Crying in Mellina’s Pool

Date: 7/27/2019

I was in a Disney World restaurant with my dad. I saw a giant balloon of what looked like Sloth’s head (from The Goonies), but when I made my dad chase after it to get a look at it, it turned out to be another actor. My dad sat down at a table, but I continued walking around the restaurant and then I realized that I had joined the mini parade they had for the people eating. I looked back and saw that my dad was sitting next to Will Smith and his family. I mouthed to my dad that he was sitting next to him, and I tried to take a picture. I noticed that there were a lot of other celebrities eating in the restaurant because it was a Hollywood/movie-themed restaurant. I was at Mellina’s house in the pool, and we were watching her home videos on a projector that was on the back wall of the house. There was a video of her playing with a little girl, and we expected it to be me [because we were friends in kindergarten in real life], but when the little girl turned around, it was Nicole. I was confused because I knew she’s older than us, and in in the video they were the same age. I still thought it was so cute that I started crying (a little too much). Then the video turned into a slideshow of all the people she’s been friends with over the years. The slideshow included pictures of Taylor Schreuder and Lauren from when they were in preschool [which is when I met them both in real life]. Then a picture of me came up and a video of a girl dancing, and I said “I already know that’s Renee just by the way she is dancing,” and we laughed.
