Living the dream

Honestly, this program is everything I thought it would be, and more. As im coming up on my one month anniversary of being here (ALREADY!!), im realizing how lucky and blessed I am to be here. This place is truly so incredible.

Disney honestly is the happiest place on earth. And no one can tell me otherwise.

I have so much fun when I go into work. The number of families i come into contact with everyday, and the opportunities I have to make their vacation a great one, just with a simple smile, blowing bubbles or talking with them, is the best feeling in the world.

I never want to go home.

Im so tempted to extend... every fiber of my being wants to extend and be a character attendant or in entertainment.... but with a boyfriend, family and horse back home... i just dont think I can. But more than anything, I wish I could just stay here through the summer <3

So for now, I need to enjoy every moment, as I am everyday. Every day is so amazing here. Whether its playing in the parks or working. Even when I play in the parks as a guest, i cant help but want to wish people with buttons on a happy birthday or happy anniversary. I find myself giving people directions if i see they are lost, even when im not working. today a random guest came up to me (i was dressed completly normal and not working) and he asked me where the bathrooms where. and of course i put on my cheery voice and used the disney point to direct him... and i think i startled him haha it was great :) And this evening, i was in a store that im familiar with and someone was looking for photo albums, and i showed them exactly where to go... i think i have a problem... lol

a "cast member even when not working" problem. but i guess theres nothing wrong with that :) I enjoy every minute of it <3

for the next 3 days im off work... i plan to spend most of the time in the parks... the princes and princess' will be out for Valentines day, i cant wait to take pics <3 It will be a good 3 day weekend for meeee

Settling In

Greetings Followers!!!

Yes, I AM still alive! :) Still loving the Disney life. It is crazy busy, but oh so worth it. Things are wonderful here...

I did finally EARN my EARS. only took me 3 days, so ive been a normal employee (or a muppet as they like to call us) for a few days now :) Orientation was quiet boring, besides the awesome park tour. Lots of E-learning (on a comp) which seemed to last forever. But after that one day, it was on the job training from there! I am absolutely LOVING my job at Muppets. We rotate jobs every 45 min or so, so you never have to do the same thing for too long. It makes the time go by soooo fast! Sometimes im spieling in preshow and getting everything ready, and other times i get to sit in the theater and spiel occasionally. Sometimes I work exit where I simply get the 3D glasses, and other times i get to sit out front and greet guests! Its simply amazing!

My shifts have been nice and short too, with an occasional longer shift. But majorly, they are nice 6 hour shifts! and of course, I have spent EVERY single free day in the parks. I have been to Magic Kingdom 2 times, Epcot once, Animal Kingdom once, and Hollywood Studios a billion times since i work there, but only once to "play". I have 2 days in a row off, so Im thinking about goin to Hollywood Studios to get to know the place better!

There was already a really cool housing event, a "winter wonderland" dance. There were sooo many people there, it was ridiculous! this week is grocery bingo, and next week they are having another dance for Valentines day! I love all the activities they do for us CP's, they honestly treat us soooo well!!!

My roomates are still amazing, I feel so lucky to have gotten such awesome girls to live with for these 4 months!!! I am still trying to branch out and meet more people though, because alot of the time, my roomies all work on different days so we cant do much together very often, so I need more people to play in the parks with me :)

So life is still good in paradise <3 im trying to enjoy everyday, because i cant believe im already 2 weeks in.... I know its going to fly, so im going to take advantage of every moment I have on this program <3

Well thats about it for new stuff going on, ill continue to keep you all updated!

Thanks for reading everyone <3
