The Week We Self Termed Week 8 Pt 1
Monday September 29
Today was an early wake up call. It was audition day to try to extend our programs in entertainment. Alex and bobby picked up Brittany and I and we all went to animal kingdom rehearsal hall. It was packed! The line was out the door and was looping like crazy. It started at 10 and even before 10 people were walking out already being cut.
Bobby and Alex are a riot. Bobby can't dance but can sure do a good job at imitating Snow White in the electrical parade. He then told us how he went to school with a guy that was now part of entertainment. He told him that at the audition they were looking for tiana "specifically tiana" which we kept saying throughout the whole day.
There were sooo many people! I got the number 557, so it was just a long morning of waiting around. After we checked in we all watched these 2 guys try to break their necks and other people trying to warm everyone up. We waited about 2.5 hours before we actually auditioned.
It was our turn and we learned the easiest dance ever. She taught it fast and then it was time to do it. We went across the room in fours. Then once everyone went it was time for the cut. Pretty much each group of 60 only 4 we asked to stay. In our group they were all guys.
I wasn't actually mad or sad on how the audition went. The email said they were looking for people shorter then 5 foot and taller in the 6 foot range. I am neither. Plus if I had gotten it I would have had to turn it down. So everything happens for a reason.
Since all four of us didn't make it we decided to go out to lunch to celebrate. We went to sweet tomatoes, which I have never been too. On our way there we jammed out to shake it off by Taylor swift because it's our jam.
Sweet tomatoes is a soup, salad, some pasta and dessert buffet. CMs also get a discount so it was perfect. I ate so much! The baked potato soup was my all time favorite. One of the workers there is pretty much in love with bobby, they chatted through our whole meal you think they met each other a long time ago. But nope he only met her once before. Bobby is really outgoing and will talk to about anyone. I mean he has 12k followers on Instagram...he is basically famous.
We all felt super stuffed. Brittany and Alex had to go work their attractions in tomorrowland so we took a rode trip to the kingdom. On our way there we had a nice jam session to festival of fantasy! Brittany and Alex headed to catch the west clock bus while bobby and I headed to property control. There was a lack of merchandise today, however I found the Minnie capris I've been looking at forever for only $9.
We then waited for the bus back to Chatham. Where it decided to downpour, thank god for the umbrellas at the west clock bus stop! The bus came when the rain stopped. On our way home bobby started singing dream along with mickey and I couldn't help but join in however a girl in the front of the bus was not amused...we weren't even being all that loud. Also I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to leave Florida and go back home. Who is going to sing all the Disney show music with me?!
I got home and literally died in bed for a little bit. The amount I ate at sweet tomatoes was settling in and making me feel so sick. I called Gma and we chatted for a bit. Then I decided to check out the wreck it ralph night they were having at the commons. There weren't many people there for the amount of people in the program however there was still a room full of people. I got my picture with vanellope, grabbed some cotton candy, popcorn, pop and candy. They were getting ready to show wreck it ralph but I decided to go back home and watch it in my own warm comfy bed.
When I started the movie ma called me. We chatted about life, then I had to call Gma back. She put in a request that I update this more. Wreck it ralph soon ended and Brittany was home. We were both starting to feel hungry again so at you know 10:30 we decided it would be good to have some dinner. And what goes better with dinner then catching up on some once upon a time?
Once upon a time got taken over by the frozen take over. We were not amused at all...this frozen obsession needs to stop! However cappie from Greek is kristoff and I couldn't be happier! Besides the whole frozen thing I'm glad to see hook again!
After once ended Brittany went to sleep and I caught up on revenge. I'm more about following revenge then once. The worst part is that we were watching these shows on Netflix and each commercial break they showed the stupid Annabelle commercial and each time I wanted to cry a little. It hit 1:30 and I decided it was probably a good time to sleep since tomorrow was a full day of YOLO crew fun!
Tuesday September 30
(I can’t upload my water camera pics because I forgot the memory card the camera card slips in to)
Today I was awoken from a text from alish around 10:30. We were planning on doing blizzard in the morning but it seemed to be a dreary day. However around 11 we still decided to go.
It wasn't raining by the time we got to blizzard so that was good. We did some slides first and by our second slide it started pouring. It wasn't any lightning so we were still able to stay and enjoy the park. We then moved to the wave pool were we bobbed up and down for the longest time. It started really pouring but still no lightning.
We finished our day with some more slides. Where it once again came down. While going down the slides it felt like we were getting hit from little pellets. We left shortly after and headed back to Patterson. We all hung out and changed. Then we were off to lunch. Today's lunch was noodles and company. It was literally so delicious. I got the new buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. If it has hot sauce I will most likely eat it!
After lunch we headed to walmart. Tonight was all dedicated to an early Halloween party. So we needed some pumpkins to carve. We also picked up some random groceries.
We also found the lorax hanging around walmart
Then we headed to target. We were in need of hocus pocus and some Halloween decorations. We spent so much time in the Halloween section. We had too much fun dressing up.
After like an hour or so we made our way back to alish and Randy's apartment. We started off night off by making some cupcakes and cake. While that baked we went to the computer lab and printed off some pumpkin carving stencils. When we got back the bake goods were ready.
It was pumpkin carving time. So we put on hocus pocus and got to work. By the time the movie ended we were all finished.
Around 9 we put in nightmare before Christmas and had some chili cheese nachos and a huge dessert assortment.
Beware of hitch hiking ghosts!
Once the movie ended it was almost 10:30 so we packed up all our stuff and headed back to Patterson. On the way home we told alish the specifically tiana story and were literally cracking up the whole way home. Then Brittany was being the lorax. Tiredness was hitting us hard!
It looked like we were just moving in with all the stuff we brought back with us. On the way home Brittany sent bobby me saying "specifically tiana" and when we got home him and Alex made us a video. Brittany and I were literally dying.
We had so much energy that we started decorating our room with all our Halloween decorations. Brittany skyped with her parents, we watched some duggars (it's been a while) and settled down for the night.
Wednesday October 1
Today was a start of another workweek for me. I hung out in the apartment the whole morning/ afternoon before I had to go to work. It has been so rainy here that on dreary days I just want to lay in my bed all day.
I worked my normal 4-12:30. I was assigned restroom 3. These include memories (restroom at the bus stop), Christmas (outside wolfpuck express) and toy (Inside the store). I haven't done these restrooms yet since I started so it was a whole new experience. The night goes by a lot faster when you have 3 restrooms instead of 1. Nothing really excited happened and I was out by 12:30.
On my way home Brittany was telling me to come over to Alex’s when I got home. They were having a pancake party and dancing to FoF. Like that's my kind of party. However the bus was late to dtd, we made the longest stop at vista, so by the time I got home there was no point in going. However Brittany was sending me the best snap videos of bobby and Alex being belle and the beast on their float.

Week 8 Pt 2
Thursday October 2
Today we were awoken to the best news ever….WE HAVE BED BUGS!!!! Our roommates across the room from us called to have an inspection done. Turns out one girl in there has bedbugs. So Olivia told us that we have bus bugs everywhere in our apartment and that people are coming to our apartment tomorrow to clean it. We have to take all our clothes out of our room wash them, dry them and then place them in a plastic bag. EVERYTHING! Even the laundry I just did 2 days ago...
Jessie another roommate, came home and we went through the whole spiel. It was going on 1 and we all started getting down to business. Not only did our clothes have to be bagged but also everything in our room had to be bagged. Literally we had to clean out our rooms with nothing in them and put them all in bags and store them in the living room.
Brittany and I did 2 big garbage bag filled laundry. Walking to the laundry room was a sight to see. With that laundry going we went back to the apartment and got to packing. Everything needed to be out of our room and in bags. I threw everything into my 2 suitcases and wheeled then into the living room. All the Halloween decorations we put up needed to come down. All my pictures on my bulletin board needed to come down. The whole morning I was texting Ma pretty much hating my life and sometimes you just need someone to complain too.
I then twitted about self terming with all the packing up photos. I got some people really good with that joke. Sorry for scary those who tweeted me back, Brittany and I just needed something to laugh about during this whole situation.
I was so frustrated with this whole situation. It got to 2:30 and I started scrambling. I needed to get my laundry out of the dryer, eat lunch, and change for work before my bus came at 3. When I was coming back from the laundry room a lady from the front desk stopped by to talk to us and see how we were doing. She told us how all our managers were contacted just in case we were late or had to called in we wouldn’t get penalized. I had no time to be late or call in so by 3 I was briskly walking to Chatham.
I made it to work on time. And with the hectic morning I forgot that it was custodial/ parking appreciation day. The managers had a big feast for us. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, chips, cookies, salad and cake. We also got a mug and water bottle.
We got the first Disney Springs merchandise! And yes we use pollo campero cups pretty much everyday, and so many guests still ask me where it is.
My day was somewhat getting better. But then my manager came up and gave me and envelope with my name on it....that's when I got termed.
Just kidding! When he handed it to me he said "for your room situation" it was just a letter saying the things we already knew about how to go about bed bugs.
With all the food I was enjoying I forgot to clock in meaning I got stuck in zone 11. The zone where you are bound to get a code v. Just another thing to add to my fabulous day.
My night went by quickly. Nothing happened. And I did not have one code v! It was literally a miracle!!!
I was asked by my fellow CPs if I wanted to go to splitsville after work, but I said no because I had to go pack up my room. Stupid bed bugs.
However on our long walk back from the west side we were quoting mean girls like pros...after all it was October 3. "On October 3rd he asked me what day it was. It's October 3rd."
The bus was late again tonight. I got home and my room was so bare. I took a quick shower and then it was time to pack up the rest of my stuff. The only thing left to pack tomorrow morning was all my bedding. It was 2am and both Brittany and I were wide awake. That's when we heard something outside our window...then we heard it again. There's a window right above my head and I literally jumped out of bed and hid on Brittany's bed. She was the bigger person and checked outside, nothing was there though. After the mini panic it was time to get some shut eye before our early wake up call.
Friday October 3
It was a bright early morning. Brittany and I packed up all our bedding and added it to the pile in the living room. Zoe told us that people were coming at 10 so a little after 10 Brittany and I headed to dtd. I needed to drop off everything I needed for work later today since there was no going back to the apartment all day.
We then walked around the marketplace for a bit. TrenD, co ops (which sells Laila by the way) and the Christmas store. By this time Brittany's friends were planning on going to lunch. So we caught the bus and headed to vista. Gina (another space worker) and her roommate Taylor (Stormalong bay lifeguard) picked us up and we headed to BJs right across the street from vista where we met up with Jorge (another space worker).
The service was a little slow. And by slow I mean Gina never got her sandwich, but she did get her meal for free. Taylor was telling us how she is doing the tower of terror run and it so happened that our server was also doing the run.
Gina drove us back to vista where Brittany caught a bus to magic kingdom to hang out with bobby and I caught a bus back to dtd. I got to work an hour and a half early. When I first walked into the cast service center one of my mangers was there so he asked how everything with the bed bugs was going. We had a nice little chat, then I got ready for work and hung out until it was time to clock in.
Today I started at 3:45 and scheduled for a meeting. I had no clue what this was. So at 3:30 I clocked in and found 2 other CPs that also had the meeting. We asked our manager Jason where we needed to go. He said it was above splitsville so we had to go wait for someone to come get us behind splits. We were greeted by a cast member and we squeezed about 14 people in one elevator.
This so called meeting was actually a special preview of Disney springs. This was the room that Disney brought special guest up to, to discuss partnerships with the new project as well as do announcements about the expansion. . The coolest thing was that they had a small model of the overall transformation. But the best part was that they did a projection show on the model just like celebrate the magic. It was literally the coolest thing. I am pretty excited to see the finished product however that will take about 20-22 months.
After our meeting we headed back to the cast service building and hung out for a good half hour. When I clocked in I got 7,8,9 assist. Pretty much the easiest night of my life. I just walked around the west side the whole night. I did a lot of pin trading. One little girl traded me and gave me a Percy pin. I literally snatched that up and put it in my pocket. Alish has been looking for that pin for awhile.
A little before 11, Jason (manager) asked me to cover zone 5 because the girl got her ER (early release). So I just walked zone 5 for the rest of my night. In zone 5 I met a cm engineer who was nice. Although he asked me what nationality I was, and when I said Native American he was like yes you have those Indian eyes. Aka I got the chub under the eyes, Thanks Pa!
I then walked zone 5. When I got to the side of world of Disney I hung out for a bit. That's when bobby was calling my name. Not bobby from our program but bobby alish’s friend who gave us all the discounts for the first yolo trip. His boyfriend Jordan was the one to actually recognize me as Alicia's sister. I chatted with them for a bit, bobby said that they got here tonight and were only in town till tomorrow...aka he was having a yolo trip of his own. It was nice to see him again and have a visitor at work.
My night ended at 12:30 and once again the bus was 20 minutes late. This set off my whole night and man do I wish I knew what laid ahead. I knew when I got home that I needed to do all my bedding, washed and dried. I wasn't planning on it but then I decided to do the rest of my wash as well since I could put everything in at the same time. So when I got home literally everything in the living room was mine. Everybody was home to put their room back together earlier in the night. Brittany had her whole side put back together while mine just stood bare.
I started my many trips to the laundry room. During my last load the stress of the past 2 days and the lack of sleep hit me and hit me hard. I was full on breakdown mode in the laundry room. And by breakdown mode I don't mean I was full on crying, it was more like overwhelming feeling fighting back tear and just wishing I could just got home. It was officially the first day I just wanted to go home and forget everything that happened. I just wanted to sleep but that wasn't happening anytime soon. I texted alish even though I knew she was sleeping since she had to work iin the morning, so I left her a nice long message. I just wanted someone to talk to but everyone was sleeping...I guess that's what happens when it's 3am.
I was done with walking back and forth to the laundry room so I hung out in the laundry room for a good 40 minutes. During this time I read a book I recently downloaded called twenty-eight and a half wishes. I calmed down and just sat and waited for my laundry. When my laundry was done I folded it right there so I wouldn't have to deal with that tomorrow. I took the 3 loads of wash back to my apartment and left them in the closet. I wasn't feeling the whole making my bed. I put my mattress pads on with the pad cover, threw down my comforter and slept on that. The only thing was now I was wide-awake. It was hitting 4am and I felt like I could run a marathon. Somehow I fell to sleep.
Saturday October 4
I woke up at 11 I wanted to sleep longer and knew tonight was going to be rough to get through. But I needed to start putting my room back together. I woke up to a text from alish saying that she would pick me up tonight so I could get away and just sleep at her place. We both had a rough night last night and planned just a Alicia and Sam night. I honestly don't know what I would do without her here. I am forever grateful to have a sister who looks out for me.
I got all my clothes put away, the decorations were just going to have to wait till another day. It was 2 and it was that time to start moving for work. I made a quick stop at the patterson clubhouse to pick up 2 packages that were waiting for me. One was from ma, it was just the camera battery charger that pa took home after their visit and a grey Cami. The other was from Gma she sent me some wonderful banana bread, candy, ramen noodle
rotfl
and some pasta.
I called Gma right away and thanked her. It wasn't a very long call because I had to catch the bus in 20 minutes. When I got to work I got WOD female. Thinking it was just going to be an easy night, boy was I wrong.
It was so crowded at dtd tonight you would have thought they were giving away free things. The line for the restroom was out the doors to WOD themselves for most of the night. There was literally no way of cleaning that restroom. I tried but then at times I just gave up, I wasn't in the mood for mean guests who were disgusted by a little piece of toilet paper on the ground, yet they jumped in the stall before I could even try to pan and broom.
So most of my night was just walking world of Disney store. I was in charge of both tonight so it was kind of ok. Two things happened tonight, 1 completely added to my crabbiness of the past 2 days the other one made me question life.
First I had an over flowing toilet. So I mopped it up and put that lovely out of order sign on it, which no guest was happy about with how long the line was. I got the water mopped up in no time, however with automatic toilets comes those random flushes. I was doomed right then and there. I called guestshow 1 (coordinator) and someone to come help. We were able to clean up the mess and called Maintenance to come fix it.
At the end of my night I did my last full on cleaning. There was just one more stall that I needed to take the trash out of. However this lady was literally in the stall for a good 30 minutes. I saw that she had her teenage daughter go into the stall and then the daughter left. I ended up leaving and coming back to the nastiest smell ever, I wanted to vomit. I sprayed the whole bathroom down with citrus ginger. Then I saw the daughter come back it and threw a pair of pants to her mom. This lady pooped her pants! The mom came out and asked for a bag, she bagged her pants up and handed them to her daughter to hold. The daughter was grossed out then she just threw them out. Then they left.
So I was cleaning up the restroom. Pulling all the trash bags. Then the daughter comes running in, grabbed the bag from the garbage and starts digging threw the poopy pants. She kept shouting they aren't in here, her mom then comes in running grabbing the bag and searching. She had thrown out her car keys but luckily found them just in time before I took that trash out. On their way out the mom told her daughter to swear that she wouldn't tell her father.
It was an interesting night to say the least. I also finished twenty-eight and a half wishes, of course it is one of those books with a cliffhanger and has 3 other books in the series. I highly recommend it. I only read it because Brittany was trying to send me Gone Girl but it didn't work so I instead I downloaded a free book and got hooked. Now I have to read the whole series.
I clocked out at 12:30 and walked quickly to the bus stop. Transtar must have gotten a new bus driver because we once again had to wait 30 minutes. This was getting old.
However a lovely cp named Robbie asked if we all wanted a ride home. She is literally the best! We dropped 1 girl off at vista, another at Chatham and then we stopped at Patterson. That's when I found out her building is right across from mine.
I made it home after 1 and texted Brittany saying I would be at Epcot tomorrow for maelstroms last day. Brittany worked till 3am so I new that she wouldn’t be up to waking up so early.
Sunday October 5
Today I woke around 8:30, I planned on going on maelstrom one last time. The weather today was just like fall, when I left for Epcot it was a whomping 57 degrees out. Luckily I wore my long sleeve I love Norge shirt but I regretted not wearing pants.
I got to Epcot around 10:30 and when I got to Norway the line for the maelstrom was crazy! I'm so happy the ride is getting so much love on its last day. The sun was beating down making me glad about my decision to wear shorts. It was 10 minutes before the ride opened and the line was pretty much looped all the way around the Norway pavilion.
They opened the doors early and and everyone cheered. Thankfully I only waited 20 minutes to ride. It was going on 2 hours for pretty much the rest of the day.
“You are not the first to pass this way, nor will you be the last. Those who seek the spirit of Norway face peril and adventure”
After my last goodbye to maelstrom. I did my usual Norway routine. This includes ride the maelstrom, spray some Laila (since I left me collection of it at home) buy and indulge is a school bread. It was wonderful!
I then headed back to the front of the park. It was after 11 and the flood gates of food and wine had been released. Before leaving Epcot I needed a nice refreshing beverage so pumpkin spice frapp it was.
I headed back home after this. Luckily the day got a little warmer, the sun was hot if you sat in it. When I returned home I had a good hour before I had to start thinking about getting ready for work. So I watched some parent trap. Brittany left shortly after, Diego wanted to go to studios. However I couldn't go because I had to go to work.
3 o'clock rolled around and I was on my way to work. When I got there I clocked in and got zone 3. When I have zone 3 my night goes fast! And I love that. I probably pulled the trash around gharidelli about 4 times throughout the night.
When I did my first trash run I went to the compactor and one of my coworkers told me it was almost full. This is the worst because then I would have to start taking my trash all the way behind rainforest. However that wasn't the case. Many people refuse to push the button to the compactor, and you have to push it up to 3-4 times. I guess this guy was unaware. So all-night he kept saying it was almost full when it really wasn't.
Today my weekend started to get better. Us CPs just got a raise (more than a dollar!) so everyone was talking about that. Then it was also my Friday. I clocked out at 12:28 and of course the bus wasn't coming for another 30 minutes. It was my lucky night though because I got another ride home and this time the first stop was Patterson. I got home when the bus was just getting to dtd. I was quite the happy girl and passed out.

Thursday October 2
Today we were awoken to the best news ever….WE HAVE BED BUGS!!!! Our roommates across the room from us called to have an inspection done. Turns out one girl in there has bedbugs. So Olivia told us that we have bus bugs everywhere in our apartment and that people are coming to our apartment tomorrow to clean it. We have to take all our clothes out of our room wash them, dry them and then place them in a plastic bag. EVERYTHING! Even the laundry I just did 2 days ago...
Jessie another roommate, came home and we went through the whole spiel. It was going on 1 and we all started getting down to business. Not only did our clothes have to be bagged but also everything in our room had to be bagged. Literally we had to clean out our rooms with nothing in them and put them all in bags and store them in the living room.
Brittany and I did 2 big garbage bag filled laundry. Walking to the laundry room was a sight to see. With that laundry going we went back to the apartment and got to packing. Everything needed to be out of our room and in bags. I threw everything into my 2 suitcases and wheeled then into the living room. All the Halloween decorations we put up needed to come down. All my pictures on my bulletin board needed to come down. The whole morning I was texting Ma pretty much hating my life and sometimes you just need someone to complain too.
I then twitted about self terming with all the packing up photos. I got some people really good with that joke. Sorry for scary those who tweeted me back, Brittany and I just needed something to laugh about during this whole situation.
I was so frustrated with this whole situation. It got to 2:30 and I started scrambling. I needed to get my laundry out of the dryer, eat lunch, and change for work before my bus came at 3. When I was coming back from the laundry room a lady from the front desk stopped by to talk to us and see how we were doing. She told us how all our managers were contacted just in case we were late or had to called in we wouldn’t get penalized. I had no time to be late or call in so by 3 I was briskly walking to Chatham.
I made it to work on time. And with the hectic morning I forgot that it was custodial/ parking appreciation day. The managers had a big feast for us. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, chips, cookies, salad and cake. We also got a mug and water bottle.
We got the first Disney Springs merchandise! And yes we use pollo campero cups pretty much everyday, and so many guests still ask me where it is.
My day was somewhat getting better. But then my manager came up and gave me and envelope with my name on it....that's when I got termed.
Just kidding! When he handed it to me he said "for your room situation" it was just a letter saying the things we already knew about how to go about bed bugs.
With all the food I was enjoying I forgot to clock in meaning I got stuck in zone 11. The zone where you are bound to get a code v. Just another thing to add to my fabulous day.
My night went by quickly. Nothing happened. And I did not have one code v! It was literally a miracle!!!
I was asked by my fellow CPs if I wanted to go to splitsville after work, but I said no because I had to go pack up my room. Stupid bed bugs.
However on our long walk back from the west side we were quoting mean girls like pros...after all it was October 3. "On October 3rd he asked me what day it was. It's October 3rd."
The bus was late again tonight. I got home and my room was so bare. I took a quick shower and then it was time to pack up the rest of my stuff. The only thing left to pack tomorrow morning was all my bedding. It was 2am and both Brittany and I were wide awake. That's when we heard something outside our window...then we heard it again. There's a window right above my head and I literally jumped out of bed and hid on Brittany's bed. She was the bigger person and checked outside, nothing was there though. After the mini panic it was time to get some shut eye before our early wake up call.
Friday October 3
It was a bright early morning. Brittany and I packed up all our bedding and added it to the pile in the living room. Zoe told us that people were coming at 10 so a little after 10 Brittany and I headed to dtd. I needed to drop off everything I needed for work later today since there was no going back to the apartment all day.
We then walked around the marketplace for a bit. TrenD, co ops (which sells Laila by the way) and the Christmas store. By this time Brittany's friends were planning on going to lunch. So we caught the bus and headed to vista. Gina (another space worker) and her roommate Taylor (Stormalong bay lifeguard) picked us up and we headed to BJs right across the street from vista where we met up with Jorge (another space worker).
The service was a little slow. And by slow I mean Gina never got her sandwich, but she did get her meal for free. Taylor was telling us how she is doing the tower of terror run and it so happened that our server was also doing the run.
Gina drove us back to vista where Brittany caught a bus to magic kingdom to hang out with bobby and I caught a bus back to dtd. I got to work an hour and a half early. When I first walked into the cast service center one of my mangers was there so he asked how everything with the bed bugs was going. We had a nice little chat, then I got ready for work and hung out until it was time to clock in.
Today I started at 3:45 and scheduled for a meeting. I had no clue what this was. So at 3:30 I clocked in and found 2 other CPs that also had the meeting. We asked our manager Jason where we needed to go. He said it was above splitsville so we had to go wait for someone to come get us behind splits. We were greeted by a cast member and we squeezed about 14 people in one elevator.
This so called meeting was actually a special preview of Disney springs. This was the room that Disney brought special guest up to, to discuss partnerships with the new project as well as do announcements about the expansion. . The coolest thing was that they had a small model of the overall transformation. But the best part was that they did a projection show on the model just like celebrate the magic. It was literally the coolest thing. I am pretty excited to see the finished product however that will take about 20-22 months.
After our meeting we headed back to the cast service building and hung out for a good half hour. When I clocked in I got 7,8,9 assist. Pretty much the easiest night of my life. I just walked around the west side the whole night. I did a lot of pin trading. One little girl traded me and gave me a Percy pin. I literally snatched that up and put it in my pocket. Alish has been looking for that pin for awhile.
A little before 11, Jason (manager) asked me to cover zone 5 because the girl got her ER (early release). So I just walked zone 5 for the rest of my night. In zone 5 I met a cm engineer who was nice. Although he asked me what nationality I was, and when I said Native American he was like yes you have those Indian eyes. Aka I got the chub under the eyes, Thanks Pa!
I then walked zone 5. When I got to the side of world of Disney I hung out for a bit. That's when bobby was calling my name. Not bobby from our program but bobby alish’s friend who gave us all the discounts for the first yolo trip. His boyfriend Jordan was the one to actually recognize me as Alicia's sister. I chatted with them for a bit, bobby said that they got here tonight and were only in town till tomorrow...aka he was having a yolo trip of his own. It was nice to see him again and have a visitor at work.
My night ended at 12:30 and once again the bus was 20 minutes late. This set off my whole night and man do I wish I knew what laid ahead. I knew when I got home that I needed to do all my bedding, washed and dried. I wasn't planning on it but then I decided to do the rest of my wash as well since I could put everything in at the same time. So when I got home literally everything in the living room was mine. Everybody was home to put their room back together earlier in the night. Brittany had her whole side put back together while mine just stood bare.
I started my many trips to the laundry room. During my last load the stress of the past 2 days and the lack of sleep hit me and hit me hard. I was full on breakdown mode in the laundry room. And by breakdown mode I don't mean I was full on crying, it was more like overwhelming feeling fighting back tear and just wishing I could just got home. It was officially the first day I just wanted to go home and forget everything that happened. I just wanted to sleep but that wasn't happening anytime soon. I texted alish even though I knew she was sleeping since she had to work iin the morning, so I left her a nice long message. I just wanted someone to talk to but everyone was sleeping...I guess that's what happens when it's 3am.
I was done with walking back and forth to the laundry room so I hung out in the laundry room for a good 40 minutes. During this time I read a book I recently downloaded called twenty-eight and a half wishes. I calmed down and just sat and waited for my laundry. When my laundry was done I folded it right there so I wouldn't have to deal with that tomorrow. I took the 3 loads of wash back to my apartment and left them in the closet. I wasn't feeling the whole making my bed. I put my mattress pads on with the pad cover, threw down my comforter and slept on that. The only thing was now I was wide-awake. It was hitting 4am and I felt like I could run a marathon. Somehow I fell to sleep.
Saturday October 4
I woke up at 11 I wanted to sleep longer and knew tonight was going to be rough to get through. But I needed to start putting my room back together. I woke up to a text from alish saying that she would pick me up tonight so I could get away and just sleep at her place. We both had a rough night last night and planned just a Alicia and Sam night. I honestly don't know what I would do without her here. I am forever grateful to have a sister who looks out for me.
I got all my clothes put away, the decorations were just going to have to wait till another day. It was 2 and it was that time to start moving for work. I made a quick stop at the patterson clubhouse to pick up 2 packages that were waiting for me. One was from ma, it was just the camera battery charger that pa took home after their visit and a grey Cami. The other was from Gma she sent me some wonderful banana bread, candy, ramen noodle
rotfl and some pasta. I called Gma right away and thanked her. It wasn't a very long call because I had to catch the bus in 20 minutes. When I got to work I got WOD female. Thinking it was just going to be an easy night, boy was I wrong.
It was so crowded at dtd tonight you would have thought they were giving away free things. The line for the restroom was out the doors to WOD themselves for most of the night. There was literally no way of cleaning that restroom. I tried but then at times I just gave up, I wasn't in the mood for mean guests who were disgusted by a little piece of toilet paper on the ground, yet they jumped in the stall before I could even try to pan and broom.
So most of my night was just walking world of Disney store. I was in charge of both tonight so it was kind of ok. Two things happened tonight, 1 completely added to my crabbiness of the past 2 days the other one made me question life.
First I had an over flowing toilet. So I mopped it up and put that lovely out of order sign on it, which no guest was happy about with how long the line was. I got the water mopped up in no time, however with automatic toilets comes those random flushes. I was doomed right then and there. I called guestshow 1 (coordinator) and someone to come help. We were able to clean up the mess and called Maintenance to come fix it.
At the end of my night I did my last full on cleaning. There was just one more stall that I needed to take the trash out of. However this lady was literally in the stall for a good 30 minutes. I saw that she had her teenage daughter go into the stall and then the daughter left. I ended up leaving and coming back to the nastiest smell ever, I wanted to vomit. I sprayed the whole bathroom down with citrus ginger. Then I saw the daughter come back it and threw a pair of pants to her mom. This lady pooped her pants! The mom came out and asked for a bag, she bagged her pants up and handed them to her daughter to hold. The daughter was grossed out then she just threw them out. Then they left.
So I was cleaning up the restroom. Pulling all the trash bags. Then the daughter comes running in, grabbed the bag from the garbage and starts digging threw the poopy pants. She kept shouting they aren't in here, her mom then comes in running grabbing the bag and searching. She had thrown out her car keys but luckily found them just in time before I took that trash out. On their way out the mom told her daughter to swear that she wouldn't tell her father.
It was an interesting night to say the least. I also finished twenty-eight and a half wishes, of course it is one of those books with a cliffhanger and has 3 other books in the series. I highly recommend it. I only read it because Brittany was trying to send me Gone Girl but it didn't work so I instead I downloaded a free book and got hooked. Now I have to read the whole series.
I clocked out at 12:30 and walked quickly to the bus stop. Transtar must have gotten a new bus driver because we once again had to wait 30 minutes. This was getting old.
However a lovely cp named Robbie asked if we all wanted a ride home. She is literally the best! We dropped 1 girl off at vista, another at Chatham and then we stopped at Patterson. That's when I found out her building is right across from mine.
I made it home after 1 and texted Brittany saying I would be at Epcot tomorrow for maelstroms last day. Brittany worked till 3am so I new that she wouldn’t be up to waking up so early.
Sunday October 5
Today I woke around 8:30, I planned on going on maelstrom one last time. The weather today was just like fall, when I left for Epcot it was a whomping 57 degrees out. Luckily I wore my long sleeve I love Norge shirt but I regretted not wearing pants.
I got to Epcot around 10:30 and when I got to Norway the line for the maelstrom was crazy! I'm so happy the ride is getting so much love on its last day. The sun was beating down making me glad about my decision to wear shorts. It was 10 minutes before the ride opened and the line was pretty much looped all the way around the Norway pavilion.
They opened the doors early and and everyone cheered. Thankfully I only waited 20 minutes to ride. It was going on 2 hours for pretty much the rest of the day.
“You are not the first to pass this way, nor will you be the last. Those who seek the spirit of Norway face peril and adventure”
After my last goodbye to maelstrom. I did my usual Norway routine. This includes ride the maelstrom, spray some Laila (since I left me collection of it at home) buy and indulge is a school bread. It was wonderful!
I then headed back to the front of the park. It was after 11 and the flood gates of food and wine had been released. Before leaving Epcot I needed a nice refreshing beverage so pumpkin spice frapp it was.
I headed back home after this. Luckily the day got a little warmer, the sun was hot if you sat in it. When I returned home I had a good hour before I had to start thinking about getting ready for work. So I watched some parent trap. Brittany left shortly after, Diego wanted to go to studios. However I couldn't go because I had to go to work.
3 o'clock rolled around and I was on my way to work. When I got there I clocked in and got zone 3. When I have zone 3 my night goes fast! And I love that. I probably pulled the trash around gharidelli about 4 times throughout the night.

Sam,
I can't believe what you had to deal with in one week!
I've heard nothing but horror stories about bedbugs and pray you guys are rid of them for good.
I don't know how you managed the time to update but really appreciate all the effort. Love hearing about your program and seeing all the great pics.
that Halloween shopping trip looked like a lot of fun. Who knew target had such great costume accessories in foam!
Fantastic pumpkin carvings!
Can't wait to see the big reveal on Disney Springs. Sounds like it's still years away.

I'm so glad you didn't self term! I was visiting WDW that week and saw Brittany at MNSSHP Sunday night, Sept 28. My husband and I ( very young 40 something's) were in line at the candy stop near the speedway and she rolled up with a fresh barrel of candy. I'm pretty sure I scared the crap out of her because I just blurted out her name. I did explain that I follow her trip reports on DIS so hopefully she wasn't totally creeped out.
I've lurked on the DIS for years and have so enjoyed getting my Disney fix from the YOLO crew.

Hi Sam,
I have to say I am really enjoying your reports. I love that you include your work experiences, not just the outside work stuff.
And take heart about the weather, it should be just beautiful very soon, the kind of weather Central Florida is famous for. This was the rainiest September since 1922!

Away We Go! Week 9 Pt 1
Monday October 6
Today I woke up around 10. I got ready and headed to the mk. I've been allowing myself one trip to property control for each pay week. Today was that day. And boy did I get a lot this time...good thing I'm getting a raise. I don't feel to bad about spending because I take out $100 a week to save. There are a lot of people who don't do that and still have no money.
When at property control I found the rain coat I've been eyeing up at world of Disney at work. 2 of the Christmas sweater 1 for me the other for Brittany. Minnie ear baseball cap, Ariel tshirt and the poca nail polish for alish because she saw mine when she came over so I picked one up for her. It all came out to $50...like the raincoat itself was like $55-$60. I'm all about the bargains.
I left and caught the bus to the ttc. Then I caught the monorail to the magic kingdom. I had time to kill so I took a stroll down Main Street. I did some pin trading because I had all stupid ones no body wanted at work so I decided to trade them out to other cm.
There was still over an hour till festival of fantasy so I decided I would just walk around. But dream along was the winner to keep me from walking around.
Join the party a castle party!
I’ll accept your challenge hook!
I was quite distressed at not receiving an invitation, an oversight I’m sure
There are journeys that are with you and your friends
After dream along I walked to frointerland knowing that choosing to stop to watch dream along I was gambling my chances for getting a good spot for the parade. But being solo it was quite easy to find a spot to squeeze. Then I waited 20 minutes for the parade to start. I called Gma to chat for a bit. Then the parade started. Some child pretty much pushed me out of the way to the front. I let it go because I could still see over her but then her mom tried doing the same. Absolutely not she tried pushing me over into a stroller and that's when I stood my ground.
Yes way down deep inside I’ve got a dream
Dreams that glow …YO HO!
Chase the wind and touch the sky
Away we go, it’s a festival of fantasy. Beauty and majesty, shining magically
The parade ended in frontierland and I wanted to go home because I needed to eat something and go grocery shopping. By the time I got to the front I rewatched the ending of the parade.
I walked to the contemporary and called Gma back. We had a nice half hour talk all about life, that's what I miss about home. Going over to gmas every night and just talking and hanging out.
My bus came, Brittany and Meredith were on it as well, off to work for them! I headed back to Patterson, made some real dinner, and went grocery shopping. When I came home I realized I bought to much frozen stuff and by that I mean I really didn't and one person in particular has the whole freezer stocked with frozen dinners. My ice cream almost didn't fit.
I then needed to finish unpacking my room and while I did that I called ma and talked to her and pa for an hour. I gave up on doing my room and soon called it a night.
Tuesday October 7
Today I woke up around 11. I had a few things that I needed to get done today, so it was a stay at home day. I first updated the report since I promised Gma I would. Then I uploaded all my videos on my computer to start working on my September video. At this time Alex and Brittany came back from the gym. Alex asked me if I wanted to go get sushi tonight, I had to pass because it was sister night tonight.
Brittany left for work and I worked on some shoes designs. When I started the program I told myself I won't paint shoes and just enjoy my time here. Well things change and I have a few orders, I just never know when to stop.
Alish got out of work at 6:30 and picked me up around 7:15. We first went to DDs which is a big store with literally everything you could need. We looked around for a good amount of time. I ended up getting a dress and the best blanket ever! It was toy story and I couldn't put it down.
Once we made our purchases we went to get some dinner. Our original plan was to go get the nachos at fort wilderness. However with our shopping trip fort wilderness was just out of the way. So instead we went to panera bread in celebration. When we got there alish told me how we need to take a trip to celebration because one guy there goes all out and creates his house into a pirate ship and then during December there is fake snow.
While at panera we pretty much discussed our horrible weekend and how we hated life. You know sister talk. After we finished up she told me I had the option of going back to her apartment or going back home. I chose the go to her apartment. So off we went. When we got there randy was just watching some tv. I pulled out my new blanket and fell in love with how big and soft it was.
We watched the Disneyland episode of modern family and made a list of things we needed to get down before my program ended. It was a little list such as mini golf, splitsville, dine in theater, tea at the gflo...and a cruise!
We get discounted cruises but they don't come out until 45 days before. Right now we are trying to plan a Christmas trip and are hoping to take a cruise. So I looked up all the cruises in the month of December and chose one of them. With dates planned we put in a request off from work and hopefully everything will work out as planned if not we will just stay at a resort for our Christmas trip. I then requested off the beginning of December in hopes to see Neil Patrick Harris at the candlelight processional.
Around 10:30 alish drove me home and I hung out at the apartment all night.
Wednesday October 8
Today was another start of my work week. However instead of working for 5 days I will be working 8 days straight, so we shall see how that goes. This morning I woke up to multiple texts messages from multiple people, I'm never this popular. Brittany texted me last night saying typhoon tomorrow morning, 1 was from ma about my memory card situation, 1 from alish about wanted to eat at Tonys on Friday, and then the last one was from my roommate jessie she was out shopping and trying to buy shoes for me to paint for her.
Tonight was another night of 4-12:30. I was so close to getting cirque restroom. I just want to get that restroom at least once before my program ends. It's literally the perfect location. You get to watch the show, get some free dinner, popcorn bucket, Cotton candy, pop.
Instead I got WOD. I prayed that it wasn't going to be like my last time in WOD. The night was manageable, no line out the door but then again it was a weeknight and not weekend. During my first break we had a code v, I was on break so didn't have to do it. However when I came back the whole restroom reeked. I used about half a bottle of citrus ginger and that didn't even help one bit.
My night however went so nice, so much better than the last time I was in WOD. And I was ready to clock out at 12:28. Tonight's manager, Richard, started talking to me asking if I put in for an extension. I did! But I'm not planning on staying. Plus I put in an extension for the most competitive roles, BBB, pirates league, recreation (children's activities), photopass and same role same location.
I clocked out at 12:28 and went to the bus stop...the bus was just pulling out and making its u turn in the parking lot. Me and another cp Marty took off full speed. I don't want to wait a half hour when I can catch this bus. When I got home Brittany was up and packing. She was leaving me bright and early aka in 4 hours to go home till Monday.
Thursday October 8
Today I woke up to an empty room. Alish picked up Brittany at 5 this morning and drove her to the airport. When I woke up at 11 I got a snap from Brittany just relaxing at home with her dog and Tim hortons. I'm so jealous.
Another lazy morning in the books, I worked on the September video, watched some tv, the usual. I worked 4-12:30. When I got to work I was zone 3, 4 assist. Easy peasy. I spent most of my night at the water side stage...haters gonna hate. During my second break our closing manager of the night Cameron sent out a call saying that they were requesting ERs for the night. I almost put in for one because I had such a long work week a head of me but decided not too.
After my break was waterside stage cleanup. After the clean up Brandon a fellow cp asked if I wanted to get chocolate at gharidelli. When cms walk in they get 2 chocolates instead of 1, however today the cm was feeling really generous! He gave us the biggest handful and pretty much filled up my pocket. Around this time the ER calls were going out, zone 4 got one and therefore I would be in charge of zone 4 at 11. It only was an hour and zone 4 was supposed to do a trash run before they left at 11.
A little after 11 I decided to do a quick trash run. My coordinator told me to tell him how the cans were because the certain girl doesn't pull her trash normally before her ER. That was the case tonight, it seemed like she only did the can around the stage and that it, let's just say the managers were not happy when I told them.
12:28 I clocked out and the bus was there! I was so glad.

I was quite distressed at not receiving an invitation, an oversight I’m sure
There are journeys that are with you and your friends
After dream along I walked to frointerland knowing that choosing to stop to watch dream along I was gambling my chances for getting a good spot for the parade. But being solo it was quite easy to find a spot to squeeze. Then I waited 20 minutes for the parade to start. I called Gma to chat for a bit. Then the parade started. Some child pretty much pushed me out of the way to the front. I let it go because I could still see over her but then her mom tried doing the same. Absolutely not she tried pushing me over into a stroller and that's when I stood my ground.
Yes way down deep inside I’ve got a dream
Dreams that glow …YO HO!
Chase the wind and touch the sky
Away we go, it’s a festival of fantasy. Beauty and majesty, shining magically
The parade ended in frontierland and I wanted to go home because I needed to eat something and go grocery shopping. By the time I got to the front I rewatched the ending of the parade.
I walked to the contemporary and called Gma back. We had a nice half hour talk all about life, that's what I miss about home. Going over to gmas every night and just talking and hanging out.
My bus came, Brittany and Meredith were on it as well, off to work for them! I headed back to Patterson, made some real dinner, and went grocery shopping. When I came home I realized I bought to much frozen stuff and by that I mean I really didn't and one person in particular has the whole freezer stocked with frozen dinners. My ice cream almost didn't fit.
I then needed to finish unpacking my room and while I did that I called ma and talked to her and pa for an hour. I gave up on doing my room and soon called it a night.
Tuesday October 7
Today I woke up around 11. I had a few things that I needed to get done today, so it was a stay at home day. I first updated the report since I promised Gma I would. Then I uploaded all my videos on my computer to start working on my September video. At this time Alex and Brittany came back from the gym. Alex asked me if I wanted to go get sushi tonight, I had to pass because it was sister night tonight.
Brittany left for work and I worked on some shoes designs. When I started the program I told myself I won't paint shoes and just enjoy my time here. Well things change and I have a few orders, I just never know when to stop.
Alish got out of work at 6:30 and picked me up around 7:15. We first went to DDs which is a big store with literally everything you could need. We looked around for a good amount of time. I ended up getting a dress and the best blanket ever! It was toy story and I couldn't put it down.
Once we made our purchases we went to get some dinner. Our original plan was to go get the nachos at fort wilderness. However with our shopping trip fort wilderness was just out of the way. So instead we went to panera bread in celebration. When we got there alish told me how we need to take a trip to celebration because one guy there goes all out and creates his house into a pirate ship and then during December there is fake snow.
While at panera we pretty much discussed our horrible weekend and how we hated life. You know sister talk. After we finished up she told me I had the option of going back to her apartment or going back home. I chose the go to her apartment. So off we went. When we got there randy was just watching some tv. I pulled out my new blanket and fell in love with how big and soft it was.
We watched the Disneyland episode of modern family and made a list of things we needed to get down before my program ended. It was a little list such as mini golf, splitsville, dine in theater, tea at the gflo...and a cruise!
We get discounted cruises but they don't come out until 45 days before. Right now we are trying to plan a Christmas trip and are hoping to take a cruise. So I looked up all the cruises in the month of December and chose one of them. With dates planned we put in a request off from work and hopefully everything will work out as planned if not we will just stay at a resort for our Christmas trip. I then requested off the beginning of December in hopes to see Neil Patrick Harris at the candlelight processional.
Around 10:30 alish drove me home and I hung out at the apartment all night.
Wednesday October 8
Today was another start of my work week. However instead of working for 5 days I will be working 8 days straight, so we shall see how that goes. This morning I woke up to multiple texts messages from multiple people, I'm never this popular. Brittany texted me last night saying typhoon tomorrow morning, 1 was from ma about my memory card situation, 1 from alish about wanted to eat at Tonys on Friday, and then the last one was from my roommate jessie she was out shopping and trying to buy shoes for me to paint for her.
Tonight was another night of 4-12:30. I was so close to getting cirque restroom. I just want to get that restroom at least once before my program ends. It's literally the perfect location. You get to watch the show, get some free dinner, popcorn bucket, Cotton candy, pop.
Instead I got WOD. I prayed that it wasn't going to be like my last time in WOD. The night was manageable, no line out the door but then again it was a weeknight and not weekend. During my first break we had a code v, I was on break so didn't have to do it. However when I came back the whole restroom reeked. I used about half a bottle of citrus ginger and that didn't even help one bit.
My night however went so nice, so much better than the last time I was in WOD. And I was ready to clock out at 12:28. Tonight's manager, Richard, started talking to me asking if I put in for an extension. I did! But I'm not planning on staying. Plus I put in an extension for the most competitive roles, BBB, pirates league, recreation (children's activities), photopass and same role same location.
I clocked out at 12:28 and went to the bus stop...the bus was just pulling out and making its u turn in the parking lot. Me and another cp Marty took off full speed. I don't want to wait a half hour when I can catch this bus. When I got home Brittany was up and packing. She was leaving me bright and early aka in 4 hours to go home till Monday.
Thursday October 8
Today I woke up to an empty room. Alish picked up Brittany at 5 this morning and drove her to the airport. When I woke up at 11 I got a snap from Brittany just relaxing at home with her dog and Tim hortons. I'm so jealous.
Another lazy morning in the books, I worked on the September video, watched some tv, the usual. I worked 4-12:30. When I got to work I was zone 3, 4 assist. Easy peasy. I spent most of my night at the water side stage...haters gonna hate. During my second break our closing manager of the night Cameron sent out a call saying that they were requesting ERs for the night. I almost put in for one because I had such a long work week a head of me but decided not too.
After my break was waterside stage cleanup. After the clean up Brandon a fellow cp asked if I wanted to get chocolate at gharidelli. When cms walk in they get 2 chocolates instead of 1, however today the cm was feeling really generous! He gave us the biggest handful and pretty much filled up my pocket. Around this time the ER calls were going out, zone 4 got one and therefore I would be in charge of zone 4 at 11. It only was an hour and zone 4 was supposed to do a trash run before they left at 11.
A little after 11 I decided to do a quick trash run. My coordinator told me to tell him how the cans were because the certain girl doesn't pull her trash normally before her ER. That was the case tonight, it seemed like she only did the can around the stage and that it, let's just say the managers were not happy when I told them.
12:28 I clocked out and the bus was there! I was so glad.

Week 9 Pt 2
Friday October 9
I hit my snooze a couple times this morning. Alish was picking me up so we could go have an early lunch. Around 10:30 she arrived and we headed to the kingdom. It was CROWDED! Happy Columbus Day weekend! First thing we did was get some fastpasses. There weren't many options but got some anyways. We had about 10 minutes before our reservation so we walked around Main Street.
We headed to Tonys around 11:30 where we saw Andy waiting. We signed in and waited probably 5 minutes before we were seated. We got seated outside and it was such a nice day that it was rather nice.
I ordered the chicken parm with Alfredo sauce. It was delicious and I can thank the disboards for the recommendation.
After lunch MiSiCi started so we stopped and watched in pass along Main Street. Andy had to go to work, Alicia went to the tunnels to talk to her manager and I went to city hall to purchase me a Halloween party ticket for Thursday!
I met up with Alicia in front of pirates. There we used our first fastpass. We got the front row and shared with some new friends. We got SOAKED! After pirates we went to see Aladdin and jasmine from afar. They had a good long line and still weren't out so we left and headed to tomorrowland. We had a few minutes to spare so we went on the people mover.
Then it was time to take a spin on buzz. Alish hates this ride with a passion, I like to see if I can beat my previous score.
I'm getting closer and closer to maxing out.
We had an hour till we could use our last fp. It was only for the carpets and we decided to leave and go to the Bradley Vera outlet. I was planning on going there soon, but alish brought it up so off we went. I ended up getting a big wristlet because as of right now my little wristlet is too small to hold everything.
With a new wristlet in hand alish drove me home and I got ready for work. There was about 8 minutes till my bus came so I left. Right when the door closed I realized I left my lanyard in my room...with my key and both my ids. I knocked on the door seeing if one of my roommates were home. No luck...6 minutes till my bus came. I went to security to see if they could do anything they told me to go to the office. 5 minutes at this point I was going to miss the bus and be late for work. 4 minutes I see my roommates car and text her right away. She opened the door, I ran into the room and to Chatham. 1 minute! The bus was getting ready to leave when I got there.
So if you run and power walk you can get to Chatham in a minute.
When I got to work I was PI support. The easiest support to get. My night started off slow. Then around 6:30 I started my recycle run. When I got to Fultons I got a call from my manager saying there was a spill in front of the balloon. So I rushed over there to find 2 other CPs. This spill was actually a stain. We pour multiple cleaners we have and nothing worked. A character in flight worker came up to me and said that it was coffee and he called it in at noon. So it baked for over 6 hours and there was nothing we could do. So I went and finished my recycling and went on break.
I had my break at WOD and ate with Olivia. She is having major roomie troubles. She told me today that she got a note telling her how ugly she looks in her costume, excuse me what? There is no need for the rudeness like that. I told her that she could totally move her bed into mine and Brittany's room or we can get bunk beds.
So at the end of my break there was a lovely WOD cm who was freaking out over the trash can. So much the she kicked it and it fell flat on its side. She then began yelling about how us custodials don't know how to do our job and that she could be a better garbage person. Of course I was the only "garbage" person in the break room at the time. So all the other WOD cms were laughing. Olivia kept giving me the apologetic look but it was whatever. Yes it got me mad but it was also not the first time that this girl has made a "garbage" person comment. She was the reason some of the CPs refuse to take there break in the WOD break room.
My night went quickly with one last recycle run before I left at 11. I was surprised to get a text from ma because she is normally sleeping by this time. Then when I got home Alicia texted me saying she got her shift switched for tomorrow so she had the morning free. Meaning we were going to live out one of our childhood dreams!
Saturday October 11
Today I woke up at 8:30 got ready and took a nap. Brittany says that's my favorite thing to do and since she wasn't home she could make fun of me. I woke up when alish texted me saying they were on there way.
Alicia and Andy arrived to Patterson and we were on our way to French quarter to swim in the dragon pool! This was a big deal for us!
It was 10 and pretty empty. We found some chairs and laid out. The sun was hiding behind the clouds and the pool was freezing it wasn't looking too promising. However around 11:30 things turned up for the better and we went down the dragon slide!
Around noon we dried off and went to get some beignets!
After that we went back to alishs. I needed to get my food from yesterday's lunch out of her fridge and barrow her Esmeralda costume for Thursday. Then they took me home. I made myself some lunch and got ready for work. I called Gma but she ignored me. She called me back a little while after. Brittany was suppose to be stopping by the house to pick up my Lilo dress for mnsshp but since alish has a costume down here why not just where that.
I left for work around 3:45, today I was 5-11. The perfect shift. Once again I got PI support and was more than happy with that. Today was Saturday meaning we had a breakout meeting. The 5-11 shift only has at most 5 people. So our meeting involved magic glass ball juggling performed by a fellow cp, that cp and the manager of tonight, Jason, face timing, and a talk about the new cast service building.
We are getting a new building behind cirque. This means that I will now have to start catching an earlier bus and no more catching the 12:30 bus since the bus stop is staying in the same place as of right now. Also the costume shop and lockers are going to be located at a different building across from dtd near team disney. Like it was so nice with everything all in one spot. But we are moving at the end of October.
Another uneventful night.
Another night when the bus was late.
But this gave me more time to read Gone Girl, people were talking about the movie in the break room and I need to finish the book before I see the movie.
Sunday October 12
Today I woke up around 8:30. I was back to the not sleeping the day away and getting out of the apartment. Today I had nothing planned so this lead me to property control. I've been adding things to my list of things to get and this was nothing for myself!
It was Sunday and I forgot they don't open at 8:30 but instead 10. I got there right as they were opening up the doors, people are crazy! I was however able to pick up another pair of the Minnie Mouse baseball cap for alish. I also found a mnsshp shirt so that was a steal and I won't need to purchase one Thursday. I also only spent $10 total so it was a good morning. I decided to browse cast connection till another bus came. I found the fort wilderness sweater I've been dying to get but didn't get it...why? Because it was still about $30 and I'm too poor for that.
The bus came and I headed home. Brittany texted me saying she never wanted to leave...
She was coming back tomorrow morning but today was the bill game back home.
I was lazy till I needed to go to work. 4-12:30 once again. When I got to work I got zone 11. I prayed for no code v's.
Guest interactions
-An older man came up to me speaking some language I didn't speak, asked if I was Italian and said I was Gorgeous.
-a little girl came up to me and told me she liked my shirt.
-a fiddler who walked around came up to talk to me. He said that he tells everyone I have the best job. He says he use to play on the stage but now he walks around.
-When I did a trash run a dad was trying to be nice and actually pick up one of the poles from out of the ground. Then said how he was so sorry because he thought I wasn’t going to fit but I did and now he just felt stupid.
No code vs and I'm getting through gone girl so fast. Like holy poop it's good. I got home and jumped into bed because alish was picking me up early for another sister day!

It's Really Not So Scary! Week 10 Part 1
Monday October 13
I woke up at 8:30 and alish picked me up at 9. We were off to the kingdom. When we got there it was packed, the bag check line was a nightmare. But we were lucky to find a guy with no line, how that was possible I have no clue. First things first get fastpasses! We were able to get splash and space. Then with our last one we got the carpets because we skipped out on them the other day.
We had time to kill and decided to go see what the deal was with be our guest. Need came out saying they are changing it now only for fastpass plus reservations. I haven't eaten here since May and I thought I wouldn't be eating here after I heard the news. We saw people lining up and so we hopped in line around 10. During the wait Brittany told me she was back in Orlando. At 10:30 we were let in. Feast a la beast!
I got the usual braised pork while alish got the ham sandwich. We decided to change it up a bit and sit in the west wing! Our food came out right away and we dug in.
As we finished up we realized we only had 10 minutes before our splash fastpass was up. So we packed up our grey stuff cupcakes and headed to frointerland. Oh splash mountain! We were to worried the whole time about our cupcakes because they were small and didn't fit in the container correctly.
Try the grey stuff its delicious
Carpets were next and we decided to eat our cupcakes. So we enjoyed them in the shade near agrabah. The carpets were waiting for us. Alish tried bouncy ours but nothing worked. So I guess we will find ourselves on this ride again.
Our last stop of the day was space mountain. The lines today were long and I was so glad for fastpasses. They needed a party of 2 and we were glad to be able to fill that request. They put us on 3 and 4, or as Brittany likes to tell me "were not going to sit together" seats. Silly guests.
It was 12:30 and we called it a day at the kingdom. Alish purchased the zero popcorn bucket and we left.
We decided to go to property control just because we can. But first we had to take the long journey to the contemporary cast parking. It was hot! I cannot wait until we our done with our 90 degree days down here. Our luck with property control was bad and we came out empty handed, but maybe that's a good thing.
It was time for me to head home and get ready for work. Alish dropped me off and Brittany was out with our roommates. This is when things got good, cruise discounts for December came out on the hub. The cruise we were planning on going (and the dates we got off for from work) was not one of those cruises. However there was a cruise that left the day before and was a 5 night on the wonder. The only thing was that it goes out of Miami.
I left for work and still no sign of Brittany. Alish texted me none stop about the cruise and the Christmas cruise it would be. Pretty much it's set in our minds and it needs to happen.
I worked 4-12:30 in zone 2 in the marketplace. During the first hour katt came to visit me! She checks into her program tomorrow, which is super exciting!
Things that happened at work tonight
-a cp dropped his work keys in the toilet and the toilet ate them up
-the stage dance party was moved to my zone by the Mickey spray fountain
-I finally finished gone girl. It was so intense but the ending sucked.
-the bromance between the one manager Jason and the cp guys is getting more and more funny.
-the compactor and guest show don't mix well. Other workers who throw out their trash do not push the button. Making us stand around for a good 20 minutes pushing the button to the compactor.
So 12:30 came, the bus never showed. The app said 30 minutes. I wanted to cry. Exhaustion was hitting me hard at work tonight. I was only on day 6 of 8 and just wanted to sleep. Too much sister bonding fun of getting up early and working late.
Tuesday October 14
Today I woke up at 11 and kept hitting the snooze making me wake up at 12:30 when the pest control came knocking on our bedroom door. It felt so good to sleep for so long. Brittany went to the gym and I called the Disney cruise line. I didn't get much from them after being on hold for 15 minutes.
Sleeping in means work comes by even quicker. I got ready for work and left at 3. I was suppose to be restrooms tonight but got zone 7 instead. I'm not going to lie I was super happy about that. It was suppose to be a rainy night and rainy nights don't mix well with restrooms. So instead I got to hang out on the PI bridge to planet Hollywood.
Today was dead! No one was around. It was so humid out and I couldn't wait for it to rain. Our manager for the night Anthony came on the radio telling people to close the umbrellas a storm was a brewing.
Around 5:30 a huge dark cloud came over dtd and it just poured. That's when I was reunited with the 101 life. It's been awhile. The 101 went into my break. The rest of the night was all sorts of boring.
Guest interactions
-where pollo compero?
-are there fireworks tonight and where is the best viewing location
-1st visit button - they said they were exhausted but that is probably because it's there first trip. I let them know that every Disney trip is a not so relaxing vacation.
Tonight I also got the where are you from? No, where are your parents from? You look Hispanic. No I'm not Hispanic nor Italian.
As we left the cirque break room to head back to the cast service building we notice that some people had to fun of a night. One guy was leaning over on the wetzel pretzel counter with his shoes off while security watched him from a far. Then there was another girl who was a hot mess outside of house of blues, her poor boyfriend looked like he hated life. We all got out of there fast because 1) there was bound to be a code v 2) it was time to go home 3) it wasn't our zone.
We never heard a radio call so we assumed nothing happened?
The bus was leaving right when we clocked out. These new bus drivers are starting to get real old with the "never waiting" game. A bus came and I arrived home to random people in my living room. It was a nice awkward situation...
Wednesday October 15
Sleeping until noon is always a good choice. Brittany woke up and went to the grocery store. Probably about 5 minutes after leaving we had a lovely inspection. A guy came into our apartment blowing a whistle. I guess I was the only one home and because of this they didn't check mine and Brittany's room. Our bathroom is never gonna get inspected I guess. We passed so that's all that matters.
I made myself some lunch and called Gma. I told her to be on the lookout for our magic bands and that starting Monday cast members are now allowed to take part in fastpasses! These past couple weeks after my AP expired were rough without fastpasses. When I called pa was just arriving home from work so I chatted with him a bit before I had to get ready for work.
I went to work from 4-12:30. It was finally day 8! I only had to get through tonight and then I had the next 5 days off! When I got to work I got assigned back of house...I'm not trained for that so I got switched to zone 5, walkway behind Lego to raglan road. Tonight I saw the dancing gramps for the 3rd night in a row. He is super precious and just hangs out at dtd every night looking for a fun night.
By the end of my night it got pretty chilly. It was only 67 degrees and all I wanted was a jacket. I didn't get a jacket but I did get myself some hot chocolate from the WOD break room. 12:30 came and I officially finished my 8 day work week. And the bus was on time!!!
When I got home Brittany made pumpkin chili and it smelled so good. However tonight I made myself some soup and watched Lizzie McGuire.
Thursday October 16
Today I woke up at 11:30, sleep is good for the soul. Today a family that I dance with was coming into town. It gave me the excuse to go to another Halloween party.
In the afternoon I caught up on revenge. Then a lady from Patterson came to the apartment to drop off some groceries and each of us got a Duffy. I dislike Duffy and decided I would give mine up to my cousin’s baby.
Brittany got ready to head off to space and I got ready for the party. And what better to get ready for mnsshp than to listen to hallowishes and boo to you.
I left for Chatham around 4 caught the bus to the contemporary and walked to the kingdom. When I arrived they were waiting for me at the security. So we have Michael, his sister Krista and her daughter Amelia.
First thing we did when we arrived was the bathrooms..they needed to change into costumes. We had Robin, a Mouseketeer and a wanna be jungle cruise skipper. Once costumes were on we played the lovely game of what do you want to do? The party didn't start for another 2 hours so we had time to kill. We found ourselves gravitating towards tomorrowland. First thing people mover, cause it never has a line. We talked about doing CoP but Amelia wasn't having any of that. My heart broke. So instead we did the laugh floor. It wasn't all that funny this time around and I wasn't impressed.
They had fastpasses for space, I went to see if Brittany was working outside to see if she could get me a fastpass but alas she was not. So I waited outside but moved inside to charge my phone.
I called Gma and she asked if I received my package, I got the email this morning but I just didn't stop of the clubhouse today. She then handed the phone over to ma and we talked about the new things in life.
We still had time to kill so we walked towards fantasyland. Tonight's game was spot all the Elsa and let me tell you there were A LOT of Elsas. We checked out dumbo and barnstormer but the waits were to long for our liking. So we went under the sea. It was a nice little journey with Ariel. But we still had time before the party. So we walked towards Liberty Square where we stood in poop. Time to bring your Liberty Square fun facts! I told them about the sewer concrete and Michael told me about how there were supposed to be more buildings or something like that? They bought some powerade and we were off to the haunted mansion.
By the time we got off it was party time! Madame Carlotta was out. I could stand and watch her all night. She is just too funny. We didn't stay to long because there was other stuff that needed to get done. Up next was some dinner. And the only place to go for dinner on a party night is Pecos! I got the taco again because well I like them. We took our food outside and had a picnic on the ground of frointerland.
The taco salad was not meant to be for eating on the ground. Somehow I was able to manage to not get a lot on me.
Then it was time for the best thing of the night BOO TO YOU! The happiness I feel when I watch boo to you.
My favorite part of the entire parade
CANDY TRICK OR TREAT CANDY!
After the parade we needed our sugar rush. So off to the candy trails we went. Tonight was crowded and I was not feeling it. The pros about a rainy party is that people hide for shelter, tonight was not rainy so we dealt with crowds all night.
It was time for some Hallowishes another personal fav. These fireworks give me joy. Let's be real the whole party is something I could do every night and not get sick of it. First however was celebrate the magic. During this Gma was texting me about extending, she told me how I need to decide what I want to do and what will make me happy. As she would say I’m young and forever is a long way away.
After hallowishes was the villains mix and mingle. But just the mix because the mingle didn't happen. Tonight however I was prepared for the fire at the very beginning I didn’t need my eyes burned out like the last time.
After the mix and mingle we needed to meet some rare characters. We didn't have much time left so we chose to meet jack and Sally. But before getting in line we grabbed the special magic card.
When we got in line to meet jack and Sally there was a real sassy character attendant. She asked Michael what he was suppose to be. His costume was an "old adventureland cast member who got fired so I don't have a name tag" she just called him a tourist. GIVE HER A POINT ON HER RECORD CARD! She ruined our party night.
Also while waiting in the forever long line I learned all about Michael’s love for the value resort. A guess a DVC membership can do that to a person.
The second parade went by as we waited. Then it was our time to meet the Halloween “it” couple. I talked to sally this time around and she said I had a beautiful skirt to dance around the grave yard in…cause you know that’s what I do for fun
We had about 1.5 hours left. So we went to the emporium to purchase our party merch. I grabbed 2 long sleeved shirts. One for me, one for alish (Cause I’m the best sister)
Sleep deprivation has set in. As we were checking out all I remember was saying the lines to tomorrow from Annie. Michael started singing some random tune with the words tomorrow not having any clue what song we were actually talking about. Let's just say he can't keep up with the whole no sleeping in Disney. However I was pretty amused with how the sleep deprivation was affecting him.
With merch in hand we then went to sleepy hallow for WAFFLES! The 3 of them shared one and then there was me the fatty scarfing down one by myself. No regrets! I'm a cp who doesn't eat a lot so when I'm on fake vacation I go all out.
We only had 30 minutes left for the party. Time to get a move on!
We booked it to storybook circus because CANDY! After the trail we went on space because it was right there. I also told Brittany I would visit her at work however later I found out she was unload of the other side. SHOOT! After arriving back to earth the party officially ended. It was fun, and I shall make sure to come back to another party next year.
We headed back to Main Street and waited and waited and waited for everyone to leave. Once mostly everyone left we then took pictures of the Halloween atmosphere.
The happy haunts want to thank you for hanging around
While we scared up a little Halloween fun
We do hope you'll drop in again
For another spooktacular celebration
Happy Hallowishes everyone!
By this time it was going on 12:30-1. They told me their plans for tomorrow so maybe I will walk up, maybe not.
I missed the monorail but another one came quickly. I then played the game of where do I get off, I ended up getting off at the poly and just making the bus. On the long drive back to Patterson I typed this whole day out and tried to remember everything that happened but I probably left a lot out from the case of trying to stay awake on the bus.

Monday October 13
I woke up at 8:30 and alish picked me up at 9. We were off to the kingdom. When we got there it was packed, the bag check line was a nightmare. But we were lucky to find a guy with no line, how that was possible I have no clue. First things first get fastpasses! We were able to get splash and space. Then with our last one we got the carpets because we skipped out on them the other day.
We had time to kill and decided to go see what the deal was with be our guest. Need came out saying they are changing it now only for fastpass plus reservations. I haven't eaten here since May and I thought I wouldn't be eating here after I heard the news. We saw people lining up and so we hopped in line around 10. During the wait Brittany told me she was back in Orlando. At 10:30 we were let in. Feast a la beast!
I got the usual braised pork while alish got the ham sandwich. We decided to change it up a bit and sit in the west wing! Our food came out right away and we dug in.
As we finished up we realized we only had 10 minutes before our splash fastpass was up. So we packed up our grey stuff cupcakes and headed to frointerland. Oh splash mountain! We were to worried the whole time about our cupcakes because they were small and didn't fit in the container correctly.
Try the grey stuff its delicious
Carpets were next and we decided to eat our cupcakes. So we enjoyed them in the shade near agrabah. The carpets were waiting for us. Alish tried bouncy ours but nothing worked. So I guess we will find ourselves on this ride again.
Our last stop of the day was space mountain. The lines today were long and I was so glad for fastpasses. They needed a party of 2 and we were glad to be able to fill that request. They put us on 3 and 4, or as Brittany likes to tell me "were not going to sit together" seats. Silly guests.
It was 12:30 and we called it a day at the kingdom. Alish purchased the zero popcorn bucket and we left.
We decided to go to property control just because we can. But first we had to take the long journey to the contemporary cast parking. It was hot! I cannot wait until we our done with our 90 degree days down here. Our luck with property control was bad and we came out empty handed, but maybe that's a good thing.
It was time for me to head home and get ready for work. Alish dropped me off and Brittany was out with our roommates. This is when things got good, cruise discounts for December came out on the hub. The cruise we were planning on going (and the dates we got off for from work) was not one of those cruises. However there was a cruise that left the day before and was a 5 night on the wonder. The only thing was that it goes out of Miami.
I left for work and still no sign of Brittany. Alish texted me none stop about the cruise and the Christmas cruise it would be. Pretty much it's set in our minds and it needs to happen.
I worked 4-12:30 in zone 2 in the marketplace. During the first hour katt came to visit me! She checks into her program tomorrow, which is super exciting!
Things that happened at work tonight
-a cp dropped his work keys in the toilet and the toilet ate them up
-the stage dance party was moved to my zone by the Mickey spray fountain
-I finally finished gone girl. It was so intense but the ending sucked.
-the bromance between the one manager Jason and the cp guys is getting more and more funny.
-the compactor and guest show don't mix well. Other workers who throw out their trash do not push the button. Making us stand around for a good 20 minutes pushing the button to the compactor.
So 12:30 came, the bus never showed. The app said 30 minutes. I wanted to cry. Exhaustion was hitting me hard at work tonight. I was only on day 6 of 8 and just wanted to sleep. Too much sister bonding fun of getting up early and working late.
Tuesday October 14
Today I woke up at 11 and kept hitting the snooze making me wake up at 12:30 when the pest control came knocking on our bedroom door. It felt so good to sleep for so long. Brittany went to the gym and I called the Disney cruise line. I didn't get much from them after being on hold for 15 minutes.
Sleeping in means work comes by even quicker. I got ready for work and left at 3. I was suppose to be restrooms tonight but got zone 7 instead. I'm not going to lie I was super happy about that. It was suppose to be a rainy night and rainy nights don't mix well with restrooms. So instead I got to hang out on the PI bridge to planet Hollywood.
Today was dead! No one was around. It was so humid out and I couldn't wait for it to rain. Our manager for the night Anthony came on the radio telling people to close the umbrellas a storm was a brewing.
Around 5:30 a huge dark cloud came over dtd and it just poured. That's when I was reunited with the 101 life. It's been awhile. The 101 went into my break. The rest of the night was all sorts of boring.
Guest interactions
-where pollo compero?
-are there fireworks tonight and where is the best viewing location
-1st visit button - they said they were exhausted but that is probably because it's there first trip. I let them know that every Disney trip is a not so relaxing vacation.
Tonight I also got the where are you from? No, where are your parents from? You look Hispanic. No I'm not Hispanic nor Italian.
As we left the cirque break room to head back to the cast service building we notice that some people had to fun of a night. One guy was leaning over on the wetzel pretzel counter with his shoes off while security watched him from a far. Then there was another girl who was a hot mess outside of house of blues, her poor boyfriend looked like he hated life. We all got out of there fast because 1) there was bound to be a code v 2) it was time to go home 3) it wasn't our zone.
We never heard a radio call so we assumed nothing happened?
The bus was leaving right when we clocked out. These new bus drivers are starting to get real old with the "never waiting" game. A bus came and I arrived home to random people in my living room. It was a nice awkward situation...
Wednesday October 15
Sleeping until noon is always a good choice. Brittany woke up and went to the grocery store. Probably about 5 minutes after leaving we had a lovely inspection. A guy came into our apartment blowing a whistle. I guess I was the only one home and because of this they didn't check mine and Brittany's room. Our bathroom is never gonna get inspected I guess. We passed so that's all that matters.
I made myself some lunch and called Gma. I told her to be on the lookout for our magic bands and that starting Monday cast members are now allowed to take part in fastpasses! These past couple weeks after my AP expired were rough without fastpasses. When I called pa was just arriving home from work so I chatted with him a bit before I had to get ready for work.
I went to work from 4-12:30. It was finally day 8! I only had to get through tonight and then I had the next 5 days off!

When Are We Going To DTD? Week 10 Part 2
Friday October 17
Today I woke up at a decent time, around 10! I made myself some breakfast and had a nice chat with Jessie. I've said this before but I will say it again I never see my roommates, normally it is in passing. Our conversation led to pillow pets and she told me how they have a ham one. The struggle right now! When I got down here in August I said I was going to buy the pumba one, it goes with my simba and it makes since. Well now they have ham and he would match my new blanket rather nicely. Warning for Ma: don't be surprised if I come home with both of them.
Michael, krista and Amelia had fastpasses this morning at Epcot. So I hung out at the apartment until later when I would meet them over at animal kingdom. In the meantime I went to pick up at package from Gma at the clubhouse. It was packed with banana bread and my water camera memory card.
And some free “sorry you had bed bugs” groceries
Around 1 I got ready and headed off to animal kingdom to meet up with my crew. It was literally the perfect weather for animal kingdom today. Not to hot and not to cold, I was loving it!
Amelia came and found me first. We made our way to festival of the lion king. We had fifteen minutes to get there. On the way there we passed Brittany and Gina. We briskly walked and made it with time to spare. It was a happening place. So we got placed in the warthog section. All was good in the fotlk because all 4 tumble monkeys were there!
After lion king we headed for the safari, it said 30 minutes so we jumped in line. Little did we know the lie that Disney was telling us, we waited forever and there aren't even poachers! We were getting ripped off. We waited a good 1-1.5hour for our 2 week safari. During that time Amelia was not a fan of us calling her a poacher and this is when they learned about Mickey to Mickey. When someone is crabby with someone else you place your magic bands together (or mickey to mickey) until you are both happy.
Next up was yeti time! Alish taught me the curl up into a ball during the backwards part and it's always a thrilling time. Amelia believes that it goes upside down and she wouldn't take no for an answer. I was pretty much peeing my pants laughing so hard because it doesn’t go upside down.
After Everest we walked over to the death ride aka primeval. Amelia was tall enough and has been waiting to ride it. I like to let myself become a limp noodle and fly all over the place...sorry Michael.
This ride literally hurts and that’s what makes it funny.
We then did dinosaur. Let's just talk about how once again the big Dino with the picture was not there. I just don't understand?! Why is it not there?
It was that time of night when we try to figure out where to eat. Pizzafari was out of the question, so we headed to the old yak and yeti quick service. They got ride of my lo mien so I went with the sweet and sour chicken which was still really good. Then on top of that I got a Huge coke because that's all the restaurant had. Which we found out was all pretty much ice.
With our stomachs full it was time to relax and watch its tough to be a big. It's been awhile since I've seen it. However our seats were wet and I blamed everyone for having accidents. Too much liquids were consumed at yak and yeti!
It was starting to get dark so we headed back to Everest for one last ride. It was my first time ever at AK at night and it was pretty exciting. The atmosphere is really nice.
We headed to the front of the park and thought it would be a real fun idea to play hide and seek. More like I thought it would be fun. This is when my obsession with playing hide and seek around the parks started.
We left shortly after and headed to AKL! Time for me to check out the villa. First off what’s with the wind tunnel AKL? The rooms are real classy, its no value resort. We spent our time out on the balcony over looking the animals. We could pretty much only see our favorite cows with antlers, I still don’t know what there called something cattle. We spent a really long time out on the balcony, Michael played some ak music loops while Amelia kept asking when we were going to go to dtd. And for some reason we thought it was the funniest thing. And I will still laugh if someone asks “When are we going to downtown Disney?”
We moved the party inside and then we decided it was probs a good time to head to dtd. So we had to walk down the long hallway that never ended to get the lobby and then out to the bus. The bus ride was more than entertaining. Michael is all disney classy living with the dvc points so while we passed pop century he laughed at my poorness and my value resort trips. Haters gonna hate. He said that he wasn't laughing at me, it was because I was laughing…lies
We got to dtd and it was a party! Of course it was it was Friday. I tried to dodge all my coworkers as we jumped from store to store. Co op was a popular store. The kitchen area alone is everything I want! Amelia got a Vera for her birthday gift so we spent the time to pick out just the right pattern bag. She first picked up the mini hipster but changed her mind wanting the regular hipster. A cm saw this and said that it was just the age and understood what they were going through. So while Krista= and Amelia went back to the Vera's the cm talked to Michael about that age and attitude. As we walked away he just said "I'm not the father" awkward!
Next was WOD, the store was a crazy house. It gives me anxiety, which is strange because when I work in there or dtd in general the crowds don't get to me but when I'm there as I guest I can't stand it. It's probably for the reason that I have places to be.
We eyed up some merchandise and then headed to basin. Oh basin! The hand scrub is heaven. I like to get the skeptics of the hand scrub to love basin and I did my good deed tonight. Michael was a skeptic but I caught him enjoying the softness of his hands afterwards throughout the night. That hand scrub is some legit stuff!
We made our way to the Christmas store where we found out that Elsa was taking over the small shop connected to it, which for right now is the nightmare before Christmas shop. The frozen take over really needs to be done! Go away Elsa! Our last stop for the night was the art of Disney.
The marketplace was about to close so we planned the next day. A nice early morning at studios followed by a night in the kingdom until midnight. We parted ways and I literally just made it to my bus in time.
When I got home Brittany was there hanging out reading. And then we stayed up the whole night/ morning watching Deal With It. It probably wasn't the best idea staying up but I couldn't sleep tonight.
Saturday October 18
Today I woke up to a text from Michael saying they were up and moving. How I woke up to that one and not the one from alish beats me but it’s a good thing I did. I had 30 minutes to get ready to catch the bus. Mission accomplished!
I made it to studios before them so I hung out in the front of the park. They had to stop at blizzard before so while I waited Michael and I planned a whole frozen world for the frozen take over. I’m gonna put it in the suggestion box.
I then was stopped by a cm to take a survey by the time I finished they were standing in front of me. We headed down sunset boulevard and got in line for tot. Time see them ghosts. We got prime seating and I got to experience another group of people's first time seeing them ghosts.
We then headed to a personal favorite, animation academy! There was quite the line today so the cm had us play some Disney villain trivia. He was all about his job, Give that man a gold star! When it was our turn we drew eeyore, not the best character but we were still up for the challenge.
Afterwards Amelia refused to show us her drawing and hide it in her bag for the whole day. Which brought on some more Mickey to Mickey’s
Next it was time to visit a glitch and bad guy. I’m a huge wreck it Ralph fan and have yet to meet them at studios. It was perfect since Big Hero will be taking over their spot soon.
Vanellope snubbed me because I was the odd ball who doesn’t belong in the family.
We then headed to star tours. I love me some Star Wars weekend! However I was mad that I wasn't the rebel spy.
After star tours we went to get some food. Why not visit my roommate Zoe at the backlot express. I ordered my food and she spotted me telling the girl that I needed a magical moment so she went over and got me a Halloween cupcake. MY FAVORITE DISNEY CUPCAKE! I was so excited. I failed at eating today and literally ate maybe 3 chicken nuggets. So I got a box and now I had dinner.
After lunch we headed over to oakens, which is now in a new location from the last time I went too. We walked in, went to the gift shop, I tried to talk mike into putting on the Olaf hat but did not succeed and we left. Bye frozen! It hasn’t been fun.
We stopped in front of toy story mania and decided to see voyage of the little mermaid. After Ariel we headed to the great movie ride. Our tour guide was not impressed with her job it seemed. Thanks for ruining my vacation…now you get a point.
We called it quits at studios and headed over to mk to see my BAES! On the bus ride over I got into a Facebook "fight" with Michael cause he lied to the whole internet about being at mk when we clearly were not.
When we got to mk we picked up some magic cards and headed over to adventureland. We did some major creeping on Aladdin and jasmine, there line was closed so we went to the tiki room. I got a text from alish saying when her next sets were. So we left tikis and jumped in line for Aladdin and Jasmine.
It was definitely a party in Agrabah! Jasmine was all sorts of talkative today and it was probs the best character meet and greet so far. Plus me and Aladdin are pretty tight now.
As we left I realized I left my chicken nuggets in the queue. I’ve been carrying them around all day! How could I forget them?! So I was the awkward person asking the character attendant for it. Casual Sam...welcome to my life.
From there we headed over to splash mountain and waited in the longest line ever. By the time we got on I was not feeling the whole lets get wet thing.
All hail the chicken nugget! (Too bad you can’t see the chicken nugget, but its there!)
My left side was drenched so we dryed off with a ride on thunder. The line wasn't as long. I learned about scuttles...I don't really know what they were called. SCUPPERS. And in return I told them all about the goat effect, it's definitely the wildest ride in the wilderness!
After thunder we headed to fantasyland. We made a pit stop at the tangled restroom where Amelia refused to kingdom dance with me under the floating lanterns. I was heartbroken and I even told her I would be Flynn and she could be rapunzel but she still refused. So instead we played hide and seek! We won that round. Michael couldn't find us but Krista did.
They had mine train fastpasses but we had time to kill so we decided philharmagic was a good choice. There I reenacted a picture for miss sue. It's the new look!
I had the cutest child sitting next to me. All he wanted out of life was to catch Donald. There were many times I thought he was going to fall right out his seat.
They had about 15 minutes before their fastpass so we headed over to mine train. The fastpass line was long and a crabby Michael was coming out. Someone was getting a point, dear cm’s watch out for your record cards.
They got in line and I hung out and played another game of hide and seek. But really I just found a seat where they left me. Once they got off they were unimpressed with the shortness of the ride. Michael told me how he sat next to a lady who was rich enough to have their own personal tour guide. He said he felt poor because of her. How the tables have turned, that’s what happens when you judge someone about the value resorts.
We headed to get some grub for dinner, cosmic rays it was. I had my left over’s so I found a table and might I add the only clean table. But I chose the wrong table because it had a history with a code v. I’ve only ever heard of the story I did not know it took place at that table.
After dinner we discussed the CoP. Amelia was once again shooting down the idea so we went to the laugh floor. There we had another Mickey to Mickey time out. We shouldn’t even be surprised. It was a little funny this time but not by much. Afterwards we told Amelia that since we did laugh floor that we were going to do CoP. However it getting late and doing CoP would waste a lot of our time since the park was only open until 12. So the crabbiness set in and we got in line for buzz. Forever trying to max out but I'm more than half way there.
It was about 10:30 when we headed back to Main Street to get over to adventureland. There were people everywhere lining up, so I checked the park hours just in case...mk was actually open until 2am. This changed the whole night because we had 2 extra hours. Game on disney.
So instead we walked down a crowded Main Street to meet Mickey. However when we got there the line was like 45 minutes so we walked through the emporium to adventureland. Mental note don’t try to get down main street while 1) everyone’s leaving after wishes 2)when people are lining up for another showing of celebrate the magic.
The pirate wait said 20 minutes but it was looping outside so we all know that's a lie. We’re not falling for it again Disney. So we walked to frontierland where we found ourselves at country bears. I haven’t done the country bears in FORVER. It was one of those attractions Ma use to force us to do when we were little. There was less than 12 minutes and we were almost certain we would get our own viewing.
Do you ever just lay on the ground at country bear…cause same.
But by the time we got let in there was a good amount of people. I was a little excited about country bears it's been forever and Brittany refuses to go with me. I was honored that they chose to sit through this with me and accept my occasional outbursts. So much love for those creepy bears.
Also the country bears literally gave me this huge rush of energy but that slowly ran out by the time we got over to pirates.
We went on pirates. The only thing I didn't want was to be in the front, so of course we got the front. No one believed me that you get soaked on the drop now but once we went down that drop they believed me.
After pirates we went on thunder for one more round of goat effect. It never gets olds. We left frontierland and it was time for emh. This is the time when I cheat this Disney system.
We headed over to haunted mansion where they started scanning magic bands. We split up in 2s for this that way I can pretend that I was staying at the resort with them, plus I also brought a magic band. It worked and on we went. I had a nice stare off with a haunted mansion cm in the stretching room.
We hung out not knowing where to go so we walked over to fantasyland where we found ourselves on the happiest cruise that ever sailed. There was a slight outburst for country bears...haters gonna hate
This happiest cruise put me to sleep. At this point I was pretty sure I wasn't going to make it any longer. I had almost given up during EMHs.
We then checked the wait times, mine train said 30 minutes. We walked over there and it was no 30 minutes. Plan ruined onto pooh. But let's be real poohs no country bear!
After pooh we walked like zombies over to tomorrowland where I believe that they should have a different themed country bear show for each different land in the mk. I'm gonna put it in the suggestion box. We got to space, with no sign of Brittany. I hit the wall of "let me just sleep on the magic kingdom floor for tonight" but thanks to space I was jerked around like chicken and woken up. There was still a half hour left.
We headed to the hub and took some classy pictures. I was on a roller coaster called sleep deprivation. One minute I'm a walking zombie the next I just want to skip around the kingdom and never leave. We headed to the emporium where I left shortly after to catch my bus. Peace out country bears.
I walked over to bay lake and caught my bus I didn't get home till around 3. Brittany still wasn't home, she got stuck working the tragic hours. I pretty much passed out cold.

Friday October 17
Today I woke up at a decent time, around 10! I made myself some breakfast and had a nice chat with Jessie. I've said this before but I will say it again I never see my roommates, normally it is in passing. Our conversation led to pillow pets and she told me how they have a ham one. The struggle right now! When I got down here in August I said I was going to buy the pumba one, it goes with my simba and it makes since. Well now they have ham and he would match my new blanket rather nicely. Warning for Ma: don't be surprised if I come home with both of them.
Michael, krista and Amelia had fastpasses this morning at Epcot. So I hung out at the apartment until later when I would meet them over at animal kingdom. In the meantime I went to pick up at package from Gma at the clubhouse. It was packed with banana bread and my water camera memory card.
And some free “sorry you had bed bugs” groceries
Around 1 I got ready and headed off to animal kingdom to meet up with my crew. It was literally the perfect weather for animal kingdom today. Not to hot and not to cold, I was loving it!
Amelia came and found me first. We made our way to festival of the lion king. We had fifteen minutes to get there. On the way there we passed Brittany and Gina. We briskly walked and made it with time to spare. It was a happening place. So we got placed in the warthog section. All was good in the fotlk because all 4 tumble monkeys were there!
After lion king we headed for the safari, it said 30 minutes so we jumped in line. Little did we know the lie that Disney was telling us, we waited forever and there aren't even poachers! We were getting ripped off. We waited a good 1-1.5hour for our 2 week safari. During that time Amelia was not a fan of us calling her a poacher and this is when they learned about Mickey to Mickey. When someone is crabby with someone else you place your magic bands together (or mickey to mickey) until you are both happy.
Next up was yeti time! Alish taught me the curl up into a ball during the backwards part and it's always a thrilling time. Amelia believes that it goes upside down and she wouldn't take no for an answer. I was pretty much peeing my pants laughing so hard because it doesn’t go upside down.
After Everest we walked over to the death ride aka primeval. Amelia was tall enough and has been waiting to ride it. I like to let myself become a limp noodle and fly all over the place...sorry Michael.
This ride literally hurts and that’s what makes it funny.
We then did dinosaur. Let's just talk about how once again the big Dino with the picture was not there. I just don't understand?! Why is it not there?
It was that time of night when we try to figure out where to eat. Pizzafari was out of the question, so we headed to the old yak and yeti quick service. They got ride of my lo mien so I went with the sweet and sour chicken which was still really good. Then on top of that I got a Huge coke because that's all the restaurant had. Which we found out was all pretty much ice.
With our stomachs full it was time to relax and watch its tough to be a big. It's been awhile since I've seen it. However our seats were wet and I blamed everyone for having accidents. Too much liquids were consumed at yak and yeti!
It was starting to get dark so we headed back to Everest for one last ride. It was my first time ever at AK at night and it was pretty exciting. The atmosphere is really nice.
We headed to the front of the park and thought it would be a real fun idea to play hide and seek. More like I thought it would be fun. This is when my obsession with playing hide and seek around the parks started.
We left shortly after and headed to AKL! Time for me to check out the villa. First off what’s with the wind tunnel AKL? The rooms are real classy, its no value resort. We spent our time out on the balcony over looking the animals. We could pretty much only see our favorite cows with antlers, I still don’t know what there called something cattle. We spent a really long time out on the balcony, Michael played some ak music loops while Amelia kept asking when we were going to go to dtd. And for some reason we thought it was the funniest thing. And I will still laugh if someone asks “When are we going to downtown Disney?”
We moved the party inside and then we decided it was probs a good time to head to dtd. So we had to walk down the long hallway that never ended to get the lobby and then out to the bus. The bus ride was more than entertaining. Michael is all disney classy living with the dvc points so while we passed pop century he laughed at my poorness and my value resort trips. Haters gonna hate. He said that he wasn't laughing at me, it was because I was laughing…lies
We got to dtd and it was a party! Of course it was it was Friday. I tried to dodge all my coworkers as we jumped from store to store. Co op was a popular store. The kitchen area alone is everything I want! Amelia got a Vera for her birthday gift so we spent the time to pick out just the right pattern bag. She first picked up the mini hipster but changed her mind wanting the regular hipster. A cm saw this and said that it was just the age and understood what they were going through. So while Krista= and Amelia went back to the Vera's the cm talked to Michael about that age and attitude. As we walked away he just said "I'm not the father" awkward!
Next was WOD, the store was a crazy house. It gives me anxiety, which is strange because when I work in there or dtd in general the crowds don't get to me but when I'm there as I guest I can't stand it. It's probably for the reason that I have places to be.
We eyed up some merchandise and then headed to basin. Oh basin! The hand scrub is heaven. I like to get the skeptics of the hand scrub to love basin and I did my good deed tonight. Michael was a skeptic but I caught him enjoying the softness of his hands afterwards throughout the night. That hand scrub is some legit stuff!
We made our way to the Christmas store where we found out that Elsa was taking over the small shop connected to it, which for right now is the nightmare before Christmas shop. The frozen take over really needs to be done! Go away Elsa! Our last stop for the night was the art of Disney.
The marketplace was about to close so we planned the next day. A nice early morning at studios followed by a night in the kingdom until midnight. We parted ways and I literally just made it to my bus in time.
When I got home Brittany was there hanging out reading. And then we stayed up the whole night/ morning watching Deal With It. It probably wasn't the best idea staying up but I couldn't sleep tonight.
Saturday October 18
Today I woke up to a text from Michael saying they were up and moving. How I woke up to that one and not the one from alish beats me but it’s a good thing I did. I had 30 minutes to get ready to catch the bus. Mission accomplished!
I made it to studios before them so I hung out in the front of the park. They had to stop at blizzard before so while I waited Michael and I planned a whole frozen world for the frozen take over. I’m gonna put it in the suggestion box.
I then was stopped by a cm to take a survey by the time I finished they were standing in front of me. We headed down sunset boulevard and got in line for tot. Time see them ghosts. We got prime seating and I got to experience another group of people's first time seeing them ghosts.
We then headed to a personal favorite, animation academy! There was quite the line today so the cm had us play some Disney villain trivia. He was all about his job, Give that man a gold star! When it was our turn we drew eeyore, not the best character but we were still up for the challenge.
Afterwards Amelia refused to show us her drawing and hide it in her bag for the whole day. Which brought on some more Mickey to Mickey’s
Next it was time to visit a glitch and bad guy. I’m a huge wreck it Ralph fan and have yet to meet them at studios. It was perfect since Big Hero will be taking over their spot soon.
Vanellope snubbed me because I was the odd ball who doesn’t belong in the family.
We then headed to star tours. I love me some Star Wars weekend! However I was mad that I wasn't the rebel spy.
After star tours we went to get some food. Why not visit my roommate Zoe at the backlot express. I ordered my food and she spotted me telling the girl that I needed a magical moment so she went over and got me a Halloween cupcake. MY FAVORITE DISNEY CUPCAKE! I was so excited. I failed at eating today and literally ate maybe 3 chicken nuggets. So I got a box and now I had dinner.
After lunch we headed over to oakens, which is now in a new location from the last time I went too. We walked in, went to the gift shop, I tried to talk mike into putting on the Olaf hat but did not succeed and we left. Bye frozen! It hasn’t been fun.
We stopped in front of toy story mania and decided to see voyage of the little mermaid. After Ariel we headed to the great movie ride. Our tour guide was not impressed with her job it seemed. Thanks for ruining my vacation…now you get a point.
We called it quits at studios and headed over to mk to see my BAES! On the bus ride over I got into a Facebook "fight" with Michael cause he lied to the whole internet about being at mk when we clearly were not.
When we got to mk we picked up some magic cards and headed over to adventureland. We did some major creeping on Aladdin and jasmine, there line was closed so we went to the tiki room. I got a text from alish saying when her next sets were. So we left tikis and jumped in line for Aladdin and Jasmine.
It was definitely a party in Agrabah! Jasmine was all sorts of talkative today and it was probs the best character meet and greet so far. Plus me and Aladdin are pretty tight now.
As we left I realized I left my chicken nuggets in the queue. I’ve been carrying them around all day! How could I forget them?! So I was the awkward person asking the character attendant for it. Casual Sam...welcome to my life.
From there we headed over to splash mountain and waited in the longest line ever. By the time we got on I was not feeling the whole lets get wet thing.
All hail the chicken nugget! (Too bad you can’t see the chicken nugget, but its there!)
My left side was drenched so we dryed off with a ride on thunder. The line wasn't as long. I learned about scuttles...I don't really know what they were called. SCUPPERS. And in return I told them all about the goat effect, it's definitely the wildest ride in the wilderness!
After thunder we headed to fantasyland. We made a pit stop at the tangled restroom where Amelia refused to kingdom dance with me under the floating lanterns.

Week 10 Pt 3
Sunday October 19
This country bear wanted to hibernate for a couple more days but it was their last full day in Disney. I set an alarm for 8:30 and actually woke up. Like what is this? 5 hours of sleep is enough right? However I ended up falling back asleep and woken when they texted me that they just woke up. It was about 10 then so I caught a bus to akl and hung out in their villa as they got ready.
Then off to Epcot we went! When we arrived we went to save money for an ultimate vacation at the great piggy bank adventure. We saved enough money for our vacation! Yeah yeah!!
We stayed to play where's the fire. I personally rock at this game. We got broke up, me and Amelia against Michael and krista. Me and Amelia kept hitting the bonus levels for our group. And in the end we won!
We left innoventions and headed for mission space. Amelia and I went on a date to Mars. I always forget how they pump out the cold air on me and I'm never a fan.
After mission space we all headed to character spot. This was my first time in there that I remember.
The late night last night was taking a toll on the group. The people in front of us and behind us probably thought that we were miserable people.
Goofy was on point today. He was just really enjoying himself.
We then had some pop at club cool. Amelia fell for the Beverly after I said how much I loved it. Next headed towards the showcase. No food and wine, we went to France to get some lunch. Ham sandwiches all around!
We walked all around the showcase, Krista and Michael shared some wine and then over to mouse gears where they all picked up some merchandise. It was 4:30 so we called it quits with Epcot and headed to studios. Michael went back to the resort while us girls went to studios.
When we arrived the first thing we did was rockin roller coaster. The wait was kind of long but not horrible. It was horrible for the reason that I just had the feeling of crashing.
Then we spotted a tour group outside…
After rnr we headed down sunset. Not knowing what to do Amelia said she would draw again! It's my favorite so off we went to animation academy. We had to wait for our class and I may have rested my eyes for a little bit. When we got into the class our drawer told us it was going to be a surprise. I don't like when they do this. I can’t mentally picture what I’m suppose to be drawing. Our character ended up being chip!
After drawing we headed back to star tours. It was only a 10 minute wait...walk on. When we waited for our space shuttle we watched the people on the ride on the security camera for entertainment. After star tours we headed back to tot and waited 20 minutes. On the way back we heard that fantasmic was filled to capacity. Peeps be crazy!
The first showing let out as we got dinner at fare fax. Disney pizza is my favorite and lets not even begin to talk about my obsession with the Caesar salad.
After we finished eating we got in line for fantasmic. Talk about high anxiety level, it's not my favorite thing being hurtled in like cattle. There were these stupid kids behind us tapping me and Amelia on our shoulders. At first I thought it was Michael, but he wasn’t there. So I turned around and literally gave the death glare to the guy.
This show wasn't at capacity and we had no one sitting on the benches in front of us. So that was awesome. Throughout the show I was more captivated at the glow with the show ears then the show itself. However that ending makes me never wanting to leave here. It is just pure magic.
We had about an hour left worth of emh so we headed to toy story only to find the line outside the door. No thank you. So we headed back down Sunset Boulevard to get some rides on tot. The first pic was by far the best picture I have ever taken on the ride.
The second time we were in the front and were just being cute.
Studios was closed down when we got off. We headed to the front and parted ways. Krista invited me back to the resort but I was drained from the past couple days. I said my goodbyes and thanked them for adopting me for the long weekend and letting me be part of their family.
The bus came right away and I made my way back to Patterson.
