Busier than St. Nick?

At least I feel like I am busier than Santa Claus!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays! I know mine have been full of fun and magic! I have so many fun stories from the last two weeks. I'll share my favorite ones, not really in any order. Plus all my days sort of pushed together, so these aren't chronological either.

1) I was lucky enough to spend a christmas party in Agrahbah with Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie and Abu. What a fun night that was! My favorite moment was when a little boy named James went up to Aladdin and said "I was in my stroller and had four cookies, then I fell asleep, and when I woke up I only had two." Aladdin said that James deserved more cookies so he personally walked James over to the cookie station and made sure he got some more cookies. Then, James came up to me and handed me a cookie and said "this is for Aladdin and Abu to share, so don't eat it!" Children can be so kind and adorable.

2) Another Christmas party story- I got to spend time with the 7 Dwarfs! My favorite part of that evening was all my awesome guest interactions. One guest even said they were going to stop by city hall to compliment me. Which honestly made my week. Or month.

3) For the very last christmas party of the year, I got to hang out with the Country Bears. Oh my goodness. That was a PARTY! Wendell, Shaker, Liver Lips and Big Al seriously know how to have a great time! So many memories, such a great cast and a wonderful ending to the christmas parties!

4) I got to work with Gaston again!! Boy, was that awesome.  The guests were fantastic, and I made an awesome new attendant friend. I love when I am scheduled with another fantastic attendant who likes to goof off just as much as I do. My favorite guest of the day was actually our very last one. Her name was Nyla, and she was about 4. We weren't going to have time to spend time with her, but Gaston made an exception for the tiny princess. She told him all about how she would find him a princess for a wife. Then, when he asked her: "What's your favorite thing about me?" she responded with: "Your clothes. I like your clothes." She was so beautiful and sweet, and really put the cherry on top of an amazing day.

5) I love, love, love working at Animal Kingdom. It's a breath of fresh air away from the craziness of Magic Kingdom. I was a spare, meaning basically an extra attendant that would be called if necessary. And that I was. I was pulled immediately to spend my day with Rafiki! That was also a super fun day! The best part is when Rafiki was basically malled by 5 kids at the very end of the night while playing hide and seek with another guest. Usually I would get upset or frustrated, but honestly it was just hilarious.

6) I had my very first shift in Fairytale hall with Rapunzel and Snow White! I never knew I could have so much fun it what seems like such a peaceful place. One little girl went up to Snow and said "Snow, my dad is just like your Grumpy DORK!" Everyone in the room was laughing hysterically. Then later in the day, another girl went up to Snow and asked, "Snow White, where are your seven SMURFS?" Oh my goodness. Kids say the darndest things!

Well, I am exhausted and I have man more crazy days ahead! Luckily there is a lot to look forward too! Enjoy your holidays everyone!
