This morning Arikka and I woke up bright and early because all of us Miss America contestants left for Disney World at 7:45am!!
Our day was filled with fun and excitement. When we first arrived, we were all filmed walked down Main Street.
It really was the most surreal feeling to be in Disney World with cameras following us around all day.. I felt as if we were famous!
We each were interviewed on camera for a few minutes, then we were able to go on rides! My group had a lot of fun going on the Teacups, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain,
Splash Mountain, the Haunted Mansion, the Peter Pan ride, and the Buzz Lightyear ride. We even had to go on some rides twice because we weren't suppose to raise our hands in the air on camera, and a few of us were so excited that we forgot!
We left Disney World around 3pm and had about an hour to get ready for our eventful evening! First, we were able to stop by and visit our teens. Logan and I were able to spend a little bit of time together and also go around to collect some gifts from sponsors.
It was so nice to see her and let her know how proud I am of her. Tonight all of the Miss America contestants went to David Siegel’s home (the owner of Westgate Resorts) for a coctail party to raise money for the Miss America Organization. His mansion is unbelievable!
Golf Carts came to pick us up to bring us to the front door, again I felt like I was famous! There were so many food vendors in the back yard giving out so many different kinds of amazing appetizers.. they were all so delicious!! We spent time socializing with the guests, encouraging participation in the silent auction, and dancing the night away! We were even able to hang out with Caressa, Miss America!! Mr. Siegel donated 25,000 to the Miss America Organization! It was such an exciting night!
By the end of the night we were all extremely exhausted!
