I too am almost as famous as Michael then. I saw your warning on the pillows. I have no doubt you will need more than 2 suitcases to return home. I also know this is an extremely hard choice for you to make. I am sure everyone following along will miss the entertaining tales you tell. You and me know they wouldnt be so entertaining when you return to your lonely brown chair. We love and enjoy hearing about you having the time of your life. Hence...your life. You got to do what makes you you.

Ebola In The Monster World Week 11 Pt 1
Monday October 20
Today I woke up and realized I had no where to be this morning. It was quite a sad moment. But the said moment came to an end when Amelia texted me asking if I would go to dtd with them. I didn't have anything to do till 4:30-5 tonight so why not!
The bus to dtd today though, it was rough we were at a stand still for a good 20 minutes at the light to turn into dtd. I made it by noon and met up with Amelia Krista and Michael in the toy section of WOD. Today started our cast member holiday discount and I was the kind person to use it for their last minute merchandise purchases.
We walked all the way to the west side then took a boat back to the marketplace. After missing 5 days of work I’ve noticed that some walls were down. DTD is changing every single day. We got some lunch at earls, just the classic club for me.
Then it was time for them to get back to akl and catch their tragical express back to reality. And as sad is it was for them to leave disney I felt the same way. So much fun filled packed days and now it's back to the Disney work reality of a cp.
I got home and just sat on my bed wondering what to do. But alish texted me saying she was coming to pick me up to go to the kingdom to hang out there all night. Instant mood change. She came around 3 and Brittany was about to miss her bus because she had to get her laundry. So it was a girl’s trip to property control and cast connections! Alish got her holiday booklet and was letting me use her cast connection discount coupon to get the fort wilderness sweatshirt that has been calling my name. On the drive over I got a call from Gma. She told me how my holiday packet just arrived...this is what happens when you don't change your address on the hub. But Gma rocks because she is sending it down tomorrow.
We drove all around west clock looking for a parking spot, none were to be found, so alish parked in not a real spot. On our way into property control Brittany left her ID in the car so she went back and parked alishs car in an actual spot. Nothing was found at property control only the hoodie that Michael got that I told him I was going to get to be twins...but that was an extra large.
Onto property control. I found my fort wilderness sweatshirt and it was a total of $13 and not $75!
We dropped Brittany off at the west clock bus stop. Then parked over at the contemporary. Brittany was kind enough to give us re-ads for mine train. So we went to do that first but it was down. Just our luck. So we went to get some food at Pinocchio's.
Too poor for real food
Afterwards we checked back at mine train, still down. We found Randy and headed to the new haunted mansion store.
After quickly browsing the small store we then walked around frontierland browsing the shops there. I shouted COUNTRY BEARS and started applauding but alish just didn't understand my life. We still had a good 30 minutes till our first fastpass so we went to the thing that gives me life....COUNTRY BEARS!!!
Welcome to the family of bears
It was getting a lot of love today, so many people compared to going to see it at 11pm.
After country bears we had time to get some magic cards. We didn't play the game, just for more cards. Then we made a stop at sleepy hallow for a funnel cake. There we were getting attacked by flying ducks. One kid got knocked down by one.
Our first fastpass were for the carpets because we need to bounce them. However it didn't happen because alish isn't Blake and doesn't have the magic touch.
We had time to waste before our thunder fastpasses so we went to use our mine train fastpasses. Sorry randy! There was a little girl behind us who pretty much hated her life and it was the funniest thing ever!
At the end she said "I'm not doing that again if you haven't realized that."
We got off mine train and wondered back to frontierland to go on the goat effect. And we got the back seat back row. It can't get any better than that!
Look it’s a scupper, threw a wall scupper. I’m now an architect
We had 2 hours till our fastpass for space was good so we walked over to tomorrowland.
But first…COUNTRY BEARS!
In tomorrow land we did carousel of progress because Amelia wouldn't do it with me and now I really wanted to watch it. So me and alish danced to a great big beautiful tomorrow each time.
Next up, people mover because it never has a line.
We then did the laugh floor.
EBOLA IS TAKING OVER THE MONSTER WORLD!
Randy was the churro guy.
so many humans with antennas
We went to space to us our fastpasses but we were way too early. We were those people!
So we hung out at the dance party then headed back to space at our right time. We were sent to the right side because we found Brittany in action. She asked why we waited in the long line, she was unaware that we had fastpasses.
Then before she boarded us she asked if I wanted a re ride. That's not even a real question. As we took off to the lap bar check we heard someone scream "where's my churro?" Someone called randy out!
When we got to the end Gina was working unload and asked who I was with and if I wanted a re ride! So many space friends!!! Of course I do! So up we went and Brittany was our unloader this time.
Wishes started in 5 minutes and we walked to fantasyland. Literally every time we found a spot on the castle wall someone else ran and sat down. So we found a table outside of friar’s nook and watched the fireworks over the castle wall.
After wishes we went to philharmagic. Then walked to Main Street where we watched the electrical parade because we could.
Then we browsed the shops and waited for Brittany to come out from work where we met in the art room. We all headed back to the contemp and drove to dtd. We have been planning a night for splitsville since cm's got the $5 game play discount. We got to splitsville and they were done for the night. Like what? Everyone I work with always go after work so why is closed before 12:30 tonight?! who knows. All I know is that I haven't eaten a real meal since earls this afternoon and I was dying.
So we hopped in the car and went to ale house. When we got there our waiter was just a hot mess and was stressing himself out. I just wanted my food so I could go home and sleep. Before we got our food we planned our cruise, we weren't booking it yet but for the cruise we were now looking into we needed to request off another day. Our food came and I are to fast so I literally ate nothing at all.
When our checks came alish paid and left. She had to get up at 6 for work and it was already going on 2...sooo yeah. Andy drove Brittany and I home where I jumped into bed so fast. She had her laundry all over her bed so while she put that away we stayed up chatting and watching tv. How I was even awake anymore beats me.
Tuesday October 21
Vacation mode was over and I went back to being lazy Sam. I slept in and it felt so good. Today I had a meeting before work so that means I had to get ready earlier. In the meantime I uploaded all my photos from my phone to my computer. I haven't done that since like the beginning of September so it took a while.
I got ready for work and headed off to Chatham. When I got to the cast service building I remembered how in 2 days I wouldn't have a locker anymore and we would be switching buildings. I clocked in and it was pretty much a huge guest show parade over to the AMC theater. A lot of us were scheduled for a meeting. No one knew what the meeting was and our managers wouldn't tell us. It was all hush hush. When we got to AMC we were ushered into theater 2 were we got a bag of chips and a water bottle.
Surprise surprise we were having another preview for Disney Springs! It started off by cms throwing tshirts in the audience. I was lucky enough for one to literally just fall into my lap. I'm not complaining.
Then it was time for the show. It was like a talk show thing going on, it started off with an acapella group that would be performing once Disney Springs is completed. Then our host came out and talked to all the leaders in charge of the project. It was a lot of information we already knew, more food more shops. They wouldn't tell us what food or shops. Dtd is literally going to be unrecognizable in some spots, I cannot wait to see the finished product. At the very end we were told 2 of the new restaurants that were coming and the one seems pretty cool. But now I can share because Disney just announced them, I’m looking forward to Morimoto Asia
We all headed back to the cast service building and clocked in for our shifts. I got WOD restroom, by the time I got there it was really dead and I was confused. But I will not complain! Nothing at all happened today.
Wednesday October 22
Today I woke up and did some laundry. Today was also the day of the big news for alish...she was moving to Tokyo!!! I am beyond excited for her. It's all she has been talking about. When I was getting ready for work Brittany came back from the gym and first thing said was on a scale 1-10 how sad are you. It's pretty high 9-10, I mean I'm loosing my sister for over a year. Time to start saving all my money to visit. Brittany said I couldn't go alone and therefore she would have to volunteer as tribute to go with me.
I left for work and found out that my bus broke down at the commons. Keep it classy transtar. This is the time when I knew I would get my first ever point for being late for work. NOT A POINT!
A bus came 30 minutes late and somehow I made it to work on time. The only bad part was that I was one of the last to clock in, therefore I got zone 11. It was just another night at dtd.
Tonight extension letters came out. I was accepted to extend my program! I could be here until May 8th, one more day after my birthday! Unfortunately I knew this couldn't happen. All good things must come to an end no matter how badly we don't want to believe it.
When I got home there was an apple pie on my bed from Brittany!

Congratulations to Alicia on moving to Tokyo. I'm assuming she will be friends with Jasmine. What a great opportunity for her and what an awesome visit that will be for you.
I'd love to have a day off of work with nothing to do and just hop on over to the Magic Kingdom. I think that's so wonderful and enjoy your time on the College Program.

I didn't take notes as I went along on this one lol, feel like I should have!
How great to have been adopted into a family for the long weekend, awesome adventures!!
So happy for Alish! I freaked when I saw it on facebook! I also volunteer as tribute to go see her! Lol. I've been DYING to head over to Tokyo & Hong Kong for a while now, it's gonna be awesome!
So sad you can't extend, but so awesome knowing that you are finishing more schooling & such. Are you able to to seasonal with the new policy or will that be too much work? At least getting a regular job down here doesn't seem to be too tricky!
Can't wait to read more, and hope I can keep up!!

Week 11 Pt 2
Thursday October 23
Today I woke up bright and early. Hello 8am! I got ready then was off to catch the west clock bus. I needed to get milk. So Brittany and I split milk and apparently one of our roommates either drank our milk or dumped it out. Because now there is whole milk in its place. Like who does that?!
So I had to get some milk, cast connections has milk and it makes it a good excuse to browse around property control. Today's steals from property control, a hoodie and a baby dress for my future child, jk for my cousins baby on the way!
Then I headed over to cast connections, normally I don't purchase anything here because the deals aren't as good as property control. Today however was different, I ended up purchasing the lion king harambe nights tshirt. When I was cashing out the cm said I found a steal because they only had those shirts at the ombré night...I silently laughed in my head. Ombré is a hairstyle.
I got back to Patterson around 10:30. I passed Brittany at the bus stop, she had a nice 12 hour work day in front of her. When I got back I took a little siesta. I woke up way after my alarm and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. But there could be none of that so I got up and made myself some lunch. I watched some revenge and then it was time to head off to work.
When I got there Michelle, our old manager who left us for guest relations was back to being our manger.
Today I was back in zone 1. It literally feels like forever since I got zone 1. In the beginning of my shift I had 2 families come up and ask me how to get to dtd. Surprise you’re in DTD!
During my break one girl was little yelling up a storm about extension. She said how everyone she knows got what they wanted and she was stuck at the same role same location. Then proceeded to say how she put that down as an option for a safety net. If you didn’t want the same job don’t put it down.
My night went by fast and at 12:28 it was time to clock out. Tonight was my last night ever having a locker since they will now be at a separate location from the guest show building.
No need to run to the bus tonight because it's not going to be there. Thank god for Olivia! She walked passed the bus stop and said I could join her.
The awkward moment to her car when she said "I'm so sad you're not coming to universal with us tomorrow" um yeah I wasn't invited. Cool bro. But I could care less, I'll just go watch country bears by myself.
On the way home we discussed her wedding dress shopping adventure the other day. The dress she chose is beautiful! I love it so much. We got home and hung out around the kitchen table. Brittany got home from work and her and Olivia were going on all about Harry potter and tomorrow. I'm not a potter fan so that's when I decided to call it a night.
Friday October 24
Today I decided that it would be a great idea to start my Christmas shopping. It's not even Halloween and I'm already thinking about Christmas. My plan is to get all my Christmas shopping done and gifts wrapped by the time Gma and kiss get here. That way they can take the gifts with them and I won't have to worry about shipping anything. So now I have less than 3 weeks. Game on!
Property control sort of let me down today. I got parts of gifts so I guess that's better than nothing. When I got back home I watched the latest episode of Revenge. By the time it ended it was time to get ready for another night of work. When I got to dtd I was sadden for the fact that I no longer have a locker. Everybody now walks around with their backpacks and hides them in storage closests. When I clocked in I got zone 7 but was later changed to zone 5. Didn't really matter to me, zone 5 would keep me busier tonight anyways.
It was a busy Friday night. Leaving me trying to fight the crowd with my banana boat.
Disney springs is starting to look beautiful behind raglan road. I'm glad I get these perks of seeing the progress of Disney springs.
Dancing gramps makes my heart fill with joy every time I see him. He is just always hanging out at dtd clapping and grooving to the music.
Zone 5 was a happening place tonight. I was so thankful when midnight came and I could go home.
Saturday October 25
Today was a day of a whole lot of nothing. I had work from 4-12:30. When I got to work I was scheduled WOD. I'm not up for it today, especially not on a Saturday night.
During out usual breakout meeting our manager had one of the CPs do the announcements. Then we all got candy because our manager went to mnsshp and brought all the candy he got for us. He then bribed us with more candy if we answered our radio the first time we were called. As you can see no one ever answers the radios, most of the time it's because we can never understand what the person is trying to say.
When I got to WOD the line was already out in the hallway and outside. Then the lady working in the morning told me it's been like that all day.
Then during my first break the lady who was restroom support came up to me saying I needed to refill my soap and paper towels because they were running low. 1) I’m on break 2) you're support why couldn't you at least replace the paper towels. 3) There was still over half of the soap left when I went back.
It wasn't horrible but it also wasn't an easy night. It kept me busy to say the least. Midnight came and all I wanted was a hot chocolate. But somehow I dropped my hot chocolate and it went EVERYWHERE. Only me. So I gave up for the night and had no hot chocolate. Then to top it off all of us CPs had to run to the bus. That was quite entertaining though since we were dodging cars.
When I got home it was a big party in the living room. Aka 3 of the roomies were just hanging out.
Sunday October 26
Today I was planning on going to a park with Brittany but that didn't end up happening. Instead I started painting my roommates shoes, which I guess is the best thing to do because she got shoes a while ago.
So I painted while jamming out to Taylor swifts new cd. Just having a me party.
Alish and Jered (aka the bae) were off on a Native American trip to some gathering. I was so upset that I couldn't join them. She texted me when she was on her way home if I wanted to hang out, stupid work!
3 o'clock rolled around and I was off to dtd. Where I once again got WOD, curse you CDS. However it was Sunday and I would take a Sunday over a Saturday in WOD any day. The crowds were so much better and I couldn't be anymore happier.
Before my last break Brandon who was working WOD male asked if I wanted to do some water art. Did I?! Of course I did. It was nice getting outside for the night. On our way to get some water we picked up Zack who was also down for some water art. The boys practiced behind the scenes before we headed out.
Water art was a win for the night and it lead me right into my break. Sarah and Brandon were talking about there extensions and I just wanted to cry. LET ME STAY. The rest of my night went by slowly but we made it to 11:45. By that time my restroom was clean, guests were gone and I could hang out in the break room for a half hour until I had to walk back to cast services. I also got my hot chocolate and didn't drop it tonight, so we had that going for me.
HAPPY FRIDAY TO ME! 12:30 came and I was out of there fast.

When I was cashing out the cm said I found a steal because they only had those shirts at the ombré night...I silently laughed in my head. Ombré is a hairstyle.
I got back to Patterson around 10:30. I passed Brittany at the bus stop, she had a nice 12 hour work day in front of her. When I got back I took a little siesta. I woke up way after my alarm and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. But there could be none of that so I got up and made myself some lunch. I watched some revenge and then it was time to head off to work.
When I got there Michelle, our old manager who left us for guest relations was back to being our manger.
Today I was back in zone 1. It literally feels like forever since I got zone 1. In the beginning of my shift I had 2 families come up and ask me how to get to dtd. Surprise you’re in DTD!
During my break one girl was little yelling up a storm about extension. She said how everyone she knows got what they wanted and she was stuck at the same role same location. Then proceeded to say how she put that down as an option for a safety net. If you didn’t want the same job don’t put it down.
My night went by fast and at 12:28 it was time to clock out. Tonight was my last night ever having a locker since they will now be at a separate location from the guest show building.
No need to run to the bus tonight because it's not going to be there. Thank god for Olivia! She walked passed the bus stop and said I could join her.
The awkward moment to her car when she said "I'm so sad you're not coming to universal with us tomorrow" um yeah I wasn't invited. Cool bro. But I could care less, I'll just go watch country bears by myself.
On the way home we discussed her wedding dress shopping adventure the other day. The dress she chose is beautiful! I love it so much. We got home and hung out around the kitchen table. Brittany got home from work and her and Olivia were going on all about Harry potter and tomorrow. I'm not a potter fan so that's when I decided to call it a night.
Friday October 24
Today I decided that it would be a great idea to start my Christmas shopping. It's not even Halloween and I'm already thinking about Christmas. My plan is to get all my Christmas shopping done and gifts wrapped by the time Gma and kiss get here. That way they can take the gifts with them and I won't have to worry about shipping anything. So now I have less than 3 weeks. Game on!
Property control sort of let me down today. I got parts of gifts so I guess that's better than nothing. When I got back home I watched the latest episode of Revenge. By the time it ended it was time to get ready for another night of work. When I got to dtd I was sadden for the fact that I no longer have a locker. Everybody now walks around with their backpacks and hides them in storage closests. When I clocked in I got zone 7 but was later changed to zone 5. Didn't really matter to me, zone 5 would keep me busier tonight anyways.
It was a busy Friday night. Leaving me trying to fight the crowd with my banana boat.
Disney springs is starting to look beautiful behind raglan road. I'm glad I get these perks of seeing the progress of Disney springs.
Dancing gramps makes my heart fill with joy every time I see him. He is just always hanging out at dtd clapping and grooving to the music.
Zone 5 was a happening place tonight. I was so thankful when midnight came and I could go home.
Saturday October 25
Today was a day of a whole lot of nothing. I had work from 4-12:30. When I got to work I was scheduled WOD. I'm not up for it today, especially not on a Saturday night.
During out usual breakout meeting our manager had one of the CPs do the announcements. Then we all got candy because our manager went to mnsshp and brought all the candy he got for us. He then bribed us with more candy if we answered our radio the first time we were called. As you can see no one ever answers the radios, most of the time it's because we can never understand what the person is trying to say.
When I got to WOD the line was already out in the hallway and outside. Then the lady working in the morning told me it's been like that all day.
Then during my first break the lady who was restroom support came up to me saying I needed to refill my soap and paper towels because they were running low. 1) I’m on break 2) you're support why couldn't you at least replace the paper towels. 3) There was still over half of the soap left when I went back.
It wasn't horrible but it also wasn't an easy night. It kept me busy to say the least. Midnight came and all I wanted was a hot chocolate. But somehow I dropped my hot chocolate and it went EVERYWHERE. Only me. So I gave up for the night and had no hot chocolate. Then to top it off all of us CPs had to run to the bus. That was quite entertaining though since we were dodging cars.
When I got home it was a big party in the living room. Aka 3 of the roomies were just hanging out.
Sunday October 26
Today I was planning on going to a park with Brittany but that didn't end up happening. Instead I started painting my roommates shoes, which I guess is the best thing to do because she got shoes a while ago.
So I painted while jamming out to Taylor swifts new cd. Just having a me party.
Alish and Jered (aka the bae) were off on a Native American trip to some gathering. I was so upset that I couldn't join them. She texted me when she was on her way home if I wanted to hang out, stupid work!
3 o'clock rolled around and I was off to dtd. Where I once again got WOD, curse you CDS. However it was Sunday and I would take a Sunday over a Saturday in WOD any day. The crowds were so much better and I couldn't be anymore happier.
Before my last break Brandon who was working WOD male asked if I wanted to do some water art. Did I?! Of course I did. It was nice getting outside for the night. On our way to get some water we picked up Zack who was also down for some water art. The boys practiced behind the scenes before we headed out.
Water art was a win for the night and it lead me right into my break. Sarah and Brandon were talking about there extensions and I just wanted to cry. LET ME STAY. The rest of my night went by slowly but we made it to 11:45. By that time my restroom was clean, guests were gone and I could hang out in the break room for a half hour until I had to walk back to cast services. I also got my hot chocolate and didn't drop it tonight, so we had that going for me.
HAPPY FRIDAY TO ME! 12:30 came and I was out of there fast.

wow Sam!
some fantastic updates. Loved reading everything.
Congratulations to Alicia. I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea parks. So glad you plan to visit and can't wait to read all about it.
Congratulations to you as well on being accepted to extend! It sounds bittersweet though as you have to turn it down from what I'm reading. Sorry to hear that but wish you all the best.
I had to laugh when you commented on all the Elsa's at the MNSSHP. JQ and I are in So Cal right now and took our grandkids to Disneyland's Halloween Party. They're 3 and 4 yrs. old and after a while my grandson just started to point and say "look gma! another Elsa!" It was crazy!
I must say Californians do make a point to dress up! Kudos.

VIP Treatment Week 12 Pt 1
Monday October 27
I woke up around 9 and headed to property control. The cm who works there now recognizes me, so there's that. I just need to get my Christmas shopping done sir please don't judge me. I also got myself a pair of the Halloween ears because I need them in my collection.
I headed back to Patterson, then headed back out to do some grocery shopping. I got a text from Brittany asking me where I went because she was going to ask me if I wanted to mk because we didn't yesterday. Whoops. However when I got home I quickly ate lunch and we headed off to the kingdom with Meredith and Casey.
When we got to the kingdom we first made a stop at space for Brittany and Meredith to drop off there work bags. Which meant VIP treatment to the front of the line. It's good to have space friends. Afterwards we went to buzz. Meredith had some fastpasses she didn't use when her family visited so that's what we used up all day. Once again it's great to have attraction friends with re ads.
Then we moved onto frontierland where we did thunder. Meredith gave me props for my goat effect technique. I literally turn my whole body.
Brittany suggested splash and when she suggests that you better jump on that because it comes very seldom. It was quit warm today so the splash felt good.
It was almost time for Brittany and Meredith to get to work so we headed back to space for one more ride, VIP again.
Space broke down so Meredith got out of line so she wasn't late. Brittany started 15 minutes after Meredith and space got back up running.
OFF TO NEVERLAND!!
Hook, Tigerlily and John…what a strange combination
We all said our goodbyes. Brittany was off to work and Casey went back to her apartment. I hung out around the kingdom and watched the ending of dream along.
Then I grabbed some Starbucks and sat up in the train station. I called Gma and we talked for a good hour. It was what I needed out of life. It's nice to have someone to just talk to about everything and anything. I don't know what I would do without her.
It was around 7 when we hung up. It was time to find alish. I headed over to the carpets because it has become our ride. We met up near the tikis and she told me so much at once. Let it out girl. Then it was time to bounce some carpets. It was my turn to take control and we bounced a little. At the end I was getting the hang of it. Of course.
I was getting hungry so we headed to cosmic rays where I got myself a child's meal and some free pickles because who doesn't like pickles?
Sonny eclipse was singing some wonderful jams as I ate my kiddy meal. During this time alish was texting her BFF Danielle about setting up a special meet and greet. I have been waiting for this moment FOREVER!
We had time to kill and a space fastpass to use. So off to space we went! We found Meredith, Brittany and Gina what a popular night at space.
It was about time to head to the castle. But we stopped by fantasyland to grab a cake in a cup. I have been wanting to try one of these for a long time. However when we were purchasing one we saw that they were roping off the castle area in front. NOT AGAIN! I need to get inside that castle.
We took our cupcake and ran behind the castle to see that they were getting ready to rope it off. We made it just in time. We took our cake and shared it on the steps in front of the sword in the stone. The cupcake was kind of disappointing. It was a lot of frosting, I was expecting the frosting to be more whipped like whip cream but it was the heavy sugary make me sick if I eat too much frosting.
It was time, time to go up for my special meet and greet with the fairest one of all! We told the first cast member we had reservations, they led us to the podium where alish told them we had to meet the entertainment captain upstairs and we were welcomed in. VIP treatment all day.
It was my first time ever in the castle. I was so excited. It's very small though.
When we got upstairs the captain was there waiting for us. She was very nice and told all the waiters that we were with her. We stood to the side while the princesses made their grand entrances. Once they entered we took a sit at some open chairs near the kitchen. Then a waitress came over and talked to alish saying she hasn't seen her in awhile. That got to the topic of her moving to Tokyo.
Then the chef came out and chatted with us, alish has so many friends here. They talked about the closure of the restaurant and how he will have to work somewhere else for 3 months. Then he gave us some free beverages as we waited and the waitress came out with some wands and wishing stars. I was like a little kid, SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!
Alish told me I was like all the children in the restaurant whose parents yell at them for not waving their wand so much during the wishing ceremony because the pictures come out blurry.
Snow came over to chat with us. She was perfect and so precious.
We hung out for a little longer till she finished meeting all the tables for one last BFF picture.
Before we left Snow told me that she hopes I get my cirque popcorn bucket…stop! Snow how do you know so much about my life?!
It was time for us to go but before we did we needed a classy bathroom pic.
Once we left the castle we had a fastpass for thunder. We got the back seat and the goat effect was real good. Brittany texted us asking us if we were coming back to space because she would be grouping on the A side for the rest of the night. We headed towards Main Street to buy her a cookie. We were actually going to go to a shop in frontierland but they were closed.
So instead we ran around frontierland with our wands dancing to wishes. These are the moments I'm going to miss the most
I found a new favorite spot to watch wishes tonight. Frontierland is my favorite land so why I haven’t watched wishes on the bridge before gets me.
Rough night…passed out in poop
We went to the confectionary, grabbed a bakeshop cookie and headed to space. It was only a 10 minute wait so why not. We found Brittany, she wasn't grouping but at load. Alish handed her her gift bag with the cookie, wand and wishing star. Then we were off to explore the space.
After space alish met up with Danielle downstairs and I headed to catch the bus. I wasn't going to make it so I stopped to watch the electrical parade.
I love these boys!
I walked to contemporary and caught the bus. Brittany was still on a west clock bus and didn't make the bus. But she was home even before me doing laundry. Casual.
We stayed up watching scooby doo while she waited for her laundry to be done.
Tuesday October 28
Today Brittany left me for fort wilderness for until Halloween. Her brother and his family were coming down for a short vaca.
So I hung out in an empty apartment all day before work.
When we got to work I was not expecting to walk into a powerless building. I guess construction cut a power line and it has been out for almost 2 hours. We had no clue what was going to happen. We could clock in and get our assignments, we could get our keys, and some people couldn't sign out their costumes for the night. Dtd was in a real struggle.
Jason was the manager tonight and he also told us that they also cut a water line. And to make it better they thought they contaminated the water. But the water is safe now, it just has a brown ting.
Since we couldn't sign in we had to write our name down on a sheet of paper. Then we hung out in the break room wondering what was happening. Jason gave everyone a placement for the night, handed out radios and got us keys. I was once again placed in WOD...
I got to WOD and maybe 20 minutes later I was called and told to take over restroom 7 instead. I've never done restroom 7. So it was a new adventure, off to the west side I went. It was a pretty chill night. The crowds were nice and my restrooms went smoothly.
We couldn't clock in and out for our breaks because we never clocked in. So as our manager for the night Anthony would say "you're on the honor system" well most people didn't do that. I went to cirque for my break today and Anthony called over the radio for the male restroom at cirque because his trash was overflowing. You should have seen how many people got up and out of that break room, no one wanted to be caught.
On my walk back to cast services I walked with some guests who were actually CPs. They didn't know where the bus stop was and I was headed there so I was their personal tour guide.
At the end of the night we couldn't clock out on the computer so we had to use the wall clock. It was a pain in the butt because there was only 2 and long lines of people.
But I made it to the bus on time.
When I got home the best part about having your own room is I can turn on all the lights and not have to try my best to not make sound.

Week 12 Pt 2
Wednesday October 29
Today I set my alarm for 9:30, which then turned to 10, then 10:30 and then finally I got up at 11. It was my day off and I was planning on going to see festival of fantasy because it’s been far to long since I’ve seen it.
I headed over to the kingdom around 1:30. When I got there I browsed the shops and hung out around Main Street. That's literally one of my favorite things, just sitting on Main Street listening to the music, taking in the atmosphere. You can't really do that while on vacation, I mean you could but most people jump from attraction to attraction.
Yay for finally getting the Halloween ears!
Then it was time! Time for some festival of fantasy back in my life. I changed up my viewing location and found a spot on Main Street.
Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly
I have dreams like you, no really, just much less touchy feely
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
After the parade I headed out of the kingdom and over to property control. Good thing I went because I got half of my Christmas shopping done. Plus I got me some pretty sweet kicks for $9.
I headed back home around 5ish. I texted Danielle because she is pretty much the hardest person to shop for and since she was coming down next week I just wanted to have somewhat of an idea of what she and Adam wanted.
When I got home I had some dinner and pulled everything out to start working on Jessie's shoes. But then I got a missed FaceTime from Michael, at first I thought it was a random accident dial but I got another one. It was fun week at dance and we I finally got to be apart of the lyrical party class! I was happy that I was actually off today because I'm never off on Wednesday nights. The call didn't last very long because they actually had to be somewhat productive during class.
I didn't do much with my night afterwards. Like literally nothing.
Thursday October 30
Today my alarm went off at 9. I was confused to why I even set an alarm. Then remembered I did nothing on my day off. So I had to get up do some laundry and work my Jessie's shoes.
Brittany texted me telling me how much she loves the fort. Duh it's perfect! Then she told me how Disney is forever tracking guests. Now you get your ride photos straight to your photopass, is it magic or creepy. They now also take videos on the tower of terror that you can purchase. It's so strange. And I guess they have been working on this idea for a while since I just got a tot video from when ma and pa came to visit back in september.
It hit 3 and I made my way to work. When I got there I got zone 10. Something new! Something boring. Zone 10 is splitsville to cirque and super small. There was nothing for me to do and no one wanted to trade pins because I have stupid ones. Struggling hard tonight
Managers are always out and about. Tonight Richard was the closing manager. He found me in my zone and we ended up talking about Disney cruises.
I went over to splitsville and listened to the band playing. Then an engineering cm came up to me and told me I was looking beautiful today. Not to mention that this was the same one who made a comment about my native eyes. My life...but really please don't talk to me I'm socially awkward.
Then I had a crazy guest come up to me telling me that I need to quit the dcp because it's slavery. But like if slavery means getting into the parks for free sign me up to be a slave forever!
Overall tonight was quite the entertaining night.
Friday October 31
HAPPY HALLOWISHES EVERYONE!
It was Halloween and I was headed over to Epcot with katt! She asked if I wanted to hang out and do some food and wine. I wasn't working till 4 so I had some time to spare.
So I dressed festive because starting tomorrow Halloween will be in the past and Christmas will be upon us.
I met up with katt at the bus stop. Then some of her friends from work also joined in on the fun.
The only time I have been back behind Epcot is when I came for the soarin tour. So trying to manage my way around would be a nightmare, thank god I had 4 girls who worked there.
Our day was spent around the world showcase. It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze.
We hopped from stand to stand. I didn't really participate because I'm a poor cp trying to save money.
While we were at the Ireland stand katt noticed character training so we went to go check it out.
There we found bolt
And Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Then we made our way to France. Where I finally got grey goose slush, I've been waiting for this moment forever. And it was worth the wait.
We walked the showcase some more, browsed some shops. When we hit Italy I had to get going. I said my goodbyes and headed to the odyssey. But I made a quick stop at Singapore to get the lemongrass chicken. It was delicious and I wish they gave me more.
I was able to figure out my way back to cast services and got a bus back to Patterson. It was once again that time to get ready for work.
When I got to work I dreaded where I would be placed. It's Halloween and I can only imagine how the crowds will be tonight. Thankfully I got 7,8,9 assist. It was not such a bad night at all. So many costumes, so many Elsas. However I saw a real legit Flynn rider.
A lot of guests thought there was trick or treating tonight but they were sadly wrong. No free candy here.
However all the Elsa's were causing a brisk night outside tonight. The breeze itself was rough and I had to put on the winter jacket we were given.
Before my last break there was a cp guest show party. A total of 6 of us helped take out one trash run. Then zone 11 got called for a code v on a bus. Me and another girl went for moral support.
The rest of the night was spent with Brandon who was zone 11. Why he was hanging out in zone 7 beats me. He was having a rough night. He had to deal with a drunk guest who kept playing with the defibrillator box and screaming that he needed his kids.
So we danced with guests while the musicians did there things and passed out Mickey stickers.
It was a pretty solid night until he got a call over the radio saying he had an overflowing trash can. He got mad that his friend who called it in couldn't just take that can and that another cp gave him a sassy remark.
I helped him get everything taking care of while he just vented. Oh what a night...literally we were singing this all night.
After everything was all said it done it was time to get ready to leave. We went to the Disney quest break room (which was my first time) and behind quest Brandon said how he wants to do a flash mob thing before our program ends. So we were goofing around and tossing around our brooms.
It was time to head back to cast services and call it a night. Peace out dtd see ya tomorrow.
The bus situation though. All the seats were taken by "guests" aka CPs who weren't working. That is the worst, especially when you have been on your feet all night.
Tonight's Halloween Elsa count: 48
Saturday November 1
Happy November!
Today I had no alarm set and it was a beautiful thing. The morning/afternoon was boring. Brittany came home last night after her family vaca but was sleeping as long as she could because she worked until 2am. Then the question came up about what 2 am she would be done at because of the time change tonight.
3 o'clock came and I went to Chatham and stood there for about 40 minutes because the bus never showed up. Cool bro.
I ended up clocking in with a minute to spare. Thank god because I don't want a point! I ended up getting zone 2 tonight.
Today was cold! When I left it was only 58 degrees and I only had shorts. So after our breakout meeting I went to costuming and got pants. I was so glad that I did.
It only got colder as the night went on and all I could think about was the hot humid summer nights, jumping in my bed, and hot chocolate. The manager, Jason, came around and gave us hot hand packets and I was forever grateful.
Around 9 o'clock we were down to 48 degrees and the wind was brutal.
Tonight Brittany and alish blew up my phone with the burning down of the mine train. SIGNAL 25! I REPEAT SIGNAL 25!
Elsa has done it again, she found someone with fire powers to help kick the dwarfs to the curb so she can take over. Typical Elsa.
Sunday November 2
Today I woke up to a text from alish. She had the next 2 days off as did I. So she was going to get another piercing with Danielle in the afternoon and we planned to do something tonight.
So I went to mk at noon to get more shopping done. And this time I wasn't going to property control, I'm being a big spender today. I got to the kingdom around 1 and headed straight to memento mori. There I met a couple who were purchasing the HM magic band to link to there maingate. The guy told me and the cashier that they met working at the mansion, she was on the college program and he was just picking up at random shift at the mansion. Now they're married and have custom made haunted mansion wedding bands. Like how cool is that? I thought it was super cute.
I made some purchases and went to browse the shops down Main Street. I finished up my shopping for the day and decided to check the fort. I had nothing else to do and last night I saw a girl wearing a new fort crew neck that I needed in my collection.
Of course I purchased it and it was officially my first 40% off merch for myself.
From fort I took a boat to the contemporary, which was the coldest experience of my life! Then I waited for the bus. In the meantime I decided to call ma, who was out shopping. Then I believe I was put on speaker phone so I could also talk to pa.
My bus came and I headed home.
Around 6:30 alish picked me up and we headed to mk. We talked about going to another park but it just didn't happen. It was another chilly night so our first stop was Starbucks. Where we both got some cinnamon dulce latte. We had space fastpasses but skipped them because we would have had to throw out our drinks that were keeping us warm. So instead we sat and watched the parade. This is the most I've ever watched this parade.
We were both surprised to see da bae in it! He looked miserable.
After the parade we browsed the emporium and headed off to our sister ride. THE CARPETS.
It was horrible, no bounce and it was FREEZING!
We had some time till our thunder fastpass so we went to pirates. The lines tonight were nothing! It was just to cold of a night for people I guess.
I only prayed that we didn't end up in the front seat. It's too cold to get wet. We were in the middle and not in the splash zone.
Then it was time for some goat effect. I was on the left side this time and goat effect turned me into a limp noodle causing me too crash into alish. This only caused a fit of laughter from both of us, which makes it the best ride ever! Not to mention the fact that wishes was going on as well.
We walked towards haunted mansion and danced to wishes. We only went to the haunted mansion to see their winter wear. Sorry not sorry.
When we got into the stretching room it was only me and alish. SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES. alish started running around, we were then joined by a family of 3 and the HM cm. Where we had a dance party, but more like a stretching party, pretty much the best experience at the haunted mansion ever!
Things turned weird but first we heard the talking gargoyles and then were ushered out to the ghost host picture room to the other stretching room. Then ushered out of that and into the hallway to the end of the ride. Where the cm there asked if we had a card to get through the handicap entrance. We told her we were just told to go here after the stretching room and got right on.
Alish showed me another hidden jack skellington on a book in the attic! We ended up getting stuck right next to it, she tried to take a picture but it didn't turn out. But it's there!
After haunted mansion we walked towards fantasyland. Where we found ourselves at philharmagic. As alish would say she paid for some classy seats, aka we sat in the second row in the middle.
We decided to call it a night. As we were leaving celebrate the magic was playing and of course it was the Elsa part. ENOUGH ELSA!
Alish dropped me off home and I wasn't expecting what was coming next.
Brittany and I have been distant for some time. I just assumed it was because every week we had friends and family come visit and we only saw each other in passing. So tonight she addressed it, we didn’t really say much about it. She went to the gym and I went to sleep.

Wednesday October 29
Today I set my alarm for 9:30, which then turned to 10, then 10:30 and then finally I got up at 11. It was my day off and I was planning on going to see festival of fantasy because it’s been far to long since I’ve seen it.
I headed over to the kingdom around 1:30. When I got there I browsed the shops and hung out around Main Street. That's literally one of my favorite things, just sitting on Main Street listening to the music, taking in the atmosphere. You can't really do that while on vacation, I mean you could but most people jump from attraction to attraction.
Yay for finally getting the Halloween ears!
Then it was time! Time for some festival of fantasy back in my life. I changed up my viewing location and found a spot on Main Street.
Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly
I have dreams like you, no really, just much less touchy feely
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
After the parade I headed out of the kingdom and over to property control. Good thing I went because I got half of my Christmas shopping done. Plus I got me some pretty sweet kicks for $9.
I headed back home around 5ish. I texted Danielle because she is pretty much the hardest person to shop for and since she was coming down next week I just wanted to have somewhat of an idea of what she and Adam wanted.
When I got home I had some dinner and pulled everything out to start working on Jessie's shoes. But then I got a missed FaceTime from Michael, at first I thought it was a random accident dial but I got another one. It was fun week at dance and we I finally got to be apart of the lyrical party class! I was happy that I was actually off today because I'm never off on Wednesday nights. The call didn't last very long because they actually had to be somewhat productive during class.
I didn't do much with my night afterwards. Like literally nothing.
Thursday October 30
Today my alarm went off at 9. I was confused to why I even set an alarm. Then remembered I did nothing on my day off. So I had to get up do some laundry and work my Jessie's shoes.
Brittany texted me telling me how much she loves the fort. Duh it's perfect! Then she told me how Disney is forever tracking guests. Now you get your ride photos straight to your photopass, is it magic or creepy. They now also take videos on the tower of terror that you can purchase. It's so strange. And I guess they have been working on this idea for a while since I just got a tot video from when ma and pa came to visit back in september.
It hit 3 and I made my way to work. When I got there I got zone 10. Something new! Something boring. Zone 10 is splitsville to cirque and super small. There was nothing for me to do and no one wanted to trade pins because I have stupid ones. Struggling hard tonight
Managers are always out and about. Tonight Richard was the closing manager. He found me in my zone and we ended up talking about Disney cruises.
I went over to splitsville and listened to the band playing. Then an engineering cm came up to me and told me I was looking beautiful today. Not to mention that this was the same one who made a comment about my native eyes. My life...but really please don't talk to me I'm socially awkward.
Then I had a crazy guest come up to me telling me that I need to quit the dcp because it's slavery. But like if slavery means getting into the parks for free sign me up to be a slave forever!
Overall tonight was quite the entertaining night.
Friday October 31
HAPPY HALLOWISHES EVERYONE!
It was Halloween and I was headed over to Epcot with katt! She asked if I wanted to hang out and do some food and wine. I wasn't working till 4 so I had some time to spare.
So I dressed festive because starting tomorrow Halloween will be in the past and Christmas will be upon us.
I met up with katt at the bus stop. Then some of her friends from work also joined in on the fun.
The only time I have been back behind Epcot is when I came for the soarin tour. So trying to manage my way around would be a nightmare, thank god I had 4 girls who worked there.
Our day was spent around the world showcase. It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze.
We hopped from stand to stand. I didn't really participate because I'm a poor cp trying to save money.
While we were at the Ireland stand katt noticed character training so we went to go check it out.
There we found bolt
And Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Then we made our way to France. Where I finally got grey goose slush, I've been waiting for this moment forever. And it was worth the wait.
We walked the showcase some more, browsed some shops. When we hit Italy I had to get going. I said my goodbyes and headed to the odyssey. But I made a quick stop at Singapore to get the lemongrass chicken. It was delicious and I wish they gave me more.
I was able to figure out my way back to cast services and got a bus back to Patterson. It was once again that time to get ready for work.
When I got to work I dreaded where I would be placed. It's Halloween and I can only imagine how the crowds will be tonight. Thankfully I got 7,8,9 assist. It was not such a bad night at all. So many costumes, so many Elsas. However I saw a real legit Flynn rider.
A lot of guests thought there was trick or treating tonight but they were sadly wrong. No free candy here.
However all the Elsa's were causing a brisk night outside tonight. The breeze itself was rough and I had to put on the winter jacket we were given.
Before my last break there was a cp guest show party. A total of 6 of us helped take out one trash run. Then zone 11 got called for a code v on a bus. Me and another girl went for moral support.
The rest of the night was spent with Brandon who was zone 11. Why he was hanging out in zone 7 beats me. He was having a rough night. He had to deal with a drunk guest who kept playing with the defibrillator box and screaming that he needed his kids.
So we danced with guests while the musicians did there things and passed out Mickey stickers.
It was a pretty solid night until he got a call over the radio saying he had an overflowing trash can. He got mad that his friend who called it in couldn't just take that can and that another cp gave him a sassy remark.
I helped him get everything taking care of while he just vented. Oh what a night...literally we were singing this all night.
After everything was all said it done it was time to get ready to leave. We went to the Disney quest break room (which was my first time) and behind quest Brandon said how he wants to do a flash mob thing before our program ends. So we were goofing around and tossing around our brooms.
It was time to head back to cast services and call it a night. Peace out dtd see ya tomorrow.

I'm so sorry things aren't exactly what you thought it would be with Brittany. My daughter is in college and has roommate issues as well. It isn't always easy living with others. Hopefully y'all can work through it. Good luck.

The Never Ending Work Week Week 13 Pt 1
Monday November 3
Today Brittany was off again this time staying the week at all-star movies with her friend Leah.
Alish picked me up at around 10 and we headed to studios for the morning. The weather was heating back up again. There was a cool breeze so it was sweater weather and it was perfect!
First things first was tot. Then we went and did rockin roller coaster.
Thank god we had fastpasses because it was a pretty crowded day at the parks. We walked around the park aimlessly and found our way to one mans dream. This movie is enough to me cry, Walt Disney guys, what a guy.
Next it was time to find some lunch before we left. We walked through streets of America making me super excited about seeing them for the first time! Backlot was the chosen one because we hoped to see Zoe. She wasn't there. We split some buffalo chicken and I used a free drink coupon from our holiday booklet, and the whole meal ended up being free! SCORE!
We left studios and I went to guest relations. Brittany wanted to see if I could get the comp ticket we got for fantasmic for her to use on Leah. It ended up not being able to happen. So we left.
We didn't look where we parked earlier and were looking lost in the parking lot. Casual.
Off to magic kingdom we went, blasting some tay Tay swift.
We parked at the contemporary and walked over to the kingdom. When we got there we got our spot at the train station for festival of fantasy. We were about 2 hours early...yes we were those people. In that time we watched/ heard dream along with Mickey twice. We really had nothing to do anyways and the park was crowded so why not just enjoy one another's company.
Randy and his sister joined us at 2:30ish. Giving me alish time to run to the ice cream parlor to get a sundae to share. This is when I saw some familiar faces from work back home and I avoided them at all cost.
Festival of fantasy puts me in a good mood. I love everything about it. It makes me so happy! And sometimes if you’re missing home or having a bad work week this parade can just lift your spirit.
However I was a little mad at myself for not bringing my camera today for classy pics.
Post parade crowds give me anxiety
We waited for the crowds to go down below. Then alish and I headed to get another fastpass for later. Thunder it was! That wasn't until much later so we browsed the emporium and all the Christmas merch. Then we went to the carpets. We waited 25 minutes for those carpets, dedication and it's finest. We however watched the Tokyo parade to pass the time, alish has been talking non-stop about riding the elephant in the parade. I must say that parade is pretty cool.
There was no bounce in our carpets.
At this time I kept reminder her that she needed to call ma because she needed to know what was going on with her life. So she called ma and we walked over to the space arcade so I could charge my phone and relax in a porthole. Once they finished talking we were off to the people mover.
Then we met up with randy and his sister and went to the laugh floor. Randy was the chosen one for Randell!
Randy and his sister were off to finish their day together in the magic kingdom while alish and I wondered around. Surprise surprise. We headed to the other side of the park and decided on the jungle cruise. Then we did the carpets again. It was the most awkward flight yet! First a group of girls took our carpet so we just took theirs and then we had hitchhiker jump in the back of our carpet. Like what? Why are you in our carpet?!
The cm was getting annoyed by them because first they didn't understand how to use the buckle then they wouldn't give him the film card back.
Then it was time for our thunder fastpass. Back row, looking back the whole time. Different experience to be had.
We left after and headed to our home away from home, fort wilderness. I can't even begin to describe how much I love it there.
When we got there we headed to the crockets tavern take out and ordered a feast. She got the nachos I got the chicken dinner.
After pigging out we got some hot chocolate and browsed the settlement. I just need all the fort merchandise and my life will be complete. We then caught the boat to the contemporary.
When the boat pulled up this girl about 3 said to the boat driver "we have to ask you a question....my mommys gonna ask it" they were waiting for the water pageant. We boarded and the little girl was playing with the sign on the rope. It became a game between her and the cm and it was the cutest thing to watch. My heart couldn't handle the cuteness. That cm was creating a magical moment out of something so simple.
We got to the contemporary and saw Peter Pan hanging out with the pirate pals voyage. I want to do this!
We parted ways, alish went to her car to head to west clock to meet up with Danielle to work out and I waited for the bus and headed home.
Tuesday November 4
This morning I started packing away my life to send back home. When January arrived and my program ends I will be traveling back home alone. That only leaves me with 2 suitcases, unlike the 6-7 suitcases I came down with.
I caught up on revenge and finished my feast from last night. It was that time, time for a long 7 day work week. But in 8 days I will be on an official DISNEY VACATION!!!
When I got to dtd let's talk about how today was the day the bus stop changed to across the street at team disney. Talk about a nice long walk ahead of me now. Then to make it better there is now only 1 computer for everyone to use to sign in and out of work.
I got zone 7 tonight, easy peasy.
It's the zone where you do nothing and the trash cans are never even used. Like I didn't even really need to do a run at the end of the night, but I did.
Eddy makes my night aka dancing gramps. He is just always having the time of his life.
When the night ended I thought I would have to walk to the new cast service building across the street to catch the bus. However the bus was at the normal stop at the normal time and I couldn't be happier!
When I got home I stayed up reading all night because I guess I've turned into that girl.
Wednesday November 5
I set my alarm for 9 but forgot to turn it off silent from work so I woke up at 10:30. The bus was coming and I needed to go get groceries. There was no time to look presentable, the world was just going to have to accept bum Sam today.
With grocery shopping done I went to the clubhouse to get my magic band that came in. While I was there I also picked up Brittany and Meagan's. I got the best snapchat ever today. Cause you know I get snaps from Aladdin and jasmine hanging out, casual.
It was time to get ready for work and I know have to leave around 2:45 to make it to work on time. When I got to work I got 3 & 4 assist. Such an easy night.
We had a new cp who picked up a shift at dtd tonight. He was zone 3 so good deed for today was checked off, I showed him around. He works at mk but hates it so he gives away all his shifts and picks up other shifts around wdw.
Tonight I hung out at the dance party and that was my night. I was totally upset that I got no FaceTime from dance tonight. Like what a joke!
Tonight I was entertained by a wasted girl on my walk back to the cast building. But really I never want to be in that state, her friends were trying to control her but she was just stumbling everywhere. Not classy at all. But you do you girl.
Let's talk about the new bus stop for us CPs. It literally is the worst at night. I'm pretty sure this is how I'm going to die. Before we were around people and now we walk down a dark road near team disney and it is just super sketchy. However there is a security officer there, I feel sorry for him for getting stuck with that. Just watching over us poor CPs making sure we don't get murdered.

I caught up on revenge and finished my feast from last night. It was that time, time for a long 7 day work week. But in 8 days I will be on an official DISNEY VACATION!!!
When I got to dtd let's talk about how today was the day the bus stop changed to across the street at team disney. Talk about a nice long walk ahead of me now. Then to make it better there is now only 1 computer for everyone to use to sign in and out of work.
I got zone 7 tonight, easy peasy.
It's the zone where you do nothing and the trash cans are never even used. Like I didn't even really need to do a run at the end of the night, but I did.
Eddy makes my night aka dancing gramps. He is just always having the time of his life.
When the night ended I thought I would have to walk to the new cast service building across the street to catch the bus. However the bus was at the normal stop at the normal time and I couldn't be happier!
When I got home I stayed up reading all night because I guess I've turned into that girl.
Wednesday November 5
I set my alarm for 9 but forgot to turn it off silent from work so I woke up at 10:30. The bus was coming and I needed to go get groceries. There was no time to look presentable, the world was just going to have to accept bum Sam today.
With grocery shopping done I went to the clubhouse to get my magic band that came in. While I was there I also picked up Brittany and Meagan's. I got the best snapchat ever today. Cause you know I get snaps from Aladdin and jasmine hanging out, casual.
It was time to get ready for work and I know have to leave around 2:45 to make it to work on time. When I got to work I got 3 & 4 assist. Such an easy night.
We had a new cp who picked up a shift at dtd tonight. He was zone 3 so good deed for today was checked off, I showed him around. He works at mk but hates it so he gives away all his shifts and picks up other shifts around wdw.
Tonight I hung out at the dance party and that was my night. I was totally upset that I got no FaceTime from dance tonight. Like what a joke!
Tonight I was entertained by a wasted girl on my walk back to the cast building. But really I never want to be in that state, her friends were trying to control her but she was just stumbling everywhere. Not classy at all. But you do you girl.
Let's talk about the new bus stop for us CPs. It literally is the worst at night. I'm pretty sure this is how I'm going to die. Before we were around people and now we walk down a dark road near team disney and it is just super sketchy. However there is a security officer there, I feel sorry for him for getting stuck with that. Just watching over us poor CPs making sure we don't get murdered.

Sorry for the no face time fun week was the week before I had serious choreography for them to do that night. I have an idea that is possibly like
50% go forward with. It will rely on me having to construct a prop that could cost around $150.00. Like I said only 50% possibility of it happening. Have fun on your VACA. ttyl
