Home for a weekend

Lots of new people are checking in but I have not really met anybody because I am working so much. I have not seen any new Cp's in my area.....it makes me sad because I am really missing everyone from L-square from Fall.

I went home this past weekend and it was definitely nice to see my family and a few select friends. I miss everyone like stinkin' crazy. I went to my home church for the first time since I came to Disney and it was amazing. Anthony Evans Jr. led worship (pretty cool that he was there when I was there) and the message that my pastor gave on peace was pretty awesome too.

Well, talk to y'all later!

New people!!!! :)

GAHHHHH! I am seeing a lot of new people around the Chatham Square complex!!! Can't wait to meet new people and make some more lifelong friends here, like I did for Fall 2010!

If we have not met yet, COME TALK TO ME! :) I loveeee new friends!

New Year

This year: No resolutions. Only setting goals throughout the year, rather than only at the beginning of the year. I think that if you only set "resolutions" at the beginning of the year, you are more likely to not follow through with them. The only thing that I am setting at the beginning of the year, is to try to do something new every single day of the year! I am going to try to log them and share them at the end of every month. Hopefully this goes throughout the year. I think this will be a good way to experience a lot of new things, if I consciously write them down and think about it! :)

And as always, I set a "reading goal" every year. This year, my goal is 24 books. I will also be logging those as well. It will be about 2 books a month, so hopefully I can keep up with that.

Hope everyone is well. I am all moved into my one bedroom apartment in Chatham Square and I have continued working in Liberty Square in my extension.

Have a wonderful week y'all!

Holiday madness begins

So my trip home was pretty good. I got George to cover my shift on Monday so that I could stay home all the way through Tuesday! :) I got to be home for almost 5 days and it felt good to be refreshed and ready to go back to work for the holiday season.

They are already starting to work me like crazy for the holidays and we are still not "officially" in the season yet. Plus, today, I am deployed for one day to Downtown Disney, at D-Street/TrenD. I have never even been to these stores so this will be an interesting experience. And then next week, I am working over 10 hours, nearly every single day.

However, this week also, my best friend, her husband, daughter, and her daughter's godmother are all coming to visit me here at Disney so we are going to spend 2 very fun-filled days in the parks. It will be Josh and Leilani's first time at Magic Kingdom so I am pumped! :) It will be so much fun.

Well, off to clean. We have inspections on Monday.

Love y'all!

Updates

I tell you, I am the WORST blogger in the entire world!

Well here is a QUICK update because I have stuff to do today but I wanted to inform y'all that I officially applied to some professional internships. I applied for Youth Events Facilitator, College and International Housing-Event Planner, Cast Service Center Specialist, and Project Support-Aulani Resort and Spa. I already got turned down for my top choice AND the one that I was the most qualified for (Youth Events Facilitator) so that was a great disappointment.

I will hopefully keep y'all updated on how the interviews go and such.

The Halloween Parties are still in full swing.

Greg is coming up here in a week to celebrate his birthday with me up here in Disney World! :) Yayyyy!!! We are staying at a nicer hotel than normal and we are likely going to eat at either Cape May Cafe or Chef Mickeys for his dinner! We are also planning on going to the Food and Wine festival at Epcot (I have already been once this season).

Well, that's all for now.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Hello friends!

This is just a quick note to share with you about the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSH).

I have attended both as a guest and as a cast member and I must say, so far, this is by far the best thing that I have done since I have been here! :)

As a guest, I got to experience and trick or treating and such and take pictures with a lot of the characters and just have some fun. PLUS, I rode Dumbo for the FIRST TIME EVER on that night!!!! :)

As a cast member, the night I worked, I have the best memories from. In particular of these two kids, Jackson and Ella. They were so cute and they just wanted to play with me. We played a toss game, tag, and duck duck goose. It was so much fun and I will always remember them because they were just so cute and innocent and their parents were really great too. I love the MNSSH party because I can really get more into my role and definitely play the part! It was such a magical moment for me and I loved it!

Well, that's all for now. Just wanted to share that real quick!

Love y'all!

Busy busy busy

Hello friends! My how long it has been. Sorry I have not updated in awhile. Things are just crazy with my work schedule and such.

I have just been working and hanging out. I went to Night of Joy and it was fun but we left early due to crazy crowds and rain.

I am off today but I go back to work tomorrow for three more days before another day off. I have discovered that I like stock shifts better than I like cashier shifts so I will be requesting to work more of those instead. It's self-paced and I can listen to my Ipod and so that's cool.

Well, talk more later!!!

My days off and Training

(Ashley and I at Epcot)

Hello everyone!!! I had yesterday and today off so I spent the majority of today cleaning and then I think I am headed out to Typhoon Lagoon for a bit to soak up some sunshine! :) I work for like 9 days straight after today so I am gonna be exhausted.

I went to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios in the past few days to spend some time with my roomies Amber and Ashley. I have not gotten to go anywhere with Rachel yet because she works a lot...boo :( But last night we watched "The Last Song" together and The Emmy's so that was fun!

I loved Taylor Swift's new video for "Mine" that just came out. It's on CMT all the time!!!! <3>

Oh, and I have two more days of training (In Costume) until I am able to be by myself on the registers! I am so nervous to be by myself because their standards are so freakin' high! Hopefully I do ok!

Comment on here if there is anything you would like me to talk about throughout my experience and also if there is anything you would like me to Vlog about!

Byeeee :)

Traditions day!

Good morning!!!!!

It is a rainy day but it is still gonna be a great one! Today is TRADITIONS! I have the later session at 2pm which means I have to be at the bus at 12:45! I am so happy to have the later session because all of my roomies had the earlier one and my roommate was up at like 4am to get ready and such. Glad that was not me! I just finished showering and putting my makeup on and I pressed my "professional" clothes and now i am just waiting for my hair to dry, so while I am doing that, I am updating this and I am going to try to edit my vlog from the first couple of days.

Check-in and casting went very smoothly for the most part. I found out that I am in Magic Kingdom in Liberty Square and I do not have a specific store. I will be moving between all of them. That's okay with me, as long as I get to work in the Christmas store the most! That is what I requested and I am so excited that I got the area. :)

Have a great day everyone!

3 more days!

3. more. days!!!!!

Oh my goodness. This is so surreal! I don't even know how to react right now because it's unbelievable that it's really almost here! I am finishing my packing today and tomorrow and then on Saturday, it is my brother's sweet 16 birthday party and then that night I am packing up both my car and my boyfriend's car. Then at about 8am on Sunday morning, it's time to drive to DISNEYYYYY! We are going to spend the day in the parks! :)

I am also buying my Universal season pass today so that I can go there anytime I want and I can go see Harry Potter! YAY!!!!!

I am way to excited!!!
