Hey Everyonee!!
Yup, that's right. Disney has successfully brainwashed me and as soon as i come back come either to visit or when my contract is complete you will notice. So i thought i'd share some things that Disney has done to me.
For one, i have to contain myself when i see people smoking in public. The worst is when i'm walking through the outlet mall and i see people smoking in the public area. My first thought is, put it out and find the nearest designated smoking area. It's annoying because i almost go up to them. haha Another is the "Disney Point" when you point to something or anything you use the disney point, which is using your index and middle finger closed together. It's like if you were doing the number 2 with your fingers only they're tight becide each other, together. I can't point the other way now. Another big one that really gets me is wearing your costume in public. According to Disney we are not allowed to be dressed in our costume anywhere other then our apartments, the bus, on stage and back stage. And when i'm on stage you must be in the Disney look. (Costume show ready) It kills me when i'm in publix and i see the cashiers still in thier uniforms shopping after they're off. And the thing is, i used to do it all the time are the bay.
Ohh well. So i thought i'd share some brainwashing things.
Have a good night everyone.

Failed my spiel!
Hey Everyonee!!
So, yeah i failed my spiel today. I'm a tad disapointed, but i'm also just happy that it's done. I'm still studying lots, and working my but off.. but i don't know. I'm hoping to re-spiel to Jeff by Thursday or Friday next week. He asked sooo many questions, i was soo nervous and there was just some things i didn't know. I'm trying to study and memorize EVERY item slowly one at a time, so hopfully i'll be able to pass next time.
Don't have much else to say other then going to the resort this weekend with edd again.

Back from vacation!
Hey everyonee!
So unfortunatly, i'm sad to say that i've returned home from my vacation. Not to confuse this with going home home like to Victoria. I just took a small vacation with Edd to a couple resorts for the weekend and now i'm back to work and the worst of them all, the commons! It's 3:00am, still need to unpack. Spent most of the evening after work uploading pictures and discussing with Edd how cheap our next resort is. I love getting 50% off resort rates! Definatly a great perk of being a cast member.
Edd and I stayed at Coranado Springs Resort on Sunday night. We had such a blast. We ended up getting there around 6:00pm or so, checked in.. went to their food court area for dinner, ate which was an experience. Edd tried to order a beer, but they denied him because he was using his Drivers License from the UK, which apprently isn't allowed, even though we accept it at Epcot. Anyways, he ended up speaking to the manager and got his beer, but found it quite annoying. So after dinner we wandered around the resort, looking for the hidden mickeys and taking pictures. We went back to our room to get ready to head off to the Magic Kingdom Extra Magic Hours. It was really fun, and i'm glad we took advantage of them, but really wished we spent more time at the resort. We did a lot of fun rides and some random things we've never done before. We stayed until it was closing at 1:00am. And actually believe it or not, when we were standing in line for the bus back to the resort there was this really obnoxious family from New York that kept making comments that were really uncalled for. Anyways, turns out they were eating in the restraunt.
So this post was deleted randomly ..or i guess i should say my laptop shut off randomly and i'm just picking up from where i left off. Anyways.. so the resorts are absolutly fantastic and i can't wait to stay in Port Orleans Riverside this weekend! It's going to be so much fun!

Spieling today and my god i'm nervous
Hey Everyonee!
So i've been studying like a mad man since 7:00pm and it's 2:20am. I think seven hours is pretty respectable. But not good enough. I still don't know what i need to know. So for you who don't know, Jeff came up to me today and was like, so have you spieled yet? And of course i said no, i bugged Linda and Janice everyday last week to post a spiel sheet but they never did. So he said spiel to me right now. I just laughed and said no. And he was like well then tomorrow morning - i'm opening manager. And i was like noo way, i'm not ready. Then all the servers started crowding around and just starred at me and kept saying you can do it.. do it... and i was ahhh fuck, fine! So now i have the entire menu to learn tonight! It sucks. I'm exhausted, i'v been up since 8:00am and am slowly moving closer to 24 hours. Ohh and i have to spiel at 10am, and i don't work until 11:30am..and i work until 9:30pm. So tomorrow is going to be basically 11 freakin hours. Soo not looking forward to it. And with NOO sleep. UGhhh! lol DOn't get me wrong, i'm realy happy Jeff, Janice, and Linda are pushing me so much to get into service. It makes me think they acutally believe in me and can see me doing it. But i don't know, tonight had just been crazy. So i thought i'd share it.
P.s- I meant to say that i really suck at my titles and then never talking about them. lol
My last post was about Cast Appreciation Day. Well yesterday was it. In World Showplace which is just next door to Canada and it's basically a huge events centre for cast events and some things for guests. They had this huge free buffet for us and it was all this food from around the world (epcot) and oh my god, it was sooo good! They had a huge stage with a very lonley but hilarious DJ and Mickey and Minnie were there and would consistantly switch it up with Goofy Donald and Pluto. Had soo much fun. Ohh and they also had this amazingly huge discount store for us. Everything was 70% off!! Crazyyy! I enjoyed it and appreciated the fact that Disney takes care of their cast members! The Bay would never do that! lol
There's not much else to update on. I'm extremly exhausted and just need like a 15 minute break from spieling and mixing up my words. It feel like the good ol days of school. lol
Ohh one last thing, today is my 4 month anniversery! Can't believe it's been this long so soon!! Crazy how time flys! And my family is coming in a month!! So freakin excited.
Anyways,
Have a good night. If i'm not too exhausted tomorrow then i'll tell you how my spiel went and if i passed or failed.

Cast Appreciation Day
Hey Everyonee!!
How are we doing?? lol, my roommate Michelle and i are discussing how much better Disneyland is to Walt Disney World. haha Anyways, so i'm trying to think what's new with me. Well we've had a really big part of are pavillion leave yesterday. Tyler who is like "DISNEY" right there. You think of anything Disney and he's it. I don't really know how to understand it, but he's like the perfect cast member and has changed so many cast members lives here. I'm going to miss him a lot. He passed me down a mini popcorn maker at his throw out because when he started, he was obsessed with popcorn and loved it to death, and i was like that too. So he gave me the popcorn award. haha i thought it was cute.
What else has happened? Well we had a throw in yesterday which was interesting as always. The newbies seem pretty cool and i'm excited to get to know them. I didn't have a good time last night though. I just didn't want to be around anyone, i was in a really strange mood. Well i'm hoping this weekend will make things better.
I'm staying in two different resorts with Edd. We're staying in Coronado Springs on Sunday to Monday and then Saratoga Springs from Monday to Tuesday and then i work at 2:00pm on Tuesday. Should be good times. I'm excited to just lay in the sun and enjoy the sun and stress free weekend away from the commons.
Well it's 2:10am and i work at 11am so i should be heading to bed.
Have a great day/night!!
Goodnight

Hello Humans!!!
Hey Everyonee!
So, life in Florida is going pretty well for me. I'm on a six day work week at the moment because Robyn self terminated herself, so Daniel was forced into taking one of her shifts and he was complaining about how he wanted his 3 days off all together so i just took it from him, which at the end means my 8.5 hour shift tomorrow is all overtime! =) Yay me. haha
But honestly, things are going quite well. I'm doing a lot with people - despite me needing to study. I've moved back into my actual apartment and out of Nykki's, so i'm getting along with Michelle and all my others and work is going well. I'm working my but off when i'm at work, which is making the day go by so fast and then i'll do something in the evening which makes it go by fast and then next thing i know it's 2 or 3 am. So it's a crazy life i lead. lol
Trying to think of some interesting things to share. Oh yeah, about a week and a half ago when Courtney & I were working the popcorn cart this old man came up to us and started doing this Donald Duck impression, and i was just flabbergasted(sp?) because he was so good, and we were telling him and he was like, well i'm actually one of the 4 guys who do the voice for the commercials or something movies. He was super cool and i can't believe i got to meet a voice of Donald Duck. Ohh and today this family from Surrey, BC came and we were chatting for a while talking about the program and such aswell as Victoria and BC. Ohh how i miss it!! =(
Alrighty, well i should be off to go study my menu. I have culinary day tomorrow and the chef's are going to grill me! Eeek!
Take Caree everyonee!

Let the hot days begin!
Hey Everyonee!!
So we're now entering the hottest month in Florida, and i'm still alive. and still working popcorn, believe it or not! Things are going very well here. I'm loving every minute of it and still making more and more friends that i'm sure i'll have forever. Actually a few days ago when i was stocker on popcorn and Illuminations was on, i was watching it and i could think about was how fast this is going and how little time i have left. I leave in 8 months. It's crazy how time is flying. Can't beelieve i got a little sad about that though.
Anyways, so i met this girl, she's one of the newest arrivals and she works in Canada - attractions. Her names Michelle, and she's such a sweet heart. We hung out al sunday together going to Hollywood Studios in the day time and then Magic Kingdom at night. I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again. I'm having a lot of fun at work now - i think it's because i'm in the higher end of seignurity now, which of course is awesome. The managers seem to respect me more and i'm studying my menu to go into service. So life is good! My family comes in i think like 43 days now, and my flight home for a visit is in 56 days, so good things are coming!
I don't really have much else to say.
Take Caree
