You took the words right out of my mouth

Hello!

So since Sunday not a lot has happened, granted its been 4 days. However things did happen and some were good and some were not.

I had some very magical guests who I had to run around after doing a guest recovery/magical moment for them, and spent a easy $400 on them. I love doing magical moments however not in this instance, and no one else wanted to do it for them either, and I just happened to become involved by asking if our guests needed a "walk" to the Hawaii longhouse and they needed it for Tokelou and that was how I was involved. Long story short the guests ended up getting a fireworks cruise, 4 friendship bracelets, 4 charms, champagne, birthday cards from the mice and roughly 15 balloons. After that shift myself, Calyn and Emma went and watched Wishes from The Point as we all needed some magic in our lives again - we all had a bad day.

The next day however I had a very magical family who I couldn't get enough of.

I was checking in a family (whose Dad was Australian also) I bonded with their son Prince Charming* who was celebrating turning 5 the next day, we were talking and I was showing him on the MK map where he could meet all these different characters when he asked where he could find Peter Pan! Now I hadn't told him Peter Pan was my favourite character so when I did he got really excited and he crowed with me. I showed him on the Hollywood Studios map where he could meet Sorcerer Mickey and when I closed the map and he saw Darth Vader on the front he got really excited and said that he was one of his favourite characters.

After talking to Prince Charming I spoke to his Dad who said he was going to try and get him into JTA on Wednesday because it is something that Prince Charming would love to do as he is a big fan. When Prince Charming found out I worked at JTA and that Darth Vader and his stormtroopers were my best friends, he decided he was going to be my best friend and was asking me all about them, he even told me he was going to have lunch with Darth!

After hearing all this and talking to him, I knew I just had to do something for him and his family! As soon as the family left (they tried to tip me, it was very magical) I rang my best friends at JTA and spoke to them and I got Prince Charming signed into our 10:10am show and a spot in our 2:40pm Meet and Greet and a lightsaber. I can't wait to see the family tomorrow to find out how it all went.

After Monday it was time for 2 days off, which were spent at Hollywood Studios with Alison. Pictures are below. :)

Stay Magical

Let's never grow up!

Hello!

Good morning! I think I have caught you all up on what's been going on so far. 4td post for September which I think makes up for the lack of posts in August :/

So what's new? This week I was trained on kerbside at work, before having 3 days off. I didn't really do much, just watch Season 8 of Greys Anatomy on Netflix. Nothing to exciting until yesterday. I bet you're wondering what happened yesterday. Well it was super magical and here is the story!

I had to go to Magic Kingdom with Allison yesterday so she could see where she has to go to get to her workplace tomorrow at the Bippity Bobbity Boutique (BBB) as she is a Fairy Godmother In Training (FGIT) at Downtown Disney (DTD). So we walked through the utildoors and found where she has to go so then we went up into MK itself and saw my good friend Minnie Mouse and I was wearing my Mickey shirt that he wears at that location so her and Mickey were so excited to see it!

Then we went out and saw the Mayor of Magic Kingdom and got a photo before we strolled over to Peter Pan, when we got there though only his character attendant was there as Peter was over at the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It (MISICI) parade, so we waited and we were the only ones there as his first scheduled meet and greet was for 12pm but he was doing an earlier one because something he normally did at the time was cancelled, so I was very excited.

So he eventually came over and because it was just me and Allison there he spent a good 5 minutes with me and we spoke about our pesky shadows, and how there are no girls in Neverland except Wendy because she's their mother, but then he asked if he should let girls come to Neverland and I said yes and then he said I could join but only me, and I had to follow 3 directions:

1. Never Grow Up
2. I have to dress up as an animal and he said I could be a platypus
3. Take orders from him, but he would be nice to me.

Then we took some photos, before we took a Tiger Lily photo where we sit down and then he crowed! It was very MAGICAL!

After that our roommate who is very good friends with the mice came and joined us on her lunch break and we watched the end of MISICI before we watched Dream Along with Mickey (DAWM) and it was magical because it didn't get cancelled. After DAWM Allison and I said farewell to our roommate before we went and got Pixie Dusted. Once that was down we ventured back down the utildoors for lunch and in the Mousecateria there sitting across from me where some very special people - Prince Phillip, Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbells sister Periwinkle (she is new) and PETER PAN!

I HAD LUNCH ACROSS FROM PETER PAN!

Then I went to work and because it was busy they got me to start 45 minutes early, which I didn't mind, and then before I knew it was time to bank out and head home.

That's really all for now.

Until next time,
Stay Magical.

Mickey and I match!

Home is where the heart is.

Hello there!

So this is just a quick post about my shift today at JTA. I got to go back home to ICON just for the night and I got to work with Dustin as he was closing TA coordinator, DVC (David Van Cleve) who was closing coordinator for Idol, Melanie and Manuel. It was a perfect team to be closing with and I was super excited when I discovered it was all of them who I would get to work with!

When I got to studios I was a little early for my shift so I went and hung out with Sweetums for an hour and also got to see Zak and Fransisco while I was there which was exciting as I hadn't seen either of them in a while, then it was off to clock in. I got rotation which I knew I would get as it was 1:45pm, I went and got to watch the remainder of the first show, and just as the second show started at 2:20pm we had a sudden downpour of rain which meant the show was cancelled and it turned into a Meet and Greet! I had been there less than an hour and I was heading up to the top of Star Tours with my best friends! I WAS EXCITED! Best start to a shift ever!

It was pretty much very standard from there on out and before I knew it, it was 8pm and time to clock out. I had a super fun day an it was exciting to go home to the dark side after being away for so long. I managed to snap a few photos which I will post below.

Until next time,
Stay Magical

Hello!

So it's been a while since my last post. Again its because I have been busy working but also from laziness. I apologize. Not a lot has really happened work wise, it's really the same old thing day in day out, with random bits of stuff happening here and there.

This week on Thursday I went to Blizzard Beach with Allen in the morning before I went to Magic Kingdom for the night with Alison. It was a lot of fun and we both enjoyed our night. Magic Kingdom has been transformed with Halloween decorations which is awesome as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) starts on the 11th.

Below are our photos from that day.
