you have exactly enough energy for just one day, remember that
My job with Disney contacted me about 2 days before needing some help in Toronto on a project so I scrambled to book my flights and get myself in order before flying out to Canada. I was only going to be there for 3 days total, and most of it would be working, so I would not have too much time to explore, but you know every second I could I was doing just that.
I took the first flight out of Orlando and was in Toronto before noon. I grabbed lunch, which of course consisted of poutine and was delicious from Smoke's Poutinerie.
I also had to have a little Tim Hortons iced cap!
I took a trip to Toronto in high school with my choir, where we saw Niagara Falls and we saw the show We Will Rock You. I was blown away to see We Will Rock You just happened to be back in town like 15 years later.
After lunch it was time to meet up with the rest of my team, where we headed to the Disney Cruise Line Toronto rehearsal facility. I was very excited to see this place, since I had never actually worked for DCL in an entertainment capacity, but I had heard stories about it. I can't tell you much but it was really neat being surrounded by rehearsing casts for the ships with various props and costumes and really cool backstage things.
For dinner that night, the team went out to eat at Scaddabush Italian Kitchen, which was delicious Italian food that happened to be right across the street from our hotel. Disney put us up in a beautiful hotel at the Intercontinental by IHG, and I could even see the CN Tower from my window!
The sandwich is thick slices of peameal bacon, which is like a cured pork loin rolled in cornmeal, served on a soft bun and sometimes with mustard. I think this was my favorite thing I ate that whole trip. Who knew Toronto was such a foodie place!
The more common tart in Canada is the butter tart. This one tasted like a pecan pie filling without the crunchy nuts. I had another one later at the airport that actually was better in my opinion that was more buttery and flaky.
I also got to go on the castle stage, which was so awesome.
My friend Ashley from college and her family were also in the parks one day and I ran into them.
But one of my favorite people to run into, especially when I am working, and he always seems to be there, is this cute photopass!
Recently, I went to Blizzard Beach with Bethany and Olivia and we had a great time! I haven't been here in well over a decade, but it was so nice!
Mike has been enjoying his time back at Disney, and every Tuesday he is playing on the intramural beach volleyball team with some of the other photopass folks!
We recently went on a date to the Silver Moon drive in to see Freaky Friday and our second watch of Fantastic 4. This drive in was so cute, but I do recommend waiting til it's not as hot cause we were sweatinnggg in our car.
Mike's birthday is on September 10, and this year he was turning the big 33! His parents who officially retired now, came down to celebrate.
On his actual birth-day we went to Epcot and did some food and wine to celebrate.
He went golfing on the Disney course with his parents to celebrate.
Also to celebrate Mike's birthday, later in the week, when we had actual time, we went to Colorado Fondue Company. This was such a fun time. We loved the Halloween overlay, and the prices were extremely affordable. We had both a cheese fondue for dinner, and a chocolate fondue for dessert. Highly recommend!
