Marching on out

Hello!

How is everything going? So it's been about a week since I last posted and a fair bit went on.

On Sunday the 18th I worked and after work I went to EPCOT with Melanie, Tara and Brian to watch Starship preform and to kill time before we headed to Zak's brothers birthday party at Dave and Busters. While at EPCOT Mel and Brian had some beer in America and England, and Brian got a slushie in America - he is a 4 year old I swear. We also went to Norway and rode the ride which we lined up for 20 minutes for, 30 seconds later we were off the ride (I wouldn't put it on your to do list). After EPCOT we left and went to Dave and Busters, it's basically a restaurant, bar and arcade games in one. It was a lot of FUN and I beat all the boys at their own games . . .

• Basketball
• NFL 
• Air Hockey
• Ski Ball
• Race Car Driving 

I then versed Matt (Zak's brother) and he beat me, but I was fine with it, because I beat all the others, and they all knew about it. I tend to gloat, and you have to admit, a 20 year old, 161cm girl beating 30+ year old, 175+cm boys at arcade games. We left just after 12am and it was off to bed before my early start the next morning. It was a great day and I'm glad I got to be a part of everything.

Tara and Brian - Every girls dream...

So now it is Monday and I had work, it was okay. It was at Muppet's which was good, Tara and I had a bad day and didn't really talk which sucked. That was about it.

Now we are up to Tuesday. This was a good day. It was my Saturday. I spent the day in bed watching Netflix and went to the pool. Then I was invited to happy hour, so I went to Applebees with Brian and he had his beer and I had my lemon water - YUM and he got steak and I got salad, and I got to watch him try and pick up the waitress. Good times! After happy hour we went to Florida Mall to do some shopping (6:30pm-ish by now) and we went to some sports stores - lame, but then we went to: 

• Forever 21
• Mac
• Cotton On 
• Disney Store
• Macy's
• Starbucks
• Victoria's Secret (He stayed outside for that) 
• Pandora

After we did all that he brought a stormtrooper t-shirt and it was off to Retro Room (it's a bar). Once again when we got there it was dead and full of old seedy men, as usual I was the youngest person there and one of about 6 females. Great times. Brian had beer again and I had water. To pass time we 'people watched' and made stories up about what they did, why they were here, whom they would leave with etc. Eventually we were joined by friends and we all played 'Draw Something' until 1am when we left, and it was off to bed again.

Wednesday. My Sunday. I spent the day sleeping and hanging out with my roommate Lauren, we went to Target to get some stuff for her and then we came home, ate lunch and napped. It was a perfect Sunday. 

Thursday, my last shift at Muppets until Saturday the 31st. I walked in to start my shift and was greeted with, you've been force extended from 2:30-8:30 to 2:30-9:30pm, yay. NOT. However my shift went by way to fast because I had the best luck ever and my best friend was there - SWEETUMS! From 2:30 - 7:00pm I was Exit where I collect the glasses after the show and stack them, or I tasked where I just help out where I'm needed which was mostly exit, which meant I got to see my friend a lot! 

 

Also Zak and Brian were there but I mostly saw Zak, who finally brought me a water gun, since Sweetums likes to have water fights. So I spent most of my shift doing my job and then when waiting for my que having water and wrestling fights with Sweetums. He thinks because he is bigger he will win, but I have the advantage here because I'm smaller I can hie in places he can't get. Unfortunately our fights didn't end well, because Sweetums cheats and would wrestle with me and he managed to hit me in the face at one stage, which neither of us realized until I went to the bathroom just before my shift ended and realized I had a black eye! Below is what it looked like the next day.

 

Without Make Up

With Make Up on

Sweetums is lucky he doesn't have to see me until the 31st. But he was very sorry and so was Zak, and when I visited them both yesterday they gave me big hugs, to make up for it, but Sweetums had better look out. 

 

After I finished work at 9:30 Jordy came and picked me up and took me to Walmart to do some grocery shopping, and then I came home and we got changed and went to TGIF for dinner at 11:30pm at night, we met up with Brandon, Priscilla and Tara and we had a blast. Jordy had a little bit too much to drink so I drove us back to his place in his Jeep, which is a manual, let me tell you, changing gears with my right hand instead of my left was more weird then the fact I was driving on the wrong side of the road! However in saying that, for my first time driving in the states, in a bigger car then I was used to, you should be proud. I stayed on the correct side of the road, even when turning left at traffic lights, I didn't stall the car (it was manual) and I owned it! We all stayed at Jordy's and then I brought us back at 7:30am Friday morning.

Now we are at Friday, my Monday. Finally after 2 weeks with Sweetums, I finally got to go back to Darth Vader and his Troopers, I think they missed me, and I missed them. So I had a good shift, I was tired from the night before with my 3 hours sleep, nothing too exciting or dramatic happened which was a plus and I didn't have any parents get cranky at me. It was all us CP's closing last night which was fun, and Tara and I are back to normal which is good. I missed her. Her Grandma and Dad came down to surprise her which was exciting because I was around to see it happen and that was about it.

And here we are at today. Saturday! I'm currently just relaxing in bed watching time pass by me as I wait to slowly start getting ready for work at 2:30. I hope that I have a good shift today and that it goes by fast.

Aside from all of that not much else is happening, sometime last week I drew a picture for Sweetums of him and me and he hung it up on his cork board which was nice of him, he did laugh when he saw himself though, but I think it looks good - I even gave him his torch and fire bucket! 

My Friend Sweetums and Me!

I'm officially on the board!

That's pretty much it for now. I am 1/4 of the way through my program with just 9 months and 11 days left to go. Only 4 days until my brother turns 14! STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LAST 14 YEARS HAVE GONE! And just trying to have as much fun as I can.

Until next time,
Stay Magical.

Dreams Come True

Hello!

So its been about 2 weeks since I last posted and to be honest not much has happened on the Disney front.

We had our inspections which we passed and got cookies as a reward. YAY free food. We are getting two new roommates today, so I will hopefully meet them before I go to work, otherwise I will meet them tonight when I finish if they are still awake.

We also got a new roomie Kristina last week and she is just like us which is awesome! No food stealing, or rule breaking or fights.

The other day I went to Magic Kingdom with Brandon and we saw Pan of course and had a great 10 minute chat and I forgot Brandon's name I was so overwhelmed. A regular thing when I meet Pan. We got lots of photos and then went to watch Dream Along With Mickey, but the show got cancelled so the characters came out for meet and greets, so I saw the Princesses with their Princes and show Peter and Wendy FINALLY! Best day ever, dreams really do come true at Disney.

Talking to Peter 

Pan: Who is your friend?
Me: That's ... er ... uh ... mm .. *nervous giggle*
Brandon: -.- I'm Brandon

Asking Peter if he could crow

Crowing with Peter 

Peter couldn't hear my crow so I had to do it again by myself.

Show Peter and Wendy - FINALLY

I have been working heaps at Muppets with Sweetums, but with the new procedures I don't get to hang out with him as much, so when we do we make the most of it with tickle fights and water fights. It's good fun. I had a good shift there last night and I hope tonight's is just as much fun. I won't lie though, I am kind of excited to Darth and his Troopers again on Saturday. Unfortunatly though because we have become a LOT busier we are doing two-tier shows which means Darth Maul also comes out; I do NOT like him one bit. He is a SCARY guy!!

Aside from all that not much is happening. I found out Ryan will be here for 4 days at the end of May which is good. Matt will be here from August to December. Danielle and her family get here in just under 2 weeks. So familiar faces are slowly coming over, none to visit me in particular but will stop by and say hi, which I'm excited for.

I'm also going to talk to Casting and discuss entertainment and see if I can be remeasured to try out and see what I can do. I know my chances are slim, but there is no harm in trying right, and my boss keeps telling me dreams come true.

Oh I also sent my brothers birthday present away yesterday so hopefully it gets to him before the 27th which is his birthday. Speaking of birthdays, Happy 21st Trent. Miss you kiddo. RIP.

Until next time.
Stay Magical.

Marching On In

Why Hello There!!

How are you going?

I'm going okay, I've had some bad and some good days since my last post, but let's not discuss those.

I FINALLY got my photos with Darth and his 2 stormtroopers also. :) 

I started my class and it seems like it will be a fun 8 weeks that will pass by quickly. I'll be sure to nab some sneaky photos of what we do.

We had "One More Disney Day" where Magic Kingdom stayed open from 6am Feb 29 though to 6am March 1st. I worked from 9:45am-3:45pm with my good friend Sweetums, and as soon as I finished it was off to the kingdom. I arrived just after 4pm and returned home just after 4am. Great fun when I had work with Darth at 9:45am the very same day. While there I saw some characters you would normally never see, and some you see all the time. It was a fun few hours there but I won't do it again anytime soon.

Aside from that not much has been going on, just working and now catching up on sleep, oh and I can't believe it is MARCH already! Where is time going?

Until next time,
Stay Magical

Hello!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been working lots and sleeping a lot because I got Tonsillitis again, and because doctors and medicine are so expensive over here, I've had to beat it on my own!

What's been happening I hear you ask?

Aside from working lots and then sleeping when I get the chance not much. A room mate moved out and now we are waiting to see if we get a new one, not sure if we will though, time will tell.

We have our first inspection on the 13th March. That will be fun...

In spare time, I've been visiting the parks and just seeing my friends. I went to Animal Kingdom for the first time, I can now see why I hadn't gone earlier, defiantly not one of my top parks to visit on my days off. I found it a little boring and very very small and crowded.

I've finally been allowed to hang out with my good friend Sweetums, I think he missed me because he gave me a present and the past 2 days he has been like a big bother and mucking around, although he did hide my shoe in a place I couldn't reach, so I hid his bucket where he couldn't see because he is so tall. I get to hang out with him once more this week and then it's back to my good friend Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers. I'm sure they have missed me as I have missed them, but I have enjoyed seeing Sweetums. :)

On Tuesday I begin my class, Exploring Disney Heritage which will be fun, it has a scavenger hunt, and I will also be attending an audition for the Star Wars Weekends to see if I can be friends with anyone in my height range. Fingers crossed, but I'm not going with the intention of getting a new friend, more just for the laughs of all the crazies I will see there.

Aside from all that, nothing has been going on. It's basically just the same old stuff just on a different day. Next post will have some new pictures hopefully.

Until then,
Stay Magical

A Whole New World

Hello.

Long time no talk, what's been going on?

For me, not a lot, just working ever Friday - Tuesday like I did at Dreamworld, so my body is used to that, sort of.

Once again, my body is being attacked by tonsillitis, so I received an early release (ER) yesterday and was given today off to recover before my next shift on Sunday. I'm pretty lucky. So my day will be much like my day on Thursday, spent in bed, sleeping, eating soup and drinking tea. Unfortunately the doctors over here will cost me $130 + including my medicine so I either go see them and not be able to eat for a week or I battle this with salt water, honey, lemon etc and I eat. I like the latter.

Also my roommates went out shopping yesterday and they got me a t-shirt that they created and it has Peter Pan on it and underneath it saws "Peter Pan makes my heart crow" (Which they came up with) and another Peter Pan pin, because they thought I needed a pick me up! Love them both to death. We also had a girls night in last night and ordered Chinese and watched the Sound of Music - which I went to sleep in the last 5 minutes off. Whoops. 

As you saw in my last post it was just photos with friends of mine so I will leave you with some more.

Until next time when I'm healthier hopefully.
Stay Magical
