1 month review

So I've been here an entire month!!!!!! That's sooo hard to believe. But I'm still loving it. I love my job, I love most of the people, I love my days off I just love this place.

Since I don't have much new to report I figure I'd do a little bit of a photo update... an up till now 1 month review.




The all important name tag.



Me and my idol. This was the first character picture I got in the parks and my favourite so far. I love Peter Pan so I was super excited to get this one



Our first night before we had access to the parks we went to the Poly and watched fireworks from the beach. It was magical.




My first upside down roller coaster EVER! And i lovedddddddddddddd it. This is by far one of my favourite roller coasters/rides at Disney.




This is on expedition everest. It's my second favourite ride at Disney. It's really cool and you can actually see all the parks at one time at the top of it. It's pretty cool.




I just love this one of Alex, Laurie, Synthia and I because they're all scared and I'm laughing.

My day off on Wednesday was fantastic. Went to AK in the morning with Alex and two of her roomies Synthia and Laurie. We had a lot of fun. Went on the safari, dinosaur and everest. Then we went to Applebees. It was horrible the food itself wasn't all that bad but it was the service that was aboslutely HORRRIBLE!!!!!
After applebees was time for naps before going to MK. MK was fun just went on a couple of rides. Including the tea cup ride- sooo amazing. I love the tea cup ride. We also went to cast connection (the cheap merch place). Alex and I got matching sweatshirts that say 2011 and what not. They're actually really nice. Regularly about $50 got them for $10. I also got a watch for $8. And a couple other things but those were my 2 favs of the day.

I've also discovered that although custodial is the easiest job by far it is possibly the worst as well because at times we are sooooo hard working. Yesterday I had pan zone which is super easy 9 trash cans that aren't very busy. Then around 930 I get a call saying I'm going to be picking up it's a small world. Which is bad either as it's about 13 cans. Then as I'm doing a pre-close trash run I get a call saying that there's a code V in the line for it's a small world. I look all through it and nothing so I start to leave but I get another call that there's a code yellow on one of the boats. So I have to wait for that boat to go all the way around and then clean it up. Which honestly wasn't all that bad. But then I'm on my way to go dump trash and I get a call to come sign back in (in order for me to pick up small world they had to bump me out of pan so i could pick them up together). So I say I will after dumping trash. Then I get another call from a different person (my two managers) asking if I'm going to come push water. I explain that I've just done a false code V, a code yellow, a trash run and need to sign back in but I'll be right there. Then I get yet another call from the first person (my coordinator) telling me to self break.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that they all wanted me to do a million different things all at once and they weren't communicating with each other. which was beyond frusterating. At one point I didn't even want to answer my radio anymore. The thing was driving me insane. As well apparently there's this secret trash can in the pan line that isn't on our list of cans. So at the end of the night a friend and a coordinator showed it to me and wouldn't you know it's overflowing. But luckily I didn't get in trouble because I honestly didn't know it existed and since it wasn't on the list its really not my fault.

I work again today but I think it's only a 7 hour shift so not bad. Currently though I'm waiting for a phone call telling me whether I'll be going to Seattle in August. And man is the wait killing me. 23 more minutes... I just need to know either way.

After my phone call I'll grab some food run to walgreens and go for a swim. This is th part of my life that makes the sore feet, long hours and lack of sleep all worth while.

Life's been pretty great lately.
Sunday's shift was a joke. So easy and I literally did nothing. Custodial is honestly such an amazing position. Yes there are times we're out in the boiling sun and dealing with vomit and pee and whatever else but we get soo much free time and slack to do what we want. As well all the CPs are amazing most of us get along great and it's such an amazing experience.

Monday's shift I don't reeally remember I did fantasyland and most of the CPs were over in tomorrow land so that stunk. But the beginning of my shift started with Basics training which was a 2 hour course on the Disney Basics. It was pretty straight forward and didn't really involved any work. I actually don't tend to mind training because you get paid for it and often you just sit in a classroom doing nothing.

After work I went out with Alex (x2) and Jackie(Male Alex's "friend"). We went to steak and shake at 2am. Sat there for a couple of hours then drove around Disney property listening to music until after 4am. Now you might be asking if that was a wise choice on my part and yes, yes it was. This program is so short and you need to live it up while you can. Yes it meant I was super tired toda, it also meant i got very little done this morning because I was sleeping but that's okay with me.

Today's shift I was in Tomorrowland and the CPs were split pretty evenly which was cool. I had launching pad which sucks on nights when the park closes early because it stays open the entire time. On nights the park closes late it eventually closes and people stop buying food. But today I'd do a trash run with a 6 liner and then just have to do another. It was honestly never ending. However, I did get another great service card which was cool. My manager liked that I was using a 6 liner for launching pad rather than a double dolley.

Work ended at 10 which was super nice because it meant I was home around 11. Was able to call my ma on the bus ride home and then was able to go in the pool for a couple hours before it closed. Tomorrow is my day off and I think female Alex wants to go to AK, then in the afternoon I'm going to hit up MK because there's a safety appreciation thing for custodial members where I get free food. Then at night if I'd like there's a movie playing at Philhar for fantasyland attractions and east custodial. Which involves more free stuff. But who knows here days are unpredictable and you can plan and plan and plan but things change.

I just got my schedule for next week and I have two days off!!! I'm excited to have two days off.. the only down fall is that I'm on restrooms almost everyday as well I have one day shift.. bah!! Now day shifts aren't bad because it means I'm not closing but it means my system gets all out of wack because then I go back to closing. I just wish i'd stay at closing. Closing isn't bad heck half the time I get to ER.I got to ER last night which was nice about an hour early but man did I appreciate it!!! It wasn't that it was a long shift rather just a hot tiring one where I thought they were trying to kill me for part of it.

It started with me breaking people and tasking (like taking pics on fantasyland bridge). However, on my way to task my manager stopped me and asked me to do all the over flowing cans in speedway. Speedway had been dropped for most of the days so alll the cans were fulllll. I took out a double liner and had to bring it back to the avec every 2 trash cans. It took forever!!!!!!!! I didn't even finish when the person who got moved to speedway came back over 30 mins later. Granted I did get all but 3.

Then I got moved to launching pad after someone was done for the day. I was told by her that she had just done all the garbage... ya NO!!!!!! It was definitaly not done as most of the cans were at least half full when I went out there. So I took the 6 liner that is motor operated out (it's often used for this zone since it's a food zone). So I did that and then finally after being at work for 3 hours I got my lunch break which I was thankful for as I was a hot sweaty mess. Then after lunch my cans were full again so I did another 6 liner run. Then the zone was dead so I just wandered around and talked to people. Eventually I got moved to another zone and the busser from launch pad got trasher as well. I got moved to cosmics which is normally hell but the guy before me had just closed it out. I had to re close part of it as some people were still eating but it was okay.

I also got a package in the mail from my mumma! I had to sign some tax forms but she sent up some more tank tops for me(yay for doing laundry less). And she also sent some crystal light and my Emergen-C that I forgot at home. There were also Oreos which was the odd find in there but care packages are suppose to have cookies os it kind of makes sense. There was also money from my grandma (I think she's worried I'm not eating or getting paid enought...)

I also have been soaking up the sun everyday which is another reason why I love late shifts... most people would say you have all day to explore parks but me I say you have all day to swim. I like to save parks for my days off if I do it on a non-day off then I'm just wearing out my feet before I even start...

ER

I've decided that my favourite two letters in the world are ER. By ER I do not mean the long running hit T.V show, nor do I mean that place at the hospital. What I mean is Early Release. I love it.
Today i was put on Fantasylang Phillhar zone... it was pretty easy and overall pretty boring. I've decided I like tomorrowland better. Mostly because there's always something happening in the breka room but in Fantasy land it's always dead and boring, which makes breaks a little less fun and a lot more boring.
I got to push water today for the first time. Which is basically as it sounds using a squeegee to push water towards drains. A certain part of fantasyland is always roped off during fireworks due to debris and what not. The tops of all the roofs also have sprinkler systems that make them what incase anything is to fall so that there is not a fire. Which means that after fireworks the streets are full of puddles which is very unsafe and not very classy and magical.

After pushing water then closing i went over to our meeting area (we meet 30mins after park closes) and the closing manager asked if anyone wanted to be ERd and all but like 3 did so we got to go home early. Only 30 mins or so but hey beats another 30mins on my feet. (Which by the way are like so sore they're twitching and stuff right now).

On the way home we PACKED a bus. I was the last one on thankfully but it also meant I stood the entire way back which stunk but hey I was home before 1am so I'm trying not to complain toooo much.

My breaks and such at work were all weird which is why my feet hurt more than normal. I got my lunch after 1.5 hrs. then 1.5hrs after that my break so then I had 3.5 hrs of standing on my feet in a row. I figured it would of been 2. 2 2.5 to make it a bit more even but apparently not today.

This morning I didn't really do anything, I did laundry so now I have clean underwear once again! I also have clean tank tops. I went to walgreens as I was out of milk and craving it. It's a pretty cool store. My favourite part is a part where you can make your own flavoured pop. You take a traditional flavour like pepsi or coke and can put shots of lime, raspberry, cherry or vanilla. You could also mix and match these as much or as little as you want and mix and match like coke+spirte with 3 shots vanilla and 2 lime. For someone who is addicted to coke this is an amazing find for me. I put lots of lime and some vanilla in mine. Despite putting a TON of lime in the vanilla over powered it a bit so I'll have to work on my ratio throughout the summer.

Besides milk i bought a frozen pizza (part of which i had for lunch then dinner), klondike bars and KD. the pizza was my first frozen food since I've been here so I'm kinda proud about that. I'm also super excited about the klondike bars as they remind me of my grandma who always used to have a ton stocked up in her basement for when me and my sister and cousins came over. They are sooo yummy. Well worth the money.

Tomorrow I have my first 6 hr shift so that'll be fun (I hope/think) but it also means that I should get some sleep.

May all your wishes come true!!!!!!!!

This is a long one- you are warned

So Tuesday was yesterday.. I think! I'm really not quite sure anymore.

Monday night was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! I worked for 8hrs which as usual stunk. I was on gravity so basically right outside the ice cream shop. that was no fun because people spill their ice cream like crazy... so for the first half of my shift from like 3-6 I was cleaning up ice cream spills and doing trash and cleaning and just felt like I couldn't catch up. But after about 7 or 8 the Park got dead quite and I was running out of things to do and was suuuuuuuuper bored. It's like I can't win either super busy or super bored. I couldn't even pay a guest to talk to me it was that dead in the park.
After work Abbey and I were talking about McDonalds with a couple of our coworkers and got a hankering for it so she drove to McDonalds and that's where the true story begins. We were exhausted as it was close to 1am at this point so we were giggly and weren't making much sense when we ordered and our cashier was dancing and just making fun of us. We started chatting with him and he seemed like a nice guy. We got out food and sat down then he joined us while on his lunch break. Then after like 20 minutes or so I realize he is slowly hitting on both of us at once. And kept dropping hints that he like vanilla better than chocolate. Aka he likes white girls! (Abbey and I are both white girls). He eventually had to go to back to work so he wrote down his number and was like put it in your phone and message me etc. However, he had a different phone at the time cuz his was at his ex's house so he was using a friends wife's phone and it was super complicated so he gave us two numbers. We then ordered dessert (I got mine for free do to a technicality in a promotion.. muahahahahaha he upsized it though and put extra peanutbutter cups in my mcflurry!). He then kept hitting on us and was like text me anytime, call me. I look forward to hearing from you. Come in anytime I work this day this day this day.

It was really random and just super funny because I've talked to people about it since and apparently he hits on a lot of white girls that go in there. It's just funny because he's so obvious about it and not all that smooth. It was just odd and not what i was expecting at 1am on a monday night/tuesday morning. Eventually I got back home like 2 hrs after my shift and went to bed because I had to get up eaaaaaaaaaaaaarly in the morning.

The morning was our Social Security appointment. It was easy and apparently we can pick up our card in like 2-4 weeks. On our way back our bus broke down and we waited at teh side of teh road for like 40 minutes. It sucked!!!!!!!! But eventually another one came and a mechanic we got to the other side of the road so we could unload not into 4 lane highway traffic. Afterwards it was nap time for me. As I was exhausted from work and the early 5am wake up!

Alex (F- Female) and I went to Magic Kingdom at like 2 but first was a trip to Cast Connection and property control. I got a cute bandana for Katie's dog Bailey and a Piglet for myself. All for under $6. The Piglet is normally like $20 so I was excited to get it cheap.

At 6 we met up with Katie, Chris, Sheila, Ashley and Kyle. Sheila took the kids and went on kiddie rides while Katie, Chris (the kids dad), Alex and I did haunted mansion, space mountain, and splash mountain. Overall it was a really fun day. I did all 3 mountains at MK. Then we all met back up and watched Wishes. Which was as always super magical and amazing.

I went home and slept like a baby. It was beautiful.

Today I had yet another housing meeting! BAHHHH but things are finally figured out and I am super happy about them. (more info to come soon) Then I went to blizzard and met Katie, the kids, Sheila and Chris. We had lots of fun went on the family ride several times, did the racing water slides, and other water slides. I had soo much fun. It was also just great to hang out with Katie. Like this little refreshing burst of home here in Florida.

I left just as they were doing the lazy river. I went home to Vista hung up my bathin suit grabbed my camera and made a mad dash to the bus so that I could meet Alex (F) up. She had been there for a couple hours with another friend Kelly but Kelly left just as we got there. I went on Tower or Terror (ToT) for the first time ever. And LOVED LOVED it. It wasn't quite as scary as I had been expecting or as good but I had super high expectations for it so really anything would be a let down. Then we went on Rock n Rollercoaster. Which was amazing. It was my first upside down roller coaster ever! And I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!! We ended up going on twice today. We also saw the little mermaid show. I was slightly dissappointed with it. Mostly because I didn't like the face character of Ariel. But I'm just picky. We did the Narnia show which was the biggest dissapointment ever! However, we did get to see props from the movie which was cool since I love the narnia movies. We also learned how to draw mickey and wandered around the shops.

Overall I'm having a great time. I miss home but mostly things like my dogs, my tigger pillow, hanging out with my friends. I work for the next 6 days which should be fairly interesting. Sunday I work until 4am! Which means i won't get home until 5ish depending on how full the buses are. I'm going to try to get early release but if not maybe Abbey with drive me home!?!?!

The other major thinging happening right now is that my mom and sister booked their plane and then i booked their hotel for them to come visit me. This is exciting as we haven't really gone on any vacation in quite some time. It's also exciting because the 3 of us haven't spent that much time together these last two years now that neither my sister or I live at home. But the Armstrong women are taking over Disney and it will be epic!!!!!!!

Hopefully I'll post soon with new adventures and stories.
TTFN! TaTa For Now!

I got ER'd yesterday (Early Release!) The park was open till 2 but was dead by 130 so i started closing and was done by about 215 so my manager asked if I wanted to go and boy did I! Closing is basically emptying out all the liners (trash cans)into one liner and you have a second liner with neutralizer in it. Pour that into the liner you just emptied and swap with the one that just had neutralizer. So basically you just keep swapping liners. It sounds kind of complicated but really it's not and I'm just bad at explaining things. Overall my shift wasn't too bad yesterday. Was on the coolship zone- the one right next to space mountain zone.

When I got there all my cans were half full so it took me forever to do my first run+ I still had to find a bunch of the cans. I had to keep going back and forth from the dumpster. But apparently it's normal for the day shift to fall wayyyy behind or for them not to do their jobs properly. That's why they have all the youngins who are petrified of losing their job/being termed and losing the program closing so we actually do it right.

At night it's mostly all college program people which is nice because it means we're all around the same age and it's fun to just chat and what not.

This morning I had a meeting with housing to discuss a few things I had questions about. It was at 10am... BOOOOO which meant I only go about 5 hrs of sleep. I also have to leave for work in about an hour. I start at 315. but hopefully I'll see Katie walking around somewhere and get to see her for a while. I work until midnight then up bright and early to get my social security number. But on the upside I'm off the next two days so I can catch up on my sleep!

I am absolutely exhausted and it only gets worse from here! I worked until 2am last night. Got home around 3 took a shower (as I felt completely filthy). Then went to bed. My first shift alone wasn't bad. It took me waaaaaaay to long to do my first trash run but as I get to know the zones it'll get better. As the night went on I got faster at my run and had plenty of time to just wander around and sweep up things, talk to people etc.

With this job I don't think it's the work that's going to kill me, rather the hours and standing on my feet. Today I work until 3 which means I won't get home until 4. Which if you ask me SUCKS!!!!!! Luckily I have two days off coming up. However, next week I only have one day off.

My schedule for next week stinks. I'm not happy with it AT ALL. But it appears that most people only have one day off but out of everyone I've talked to I have the most hours and the latest days. Here's a look at my schedule ---




But I guess money is money. After all I do have rent, food, fun and a phone to pay for while here.

Let's start where I left off.
Yesterday went to Epcot in the afternoon/evening. Didn't really do much went on Test Track and walked around. Saw the Canadian movie at the Canadian pavillion and then the France one at the France pavillion. Also did the finding nemo ride it was cute and then did Crush Talk which is another interactive movie type thing similar to Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. It was cute. Finally we came home. I went out by the pool and talked to my mumma on the phone which was A) much needed and B) super amazing.

Today I did Typhoon with Female Alex first thing in the morning. We got done all the slides (minus one for me)and such even did the swimming with the sharks reef thing. I didn't do the the one slide because the one prior to that when it got to the end I got a lot of water into me and had difficulty breathing. Which SUCKED! So i just needed the next one to catch my breathe and feel normal. But overall a great experience. Then we did the wave pool, lazy river and wave pool.

Came home and Male Alex wasn't feeling so great so we went to check on him. He's sick we're hoping it's nothing serious and will go away fast. Then I went to the Commons (main office at a different complex) to discuss some things but they were closed so I just went to Walmart and spent half my paycheck getting groceries! But hopefully I'll be stocked up for a while. Got lots of yummy stuff like freezies, chips, bananas, oranges, celery, lettuce, dressing, relish, sausages, bagels... mmmmmmmm

Tonight I think I shall just hang by the pool and read a bit. But who knows what life holds! I'll probably go check on male alex again make sure he doesn't need anything (I'm so damn mothering!).

Tomorrow I work my first night time shift and shift alone (as I've said several times before) but wish me luck!!!

So today is my Saturday!!!!!! Aka this is my weekend right now. And as weekends go so far it's gone well. Went to Blizzard with some of the roomies and had fun this morning and I think we're going to Epcot after.
I finally finished my assessment which was cool and got extended yesterday because of the assessment running late. (Yay for more money!!!!!!)
Today is also the first pay day! And It seems like I've made more money than a lot of my roomies which is surprising but I did do traditions for 4.5hrs then worked 2 8 hr days on Friday Saturday of last week. Most people had two days off between traditions and their training.
I'm excited for yet dreading my Saturday shift. Up and working until past 2am... thats a VERY new thing for me but hopefully it won't be too bad. It's also the fist time I'll have my own zone which makes me nervous as I'll be solely responisble for either the bathrooms in that zone or all the garbage cans and streets in that zone. However, I still have my little red tag under my nametag that says "Earning my ears". It's basically a get out of jail free card for the next week or so. On Saturday I also get my Pins for pin trading. I can't wait to start pin trading. I have pins from my last time here but those aren't even in circulation anymore as they are the Tarzan ones.. i'm keeping them aside and not putting them out as I have the whole set.

Overall not much has been going on just training, assessment and playing at the parks. Theres been a little bit of drama here and there with friends and roomies and friends roomies. But I think those things are to be expected when everyone works and lives so closely together. It's very similar to a camp atmosphere as time seems to go sooooooooo slow yet soooo fast all at the same time. But I guess that's just another part of the magic.

So I really haven't done anything note worthy lately!
I've had two days of training. the frist was Streets training in which we learned how to do trash/recycle runs, sweep, bus tables, "open" (clean water fountains and such). We also did parade cleanup which was amazing we got to use these huge vaccumm things again.
Yesterday was another 8 hr training day we learned how to do bathrooms! Man for a theme park those bathrooms are ssssssssssupppper clean. It really emphasis that custodial is not about cleaning but rather maintaining cleanliness. Yeh there are a couple areas that got a little dirty but overall it wasn't bad. I didn't hate bathrooms as much as I thought I would.
When I came home last night I skyped with Jordan which made me happy. Being here really makes me miss my boys back home. But we had a nice chat talking abuot everything and anything.
This morning was my day to sleep in a bit but my roomis alarm kept going off so i didn't get to sleep as much as I wanted. That and my body is used to being up at the crack of dawn. So that kinda stunk! Now i'm just killing time before I have to go to work. (leave at 940 to be there for an 11 shift).
Busses suck. You will read it everywhere. It just takes forever to get anywhere and some of the bus drivers are crazy. But talk to people on the bus and you'll be making friends in no time.
I have my assessment today which makes me a little nervous as I dont know what to expect. As well it means soon i'll be on my own!!!! Bahhhh i don't even know where all the different zones are or where the trash is in zones. I also don't know how to use the tunnels all that well yet. They're sooo big and confusinggggg! But hopefully I'll figure it out sooooooooon.
Tomorrow I have a day off. I am undecided what I'm going to do. A couple of my roomies have the day off too. We were thinking Blizzard Beach but I also really want to do a park. Soooo I don't know. That and male Alex has the day off and I haven't seen him in forever!! So i kinda want to see him tomorrow at some point.
Friday I have another day off and in the morning i"m going to Typhoon with female alex before she has to go to work. That'll be fun so i'm excited. I haven't seen her in a while either... Everyone just has such different schedules and even if we're all home at the same time we're alll exhuasted and don't want to get out of our beds or off our couches.
Next week I have all night shifts.. I'm not sure whether I've said this before but I'm somewhat excited so we'll see! It just means readjusting my sleep cycle to them which could potentially be a pain in my butt!
Hopefully soon I'll have something exciting and fun to tell you!
Until then may all your dreams come true!

Man! I'm sorry everyone. It's been like 5 days since I last blogged. such things are unaccepatable. But if you were here you'd understand... it's crazy here. soo much training. Traditions, magic kingdom training, custodial training, online training. It's alll bahhhhhhhh so long and so much information.
there's been A LOT of ups and downs. And to be truthfully honest a lot of downs. I guess it's my anxiety coming out but I'm just nervous about starting and what to expect.
Today was my first day in costume. It was actually pretty chill and not bad at all! We spent the majority of the morning doing online modules! Be prepared you will do ALOT of them. So far I've done 10 or so. Some seem pointless and others even worse!!!!! Really just click next as fast as possible or at least that's pretty much what I did.
We also did some behind the scenes touring of MK. Which was cool like some of the cast break rooms, where all of the custodial areas/storage. It was pretty cool. I also got to do parade cleanup with these giant vaccum things which normally requires a lot of training first but they were short so me and two of the people i was training with (abbey and carlos) got to do a quick 2 minute demo then did it! It was trally cool you got to just use it like a lawnmower and pretend to run over geusts.
Tomorrow I start real training- streets. Tuesday is bathrooms. I'm not looking forward to bathrooms as much. But apparently I'm in East- so Tomorrow and Fantasy land. According to the map there are only like 4 or 5 bathroom locations between the two which means I've be floating between 2 or 3 bathrooms all day and jsut chilling out which doesn't sound TOOOO bad. But hey who knows.
I'm really here for the experience work is just a formality. I'll make the best of it. I'm also exciteed a bit for next week because I work nights which means not as much time out in the hotttt florida sun. But it means working until 2 or 3 am sometimes. So we'll see!

Time goes by sooooo fast here. I can't even believe it! Today (Wednesday) was a FANTASTIC, AMAZING day. But first i'll recap yesterday.
Long day of boring training. By long I mean like 3 hours which is not bad at all. Just paperwork and housing IDs. Then I took a nap (nap often and enjoy never feel guilty about them is one thing I've started to learn and embrace here). It was a fantastic nap woke up and went to Downtown Disney - DTD with male Alex and some other friends. We had a blast. Below is a pic of all us eating at T-Rex. Which is good but really just another Rain Forest Cafe (so priceyish $15-25 per meal salads were $15....).


Also I love DTD it was a lot of fun. We even did this Dance Party thing they have and of course not only were all the Canadian guests the most vocal and excited we also participated the most. there were 3 of us who went up and danced to the chacha slide. It was ridiculous but it's so nice at Disney you can just cut loose and have fun without fear of being judged.

It was then an early night back to the house for a good night sleep so that we could all go to TRADITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Traditions was good started off super boring- I almost fell asleep several times but once the real presenters took over it livened up a bit which was nice. It was mostly just company history, policy and guidelines but I felt I learned a fair bit of random information and some things I can take into other workplaces. I and all my roomates were super nervous about our outfits. I think this is one area everyone panic abouts but when it gets down to it it actually isn't that big of a deal. I didn't notice anyone looking at me to make sure I was Disney look. But then again Disney is very efficent and might of been able to do theses things without me noticing.

After a lot of presenting we went backstage at the Magic Kingdom - MK, which was a great experience and didn't really ruin the magic for me but I can see how it would forever--- headless woody anyone?

I went back to the apartment afterwards to grab some food, tylenol and a nap. I only ended up eating and sitting on facebook not nap for me. Which explains why I'm literally falling asleep as I write this. So i'm sorry for spelling errors. After attempted naps and such male Alex and I headed over to MK to meet female Alex. We went on a couple rides and I had a BLAST! I can't wait to go again.

The highlight thus far for me has go to be meeting PETER PAN at MK today. I was sooo giddy and excited when I saw him and it definitaly shows in the photo-



Eventually we got Ice Cream and headed home. The monorail had some problems but after the transit center we caught out bus back home at almost the perfect time. I came back home organized, called my grandma then went out to the pool area called my mom for over an hour and am now ready for bed after a large time facebooking.

Tomorrow- Animal Kingdom, Typhoon, dinner, sleep work!

Life has become fairly busy but pretty fun. Training in the mornings then afternoon/evening free. Tomorrow is traditions which i'm excited for but still not sure what i'm going to wear. BAH!! I think that's the hardest part- choosing what to wear.

Last night we went to the formal that was thrown for the CPS... it was a lot of fun. The theme was black/white- EVIL! So a lot of the villains were there. I got a couple photos. But the lineups were super long for the characters so I sadly did not get them all. After that went to a friends room and hung out there for a bit. Most days are pretty chill so far. Found out OFFICIALLY that i'll be working at Magic Kingdom which I do not mind at all!!!!

Below is a picture of me and Cinderella's evil step mother. The character was so great. Her and Cruella were definitaly the best two of the night.

I"M HERE! I"M HERE! I"M HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, that's right I've arrived safely in Orlando, Florida and have successfully checked in at Vista way. I'm living in Vista way which is exciting because 2 of my friends are here as well. Alot of the Western people are over at chatamn or patterson I believe. Alex^2 and I went to Wal-Mart got basic things some food, some towels. However, I did forget to get a blanket for my bed but luckily we were planning a trip over there tomorrow anyway so I'll get it then and tonight I shall just sleep under a beach towel I bought.

I've met two of my roomates so far Melissa and Julia. They both seem super nice still learning more about them. 2 other roomates have moved in but I have yet to meet them and our 6th and final roomate has yet to move in.

I should go be friendly by for now from Sunny Florida!
