So…

I went to Florida for spring break.

I’m here until April 1st, so I’ve got some time in the Sunshine State.

So yeah, that means no FNF covers for a while.

Buuut I can tell you about Magic Kingdom and Key West!

(not restaurants because this ain’t a food blog)

The only culinary experience I will give you is this ambrosia:

(my mom and I call them “licky thingies” but they’re by Fruitique and they’re amazing go eat one)

Here we go:

MAGIC KINGDOM

Of course. What’s Florida without Disney’s Magic Kingdom?

The first thing we did was the Magic Carpet Ride from Aladdin. I never watched Aladdin, but I did have a book as a kid that summed up a bunch of Disney movies, so I didn’t remember if Aladdin sounded like that.

But the ride was fun. Except for the fact that there was a button in the back that’s purpose I still don’t know. Nobody pressed it, so I guess we’ll never know.

Then we ate at Casey’s Corn Dogs(or something like that)and I tried to ride Big Thunder Mountain.

I wanted to try something new! Also, I have a very reckless friend. Maybe that was part of it.

But we never got to ride it because it suffered technical difficulties. We did, however, get a good wisdom.

Explosives: “If lit fuse by accident run away and don’t come back.”

See? Good wisdom.
:3

Anyway, then we went to the Hall Of Presidents.

Now you might be wondering: “aBbY why wErE yOu iN tHe hALL oF pReSiDeNtS iTs sPrInG brEaK tHaT’s fOr fUnsIe fUnSiE nOt lEaRnY leArNy”

Your answer:

Because I’M A HISTORIAN 😀

(shoutout to my History teacher Mrs. Silva)

(And for those of you wondering why there’s a Hall of Presidents in the first place, it’s because Walt Disney wanted to honor the Presidents of the United States.)

But the only issue?

there was no Lil’ Jemmy.
(for those of you that are for some reason not Historians, I’m talking about James Madison.)

The FATHER OF THE FRACKING CONSTITUTION WAS NOT IN THE HALL OF PRESIDENTS.

(still mad about that by the way)

He was mentioned, however, in the plaque under Thomas Jefferson’s picture, giving a very sweet paragraph about his bestie(Yeah: Jefferson, Madison, and James Monroe were all good friends)and in Dolly Madison’s plaque.

Can’t they throw out Andrew Jackson’s photo and add James instead? Please?

But anyway…

There was a fun little show about the Presidents. Jemmy was NOT mentioned until the very end, where it mentioned all of the US Presidents in chronological order(all of them were there, too).

James Madison and Barack Obama did NOT look like James Madison and Barack Obama.

Nonetheless, I waved at Jefferson and Madison.

…And then my mom proceeded to make fun of me for the rest of the trip. Woo woo.

Also, when Donald Trump was mentioned, the guy sitting behind us cheered.

If I had known we were allowed to cheer, I would’ve cheered for Jemmy.

So uhhhhh yeah.

Anyway, after that was a cool parade in which I saw Flynn Rider, who waved at me. Also there was a Maleficent mech(A robot of Maleficent’s dragon form)that breathed actual fire.

Also, Flynn waving at me did not help the fact that my mom was still making fun of me for waving at Jefferson and Madison. Nor did the fact that I waved at Jasmine, Aladdin, and Bruno and they waved back.

However, I saw Bruno as we were exiting, and the interaction probably looked like this:

Me:

Bruno:

OH WELL A WAVE IS A WAVE-

Sorry Bruno btw 🙁

But anyway…

The last ride we went on(after we got ice cream)was Dumbo the Flying Elephant. I don’t have much to say about this one besides the fact it was basically the Aladdin ride but the line moved slower and it wasn’t as fun.

Also I was tired and grumpy. So yeah.

Welp it’s getting late so to sum up Key West:

We ate ice cream, went to the Butterfly Garden (bUtTeRfLy bUtTeRfLy[bUtTeRfLy bUtTeRfLy]wHeRe aRe yOu gOiNG[wHeRe aRe yOu gOiNG]), missed our bus back to Miami, and had to stay in Key West for one night.

That kind of sucked but at least I’m alive-

Yeah I need sleep oki BUH bye
