Cast Member no more?

Nooooooo. I cant believe it! I am officially done working! I have one full day left in Florida! Where the heck has this year gone?
This past couple of days was a tad bit sad. Obviously. Sunday I worked until a quarter after 3 in the morning. THE MORNING! Ah. I work Magic Kingdom it's not out of the ordinary. The park was open until 2 for Extra Magic Hours and Danny and Bianca were the other two who stayed late with me (only one store in the zone I was in is open for EMH) We had a blast. Bianca was thugging up all these Disney songs then Danny would opera-fy them. I was dying. (clearly the park gets a little slow that late into the night.) Monday I closed and Tuesday i closed. Tuesday the parks hours got extended from 11 to 12 so us closing shift was force extended until 1:30. That was kinda annoying because I had to be back in exactly 8 hours to start my next shift. Tuesday was my last day in Zone 1 meaning the stores meaning...my pixie dust! Hopping on the shuttle to go back to West clock the Adventureland glow peeps were on the shuttle. I saw Haley who funny story one day I was sitting with her on break and realized she goes to BYU-ever since then I've seen her at church and what not but anyway shes in Adventureland and she was like "Umm I heard you leave soon" and I was like "Yep tomorrow is my last day" and so we made plans on how we have to hang out when she goes back to school because shes working until August. Then once the shuttle pulled into West clock an Adventureland coordinator spotted me and she was in the back and I was about in the middle and suddenly I hear "MADISON!" and so i look around and as the doors open and people start piling out of the bus I spot her just waving away and I get all excited and wave and suddenly the back half of the shuttle decide to join in by calling my name and waving to me. I'm such a rockstar! Today was my last day and I was in my least favorite zone but it was fine. It was a rainy day so I got to spend my last day doing my ever so favorite poncho selling. *insert lots of sarcasm!*
I have hated saying goodbye to people though as the days go by. I've made such fantastic friends and I dont want to say goodbye!
Tomorrow i'm playing at the park all day and I have to say goodbye to my parade and Wishes. A tear may or may not get shed. :(
I'm so excited to get home and see my family and get out of this ghetto I have been living in. But so not ready to give up the Disney life and friends!! :(

Celebrate A Dream Inside of You!

So......this is my favorite parade in the whole entire world. I'm dedicating this blog post to it because sadly next year it will no longer exist. Yes I am heart broken. Not sure why considering I wont even be around and the new parade they are getting is going to be all about Fantasyland! [Wahoo] but come on...how can you not love this parade? I may have watched it enough times that I even know the dance moves..no regrets people. No regrets. "Wow did Genie make up that word?" ....."All it takes is faith and trust.....and just a little bit of pixie dust!"
Ahh...feel the magic people. Feel the magic!

Catching Up

Alright everyone i'm sorry it's been a while. I've been crazy busy. Lets see I had my birthday! The week of my birthday I was deployed to Adventureland. I spent my 20th birthday by attending church (such a good child I am) then hitting up Magic Kingdom before my shift started. Barb (Jessica) and I went to the Be Our Guest restaurant to eat lunch. This restaurant is quick service by day and sit down by night. It is absolutely amazing! The inside is decorated like the Beasts' castle and seriously it was incredible. I loved it. So glad I spent my birthday there. After such a short time in the park I started my Adventureland deployment. I worked the Pirates gift shop that day and absolutely loved it. I got paid to have sword fights with guests. Adventureland also is where Aladdin is. So in the other zone I was able to just stare at Aladdin and occasionally run into him backstage. I loved Adventureland and made some good friends there. One night at pirates me and a cast member were joking around as we helped a guest at the register. This guest was like "All you guys have the same personality" and we kinda looked at each other like..uhh is that good? And then she was like "You guys are so fun" So we were like oh okay..it is good. Also in adventureland I could hear the firework music perfectly so ya..I definitely enjoyed my time there. I'm actually deployed there again next week and i'm a little upset because I am deployed once again and its so frustrating but I am so glad it's Adventureland because like I said..I loved it!
This Sunday I was back in Fantasyland and on my way to work this huge storm hit. I guess Florida was under some Tornado warning and it really was scary. I can imagine that's what weather gets like before a hurricane or something. Super winding and rain just pounding down. I then stepped in a puddle (Huge puddle that was completely unavoidable-trust me I tried) on my way to work so my feet and shoes were soppin wet the first few hours of work. Also this day I got extended so my 9 hour shift got changed into an 11 hour shift. I was beat.
Tuesday I walked into the Pooh shop to start my shift and found out I had missed Katie Holmes and Suri by ten minutes. I was pretty sad. I mean...celebrities are my thing. I had just barely missed them....barely!
Yesterday though everything turned excellent and was the high lite of my career so far in Disney. Why? Because Katie Holmes and Suri came in the store and they came to the side I was on, the less busier side, and I was able to Pixie Dust Suri while a cast member wrung up Katie's purchase. She bought Suri I crown so I cut the crown off and talked to Suri about Jasmine (thats whose crown it was) Katie was answering some of the questions I was asking Suri and then ironic was small talk is about the weather...we seriously talked about the weather. Haha its fine. I talked about the weather with Katie Holmes. I'm not even mad. I met Katie Holmes in a chicken skirt and once again...i'm not even mad. Haha it was awesome! Katie and Suri were both nice so I mean... that's exciting!
Anyway I have gotten no voice currently. Today at work dragged on because when I dont have a voice my own voice is so annoying to me. So every single time I talked to a guest which lets be honest..is constant...it sounded awful. My voice just got worse as time went on too. Even one of my managers was like "Oh..you dont sound good at all" Oh perfect. My voice is absolutely shot. Tomorrow is FINALLY my Friday thought after a 9 day week. I only get one day off but my family comes next week so i'm ready to finally get sort of a vacation...sort of. Not really though because i still gotta work!

First day working-First day off

I survived my very first day without a trainer!! Oh my word I was so scared but I got the hang of it. A lot of the times I really secretly wished the boy I had trained with had been working as well. Lucky for him he had the day off. But I wish he had been working with me because it just would have been comforting to have another newbie there with me. Specially since we trained together and what not. My favorite position while working is merchentainment. This is just when I walk around the store and interact with guest. I cant believe how many people dont speak english. Only like 20 percent do speak english I swear. It's amazing. My favorite part of my job so far is pixie dusting the little girls. You just sprinkle glitter onto the top of their heads and say "All it takes is faith, trust, and pixie dust and all your dreams will come true!" Oh my word, the smiles on their faces after you tell them they have been dusted by pixie dust straight  from Tinkerbell is so fun! I cant help but smile after it's done! Love my job so far.
Today was my first day off and I went to Epcot. It was a blast! The people behind us on Test Track were laughing the whole ride at us and at the end a lady leaned forward and told us we were just as entertaining as the ride! We then traveled the world. Umm hello I ran into Aladdin. Obviously I got so excited and had to get a picture with him. Waited in line with girls between the ages of 3-7 and then there was Me, Erin (who I met through a friend in high school) and her friend. So worth it though. While taking the picture of Aladdin, Jasmine and me Erin told Aladdin I was his biggest fan. Aladdin was like "maybe we should get you a giant fan then" saying to like cool me down cause I was like on cloud nine. THEN...get this. He lent his arm for me and said "do you trust me?" You know..like in the movie right before A Whole New World. I could've melted. Gosh I love Aladdin. Just get me a picture with Ariel and it's a successful internship!
I love being able to go into the parks whenever I want! I love being here! It's incredible! Go Disney go!!
