"Just keep swimming"


Its spring break season and the parks are way crowded. I miss the days when I could walk right onto Space Mountain. But there is always something to do around here. Went to Typhoon the other morning and actually swam in a tank with fish and sharks. Probably won’t do that again, but, it was good doing something that scared me. One of my roommates and I also went to Raglan Road (the Irish Pub in Downtown Disney) on the 16th to celebrate St. Patricks Day. It’s a great place; what with the live music and Irish dancing.

I am taking a class called Entertainment Show Production Development. Different speakers come in each week and tell us about their jobs in the process of developing the entertainment that Disney has. Last week we had the show director of The Magic, Memories, and You come to class, as well as the lead tech director and an animator/theme park concept designer. He even drew us Simba. This week we had the Disney Dream team come and tell us about entertainment onboard the cruise. I want to go on that cruise! In a few weeks, we are going to get to do a tour of the Fantasmic set which I am very excited about.

Hakuna Matata


I have been really slacking on this whole, blogging thing. If we had better internet, perhaps I would write more often.
Work wise- I am still enjoying my job, which is always a good sign. I've been doing a lot of breakfast shifts in the restaurants..paired with a few random outings with Jiminy, Mickey, etc...

My class also started last week. I am taking Entertainment Show Production Development...or something like that. Its a class full of theatre majors and it seems like it will be a lot of fun. I've only had Day 1 which is basically just an intro so more on the class at a later date.

The other day, my roommates tried to conquer what is known as the "kitchen sink" This is, multiple scoops of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, and coffee ice cream, a whole can of whip cream, and every topping they have at Beaches & Cream. Everything by itself, pretty good. All together in a sink....kinda ridiculous. But we had fun trying :)

Trying to figure out what to do after Disney...or if I should stay through the summer. No developments in these decisions yet, but we'll see....
