Club 626!

Greetings Earthlings!!

I had one of the most fun shifts ever! I go to attend to Stitch, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale as they danced the day away at Club 626 in Tomorrowland.

It was so much fun to literally just dance and play with the characters and with guests. The only part that sucked was getting lost in the tunnels twice. Whoops. It's been  long week, but a serious amount of fun and I love being a character attendant.

Everyone has been super nice and more than helpful. Next week should be super fun as well!

Characters include-
Tinkerbell
Mary Poppins
Pooh and Tigger
and Maybe Minnie Mouse!!!!!

Until next time friends!

Holidays Around the World- Japan

Konichiwa!

I had my very first day at Epcot as an attendant in Japan. There isn't much to tell, it was a simple, easy shift. I did enjoy learning about Japanese culture on New Years, though.

Did you know that at midnight on New Years Eve, in Japan they ring the Gong 108 times!!! Yep. They do.

Santa Goofy

Tonight was awesome! 

I got to be there when Santa Goofy turned on the Osborne Family Spectacle of the Dancing Lights, and listened to the very last song. It was so much fun. Goofy is one great character to spend time with!!! The whole night was spent laughing and having great conversations with guests! 

Didn't get a chance to take a picture, but this experience will go down in the books as a great one. 

Princess Fairytale Hall

Well hello! 

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to hang out with some beautiful princesses! 

I spent my evening with Cinderella and Aurora, 2 lovely princesses who made many magical moments. 

My favorites include:

-we had a family of 6 that we had the oppurtunity to spend some extra time with, so the princesses decided to play a game of hide and seek with the family. The youngest, who was a 3/4 year old girl with golden pigtails was the counter. She and I counted to 10, and them we looked for the princesses and her family! It was so much fun, and so great to see how happy this family was afterwards. 

-another was when Cinderella and Aurora made 2 teens sing a song, and the danced while they sang. 

-and of course all the little girls dressed up was super adorable too!

The other attendants and captain were all super fantastic, helpful and just nice. 

Princess Brianna

Hello! So here is a story of a Princess named Brianna. She is a beautiful 7 year old girl, who has been perfectly healthy for years and now, she needs a brand new heart. Princess Brianna is very close with one of my sorority sisters, Jessica. 

When Jessica asked if there was anything I could do to help lift Brianna's spirits, I had an idea. 

I painted a poster with Brianna's favorite princess, Ariel on it. I then took it to Disney to get signed by some special friends of mine. I brought my 6yr old brother, Ethan with me. He loved getting it signed and telling the characters that it was "for a little princess who was getting a brand new heart." The best part was all the cast members and characters who were so eager to help and send good wishes. 

Please keep this sweet girl I'm your thoughts and wish her a speedy and easy recovery! Enjoy some pictures :)

Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party!

After my Day 4 of training, I went home changed, grabbed my brother and left to go back to Magic Kingdom. We were headed to Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party!! 

For the first time this year my sister, brother and I did Mickeys Not so Scary Halloween Party, so why not do Christmas as well? These parties are special  ticketed  events that allow for rare character meet and greets, special FREE treats, and themed shows. Definitely doing at least once! 

Anyway, we went with my friends Kailey and Vicky, and a 7 year old girl named Brooke. As soon as we got there we did what Ethan had been anticipating or weeks. We met "talking" Mickey. Mickey, Brooke and Ethan pretended to be pirates an it was the cutest thing ever. After that we headed to the Jingle Cruise, then it was off to Neverland! 

Ethan and I had never met Peter Pan and it was constantly something we tried to do, so the fact that Mickey AND Peter happened that night, was AMAZING! After Peter we headed to Princess Fairytale hall to meet Rapunzel and Snow White but ended up on the wrong line and me Cinderella and Aurora instead (no big deal). Then we went to go wait for the parade, but it ended up being cancelled because of rain. So we fast walked our butts back to fantasyland  to see Rapunzel and Snow White. 

Lemme tell ya' we stretched this to the bitter end. We were last to meet Ariel and then do her ride. Ethan was basically sleep walking to the car. 

It was a fantastic and magical experience and definitely worth going! 

Gaston

Oh. My. Lanta. 

Today was such a roller coaster. 

My first 2 sets basically took place on the struggle bus. Meaning, those were the sets where I made a bunch of mistakes and had to learn from it. But my captain was great and helpful so it became better. 

The hardest part of the day honestly was probably trying to judge how long the line was and when to cut it off. But, it got a little better as te day went on. 

I also got special visits from my Aunt Adina, Uncle Mencken and cousins Ari and Eliot! It was awesome to see them!

AND one of my favorite trainers came and said hello today!!! 

Did I mention that the park was also at 85% capacity today?!?! Yea. It was crazy. 

Anyway, there was really only one super angry guest that yelled at me, but I stood my ground and made sure to not give in. 

Gaston was amazing. The guests LOVED him. Twice today he did push up challenges on his fountain with guests! Also I watched a girl cry when she met him. He is just literally that awesome. 

One of my favorite things about working with Gaston was the amount of times a grown man would say "I bet I could take him." It was hilarious! Gaston would look at their muscles and say "that's cute."

Basically today was good even though it may have ah a rough start. I definitely learned a lot. And I am ready for another day of fun filled adventures! The newest adventure will be with some princesses on Wednesday! 

Have a magical day y'all!!!!
