pool which is Nemo themed, even had the songs from the show playing, I just cant escape it! Then we got some food there, that was really nice and headed to MK.
As we were walking into MK this man gave us fast passes for Space Mountain, so obviously we did that and got another fast pass. We then watched the 3pm parade which is the first time ive seen all the princesses, there was no rain everything went smoothly, it was lovely. We went on a few rides, met up with a guy from Nemo (backstage, not like us, sound tech or something) then Laura joined us, Nicola went home, we headed to Epcot, went to Mexico to see my Mexican friend, ran round to UK to see my UK friends, watched the fireworks, it was a good day. After I went back to the Commons with the Mexicans, and they cooked me proper Mexican food, it was so good! Came home about 2:30, had work the next day.
Last night, me, Nicola and Shawana went out Downtown Orlando, went to Chillers, it was really good. Met the most horrible man ever, he was just rude, I told him I wanted to literally punch him in the face, but its not worth my visa!! Some people. So today I had work, with 3 hours sleep. We all slept at Nicolas, to make sure I got up and because her rooms mates away so we used Hannahs mattress and had a slumber party.
Today I got an ER for 3pm, ive never left so early, it was amazing. I didnt get back until 4:15 ish, then skyped then tried to book all my extra luggage, but some I have to buy at the airport and some 24 hours previous to flying, so I should have just gone to the pool for some sunshine and a nap.
I have absolutly no food in at the moment, but I just dont see the point in spending loads of money for less than a week!
Tonight I am going to Marshals WOOOOOO xxx

Last schedule
Oh hi there,
Let's catch up, so everyone left, on Hannah's last night we went to MK an had a meal, watched the electrical parade, watched the memories thing and then wishes, I nearly cried, really nearly cried. There were loads of CPs and ICPs with their graduation ears on. It was sad.
So the following morning I went and said goodbye to Hannah, then went to work, the bus was 30 mins late, so literally sprinted to work, clocked in at 10:45 and 30 seconds, so made it!! Woohoo!
That night we had heard rumours there was a pool party at the commons, which is just up the road. So after work Laura took us to buy alcohol, four lokos, they are banned in a lot of states. They are a pre mixed alcoholic drink. I had two and I was a mess. So we invited these guys who are professional interns, so basically like going out with our managers at nemo, they were not professional lol. So we got to the commons not expecting much and it was amazing! Like loads of people, music, everyone just in the pool. It was maybe one of my favourite nights here yet. I want to live in the commons forever. It was nt an official Disney housing event, I har no idea who made it. But it was amazing. The hangover wasn't so great at work though.
Today I got my last schedule, I have Monday Tuesday off then I'm in until the day before I go and I'm even scheduled the day I leave, I'm leaving USA at 6am. And I have the Saturday off, makes no sense it's like they have forgotten i am leaving. I need to talk to a manager today. So kind of gutted because we get out free entry back for the water parks on the 11th! Looks like I won't get to go!

Today was awesome.
Oh hi there,
Today was awesome, but also horrible. It was awesome because we had a potluck and had loads of cake, like loads! So much cake, it was all so nice, and an amazing stew thing, so much food, I loved it.
However it wasn't awesome because the reason we had all the cake was because everyone was leaving, so Madaline, Stephanie, Lauren, Taylor and Nika all left :( so so sad saying goodbye, just horrible! So after work Madeline and I went to go on Everest, and because Laurens bf works there we skipped the queue and went on the front row, it was sick!!!! Then we went on Dinosaur and there was no queue, then as we were leaving backstage we saw Goofy and Pluto and asked for a photo which was amazing. I mean I look like an idiot as I didn't have a change of clothes, so had to buy a new top, as you cant be in the park in costume, so I had my shorts and boots on and an DAK top, which I love!
Also today someone told me I would be a great Cinderella, and also got called hot, it must be the tan from the beach.
There was a lot of angry guests today, must be a full moon or something.
We also had a Reef Rave, which is where we turn all the lights off in our break room and use the flash lights and torches for guiding and dance around like idiots, its class.
Such a nice day, but also so sad. :(

Bloody hell it's august!!
Oh hi there,
So I've hit ultra depression stage as its August and I will be leaving in 16 days basically. I don't want to go. I'm just having so much fun!
This week has gone in a blur, works been fun, we have had Reef Raves, where we turn all the lights off in our break room and use the flash lights and the red guiding lights and just basically having a rave! It's sick.
This week, was going to go out Thursday night, well firstly I went and met James and Dario at Hollywood Studios, then we went downtown and ate at planet Hollywood, the food was average but it was fun, there was an hour queue but because we are cast members they found us a table straight away.
Then Amy and I were planning on going out, got on the party bus, got to vista, decided we were too tired and got off and came home. Good choice l.
Can't even remember what I did Friday night, maybe cicis pizza, as Nicola and I went to Dollar tree to buy decorations for Hannah's surprise leaving party. We went with a tiki theme.
Saturday we went to roxy, it was fun, Amy and I defs danced on podiums and got filmed, god knows where that footage is. But it was a fun night, maybe got to bed around 5 and had work on Sunday, not enjoyable. But I survived.
So Sunday night, we decorated Hannah's flat for when she came in from work, I made vodka jelly, then loads of people came around, and it was so so fun. Went to HOB and standard it was amazing. Such a good night.
On Sunday I was tempted to not go to the beach but I'm so glad I did. Laura from work drove amy and I to cocoa beach, the weather was perfect, we say next to this group with huge speakers, it was so good. Got my tan on, finally! Then we went to a waffle house because it's a Texan thing and Laura is from Texas, then we came home and I went round to James's apartment to make fajitas for them, and I needed to do laundry and they have it in their apartments for free so two birds and one stones all that jaz. I now have clean underwear.
I'm currently sitting waiting for the bus just feeling sad because it's madelines last day :( from now every week someone's leaving then I leave. Argh. I want to do the cultural representative programme, for the year, live in the commons, work in the uk and party like there's no tomorrow, however I do need to get home and get back in te real world. So not looking forward to going back to uni.
:(
