Hello everyone!
So I have totally failed at this whole keeping up with my Blog thing... Is anyone surprised? I hope not!
LOL
Well I have been here in Florida for about a month and a half and a lot has happened. I will try and nutshell it for you.
I was assigned to work in Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Great Movie Ride. It is a really fun job! I am a tour guide. I stand up in front of people and talk as we ride along in a very slow moving tram. We travel through
animatronic scenes of classic Hollywood movies including: "Mary Poppins" "Singing in the Rain" "Raiders of the Lost Ark" "Tarzan" "The Wizard of Oz" and many more! It is great because the scenes really come to life around you! (There is even a surprise visitor, but you'll have to call me if you want a better explanation of this). When I'm not being a tour guide I can be found loading guests onto the trams, opening the doors from
pre-show, greeting and welcoming guests, or valet parking strollers. It is definitely a fun job! It's not always glamorous and perfect, but most of the time I love it! My coworkers are a lot of fun and I'm becoming more and more comfortable with them and I'm making lots of friends. I am very happy about this! It is so much fun making friends!
When I'm not working (which isn't a whole lot of time... I usually work over 50 hrs in a week. My friend at work called me "the whore of
GMR" because I am always there.
LOL) I spend a lot of time at the parks because I can get in free! I'm working on doing everything before I get home. Disney World is so much fun! I also go to the Cast Connection Store, and Property Control. These stores are for Cast Members and we can get up to a 75% discount on merchandise! It is awesome! If anyone has a request for a souvenir just let me know! I'll bring it back for you!
I do also do things that are not Disney related. There are lots of activities with the
YSAs in my ward. I have made lots of friends there too! I love church! We have weekly
FHE activities, and occasional regional activities. On Saturday we had a beach party at
Daytona. It was really a lot of fun! There was this crazy storm that we watched come in. We could literally see it moving! It covered the entire sky in less than 5
mins.
My roommates and I also do random movie nights and silly parties at our apartment when we can. A couple weeks ago we threw an Enchanted party where we watched the movie Enchanted and had all sorts of themed snacks that were based on the movie :caramel apples, sunflower seeds in a paper bag, corn dogs, "Apple Martini" (this was actually Cherry 7up, but it looked like it...). The other night we had a pizza party and invited several people over. It was fun! Even one of the guys I work with came! (Don't be getting any ideas... he's gay. Actually most of the guys I work with are. *Sigh* But they are all really nice guys, and they are a lot of fun. You can hardly tell they are gay.)
On the
home front...
- Several of my friends have gotten engaged in the past few weeks!!! Including: Jess(My Best Friend!!! How does Bryce expect me to do my Maid of Honor Duties from across the country?!? LOL), Cara Harris(We go way back!), and Sam Purdy(My FHE brother). I'm beginning to think I'll be the only one left! LOL But my mom has already told me I shouldn't be getting any ideas... My dad wants me to wait for Travis or Seth, Britt wants me to wait for Stuart, and Amanda wants me to wait for Caleb, and my mom says I should just wait for someone who will treat me like a Queen. Phew... What am I to do! LOL
- My brother has his licences and is terrorizing the streets!
- My family says they miss me tons and can't wait for me to come home, and I whole-heartedly agree!
Well I think that's about it. I can't think of anything else to tell you about right now. Until next time! I <3 U!
