These guys came along, too.
Life has been super hard today.
After a fast, easy, I-slept-the-whole-time-and-we-even-arrived-early flight last night, I’m happy to say my work-but-feels-like-play trip is off to a fantastic start.
Last night involved a trip to the hotel bar and hot tub.
And maybe a lap or two around the Lazy River.
I swam mostly. I’m not lazy, like the river implies.
I slept amazingly well in the cold room and big bed, and was happy to sleep in until 7 am.
I hit up the hotel gym this morning for some ab and arm fun before sweating my face off during a 5-mile run.
Florida runners, you are crazy.
This place is hot!
The run was somewhat speedy but boring. I’m hoping to find a route that’s more fun than the golf course/highway before my trip is over.
My post-run plans involved the following:
The best brunch buffet ever at the Waldorf Astoria (yup).
Laying out by the pool.
Drinking by the pool.
Swimming in the pool.
Falling asleep by the pool.
Rough, I know.
I hit up Downtown Disney for an early dinner/tequila at Paradiso 37 before heading to the evening’s work event.
Fun fact, jerks: Pleasure Island signage is still all over the place. So for everyone who said, “Don’t freak out, it doesn’t exist anymore,” you are all full of lies.
Tomorrow = Disney World. Me and a Hopper Pass have a series of hot dates with Rock N Rollercoaster, Epcot, Space Mountain and some Prince Charmings.
And fireworks.
Happy weekend, friends! May all your long weekends be filled with fireworks, patriotism, sweat and booze.
Cheers!

What a nice work trip!! I haven’t been to Disney World since I was 12 and i want to go back so badly!! Have FUN!!!
a whole new worlddddddddd!
i love how disney songs relate to everything in life hehe.
so jealous! enjoy disney chica. PS major lolz at your pleasure island story from back in the day. You are a rebel!
wow, that is some work trip! I’m sure they had to force you to go and all…. hehe. I am jealous of the amazing pool, but not the hot, hot weather! I can’t imagine how steamy it is down there. Hope you have a good time in Disney World!!
I am such a Disney nerd – so fun! Enjoy your trip and make sure to take a spin on the Rock ‘N Rollercoaster for me!
take a ton of photos in the park! I am going there in September and can’t wait to hear all about your trip!
Sounds like fun! Except for the running in the Florida heat part. I can’t even imagine…
I love that pic of the PI sign. Really — Pleasure Island exists in name only! There’s no pleasure to be had anymore (unless you consider T-Rex Cafe enjoyable…I do not).
I’ve always wanted to see the 4th of July fireworks at Disney — take lots of pics!
Sounds like you’re living a realllly difficult life right now!! Haha….have lots of fun & relax! 🙂
Haha! Welcome to Florida! Sucks to run in this heat doesn’t it? I’ve already decided that when I go to grad school in a year, that it can be no further south of the Mason Dixon Line! It’s too hot down here! Lol!
Have an amazing time at Disney!!!
Insanely jealous! Disney World on the 4th just seems perfect. And R & R is my FAVE ride ever!!!Of course I also love all the Mountains, and Soarin. And just sitting in the square looking at the castle. I still get choked up every time I turn down Main Street and see it : )
P.S. Hope you’re having a blast! 🙂
I’ve run that same route in Orlando!
I have had the pleasure of running in Florida, it is not pleasant especially during Florida summer…
Cheers
Lucky you:) it sounds like you are on the perfect work trip right now:) have fun!!
Die for Disney Princesses. Do not die for hot, humid weather + obligatory 4 pm thunderstorm.
Sounds like a blast! Disney World = my favorite place ever. I think it’s the perfect place to spend 4th of July. Enjoy!
