Aloha :)
So I've been kind of lucky lately. Only one thing has gone against me, but I can still make up for it somehow at another time...
Tonight for example I was walking home from Publix. I had gotten more than I probably should have and was have a hard time carrying it all. Luckily though, a friend of mine appeared as I walked around the corner and he helped me carry it all home. :)
I seem to be getting days off that I like as well, and next weeks schedule is all mornings. :) ...and even though I have Gogo shifts, I guess I can handle them for the last week of the festival.
I got accepted to participate in STAR WARS weekeds!!! Wooo! Super excited about that! :) Look it up online - it's super popular.
Oh and the Star Wars ride re-opens. It's supposed to be 3D and very good. Am hoping I get to ride it...
Today after work I went and got a coktail after work at France. It was pretty good. Actually it didn't taste like alcohol, so could be dangerous.... However, it was so nice to walk aroudn Epcot after work with a cocktail. :) May have to do it again...
Tomorrow is the formal, after work I just have to come home and get ready. :D I love fun events, yay!
....it's getting close to when I have to go back to NZ... :( It's going to be an interesting and scary new chapter, that's for sure.
OK, got to go.

I'll be going back for sure!
Hey ya'll!
Jellyrolls last night was so much fun! Not only do cast get in free but you get free popcorn and it's free entertainment! The only thing you pay for are the drinks!
..and the entertainment is awesome! The pianists are amazing and very funny. I had a great time. Definately want to go back!
Today was super hot. It was in the 90's -> over 33C and humid and icky!
It was hard to work in, and frustrating being at Gogo for the hottest part of the day. The CDS machine tried to put me there again but luckily I managed to get out of it!
I didn't find out about Star Wars weekends today because the pending status changed. It now says tomorrow. Hmm....
This morning I had a slightly embarrassing moment when I sent an email to someone who ended up not being who I thought. Hopefully they weren't too affected by that and think I'm weird...
OK anyway, I'm going to get an earlyish night
laters!

Jellyrolls
Hey ya'll :)
So a few fun things to look forward to at the moment.
My roomie and I managed to get into a backstage tour of Everest (only 15 places avaliable, so hard to get into!) the day after the formal. ....and of course there's the formal to look forward to! I am going to habg out with one of my Flower and Garden workmates as well as my awesome flatmates. :)
Tomorrow I finds out if I get to do Starwars weekends. I would be super happy if I got to. I love variety!
Tonight I am goint to Jellyrolls. Will update on this later! It's a dueling piano bar and I hear it's very good.
IN other news.
- just over 2 months til my programme is over! Hard to believe. It's goign to be a huge shock to the system. Especially the weather!!!!!
Will be interesting to live in a student Hall though. Especially Cumberland, my first choice. :)
I got some new music for my iPod with a iTunes gift card I got. I love all my new listenings! Lots of rockin country to dance to! :D
I love all my Disney managers. They have their own styles and I love them all for it.
...and with all the complaint I have, I am still a super proud cast member. I love working for The Mouse and I will look upon these days with such happiness!
Oh - can I say that I am also goign to miss being thought of as funny/entertaining. Americans actually understand my jokes and laugh at my sarcasm! That never happens in NZ. I swear I am funnier here! It's awesome. Going to miss people laughing at what I say. It makes me happy. :)
The other day I worked a 12 hour day because of a call in. Am excited for my next paychecks because these next 2 will be great. Which of course is great since my last one of $16! haha
Yesterday I had a fun girlie shopping day with 2 of my roomies. I ended up losing them half the time (which I admit is probably mostly my fault since I get distracted easily...) but it was still great. Except for the getting home part. We got kind of lost and confused with the bus system!
Oh, and the bus drivers were super weird! One dropped us off in a weird place and gave us bad directions and then the other stopped on the side of the road to pick up a golf ball! What in the world!?
Okay! I'm off to meet my friend for Jellyrolls!
Take care ya'll!

p.s - I love the letters/postcards. I am working on replies, promise!

KP leads you to the margharita stand...
Aloha :)
My day off was awesome.
The first part wasn'tso successful though. I have been trying to cash a cheque for forever, but no-one will do it. There's only one place I know of that might, but I don't have a car to get there. So I have to see if I can get one of my friends to drive me. :(
I swear that is one thing that happens a lot here inthe US. No-one wants to take responsibility, and lots of people just pass you onto other people who also can't help you! So annoying!!!!
But getting onto the rest of the day.
My workmate and I managed to get thorugh all 7 KP missions before our dinner, with time to spare. :P It was quite entertaining and you got to see things you wouldn't as a guest who just were to stroll through the park.
I think that there should be a prize for doing all missions! Disney: howcome you can't at least give out a button or sticker?!?
We ate dinner at the French pavillion, at a place called called Le Chefs de France. It was nice, but think I expected better? I'd probably give them a 6/10?
Saw Mum again last night (after my wonderful Gogo cart shift)for the last time. :( Gonna be quite some time before we reunite again. Siiiigh.. :/
We went out to a place on the Boardwalk for dinner (everything else was booked and it was a black-out date for park entry...). It was pretty nice. My chocolate martini was interesting. The last gulp was like 100% alc and made me cringe!
Later, we walked around the lake and then checked out Dance Hall. It was deserted because it was early, but it was impressive and I can imagine it being popular.
Today I had another Gogo shift. I asked little kids to tell me jokes. It was quite funny. I got some awesome responses. My fav was:
"The banana crawled up the tree and slipped!" lol. It was so random I cracked up lauging. XD
Luckily I wasn't at Gogo too long before the free sampling took over (they are doing it for a few days to get out product knowledge) and I go tot close the cart. There were 2 call-ins so I was moved to stock. Which made me happy because I like to stock. :)
-->By the way! I now know what the applesauce at Gogo tastes like. Ad it doens't taste like what I expected. For one thing the apple-strawberry tastes like banana....
After my shift ended I quickly got organised and got to Hollywood Studios for my 2nd shift.
It was a Fantasmic shift and I was a little nervous about it. Not only was it Food and Bev, which I hadn't worked in a while, but I had to try and find the meeting place. ...and that was quite a mission! It was totally out of the way and down a windy pathway.
I was happy to find nice people to help me figure out how Fantasmic food and bev worked. For some reason I had a lot of questions! I guess I was a little nervous.
But there wans't much to worry about. Everyone helped you and even the managers were nice. :)
Unfortunately the park wasn't busy so we closed early. I was a cashier so I finished my dities and then got an ER. I was sad to miss out on the extra few hours pay, but it was nice to get to go home early.
Right. I'm going to bed now. I hardly got any sleep last night due to various roomate cased disturbances!
But I get to sleep in tomorrow. :D
xx
By the way, I am getting better at closing shifts by the way! I learnt a much easier method for counting everythin out at the end of the night! :]

Excited for my KP day off!
Hey ya'll!
Yesterday I worked at Hollywood Studios. I hadn't worked in that area before. It was the Muppets sectionnear the back of the Studios. I hadbarely been there as a guest! However, it wasn't a bad shift. I had lots to do because it was super busy! I had people coming at me from all angles!
--
Today I got to work early like normal. I waited to clock in and then did so when I could (15mins befoe my shift). Then I realised I wasn't working in Cananda!!! So I had to high-tail it to the other side of the world showcase! Luckily I made it because of my fast pace walking. I felt gross by the time I got there though because it was super hot and sticky! :/
ONce I had gotten there I realised I had left my lunch in Canada. :( So in my break (which luckily was 45mins) I walked all the way back and after resting in the breakroom I walked back. I managed to skip a few countries near Japan once my co-ordinator found out and offered me a lift, but by then I had already walked a lot! Yes, I got exercise, but in that heat it was so horrible...
I closed today too. I hardly close (have done so twice) Flower and Garden and I really am not a fan. It's so much effort and it sucks if you get it wrong! One girl showed me a good way of doing it so I understood, but I still prefer opening!
Am excited for my day off tomorrow. :)
I'm going to play Kim Possible at Epcot and then have a dinner planned at France. :)
Although I have early mornings the next few days I have things to look forward to so not complaining. :) Not only do I get a cool dinner tomorrow but the day after I am eating at Hollywood Studios at a place my operations friends rave about.
On a work note..
I love having friends in Operations as well as merch. :) Not only that, but I am excited to break into the Sorin' crowd too. Especially since the break room is pretty segregated!
Q for ya'll, cos we were talking about it at work.
Anyone else think shows like Jersey Shore are stupid? ..and ther people on it should not be famous because there are people far more impressive and with actual skills?
--
I got word back from Uni saying that I should have recieved an offer from the student housing in NZ. I haven't but that would be great if I got that secured because then at least I know I have a place to live!
Then I just have to hope Dad can help me out with his work funding....
Gah NZ is so close! Scarrrrrry! I'm gonna miss Florida and Disney so much. :(
Anyway!. I'm tired.
Off to bed :)
Night ya'll!

Beach Boys
Hey ya'll,
I went to the Beach Boys in concert last night. It was amusing and yet boring at the same time. Not only were they barely moving due to their age, but their music all sounded exactly the same! After about 3 songs I was ready to go. XD ..and yes we left eary like a lot of other people!
My experience this time was different to all the other concerts.
That's becuase there were a lot more people and universal did some strange things to accommodate the crowd. It seemed like they were overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. I got annoyed with the barriers and the fact that we were made to walk around the whole park just to ge back to the concert area. It was also so tight with people that we were constantly being pushed or having our toes run over or something similar. Not so good.
I did get a cocktail though! It was exciting top be able to do that. :P I also got to try about half the flavours before deciding which was great. :) Can't say many of them tasted good, but I enjoyed the experience.
Of course universal does not seem to be a proper evening trip without Panda Express. So that is what we did. :)
Oh and on th 21 subject, I got my ID decal changed so that it doesn't say UNDER 21 anymore! :D
One weird achievment. I can say I have officially parked (or at least people I am with have) in every one of the Universal parking lots. Which is somewhat awesome considering you never get a choice as to where you park because they assign you...
In other news. This week I have been given all these weird evening shifts. Reminds me of Carribbean Beach because I hardly ever got morning shifts there.
I can't say I like the change! I was quite enjoying the switch! Plus I got used to getting up early and think it's lame that I have to now work late. :(
I tried giving away my closing shift but I didn't manage to. :'( Sadness.
This week I have decided to pick up a few shifts and although it will be hard work I need to make the most of the overtime, since my paycheck this week will be about $10 because of the trip I just went on.
So over this week I will work in Hollywood twice and Downtown Disney once. I will be getting my costumes in between my Flower and Garden shifts and hopefully it will work out okay and I am not too tired!
I submitted an interest form to be a part of Star Wars weekends at Hollywood. I know a lot of people who have applied but I have heard it is fun and so I figured I may as well see if I can do it too. :)
Anyway, I have to get ready for work now!

St Simons, Savannah, Charlseton annnd Folly Beach
Hey ya'll!
So I just got back from my little break last night.
Got in a little later than expected, but eventully made it!
My time off was great. :) Nice and relaxing. Road trips are definately fun.
Probably needed more music, but the country music stations were awesome so that kept us entertained. :D I think I even converted someone to country music.... hehe
Quick break down.
St Simons was fery tiny. Not much there. Cute though. Shopping could have been better! Lots of scary old lady shops. :P
The hotel was super adorable. Liked it a lot. :)
Ate at a cute little seafood place. I tried some weird stuff that I can now say I've tried but am noooot a fan of. Like hush puppies (no, not the shoe brand...)
Savannah was pretty. Had lots of horse carriage rides like in New Orleans (though there they used mules). Old but had character.
Ate at this seemingly dodgy looking (well, I thought so, anyway) turkish place. Good food, but I was scared the whole time about the atmosphere. Not only was it a Hookah bar (quite common here) but there was only this one guy who ran the whole place??
Dinner was super yummy. Was on the waterfront and on a balcony. Nice live music. I really enjoyed my salad and main.
Charlseton is pretty. Nice characer. Cute shops (I went waaaay overboard with bling buying... It was so much cheaper than NZ though. Couldn't help myself XD )
I turned 21 in Charlseton. A different place to turn 21 that's for sure.
Had my first cocktail since NZ. It tasted great. :) Of course I dind't get drunk, but it was fun watching others be. :P
Folly Beach has beautiful sand. :) It was a lovely beach actually. I could lie there for ages.
The water was warm! :D
Too bad about the jellyfish!
Had milkshakes on the beach. :D
Okay, au revoir! Got to go. Lame 6.15am wake up tomorrow. :(
