It's been almost 2 months

Since my last post!!! If I've learned anything at Disney it's that time seriously flies by. It's almost my three month mark of being down here, which it totally crazy to think about. In some ways it feels like I've been down here forever and in others it feels like I've just been here a few weeks.

So much has happened these past 2 months I don't even really know where to begin...But I guess I'll start with work!

Working at Liberty Tree has been so much fun!!! Which is odd considering when I first came down here that was the last place I wanted to work! Our outfit may be hideous and the bonnets definitely don't hurt, but I love pretty much everyone I work with. We just ended our busy season so the past few days have been EXTREMELY SLOW, we've had about 100 on the books for lunch and around 300 for dinner, when we're used to 300 for lunch and about 800-1000 for dinner; It's definitely a change of pace that's for sure. I've made a few really good friends at work which makes the time pass that much faster. Only one of them is a CP which is going to make leaving that much harder...but I've made the decision NOT to think about January! Right now at work we're in the Magic Kingdom safety Olympics!!! It's a really cool concept and allows me to use my creativity to the max! The past 2 challenges have been okay, the first one was to make a music video, with original lyrics, that showed how we practiced safety at LTT (Liberty Tree Tavern). I'll try to upload the video later but here are the lyrics that Courtney and I came up with!

(to the tune of I'm Proud to be an American)

From bonlnets down to aprons
From knickers to our ties
From non slip shoes to name tags
we would like to show our pride

To the gloves we use in the kitchen
to safe handling of the food
there's pride in every patriots heart
we care on how we're viewed

And I'm proud to work at LTT where we practice all four keys
Our team relates like family leaving safety legacies
and I'll glad stand up next to you and happily declare
The safety team at LTT, is always here to care.

Even though our lyrics and video were amazing we lost to Outdoor Foods...apparently they did a rendition of baby got back.

This past week's challenge was to make a workout style music video with our own original lyrics...This one was quite hard...we went through several songs but finally ended up with Ke$ha's Tik Tok. The video is up on youtube somewhere when I find the link I'll post it along with the other video. I personally thought our video was amazing but apparently Crystal Palace aka Crystal Prison's video was better because they had pooh dancing...whatever. It still amazes me that I get paid to be a little kid everyday. I get paid to color, hopscotch, jump rope, and make music videos...life really isn't all that hard here at Disney...going back into the real world is going to be hard.

But enough about work...I'm trying to think what else has gone on lately!

My Daddy surprised me and came to visit at the beginning of August for two days!!! It was a short visit but just what I needed. I was starting to get homesick and him coming and being able to explore the parks with him was well worth it. I was so glad he came...sometimes I realize what great parents I have. We stayed at Coronado springs and even got to eat at Le Cellier, the top steak house in the country!!! It was sooo good!

Dylan, Lindsay, and Ryan also came later in August!!! It was so good to have them here as well! We stayed at the new Lion King suites in Art of Animation and it was so cool!!! Disney never does anything half-way, they go all out, and that was very apparent in their new resort! The Little Mermaid rooms open soon and I'm WAY excited to see what those look like!!! But anyways it was really good to see them, it was like having a little piece of home here at Disney! We were SUPER busy when they were here and even did 3 parks in one day...which I DO NOT recommend. We started out at EPCOT in the morning at 11, went to Hollywood Studios and ended at Magic Kingdom at 2 AM. Needless to say it was a VERY long day, but still fun nonetheless.

Other than that not a whole lot has happened. I still love the girls I live with and couldn't imagine what my program would be without them...seriously. Sometimes it does get a little crazy because we have NO privacy whatsoever, but overall we all really get along. We usually go out on adventures at least a few times a week...this past Sunday Calyn and I went to Cocoa Beach. It was a relaxing day and sometimes we just REALLY need to get out of the bubble! It's great to work at Disney but when you're around THAT MANY people ALL THE TIME, it get's kind of exhausting and you want to be around normal people...not tourists.

We still go and play in the parks alot...usually 2 or 3 times a week depending on everyone's schedule. Wishes is my favorite show to go to at night followed by fantasmic purely because Pocahontas and John Smith are present.

But anyways sorry it took me so long to update!!!! Hopefully I'll be more frequent in my postings!!!
