1/3 of the way in...

Hey everyone! It’s been a long time… whoops. I’m sorry, I’ve been really busy! But I thought I’d update y’all on the program.

I’ve been working a whole lot lately. Yesterday I had a 15 hour shift and have a 58 hour work week. That’ll definitely be interesting! Other than that I’ve been hanging out with my roommates and friends; I’ve also been getting to know my coworker’s which is great, because a lot of them are CP’s as well!

I love my job too; it’s just amazing being able to work in the Happiest Place on Earth. I get to make so many magical moments for people and make their vacation just all that more memorable! My attractions are definitely interesting also… The carrousel is pretty crazy if you’re working it by yourself when the park is busy, and lots of people enjoy jumping off when it’s moving. So if you ever ride Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel, don’t be that person! I love Philharmagic, it’s a great movie and is always fun to see people’s reactions to certain parts in the film. I have also been Wishes trained, so I can be scheduled to basically guard the castle from guests before, during, and after the fireworks. It’s just awesome being able to watch Wishes every night and get paid to do it!

Anyways, I really love it here, and it’s scary to think that I’m already almost 1/3^rd of the way into my program. I’m super excited because my parents, grandparents, and aunt are visiting next week! So I’ll get some family time and a few days off, which will be much appreciated. Well, that’s all of the updates I have at the moment, and hopefully I’ll be able to make another update soon.

Mini Update!

I got my little weekend in, and yesterday was a lot of fun! I went to Magic Kingdom—which is still my favorite park, even though I work there—and got a few hours in the park! We got to ride Jungle Cruise at night (crossed off the bucket list), Kristen and I got an entire boat to ourselves on Pirates of the Caribbean, we saw Wishes while riding Big Thunder Mountain, visited our other roommate, Katie, on the people mover, and then went to Poly for some Dole Whips! I’m so blessed, where else can you go to your favorite place in the world and basically visit for free and get paid to work their every day?

So after my lovely weekend, I will be back at work today. But I have to say this: while I may deal with difficult guests, attractions shutting down, stroller duty, and a ton of other craziness; I truly believe I have one of the greatest jobs in the world. Where else can I call every little girl princess, and make a strangers day just by wishing them a Happy Birthday? I mean I get to watch Wishes when I’m working! How much luckier can I be? Yes I have long hours, and yes I will have bad days, but I’ll always come back the next day ready to see what’s coming for me. I just, I truly love what I am doing right now.

P.S. I also signed up to work the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival! So we’ll see if that request is approved or not.

P.P.S Live with Kelly and Michael are coming to Florida in mid-February, and I was able to sign up for tickets! So cross your fingers, and hope that I’m chosen to go see them!
