25 things I learned as a CP (in no particular order)
1. You're never to old for Disney
2. Sometimes you get stuck living in the ghetto, and it is indeed ghetto
3. You quickly learn enough about Celsius when the air conditioning panel falls off the wall and the Norweginers set it to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.
4. Pixie Dust is hard to remove
5. The world still believes Mormons practice polygamy
6. Florida's weather is more bipolar than Utah's weather.
7. Just because you're a cast member people expect you to know EVERYTHING about Disney.
8. Stickers help make a little kid stop crying
9. The buses are bound to break down or be late
10. A sleep schedule doesnt exist. Especially if you work in the MK.
11. You can count on a lot of CP's being at IHop at 3 AM on any given night.
12. It's totally appropriate to be the only adult without a child in line to meet a character.
13. Force extensions suck
14. Aladdin is and always will be a total babe.
15. Main Street has the best break room.
16. It's totally normal to stay up late discussing which little girl princess dresses are cute and which ones need changing.
17. Guests get frustrated if you dont speak Spanish....i'm sorry, I thought we were in America?
18. It's not weird to beg families from England to take you back with them. Instead they tell you all about their country!
19. Touch to Pay is either so helpful or a pain in my behind!
20. Nothing brings me and a guest together more than their 1D merch
21. The best guests are always the little kids. They are so much fun to talk to.
22. Dont let your roommate put things on your side of the dresser apparently.
23. The shuttle likes to play Walking On Sunshine when its 1 in the morning AND raining.
24. I think i'm gonna be a pretty rocking mom the way i've dealt with drunks....
25. It's pretty incredible to create friendships with people from all over the world!

So long. Farewell.
I'm back home! :( Oh my gosh how the past few months have been a spectacular journey and i honestly just cant believe its over!
Thursday Kristen and I went to MK to play where Barb met up with us a few hours later. We were there from park opening (give or take a little bit) to park close. We had a blast and was trying to squeeze in everything one last time. It rained a little bit but that didnt put a damper on our parade. No seriously...the parade still went on. thank goodness. I was terrified the rain would cause my 3 0'clock parade to become the rainy day parade and that wouldnt be good for my last time ever. But my parade still went on. I got to see my Adventureland hottie one last time. (most heartbreaking thing walking away knowing I will never see him again...seriously people...total babe!) and was heartbroken once more when Wishes was finished. A lot of cast members -especially those of us who work in the MK grow tired of Wishes, but no no no. Not me. Goosebumps every single time. Unfortunately Tinkerbell didnt fly this night and we were all shocked, we were making up some huge thing like oh its a sign that its time to go home. Time to go grow up. But that just made me sad so we had to go ride Thunder Mountain instead and forget the real world for a few more hours. Barbs mom came and picked us up from the park and once back in 1102 Barb finished packing and left. One down from the original 3 and now all that was left was Kristen and I. It was about 1 in the morning at this point and we had a shuttle to catch at 4 so we planned not to go to sleep. I showered and finished packing while Kristen finished up her stuff. Finally about 230 we were done and ready to go so we sat around until 330 when we went out and waited for the shuttle (plus we didnt want to hold a conversation much longer with a certain person.) Kristen got off the shuttle before I did because her airline was in a different part of the airport than mine so we made our goodbyes quick and away she went. Really sad. Then I sat around and waited for a few hours fighting sleep because I had been up since 730 the previous day. Finally I got on the plane and was asleep while the plane was still taking off. I slept clear until Denver where I had a layover. My flight got delayed an hour so that was super boring. Luckily one of my close friends from Florida was texting me so that kept me occupied for a while.
My family was there to meet me at the airport and they even had signs. I was so excited to finally see Easton in person and to see Kennadi. Lets be honest, the two people I missed the most while I was gone was those two.
My family then went out to dinner and Kennadi, Cami and Austin then came and stayed with us until today so i've had a blast playing with Kennadi.
I'm constantly snap chatting Barb about our post-Disney life and how sad it is and getting texts from Kristen stating "It was only a dream!" [a running joke among 1102] And to top it off for whatever reason we always quote a certain part in Princess Diaries and tonight it was on TV following Cinderella-with WDW commercials like every minute. Like alright world-enough! I'm trying to cope with my life not Disney centered.
I'm still trying to get used to saying normal things because a lot of things arent okay in the real world. Like casually bringing up a character in a conversation isn't normal or breaking out into a Disney song.
I've learned a lot over the past few months though and am definitely not the girl I was when I left. But I think its for the better possibly? :)
