September already.

So, I was originally hired as a Cast Member at Mouse Gears in Epcot, but for the past two weeks, I've been working at Future World North merchandise at the front of the park. This includes: Stroller rental, Gateway Gifts & Camera Center (under "the ball") and Giftstop, right outside of the turnstiles. What's hilarious to me is that I was constantly warned, just don't go to strollers!!! It's horrible!! yada yada...yet, I absolutely LOVE it. Absolutely. Yes, we get slow. Yes, people get impatient. Yes, you're outside. SO WHAT? I learned so much more about the park, now I can direct my guests 10x better. I learned how to deal with impatient people and make them leave with a sure smile. I'm adapting to the heat - it's mind over matter. Plus, even in my a/c store we get sweaty and gross. I really like all of the cast members I work with at FWN, they're super cool. Made the job that much easier! I'm hoping to work there more often, although Sunday will be time for my MG return. We shall see...!

In other news, I have pretty fabulous roommates. I love all 7 of them. Anna, Amy, Bethany, Brandi, Jackie, Maryanne & Melina. Anna & Bethany work at Once Upon a Toy in Downtown Disney. Amy works at The Wave restaurant at the Contemporary Resort, Jackie works in the gift shop at Coronodo Springs Resort, Brandi works Fantasyland merchandise at Magic Kingdom, Maryanne works at The Art of Disney in Downtown Disney and Melina works in costuming at the Magic Kingdom. We all have a blast together and enjoy each others' company. There have been too many late nights where the 8 of us just stayed up talking. It's pretty incredible. We share responsibilities and work together, I feel incredibly blessed.

Anna, Bethany and I started going to church together. It's really cool to be involved in a ministry down here. We're attending Orlando First Baptist - heard about it via word of mouth. That's where LOTS of college program interns (CPs) go and the church is extremely familiar with the program. We're excited to meet more people. :)

Hm, what would you guys like to know? I'd be happy to answer any burning (or less painful) questions! Just let me know.

Until then....

Have a Magical day! (:3
