FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER...I'm NOT GOING HOME!! UPDATE DEC.30 PG 74

[pkondz]

I will be working at Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush!
I am extremely excited about my placement and I truly believe it is the perfect place!

Congrats! I'm thinking that Turtle Talk especially would be a lot of fun!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Awesome placement! You'll be working in the A/c!!!!

I know! I am so excited I don't have to worry too much about the heat!

Congratulations ! That's awesome! Epcots my favorite park! You will have awesome QS to dine at on you breaks & before/after work! I can't wait to hear more!

Thank you!

It's mine too!

I agree! I am very happy!

Nemo and Turtle Talk sound like really fun first placements. Turtle Talk is never the same show twice, which will make it interesting and not routine. It seems perfect for you.

I am so excited!

I love Turtle Talk it's so cute we watched it yesterday and I got so excited!

Thank you! I agree!

Oh my goodness you're comical for apologizing for being busy. You're a Disney CM now for goodness sakes!!!!

And once again CONGRATULATIONS on your placement. Somehow I knew it would be that. That's so cool though that you get to do both. I've actually never even done Turtle Talk before, so all the more reason now.

That is true but I still feel bad!

Thank you! I am so happy with my placement! You will have to!

Awesome place to be! Turtle Talk at least changes each time based on the audience so it will be different each time!

I love that I get to have a show!

Congratulations on your placement! That will definitely be lots of fun. Some of the things kids say during Turtle Talk are so adorable!

Thank you!

I told my interviewer I was used to working with kids and taught Sunday School so it's perfect!

Sounds like a fun job - and cool, too! Hope you work with good people.

You need a Dismeet counter in your siggie!

I know! Thank you I do too!

I will have to!

Congrats! That will be a fun place to work

I am very excited about it!

Congrats! I'm thinking that Turtle Talk especially would be a lot of fun!

Thank you! I think so too!

As we dreamed about your placement, Epcot never even entered my mind. I was convinced you'd be at DHS or MK. However, I think this is perfect for you and you scored the best schedule!

 

[glennbo123]

Turtle Talk and Nemo is perfect. Congrats!

 

[hotveggy]

I will be working at Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush! I wanted to build up to it in the TR since I didn't find out until Tuesday but with my crazy work schedule already I knew it would be a while so I wanted something to tide you all over until then!

I am extremely excited about my placement and I truly believe it is the perfect place!

We had a great moment outside of the Seas Pavilion in Sept when I was there with my DD5. We had just finished seeing turtle talk and went out to get our stroller. There were 2 CMs near my stroller which made me quite nervous. Apparently, a squirrel had decided to eat the rest of my daughter's chocolate muffin (through the plastic container!!!). One of them said she tried to get it to go away but it just kept munching! They ended up calling their manager who gave me a voucher for a new one (totally not necessary) but appreciated.

My advice: BEWARE of the squirrels!!!!

I hope you enjoy your time. I think that is a great placement!

I will be there near the end of June. Even got FP+ for Nemo as I have NEVER been on it and it is one of my FAVE movies. Maybe we will see you there!

It was so weird finding out it was Epcot!

I agree! I really can't picture myself being at any other ride now! I love having 10 pm be my late time out!

Turtle Talk and Nemo is perfect. Congrats!

Thank you!

That is one crazy squirrel! I am glad to hear they offered you a replacement!

I will keep an eye out for them!

I hope we run in to each other be sure to say hi!

Caitlin, congratulations again on your placement in Epcot. I'm sorry for accidentally alluding to your placement location a few days ago, and possibly stealing your thunder, I didn't realize you were keeping it a surprise for a few more days as I saw it on your Instagram.

 

[Tracy161]

A HUGE congrats!!! What a fabulous placement!!! So excited for you!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Last thing you need to do is apologize - you have been doing great at keeping this updated! (not to say we aren't all eager for more mind you )

Big congratulations on your assignment! That will be great! Hopefully some guest interaction as part of Turtle Talk and it will always be air conditioned!

Sunday May 18

This was our last day of vacation before I checked in for the DCP so we were up bright and early for SWW!

We got there after 7 and were able to score fast passes for actor autographs! I definitely recommend going on Sundays!

This time we got to see the entire Opening Show and they blew up part of a building!





It's so cool seeing Storm Troopers in DHS!



The park was not crowded at all so while mom and I headed to TSM dad headed to Darth Mall.



Mom and I rode twice back to back then headed over to Darth Mall to meet dad. We had to wait a little while to get in then wait for dad to get back in but once we met up he handed me the autograph book I asked him to pick up for me. While we were talking about what he bought a man come over to us. I guess dad had begun talking to him while in line because the man had been complaining about the Droid vinyls being left out. I guess he was really looking for R2D2 and dad told him I had gotten one. After talking to him and finding out what a nerd he was I agreed to meet up with him later ad give him my R2D2. I still had one unopen package and probably wouldn't have bought any had I realized I wasn't buying the new Star Wars vinyl series before I paid He thanked us profusely and we parted ways because mom had agreed to let dad do something he was dying to do.



She let him make a toy of himself! Yep my dad did the D Tech and will be getting a Storm Trooper toy of himself!







After dad had fulfilled his lifelong dream of being a toy we headed back out in to the park.

It was time for my first autograph meet and greet and it would be with James Arnold Taylor the voice of Obi Wan Kenobi in the Clone Wars and whose show we watched on Friday.



We had a great interaction with him and he also interacted with mom and dad who were right outside of the tent.

I told him his Captain Jack Sparrow voice was my favorite and he told me all about filming the new Captain Jack Sparrow Voyage for DHS



After our meet and greet it was time to line up for our Feel the Force Package Parade Viewing. It was a great spot and we got free bottled drinks, pop and water, and free Mickey bars and strawberry bars. Of course I went with the old favorite!

We had to wait a bit and a ton of people tried cutting through our area or tried getting in to sit down and watch the parade. It was pretty cool being VIP and telling them um no you need to go some place else!

Soon enough Jedi Mickey was starting off the party!



You can so tell he is using the force in this picture

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Chip inviting you to join in on the fun!



all of the Jedi-in-training were allowed to join in on the parade



Uh oh trouble is coming!





Some of these costumed people were from the 501 which is a group for Star Wars nerds that help out around Florida. They do volunteer work and dress up in Star Wars costumes which is basically the best thing ever!



I love her outfit!



Totally in love with the Sand Baby!



Some cute jedis!



Another one of James Arnold Taylor's characters



a wookie



It's a trap!



Then the stars came down the parade route!



He looks so excited!

Everyone made their way to the stage and we were allowed to move closer to take pictures





Who doesn't love an Ewok?!



Chewie!!!



I love that his cane is a lightsaber!



and I love his face in this picture!




The stars and everyone were told to pose



Everyone cleared out and we headed to our lunch reservation!



Yep 50s with Dad's Electric Lemonade!

I finally got to try the gluten free fried chicken!



It was soooo good!

While mom and dad had a little bit of everything!



for dessert dad and I both opted for peanut butter and jelly shakes!




What did we do after lunch?!

Caitlin, congratulations again on your placement in Epcot. I'm sorry for accidentally alluding to your placement location a few days ago, and possibly stealing your thunder, I didn't realize you were keeping it a surprise for a few more days as I saw it on your Instagram.

Thank you!

Well I hadn't posted it here yet. It's fine though.

A HUGE congrats!!! What a fabulous placement!!! So excited for you!

Thank you! Your wish is my command!

Thank you! I love that button thank you!

 

[kastoney]

Subbing in and catching up. Can't wait to read about all your adventures.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Blew up part of a building??? That's cool. Now if they'd only blow up the hat... (I kid... sort of).

Oh Caitlin, that is so incredibly kind of you to offer up your extra R2. The CM spirit is strong with you Padawan.

Hehe, I'm totally down with being VIP. Looks totally worth it too.

Is that Peter Mayhew in the chair on the stage???? (Never mind, you answered that, lol That's what happens when you write comments as you read.)

 

[1Grumpy9]

So I want to apologize for being so incredibly busy and not updating recently! The pictures from Sunday are taking forever to load so I will update that day as soon as it's available.

I am going to be busy for the next couple days though so I wanted to end the misery and let you all know where I will be working!

I will be working at Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush! I wanted to build up to it in the TR since I didn't find out until Tuesday but with my crazy work schedule already I knew it would be a while so I wanted something to tide you all over until then!

I am extremely excited about my placement and I truly believe it is the perfect place!

I really hope we can run into each other...I love Nemo. I haven't been in Turtle Talk...but I think this trip is going to be the time I go to it.

 

[Imagineer5]

Yay!!! Soooo awesome!! Any chance you'll be working on the afternoon of June 11th? Just planned a totally last minute trip

 

[MEK]

My two favorite honorary bugs!

This picture is SO cute!

That salad looks SO good!

I am SO far behind! You are already on your last day? Oh well, nothing to do but try to catch up!

Great pictures from the parade.

 

[redheadedmermaid73]

I'm joining in kind of late so you might have answered this already. Do you have twitter and/or instagram so we can follow along there too?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

glad you made the opening show - sounds fun.

Overall sounds like you had a good day! And congrats to your dad for becoming a toy (it's like Reverse Pinocchio)

Jedi Mickey is cute, but why does he need all those railings? If he had the force shouldn't he be able to sense where the end of his platform is?

The Sand Baby is super cute
