Tuesday 13th of January
We got to Vista Way welcome centre around 9:30 am and lined up outside the main gate entrance. It was unbelievable cold and I was exhausted by the time we got there. I think we waited about an hour before a lady came and got us and we made our way to the main office where we checked in. I had my Disney folder ready which contained all my important documents in it that we were to present during check-in. We had our photos taken from our housing ID's and it was ready and given to us right away and we were also given our Visa prepaid card. Just then my roommates Lily, Bec, Nichola, Lauren and Hannah arrived. I ran up to them and gave them a big hug. That's when I met them for the first time after talking to them for months online. It was such an exciting feeling that I was gonna be living with these girls. After all the Check-in, there was a bus waiting for us to take us to our apartment! As soon as we got to our apartment Chatham Square we had to drag all our luggage up the stairs to our apartment, as our apartment was at the very top floor and there was no elevator, so that was a mission! We were so ecstatic to be in our apartment our new home for the next six months to possibly a year! Our apartment was huge gorgeous. Reminded me of the Tauranga house back in New Zealand. It was a bit similar to that, except it didn't have a garage where you can create your own office or park your car. It was a two bedroom apartment with a massive lounge, Kitchen and we had two fridges yay! The bedrooms were pretty big. Lauren Me and Hannah share a room and Nichola, Lily and Bec share the other. I got the single bed which I absolutely love and our walk in closet was huge!. It was like another room itself, perfect for skyping and our bathroom was huge. All I wanted to do at that time was take a shower and sleep for as long as I can, but my roommates would not let me sleep. That evening we made our first trip to the famous Walmart! As we had to buy so many items for our apartment. I think we did like four carts worth of shopping. We took a taxi back as we could not carry all those items on the bus with us. It's awesome that the buses are free for all the CP's it takes us to work, supermarkets, mall, Disney parks, resorts, post office. Only if Auckland transport was like that! how cool would that be? All we have to do is show our housing ID to get on the bus.

Finally, we were home and I was able to slip into a coma for good long hours. I think I slept from about 5 pm right through to the next day till 7 in the morning. Well, that was my Check in day! Hopefully, you guys have not given up on me! There is more to come! Stay tuned!
Have a magical day
