1st Business Trip!

On Thursday of last week (2/13) I got a call from one of my co-workers (on a team I work with) asking if I could fly to Florida on Sunday for three days for a project.  Sure!  I'll go to DisneyWorld for work!!

We left on Sunday, arrived in Orlando around 8pm.  Then started the world wind trip!  I can't tell you what I was up to but I can show you some pictures:

Headed to the airport in STYLE!!!!

 

Thanks, Disney!!!   OH YEAH!!!

All this space for little ol' ME????!

At the Disney Yacht Club.....

 

Love this!

 

HI!!!

 

Captain Mickey!

 

The Yacht Club lobby - they also had a fabulous restaurant, The Yachtsman where we ate the first night.  LOVED that we only had to go downstairs to eat since we were so tired!

On Monday:

We worked at Disney's Hollywood Studios then ran an errand to the Magic Kingdom....

 

My first glimpse of the castle in years!!!

I totally had a little girl moment seeing it again :)

 

That night, we had dinner at Kouzzina - Iron Chef, Cat Cora's restaurant.

A mix of Southern and Mediterranean - yummy and interesting!

Dessert was fabulous!

On Tuesday:

Finished up some meetings at the studios....

Had lunch at Epcot!

 

Me with the ball!  My team laughed at me telling me I was acting like a tourist - I told them I was allowed!  Every now and then....

 

My genius mentor, Susan, painted these planets.

I HAD to take a picture of them :)

Then dinner at The Grand Floridian!

Prepare yourself for the images below - it was like stepping foot in the Southern Titanic 

and I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

 

Look at the scale of the chandeliers!!  That's a band over to the left!

AMAZING!!!

And finishing the day with another amazing dessert!

Banana/Chocolate torte with vanilla bean ice cream - DELICIOUS :)

And for a night time treat - fireworks from my balcony:

On Wednesday:

Finished meetings at the studios then....

A quick trip over to the Animal Kingdom Resort and Park!!!

I'd never been here - exciting!!!!

 

Resort Lobby - BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

The Tree of Life - GORGEOUS!!!!

We left Animal Kingdom, jumped on our flight, and I was back in LA at 9pm.

I had a guy waiting for me with a sign and my name but was so tired I didn't get a picture.....always next time :)  But very cool!

And just to top off the trip.....Brandon had cleaned the entire apartment and left this little message for me:
