    I want to see that too! I was lucky enough to get the Broadway Workshop songs (the ones they use to try it out before they decide the perform the thing) and they're amazing! I think I might just go live in NY instead LOL

    Anyway, I found my list of things I wanted to do... here goes...

    Have picture taken with Sorcerer Mickey at Disney Hollywood Studios
    Go to Disneyland
    Get a Florida driving lisence!
    Go to Jellyrolls
    See the Wonders of China in Epcot
    Watch the sunset in Frontierland and take amazing pictures
    Do the Keys to the Kingdom tour
    Eat at Victoria & Alberts!
    Do the Spaceship Earth tour (if they still do them)
    Join ENCORE (cast choir)
    Get picture with Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella
    Parasailing at the Contemporary
    Attend a campfire at Fort Wilderness

    As well as everything else I've said LOL

    Of course I will!

    And, you don't get to really go anywhere with the choir, but you do get to perform at the ABC Theatre in Disney's Hollywood Studios. They only do one show a year, and it's usually based on broadway songs (the year I was there it was The Spark of Creation, and was all about Stephen Schwartz (the guy who wrote the music for Wicked! and Enchanted!) so that was cool). The auditions are usually in May sometime, and the show is in August and from what I know, runs for 3 nights. The only problem is that you have to be able to attend the majority of rehearsals, and it's usually 3 nights a week, which is why I couldn't do it as my schedule was a typical CP one. However, there's no harm in auditioning! (if I hadn't I wouldn't have found out I could sing!) and the people who do it are all really nice.

    This is their website! http://www.encorecentral.org/ and you can see pictures of past shows and stuff.

    Enjoy!

    I'm considering getting a Florida Drivers license too, but I don't have one from Norway either...

    I really want to do some backstage tours, like in the tower of terror and spaceship earth.

    I've done several of the character meals, but you can never get enough of them when you're in Disney :D

    Yay! I say we all go to take our tests at the DMV together and then hire cars and drive around in convoy, what a site we'd be!

    I'd love to do the tour that lasts all day, I think you go behind the scenes at MK, MGM (I know it's changed but to me it will always be MGM!) and Epcot.

    That tour is called Backstage Magic... it's quite expensive, but being CM's we get a nice discount. For most tours you don't have to pay, but because this one is very popular and lasts longer, they make you pay for it lol. At least they did when I was there!

    And yes, convoy sounds great :D just so we can show off LOL

    Shopping is a big necessity in florida! They've got so much cool stuff there and not to mention cheap ;D

    It's really easy to get the license there I've heard. If you go to the DMV thingy in Kissimee, I've heard that all you have to do is to drive for 5-10 minutes on a closed parking lot to get your license :D

    Shopping is definately on my list speck!! I was over there last summer and had the best shopping day ever in Florida Mall, its all so cheap, abercrombie and fitch took a hammering ;D

    - Note to all shoppers, the sales are on around the last week of June, first week of July and its brilliant, nothing like the carnage of sale over here - its too big a mall to get that full :D

    Also considering getting a florida driving licence, didn't realise it was as easy as driving round a car lot for 15 mins! But for some funny reason i keep thinking that i will have to hand over my UK licence, which i really don't want to do..
    Further investigation is needed.. but count me in for the convoy!!

    Yeah, I recommend doing that! Me and some friends stayed at Saratoga Springs for 3 nights and did the spa. It was great!

    I don't think we're actually going to have time to work! I'm up for staying at all the resorts, maybe we can make it a regualr thing LOL We must vow to spend at least one night in each resort! Did you know it's really cheap to stay in the cabins at Fort Wilderness...when we were looking into it on my last program, it was $36 for 6 people..... just imagine the fun!
