Somebody call IX-I-I!

Can you name the film from which I took the title?

Oh my gravy, there's so much to say! Prepare for a long post...

The End.

Just kidding. But seriously, so much has happened. Number one, which has absolutely nothing to do with Disney, is that my book, The Rose Legends, Book One: Found, is officially available. Go check it out on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or WHSmith if you're overseas. If you do read it, I'd love for you to review it on the discussion board for The Rose Legends on Facebook and feel free to send me a copy at TheRoseLegends@gmail.com so that I can post it on the official website!

Now that's out of the way, I'm also sick. Been sick for a week now and it's awful. I've got this killer cough and I feel like I'm about to cough up a lung at any second. But I finally went to the walk-in clinic today, got a doctor's note for work, and a prescription for a Z Pack. So I should be right as rain soon. Thank goodness because I was coughing so hard at one point last night that my eyes were tearing up. A lot. Like... A LOT.

On the bright side, I'm still IN DISNEY WORLD! Went into the parks last weekend, thinking I was feeling better. I was wrong. But I was in Hollywood Studios and Epcot for a while. It was fun and my family was there with me at DHS (Disney's Hollywood Studios) until they left. They'd already been in WDW most of the week.

I finally rode Rockin' Roller Coaster for the first time this trip. We got fast passes (5, one for each of us) and since my parents didn't use theirs, my siblings got to go twice. Then a little girl gave my siblings an extra pass so I got to go twice as well! Woohoo! I like nice people at WDW. Anyway, if you're thinking about riding Rockin' Roller Coaster or Disney's Toy Story Mania, you need to get fast passes. Get Toy Story first because they run out faster than RRC. You can get the latter after your TSM ones activate, though sometimes the fast passes will specifically state a time that differs from the activation time.

That's just for DHS. For Epcot, you'll want fast passes for Soarin', Test Track, and probably Mission: Space. I'm not sure about the last one because I've not yet ridden it this trip. But from what I understand, it's quite popular. Test Track and Soarin' lines are always long, but Soarin' is not a thrill ride. You can skip it if you're over the age of ten or under the age of 40. Trust me. It's a nice break, but not what you want to spend a fast pass on if you're seeking thrills.

In the World Showcase at Epcot, I haven't eaten everywhere yet (it's a goal), but I have eaten at the quick service fish and chips place in the UK and it's really good. Actually comparable to the real thing overseas, if you can believe it. Not the same, of course, but close enough for me! And I'm picky. I wouldn't recommend the Cantina in Mexico, though. I've had much better Mexican food. I have not yet eaten at the other two eateries in Mexico, though. Reviews to follow when I do.

I believe that is all for now, though. My birthday is tomorrow so I hope to feel well enough to enjoy it. At least it's not my 21st or something big that I have to celebrate. Just turning 22 on the 22nd.

As always, if you seek tips simply about a visit, please ask in the comments. I won't answer questions via Facebook because I want others to see, especially if it's a general question that more than one person would ask.

Ta ta for now, dreamers!
