One of my favorite things to do here was go to the drawing class (go figure!). One of my favorite teachers was Pete. Before the class started, he asked me who I hadn't drawn yet so he taught us how to draw Stitch. Although mine looked a little handicapped, Pete said it was good. He gave me his (which I am holding) as a goodbye present. Oh, I'll miss talking to all the artists.

Oh yeah, who's the artist in the family now, Karlee? That's David Rippberger, an Ink and Paint artist at the Disney MGM Studios. He works in the gallery with me and let me come in early one day so I could paint a cel. Yeah, it's Jedi Mickey. How cool am I?
Yay! I painted Mickey's ear. It is a long process so of course I could only do a little bit but it's looks like I've found my new passion. Not really-I couldn't even stay in the lines. It would take me too long to go back and fix everything.
That's David, Me and my dear little Shirley. I'm gonna miss them a lot. Shirley is the funniest woman to ever work for Disney. She's the type of woman that will tell you what's up! For example, I was having a bad hair day, I knew that and everyone knew that but she just had to tell me. She said, "Why did you do your hair like that? It doesn't look cute." I'll miss her and all of her gossip as well. Oh the good times.

We spent about five minutes trying to convice Peter and Wendy that we weren't Pirates. They thought because we were wearing stripes like Mr. Smee that we had to be on his side. I however, would like an explanation as to why Peter has a five o'clock shadow at one in the afternoon and why Wendy looks like she's pregnant in her dress. There's something going on here...

It's Shlee and Smee! He was very friendly, however, Captain Hook scared me a bit so I sacrificed JennaMarie and made her stand by him. He tried to steal her jewelry and just kept staring me down, I knew that couldn't be good. After we left, we immediately saw another pirate as Captain Jack Sparrow ran past screaming, "That was not good! Definately not good!" He turned around and saw us and gave a polite, "Oh hello there!" and then continued running. I love Captain Jack Sparrow.

My favorite place in the Magic Kingdom. Expo Hall...the perfect place to take an air conditioned nap.

Yay for the day parade at the Magic Kingdom (which they are changing August 10th, wanna go Mom and Dad???). There are a lot of characters in it that you don't get to meet very often. Let me introduce you to a few. By the way, we sell this float in the Animation Gallery as a snow globe if anyone's interested...
It's the brooms from Fantasia! Awesome huh? I was so excited to see them, I'm actually a really big fan. Especially thanks to Mickey's Philharmagic where you can see a baby broom. So cute.
Hey! It's the Dopester! He's saying "Hi" to you Mom.
Isn't Ursula creepy looking. What a great villain. It's a good thing she normally lives under water and doesn't come out too much.
Hello mice from Cinderella. Thanks for helping with one of the most romantic fairy tales of all time!
Oh, and Sleeping Beauty's Fairy Godmothers. Thanks to you guys too! Five points to whoever can name each one according to the color of their dresses. I was never really good at that.

A whole new meaning to "You look like a bug in those glasses".

Um, JennaMarie? Do you realize what your are standing in? Run before it's too late!

All right guys! Are you ready to go swimming with the fishies? I think the guy in the speedo behind me looks ready!
Shark!! Everyone out of the pool! Oh wait, it's supposed to be there. People often say that there is glass between you and the sharks but I'm not so sure. However, I am glad that they like more on the bottom of the pool than right by my feet.
Whoah, that's an ugly fish. He looks mad too.
This is the part where I almost passed out. Luckily I was in salt water so I couldn't have really drowned. I did get a nice gulp of it once though. The fish were everywhere. It was like their hang out and I decided to join them. I guess it's good that I did because I don't think there were nearly as many in the other direction.

Eww! This is a prime example of why I don't care to eat fish. They are so weird looking. Cool. But weird. Overall this was one of the neatest experiences I've had down here. The fish were amazing and it was, sadly enough, one of the most daring things that I've done. It gives me chills just thinking about it.
