Familial Gatherings to Walt Disney World, Part 1

A little while ago, one of my most favorite people in the world came to visit me!!!!!! My dear cousin Kelsey came to Florida!

She flew in on a Wednesday night. We stayed at the All Star Movies Resort and got the Disney dining plan. There was sooo much goood food and fun conversations.
Wednesday night I ate the BEST meatball sub I have ever had in my life! While I waited for Ms Kelsey to arrive on the Magical Express from the airport. We chatted and it was FABULOUS!
Thursday we slept late, played at the pool, then went over to Animal Kingdom Lodge, looked at the animals and ate at Sanaa. It was really yummy with indian/african foods. Then, Kelsey had to call in for The Everything Film Show {she's part of a film blog... isn't that AWESOME? how cool is this girl?} and we watched Whip It. Which is a really fun movie, about doing what you love... why wouldn't I love it?
Friday: HARRY POTTER DAY!!! We went to Islands of Adventure with my {non}roommate Ica. Her fabulous roommate gave us a ride. Then we waited for SEVEN HOURS to get into that part of the park. Spending that much time in a theme park without actually going on a ride or playing gives you A LOT of time to analyze the way the park is run. And basically, if I am going to spend eighty dollars on a theme park, I'm going to spend it at Disney, not Universal.
That being said... HARRY POTTER IS AWESOME! If you get the chance, go there.
Saturday was another quiet day. We went to see Toy Story 3 {sooo good!} and ate at Earl of Sandwich. We couldn't decide what to do about dinner and we eventually ended up at Trails End which was a bar be cue buffet and alright, but definitely not worth however much it normally costs.
Sunday: All four parks: one day! We were EXHAUSTED by the time we got to Magic Kingdom that evening. We ate at 50's primetime in Hollywood Studio's {meh} and Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom {Yay Winnie the Pooh! But disney needs to get better at buffets...}. It was sooo much fun! The fun that was had is indescribable! I wish we had had more time in the worlds showcase. But we did sooo much! And it was so fun to do all the things I love with my dear Kelsey!
Monday, we ate at the Grand Floridian {my favorite!}  at the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious breakfast with Mary Poppins, The Mad Hatter, Alice, Pooh and Tigger again. This buffet was MUCH better than the others. But probably because it was breakfast. Then we had to get back to All Star and get Kelsey on a bus :( No worries! We'll play lots when I'm back in California!
