This is something I wanted to do on my last program but I didn't end up doing. I still think it's a good idea, so I'm gonna try it this time!
Write down 1 memory/interaction each day- this can be something smaller that I don't want to forget. Inside joke, funny/rude guest, just one thing that stood out from the day's events and put into a big jar

Day 171: We Did It. We Drank Around the World!

Today my roommates Chelsea, Tess, and I departed on a mission. To try one drink from each country in World Showcase and document it in picture form, also known as Drinking Around the World. We started pretty early in Canada, and planned to work our way around to end in Mexico. I bought a passport to have it stamped in every country, so I wanted to do that in every country. I also hadn't met a few princesses that met in Epcot, so we wanted to meet with them as well.

We tried to limit the amount of beers we had, because a few of us don't really enjoy beer all that much. A lot of countries only offered beer though! It was super weird. Throughout the course of the day, we had a few duds, but also a few amazing drinks! The Welsh Dragon at Rose & Crown in the UK was soooo good. The Tokyo Sunrise in Japan was right up there too!

Beer in Canada to kick off the day!

We met Mary Poppins in the UK, Aurora in France, Belle in France, Snow White in Germany, and Mulan in China. Once we hit Mexico, we got a mango margarita to finalize our trip around the world. We headed to Spaceship Earth where Tess works, and she got us in the VIP entrance. We had fastpasses for Test Track, so we did that ride too. We rode the Seas with Nemo and Friends and saw Turtle Talk with Crush. That was one of the two rides I needed to do everything in Epcot. The other was Reflections of China, which we did too.

After we got back from Epcot, there was a housing event going on at the field right next to our apartment. They had a few characters out so we decided to go meet them. It was Chip and Dale and Mushu! It was so cool seeing these characters in their costumes!

We did so much today, I definitely feel accomplished.

'Til next time!

This involves using the giant corkboard in the living room of my apartment, and everyone write something memorable from every day of the program. Then at the end, we can all sit down and share those memories with each other and have a big cry-fest.

So that’s my bucket list, y’all. Anything major I forgot to add? Let me know in the comments!

'Til next time!
