Bucket List re-visited

So, when I first started preparing to move to Florida, I had come up with a bucket list of things I wanted to do before I left. At that point, that meant I wanted to accomplish these things between August 10 (when I moved in) and January 6 (when my program ended). Of course, I then stayed here so I've had more time. But I wanted to re-visit that bucket list to see what I've accomplished and what I haven't. So, hear goes...

1. Visit all four parks, two water parks, and Downtown Disney
• I was definitely able to accomplish this, no contest. I've been to all of these places more times than I can count.
2. Go to all four parks in one day
• This actually took me a while to accomplish, but I can check it off my list. I did not get around to it until the end of my college program. It was a day right before I headed home for a visit at the very beginning of 2012. I had some errands to run in all four parks, so I decided to do them in one day. I've done all four parks a couple times since.
3. See/Ride every attraction available.
• Well... I almost accomplished this one. I can still think of a few things that I have not done. Flights of Wonder at Animal Kingdom and Disney Jr. Live On Stage at Hollywood Studios are the two that come to mind. There may be more. I've done all the rides, it's the shows and other attractions that I have not done.
4. Work at least once in all four parks.
• Bahaha, not even close. My college program was in Hollywood Studios. My professional internship was outside of the parks (although we did hold an event at Typhoon Lagoon). And my current job is back at Hollywood Studios. So... that's a no...
5. Get autographs from as many characters as possible. 
• I'm definitely still working on this. I don't have as many as I'd like. But I've met many many characters. Some are actually rare ones that you can only meet during special events. But I still have room for more.
6. Try a Kitchen Sink from Beaches and Cream. 
• Yes, and it was delicious. I've actually done it twice, and would love to do it again!
7. Meet Push and Pipa
• I don't know if Pipa exists anymore, I don't hear much about her. But I've met Push on a few different occasions. The last one was the best. 
• Story time: I was discussing with two of my friends while walking through Magic Kingdom, that I love push, and would love to run into him. All of a sudden, Push was right there about 30 paces away. So, the three of us ran up to him. We did not want to interrupt his current interaction so we waited patiently. When he was finished, he turned around to us and before he said hello or anything said "you guys wreak of cast members!" We all just burst out laughing and said yes. He then said that he has a "cast member song and dance" that we have to do. So he starts playing "it's a small world" and dancing and tells us to dance too. So, we do, but we stop early. As soon as we stop, he yells at us because we stopped and made us keep going. When we were done, he asked if we'd been to the Big Top (which had just opened that week). We told him yes. He then asked if we had bought anything, we said no. He responded "of course you didn't. You work here, you can't afford it!" It was absolutely hysterical!
8. Eat a meal at every country in Epcot
• That's a big fat no! I don't have that kind of money. Food in Disney is not cheap. I've eated fast food in a few countries. But that's about it.
9. Have a drink at every country in Epcot
• And again, alcohol is not cheap... so no, I have not.
10. Partake in an activity called Drinking Around the World
• Again, I have not. But I did Eat Around the World at the Food and Wine festival this year!
11. Attend Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween
• Yes, I did it last year and this year and loved it!
12. Attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
• I did not do this during my college program. But this year, Nick bought me a ticket and we did go! It was fun, but I still prefer the Halloween party
13. Perform in the Candlelight Processional. If not perform, then attend when Whoopi Goldberg and/or Neil Patrick Harris are narrating.
• Last year, I was not a cast member early enough to be in the choir, but I did wind up attending NPH's narration of Candlelight. Whoopi unfortunately did not narrate last year. This year, I was selected to be in the choir, my first performance (which just so happens to be with NPH) is tomorrow. My second performance is on Friday, with Whoopi!
14. See a Cirque Du Soleil show at Downtown Disney.
• Still have not done this, still want to!
15. Ride Space Mountain with the lights on
• I've not had the opportunity to do this. However, I have ridden it with the work lights on for the TTA, which means there was more light in Space Mountain. I've also ridden TTA when the work lights were on in Space Mountain, so I've at least seen it with the lights on.
16. Swim in the gulf and the ocean
• Well, technically I have done this. But not in the way I had intended. I did definitely swim in the gulf. When I said swim in the ocean, I meant on a Florida beach. This I have not done yet. But I did go on a cruise in September and swam in the ocean in the Bahamas.
17. Travel to Miami for a mini-vacation
• Not yet, but I'd still like to at some point.
18. Visit Universal at least once, especially The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
• I have visited Islands of Adventure, but not Universal. However, Harry Potter is in Islands so I'm gonna say, yes, I have accomplished this!
19. Visit Bush Gardens
• I have not done this yet...
20. Visit Sea World
• Nor this one...
21. Visit House of Blues
• I've walked by it, does that count? No....
22. Have adventures with Nick and my other roommates!
• I definitely had some adventures with Nick and the other roommates, maybe not as many as I'd like, but at least some!

So, looking back and adding up: I've done about 10 out of the 22 things on my bucket list. So not so great as a whole. But the things I really wanted to do I did do. The ones I haven't done yet are the ones that weren't high on my priority list. So in conclusion, I'm going to say I've been relatively successful with my bucket list!
