211. Jubilant

211. Jubilant
Definition:
(adj) expressing great happiness or triumph
Location Placed: Test Track Ride, Epcot, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/8/11 at 11:32am





This trip for me was a bit of a reward for finishing my master's degree program. I certainly was jubilant when I received those final semester grades. And even more so, when I got my diploma in the mail. It's a great feeling to be done with it. Is there anything that you are feeling jubilant about?

(adj) everlasting, endless, undying
Location Placed: Mission Mars Ride, Epcot, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/8/11 at 9:53am





The vacation certainly had a timeless quality well before this part. I kept forgetting what day it was. Who needs to know the day of the week when your biggest care in the world is which amusement park opens early? Something I could definitely have gotten use to.

(n) the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful
Location Placed: Norway Pavilion, Epcot, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/7/11 at 7:55pm





For a person whose wanderlust is larger than their pursestrings, Epcot is a fun place to go to "see different countries." I am amazed at how detailed all the pavilions are down to some lovely details (namely the hidden mickey's.) While I can't speak for all the countries in the world area, the few that I have been to are well depicted. Sadly I've not been to the actual country of Norway, but hopefully I can make it before my crane project ends!

The Polynesian Resort in Disney World has this very lovely fountain and vegetation area. It was inside the main lobby and could be seen from both floors. Not to mention the lovely themed restaurants, Kona & Ohana (which was, not surprisingly, delicious.) I once designed a house for a geometry class that had a fountain in the foyer, although not nearly as grand. I'm pretty sure I failed the project, but apparently I should've just taken my expertise to Disney World.

206. Bouncy

206. Bouncy
Definition:
(adj) resilient, springy
Location Placed: Raglan Road restaurant, Downtown Disney, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/6/11 at 7:40pm
Status: FOUND!!





Bouncy certainly describes the entertainment we saw while we were at Raglan Road in Downtown Disney. There were 3 very spectacular Irish dancers that performed for us as well as a band playing music from Ireland. And it certainly didn't hurt that the cheesy beer soup was great as well!

FOUND: June 8 - 6:23p
"I found #206-Bouncy, at my job! I work at Raglan Road in Downtown Disney, and your crane made my night-thanks!"
I got this email while playing mini-golf at another one of the crane release locations! I was super excited to hear that another crane found its way to a deserving person.

205. Animated

Definition:
(adj) full of life or excited
Location Placed: Tower of Terror, Hollywood Studios, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/6/11 at 9:31am





The Tower of Terror certainly inspires fear, at least in me. I had a lovely look around the gift shop rather than actually ride it. I particularly was fond of the "check-in area," which looked pretty realistic. Despite this, my travel companions didn't want to see whether or not we could switch rooms to get into the tower.

204. High-spirited

204. High-spirited
Definition:
(adj) joyously unrestrained
Location Placed: The Boardwalk Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/6/11 at 2:50pm





The lobby of our hotel was quite glorious. They really did capture the old-school look of the boardwalks at the beaches, from what I've seen. It had a sort of older feel and the music they played was wonderful (see: big band.) You couldn't help but leave each morning and come back each evening in high-spirits.

203. Lighthearted

(adj) cheerful and carefree

202. Indulgence

202. Indulgence
Definition:
(n) a luxury
Location Placed: Animal Kingdom Lodge, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/5/11 at 7:28pm





I think the greatest indulgence I had while on vacation was a dessert with every meal! Thanks to the type of Disney meal plan we had, it was included. Very dangerous and certainly not the norm for me. A very pleasant indulgence all the way though!
