I can now say I have been part of both worlds. The guest world and the cast member world. And my journey on both roads is no where near complete. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have. This chance to get some of the very best job training out there and work for one of the world's most recognized and renowned companies. But, on the other hand I also love being on the other side of the invisible rope. I love the magic of being a guest. One of the very best parts of this experience is getting to be on both sides. I could wake up leave my apartment head to a resort of park and be a part of the guest magic then head over to the Magic Kingdom and clock in for work and be part of the team that creates the magic for others.
I have now been here for 11 days. But, as my roommates and I discussed earlier today it feels as if we have been here for weeks now. In just 2 short months my family will be here to visit and I will have the opportunity to create some magic for them. More so than usual ;). Once they arrive it is hard to believe that my program will already be half over! These eleven days have already been a whirlwind of exhaustion, anxiety, magic, fun, laughs, stress and a mess of other emotions. I can hardly even begin to think what the next 2 months or 4.5 months will have in store for me. There is so much to do, see, and experience. There are sleepless nights ahead of me and what seem like impossibly long days. But, I am finally feeling prepared to conquer all of the struggles.
I have just enjoyed two wonderful days off! It was quite wonderful to have the time to sleep in and take things at my own pace. 5 days of work and I get another 2 off! So wonderful I cannot wait!! haha. Yesterday I spent most of my day being lost trying to get an oil change and not being able to find the joint. Then sitting in urgent care for another 3 hours. Was not at all what I had originally planned for my day. But, the good news is that I knew I had the rest of my day and the next day off! Now there is no need to worry. It was nothing serious just a little pain that I needed diagnosed so that I could get the right medication to fix it and I already feel better! Doctors have a way of being very magical people sometimes! Today went much better! I got to sleep in and relax in the apartment all morning and then head to Downtown Disney with my delightful roommates and do a little shopping! And I'm so proud of my self there were so many adorable Minnie Mouse things and I didn't buy a single thing for myself. After our shopping was done we went on over to Disney's Hollywood Studios! It rather crowded due to the fact that it was a holiday weekend. The good thing is that Hollywood Studios is always a good park to just walk around. We did tough it out and waited in line for Tower of Terror and it was as usual an absolutely fabulous ride. Had a good dinner at Sci-fi cafe which is a fun restaurant to go to! Then was the fun of trying to catch a lousy bus ride home! It took forever and it was freezing out. But, I am cozy and snug at home now. I have my lunch and dinner made for tomorrow. A clean kitchen and dinning room. Soon a clean bedroom.
The thing is that I am trying to stay up as late as possible. Because you see the thing is that I have to work from 2:00pm until………. 3:00am so I want to make sure I am as prepared as possible for this!! My week is going to be a long due to the fact that my shifts are either obnoxiously long or right on top of each other. Or someday's both! But, this is what I signed up for. It is funny to me because I knew exactly what I was in store for once I got here. But, I never really put any thought into exactly what it would be like or what a toll it would take on me! To me the fact that some people live like this for years is incredible! They must be machines! I am a bit of a workaholic but, I am no machine! I like sleep! So I guess over the next 5 months I will learn how to be a machine and not need sleep. Skills I am sure will be helpful in the future!! None the less work me to pieces and I will still be happy to be in Florida. Not just Florida, but Orlando. And not just Orlando, but Walt Disney World! Basically every single day!! I think every day since Sunday I have been to a Disney Park all but one day!!
Well I feel as if I have given y'all enough to read for the night, morning, afternoon. Whenever it is you choose to read! Till next time enjoy the magic of your life! Everyday has a little sparkle if you believe.
All you need is faith, trust and a little pixie dust!!
