It looks like I am coming home from Florida this week! So I figured I should try to explain what is going on! I am super excited to come home but at the same time I'm extremely sad to leave. This experience has amazing, exhausting and probably one of the coolest things I will ever do. I had a blast here. I have met people from all over the world and I really have made a new Disney family. I stopped updating my blog because honestly everyday just blurred in with the next. I work a lot and then on my days off I got to the parks or either sit at home and watch Disney movies with my awesome room mates. That's it. Just fun all the time haha. Just kidding of course. Sure there is some awesome days and there is also some really crappy ones, but that happens every where! This experience has really taught me about growing up. Sure working on Peter Pan's Flight makes me want to stay a kid forever, but I have learned that everyone has to grow up. I feel like I have learned things that I will use in my life and it has helped me have a perspective of an adult. I really hope I can start acting more like one! hahaha.. What a way to finish up my teenager years eh? in Disney World! I am turning 20 in 9 days and I can't even believe that!
Now thinking about coming home I believe it is my time to learn how to work like a grown up and try and get my life in order. This is the time of big life decisions. So I am coming home ready for whatever God puts in my path. It seems whenever I make plans they don't work out or they just change drastically, so I am just going to try and keep an open mind! I believe everything happens for a reason and I am excited to try preparing in every way for whatever!
That means not freaking out when Jayden Smith and Justin Bieber walk by me.... I need to stay cool if there is ever a next time.

Day 44

Well.. It has been a good week. Church was really amazing on Sunday. I love my ward here and the Elders are super cool too. I really don't have much to say.. The days are so similar here I feel like I am telling you guys the same stories over and over. They blurr together and I can not even believe it is October tomorrow and General Conference!! Man that year went by super fast!
I had Wednesday Thursday off this week so on my days off I went to Animal Kingdom and Magic Kindgom with my fan land friends Katie, Abby and Andrea. It was a lot of fun.. I got super wet on the Kali River Rapids... I recommend that on a hot day. which is everyday here... We did all the rides we wanted to do. my favorite in Animal Kingdom is by the ride Dinosaur. It is the same track as the Indiana Jones ride in California but it is all Dinosaurs which is super cool. Then we went to Magic Kingdom after getting lost in the parking lot for a good half an hour. The parking lots here are INSANE! I heard the one for MK is the same size as Disneyland plus 500 cars... so remember people if you ever come here remember where you parked because you may be walking for a while.
We rode the good ones.. Splash, Thunder, Space and Jungle cruise.. we also rode small world... I have no idea why.. and then we went to the Laugh Floor.. I am super excited for my family to come down and see this ride because honestly I havent laughed so hard in a very long time.
Yesterday Megan and I went to the pool in the morning and tanned for a bit... It was Becca's birthday too so Megan and I got some cake and presents and stuff and celebrated and when Becca got home we took her out to Earles sandwhiches at Downtown Disney... SOOOO amazing.. everyone should try them.. and then we came home and watched the usual Thursday night TV and went to bed.
I am starting to make a list of must sees here... so if you ever come visit... I will have a great list. It is now the Food and Wine festival at Epcot.. I have yet to go but I hear it is amazing so I am sure I will have fun with that. One of the things Dad and I have in common is our love for food so I am sure we can indulge when you guys get here. anyway.. gotta go to the halloween party to work! love you!

I don't remember what day it is...

Well.. I am sorry I don't write as often.. It is basically just because the days blur together and they are all basically the same. I get up.. I get ready... then I go to work. Then I come home and go to bed and do it all again the next day. So that's fun! haha
Let's see... what is new.. I have my first wishes shift tomorrow night (firework) so that should be super fun. On my day off these past few weeks I have been chillin with Becca and Megan.. and may I just say they are a pretty fun pair to hang with. We went to downtown disney and walked around for the night.. you may see some pics on facebook from that. We bought boxers and now we live in them when we are not at work.. they are so comfortable! We were going to go on a hot air balloon ride too.. but the winds weren't looking too good for that. so another night forsure!
The weather is menopausal as always... the rain is like a warm shower though! It is kind of nice and crappy at the same time considering I wear a white shirt to work.
Megan is the best and she took me grocery shopping on our day off today. We floated down the lazy river at Blizzard Beach this morning as well which was very relaxing.
Becca and I got a pedicure because my feet were nasty from wearing shoes all the time. So that was super great. Then we all came home and Megan joined the four of us for some tv.. VD, Greys and Big Bang... lets just say it was a good night. We ate chicken and frozen grapes and just had a quiet night... which these days doesnt happen very often.
Tomorrow is my monday so I dont have a day off until Wednesday. Should be fun! I am excited to get back to work!

Day 28

Well yesterday was the most interesting day yet! The park closed down at 7pm for Christian youth groups all over the states. We had bands like the Newsboys, Skillet, Sidewalk Prophets and other big names. We listened to the church music through out the entire park. Everyone was clapping and yelling out "Jesus loves you!!!!!!!" and little songs and when I say yelling I mean it was insane! I forgot what it was like to be around these people..... I am glad they believe in something so strong but it was so obnoxious a bunch of parents apologized and said they were ashamed. Don't get me wrong.. It was refreshing to get only happy people for the night but man!!! These people were like.... I cant even describe. haha.... uh oh.. good thing no one saw my name (or understood) what Brigham Young meant on my tag because I felt like I was going to get like beaten to death. It was fun for a while with everyone so excited and singing it's a small world, no not singing, yelling. And screaming I love you and trying to hug all of us working. It was just so obnoxious. I have never seen anything like it even though I used to go to the churches! Everyone was yelling basically 98 percent of the time and the time they weren't they were clapping. hahahahahaha it was an entertaining night... but so annoying.
Good times...

Day 26..

Well.... I am def enjoying my days off here! but I am ready to go back to work already!!!! I LOVE IT!!
Yesterday I went to the Disney Typhoon Lagoon water park with Megan and her roommate Ashley. It was so cool. I swam with sharks and snorkled with sting rays! It was awesome. I was super nervous but I was told if it was Disney would it be dangerous!? hahaha prob not. It was over all the coolest thing ever!
We went on the 5 story drop water slide... wow.... that was basically like a colonic... okay not really but OW! and then we rode a couple of the water roller coasters which was totally sweet! It is amazing what water can do! We floated around the park in the lazy river which was so relaxing for the day off.

When we got home I showered then went to Olive Garden to treat Megan for driving me around everywhere.... THANK YOU MEGAN!!! YOUR AMAZING!! then did some laundry... I haven't had a day off in a super long time so it was getting gross in my room and then we watched a movie... I got Becca hooked on the Big Bang Theory! it is so funny and then I wen to bed around eleven because I was still exhausted.
Today on my second day off I slept in.. I am planning on ironing all my clothes and maybe going to Walmart for some groceries. I don't know yet! I am going to try and find a bank as well haha. I might go to the parks tonight... but I am just waiting to see how I feel.
Love ya!

Day 24

I am in shock on how fast time is flying by! It has already been 24 days which is insane! I guess the days start blurring together. You get up in the morning.. or afternoon I should say.. go to work and close the park and then come home and do it all again the next day. But I sort of love it! Even though it is tiring this is REALLY the only job I have ever liked this much. I am excited to get up and go.
It has been a good week so far. The weekend was pretty insane because it was Labor day but it died down on Monday for sure. People have calmed down as well. Which is great. I have been working for over a week straight! So that means extra money! Today I work from 11:15 am to 10pm.. should be a good day!
Yesterday was great... I went to work and within fifteen minutes I was told it was time for my bump out. I was extremely confused but then all the college program people had a special meeting for an hour and a half. It was fun just to get pumped up for the day! Then when I went back to the computer to get my assignment it told me I was going on my break. So basically it was a pretty relaxed day.

I closed Small World on Monday night. I don't know why but dolls have always freaked me out.. and I was in the position where you have to do the ride through at the end of the night... ALONE! I don't know about you but dolls are weird and Disney has some creepy stories about these things that freak me right out... I just sat in the boat and did not make any eye contact with them.

Last night I was in the position where I got to close Peter Pan and do that ride through. I like it a lot better! The day was super good too. We had a make a wish family... It is always so sad to see the little ones with terminal illness'. It makes me so grateful for life everyday. He was the cutest little guy. All in all it has been a good but long week. I am excited for my day off tomorrow!!! and especially because it is pay day!! WOOT WOOT!
Megan and I are going to be going to Typhoon Lagoon tomorrow which is one of the Disney Water parks.. oh and my friend Megan saw SHAQ!!!! how cool is that!? I hope I get to see someone famous while I am here because everybody has seemed to be seeing the stars... Johnny Depp, Lady Gaga, Tyra and now Shaq.. haha
anyway have a good day!

Day 21

Well yesterday was AWESOME!!! Church went so good! I love testimony meetings! I came home and made dinner for us, which was great as well. I then watched a movie with Becca and we giggled and had some girl talk, so that was fantastic... I went to work around 6:30pm and had the most magical day! or night I should say. I was in a great mood. I worked on Peter Pan for the day.. It probably is my favorite to work on load two because you get to walk on the treadmill and sprinkle pixie dust on the lap bar when it goes down.. It is so funny to watch the kids face.. It is such a magical moment!!! I love it!!  I worked till 2am but the day went by pretty darn fast if you ask me. I took out the trash and accidentally spilled it all over the ground.... oops.. but I swept it up.. so that was fine. I walked down the utilidor to hand in the lost in found. Disney world is big! even underground. This nice man stopped and offered me a ride back to the bus stop. It was so nice so I got there in 5 minutes instead of 25! I got home around 230am so that was fun and I had a really great day.
Today I work from 4:45 to 10:45 so I am excited it's not so late! I feel like I have been working non-stop.. which is true but I am excited for my day off this week.
