Off to Neverland!


Things have become pretty routine here in Disney. Well, as routine as Disney can be at least....On the work front, I've worked with some old and new characters alike: Marie, who you can find in France, Jiminy over at Rafiki's Planet Watch, and I've started spending a lot more time with the boss himself, Mickey Mouse!
I also started working at dining locations. My first one that I have done is the Garden Grill at The Land in EPCOT. It is a little difficult to walk around all that food and know you cannot eat it; but the restaurants do make for some great character/guest interaction.




Of course, I am still spending much of my free time in the parks.

On Friday after work, I headed over to toontown to say bye to it before it closes for the new Fantasyland Expansion to start opening next year.




I also have been working on my list of meeting all the characters I can and going on all the attractions; before it starts to get too busy in March. Today's conquest was finding the Genie, and it was a success! :)

Until next time...."Whose the leader of the pack thats made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E"

Only at Disney...

Only at Disney World will you find...
*Jiminy Cricket, Pocahontas , Rafiki, and their attendants playing tag with a leaf
*a cricket getting told that he has made someone's dreams and wishes come true
*a Duck insisting over and over again that he is NUMBER ONE!
*Pinocchio riding on a train to Main Street USA with Jasmine and Aladdin


Did I mention I love my job?

"Disney World- Where everyone screams at the sight of a mouse"

So, it has been awhile since I have updated. Since last time, my days have been filled with tour groups, little kids, roommates, characters, and pixie dust.

Work has been getting easier as I get accustomed to each new place and role, but there are still many that I do not know. Pinocchio has become easily one of my favorites to hang out with, and Minnie Mouse has become pretty easy to work with too from the amount I have been with her. Some of the others that I have either worked with already or are coming up include Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Marie (from Aristocats), and Jiminy Cricket.
Outside of work, exploring Disney has not become old whatsover. There is always something new to check out. One day, the parks were pretty busy so my roommate Kirsten and I spent the day exploring some of the resorts: Grand Floridian, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Port Orleans- Riverside. Another day, I spent character hunting, and saw...quite a few characters. One of the best interactions of that day was Tiana and Naveen, who ended up fist pumping with Allison and me.

Many days end with a viewing of the new castle show and Wishes, which never seizes to remind us how magical our workplace is.
