Excited already! And its not long after we all arrive too

 

we'll probably be watching the fire works from the uk pavillion too!

we should go up international drive after our shift though and see if anything's happeneng!

xx

 

oooh yeah down international, towards the point and upto belz, excitement

yeah its only 20 days after you arrive, and 13 after me

xxx

 

Can i ask a dumb question - Whats Belz? international drive is where the commons and loads of hotels are right?

xxx

 

and outlet shopping mall. and yeah its got hotels and shops and food places etc!

xx

 

the commons is on vineland avenue which is just off the south end of international drive.

international drive is the busiest street for hotels, restaurants etc in the disney area outside of lake buena vista. it links the commons/disney area to sea world just a bit further north and universal at the top of i-drive. its easy to go up and down if u dont have a car as u can get the i-ride, a canny little tram that costs $1.

belz is another outlet shoppin centre, not as good as premium but has been there longer, has calvin klein, reebok, nike, guess all the usual

xxx

 

Wow Sara and Lindsey - u know the area! So how far a walk is international drive from commons? I wanna go on the tram! lol!
xxx

 

lol marie!

well from the commons, its just the other side of the premium mall near publix, about 5 mins walk id say. as theres 2 entrances to premium one off little lake bryan/lake buena vista way and the other from international drive, its not far at all

xxx

 

meant to say the commons end of international drive (south end) is a lot quieter, bigger, plusher hotels *marriott, vistana, etc* than the top end which is a lot busier, with holiday inns etc. seriously must b a maccy d's and burger king every 10 steps haha

xxx

 

lol! So disney have shoved a load of cms at the posh end of the street!!!

xxx

 

lol in a word yeah marie! haha. they obviously know we have high aims and tastes haha

xxx

 

eah funny how that worked out eh!

sara have you seen the commons yeah??we found it last yar when my dad got us lost!lol

xx

 

haha yeah ive seen it wen goin to the premiums before, although i never realised what it was lol

xxx

 

Does it look nice? Not that i care i lived in a tent for 3 months last summer!
xxx

 

we accidentallly missed the turning and kept going and we passed the enternce to the commons. i started totally screaming

"OH MY GOD THAT SIGN SAID LITTLE LAKE BRYAN, DA ITS THE COMMONS TURN BACK TURN BACK!I WANT A PROPER LOOK"

So we went in as far as you can get without security seeing you, which is quite a bit. got all these photos. there was a guy there at the pool looking at me as if i was a complete idiot...but then i was thinking the same about him. there was a thunder storm and he was SUNBATHING at the pool ??? ??? ???

xx

 

That made me laugh Lindsey - he must of thought crazy tourist thinks this is an attraction!
Weird he'd sunbathe in a thunder storm!!!

xxx

 

i thought so! i'll take the photos when i come to see you! there a bit blurry though from the rain!
