It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hey Everyonee!!

So.. yup, the title explains everything! Everywhere you look in Florida, you see christmas! It's amazing! I get sooo excited! I force myself to walk to work everyday (on the promanode) just so i get to walk by the huge Christmas tree. I'm going to Epcot tomorrow morning before i start work, so i'll take lots of pictures of all the christmas decorations!! We have decorations in our pavillion, christmas music is playing, we have the decorations in our restruant. I get so happy when i'm walking around the restraunt now. Like it's cold outside now, so it just has that feeling as if it's christmas eve. I'm sure it'll all get old by the time christmas hits, but still.
I've seen the new A Christmas Carol by Jim Carrey twice! ( I fell asleep for one showing!) And i've been to Magic Kingdom's Very Merry Christmas Party! It was such a blast and really got me in the Christmas mood. I'm hoping to go with a bunch of Canadians on Sunday! =) All i listen to on my time off is Chrsitmas music! Ohh and w just got out 50% discount in merchandise!! So that's really exciting and i need to start buying presants! I've got some done. lol
I don't really have much else to say. Ohh i'm going to be an offical trainer soon!
I cornered Janice and forced her to put me on the list. We were supposed to have our "formal interview" tonight, but it got kind of chiotic with guests and a large party that walked in because they were a big VIP! No one i knew, but very famous chairtible guy?.. so she said we're doing it Sunday when she's back. So i'm pretty excited about that. Ohh and then i'm going on my cruise next week which is even more exciting, and the best part is i'm going to be legal over there!! Yay!! GEtting drunnk off my face!!! This will be fun!! And in all fairness, i havn't had a glass to drink since i was in Canada.. so it'll be good!!
Well this is it for now! Super excited about riding Space MOuntain tomorrow morning! The opening was yesterday!
Tak Caree!

Halloween is over and the Christmas Decorations are offically up!

Heyy Everyonee!!!!

I really appologize that i never update my blog. I really think about it a lot, but after working 6 11 hour shifts in a row, i get a little exhausted. I finally get my day off tomorrow, well it's more today now. 24 ours form now i'll be asleep ready for work the next day! =( I usually get two days off in a week, but I forgot that i told Allison i'd take her shift if she needed me to so she could enjoy her birthday and have her party. So that put me on a six day work week, and it was pretty exhausting because it just so happens that every shift was a Greeter, and 5 out of 6 were training, so yes it will be good money, but i'm beginning to lose my voice again because i've been talking soo much to the guests and training all the new people. I really enjoy training and this new group really proved me wrong. I heard nothing but bad things about them and there were a couple returnies.. and i heard both of them were huge bitches.. but they have all been wonderful and were a treat training them. =) I'm working on trying to become an offical trainer, but who knows? The weather was disgustingly hot and humid again, but yesterday and today we were freezing. Next to no humidity and very cool tempetures, i don't think we hit above 23 C degrees today, it was nice, but thought i needed a sweater. I hope this stays now for good for a few months. Ohh poo, i'm soo sleepy, but i'm going tot make sure i complete a good post. Just thought i'd throw it out there that i'm listening to Jingle Bell Rock!!! <3 Yes, it's November 4th, and Christmas is here at Disney. I havn't seen it yet, but the decorations are now up at the Magic Kingdom. They're all sittting right backstage ready to go up after Thanksgiving at Epcot, but the stores in Epcot were decked up before Halloween was over. It's so exciting, and i think i'm going to have an amazing Christmas this year. It's going to suck a lot to be away from my friend and family.. but i'm also so eager to spend it with all my friends here. Edd & Michelle, they honestly feel like family now. It's killing me to think of what life is going to be with out them in 5 months. Things are coming along well here. Well, sort of. Halloween was so much fun. I didn't do much on the actual day, but just the fall season was a blast. I did Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party three different times. The Parade is soo much fun, Hallowishes is incredible, and all the characters are all dressed up, how and there's pounds and pounds of candy given out! I'm really excited because the Very Merry Christmas Parade cast preview is this Friday, and it's going to be super exciting!! =) It's only cast members only. I did the cast preview of Boo to You Halloween Parade. I've never had so much fun at a parade. The cast in the parade are just so full of energy because they know they're performing to their friends.. and cast of the sidelines are so full of energy screaming and cheering them all on! I've switched me PM to an AM with Brad and i'm going to get there super early so i can get a good spot this time and take tons of pictures.
So the Food & Wine festival is coming to an end this weekend. THANK GOD! I've never been so happy for something to end before. The park is sooo crowded and has resulted in me dropping a keg on my foot, and then the following week.. exact same day and time Allison dropped a keg of her foot! It's cursed i tell you, cursed!!! Hmm.. what else is going on. Ohh Edd and I did the four park challenge a couple weeks ago. We did it while staying at All Star Sports and Music. I had such a blast and had a hard time recouperating from it. I went into work the next day absoulty exhausted and drained. It was weird after having a couple days off. The 4 park Challenge intails hitting all 4 parks in one day, doing 4 of the main rides, meeting 2 characters, getting pictures infront of all the main thingers icon thing..and seeing 1 parade and 1 firework show at any of the 4 parks. It was tuff, but we pulled it off. We met up infront of The Commons Clubhouse at 7:30am, walked to Chatham Square Housing Complex and caught the K bus to the All Star Resort, dropped off all our stuff there and headed out to Animal Kingdom for the opening and we made it. We finished the day at Epcot at 12:00am on the dot. It was a long grueling day that included a crap load of running, pictures and waiting in line. I had soo much fun though. We're try8ing to do another one soon i think. I can't wait.
Okay, i think this is a decent enough update for now. I'm exhausted and would like to get some sleep considering it's 3am.
Also, if you could.. leave a comment on one of my posts if you read this because i'm curious how many of you are actually reading it. I don't care who it is... like your name, but i'm cursious.
Have goodnight everyone!!
&& I'll leave you with the fact that i'm listening/dancing to "I don't Dance" from High School Musical 2. ****Don't judge me, i work for Walt Disney World.!
