So on friday morning we went to Fantasia Golf. So that was a lot of fun. Then we ate at the Big River Grille. I had meatloaf but it wasn't as good as when I went there last time. Then I went off to work. When I got there is was so busy the floor was just filled with people. So I was on register all day again and it was constant lines. The shop looked as though I bomb had gone off because it was completely trashed.
Finally on saturday I had a day off. We went to Downtown disney and ate at Raglan Road which is the irish pub. I had sausage and chips but it still wasn't as good as back home. Then we got some ice cream from Ghiradelli. After that we saw Enchanted at the cinema which was brilliant and so funny. Then we got the bus to All Star Sports and got some cake before going over to Blizzard Beach WinterSummerland Golf. It's similar to Fantasia golf and was a lot of fun. Then we walked back to All Star Sports and tried to avoid the sprinklers.
So sunday was the start of another week of work. I was quite happy that I was put in the kids stock room. I was just hanging stuff but I got to sit down which was nice for a 12 hour shift. I also got to pick my breaks so I went on break and saw the christmas fireworks. They are so good I wish I could watch them every night. Then Tracy showed me how to be a runner so that hopefully I can do other stuff than just registers.
On monday I had SIMS training in the morning. This was basically showing you how to lift boxes and stuff. But I was the only one there so it was a bit weird. But at least it finished 20 mins early so I sat in the break room.
Yesterday I had Basics training in the morning which was just revision of Traditions so that was a boring 2 hours. I wasn't very happy that they moved me from stock to register again. :(

Thanksgiving week!
So last week at work I didn't get to do different things yet. But on friday we went to Seaworld which was good even though I had only 4 hours sleep. We did pretty much everything. Kraken was great and we went on it twice. We also went on Atlantis even though it was freezing cold but luckily we didn't get too wet. We also saw the whale and dolphin shows. Cheesy as usual but still good.
Then on saturday we picked our course choices for after christmas. I chose event management and international travel and tourism for my 1st and 2nd choices in the morning. Then I chose survey of wines and event managent as my 1st and 2nd choices in the afternoon. After university we went to MGM. We saw fantasmic and went on tower of terror. We also went and saw the osbourne dancing lights. They are so cool and it felt really christmassy so we picked secret santas. Then we went over to the boardwalk we got some food and then we rented one of the bikes. It was so funny but we were really tired by the end of it. It was so difficult getting over the bridges.
Work this week hasn't been as busy as I thought it would be so thats been a nice suprise. My throat was sore at the begining of the week so I was in the kids stock room hanging stuff which was nice for a change. Also you get to just hang around and talk upstairs. Yesterday I also got to learn how to do the fairy godmother in training magical moment.
Today is thanksgiving so it will probably be really busy but I hope not.

Amazing Night!
So after going to UCF on saturday we went to downtown disney and saw cirque do soleil. It was brilliant. Then we went to Magic Kingdom and got funnel cake. We saw wishes and went on lots of the kids rides like Peter Pan and the flying carpets. It was good. Then we decided to stay for the cast preview of the christmas parade. So we went to toontown which is where everyone had to wait until the park was clear. We got crisps and water for free :) but we had to wait for 2 hours and it was really cold. The parade was great though. We also got to see the castle lit up with the xmas lights. It's so beautiful and looks like it is covered in snow.
So on sunday it was back to work again. A friend of Rowena from back home came and said hello which was nice. I was also working in zone 70 which is kids and I haven't been there before so that was ok. I kept ringing Aerial who was in the kids stock room asking for her to look for sizes. Other than that nothing really happened.
Today was annoying because once again when I was scheduled for stock I wasn't doing stock. I was on the registers again :( But I spoke to Ricard about it and hopefully I will be able to do stock soon.

Emporium Hell!
Wednesday morning I went to wal mart as usual. Then got the bus to work. I was a crazy busy day and I was so annoyed to be put on registers again. So it got even worse when Fay who is a castmember who has been at the emporium since it opened was rude and was telling me what to do when I thought it was the wrong thing to do. Luckily it was my break so I stormed off before I could say something I would regret.
Thurday we played tennis in the morning which was fun but work was pretty similar. At least my direct deposit has gone through so now I don't have to pick up my paycheck each week. Andrea who is a trainer at the emporium noticed that I was really unhappy and told me that I should talk to one of the managers. So hopefully I will have the chance to do that soon.
So it was friday and that means day off again. In the morning we went to the Grand Floridian and got some food before renting a boat. It was so nice driving the boat around the lake and we had so much fun even though kirsty tried to kill us. Then we went to Epcot and attempted to drink round the world again but it didn't work. Charlotte D got drunk though which was really funny. So we went back to Vista and watched Coyote Ugly at Charlotte P's.
Today so far I have been to UCF. Theme park management was good in the morning because we got to design our own theme park. But guest service management was boring. Tonight we are going to see Cirque du Soliel so i'm really excited.

Mickey's Not So Scary Party!
On friday we went to Mickeys not so scary halloween party at the magic kingdom. I dressed up as a golfer, jayne was alice in wonderland, charlotte p was a puppet, charlotte d was a ghost and kirsty was a cowgirl. First we went to get some food at cosmic rays which wasn't good. My burger was cold. Then we went and met some of the characters dressed up in their halloween costumes. We saw alice in wonderland which was funny because jayne was dressed up as alice. Then we went to watch the parade and fireworks. We got lots of sweets from all the trick or treat stands. Then we met some more characters before going on thunder mountain since it has now reopened. After that the park was closed but we went to look at our pictures at expo hall. Unfortunately the woman there was useless and it took ages. We were almost the last people to leave.
It was UCF on saturday morning as usual. We had an exciting lunch though because we had pizza. Ok so it's not that exciting but after having turkey and cheese for 2 weeks in a row it was nice to have something different. Then in the afternoon we went to the cinema to see the nightmare before christmas in 3d. But before that we went to Bongos for dinner which was good and it was nice to have food that isn't junk. Then we saw nightmare before christmas but it wasn't very 3d so it didn't make much difference. Then I went over to Kirsty and Vicki's apartment for some wine and in the end I left really late at about 3am.
On sunday I had a 10 hour shift until 3am which wasn't good. I was tired and slightly hungover from the night before so when I got into work and I was put on registers again I was even more unhappy. Once again I was put down as stock but ended up on registers. So it was a long and boring shift and I didn't get home until 4am.
On the 5th november (bonfire night) we had breakfast at Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge. The reservation was a 9am so we had to get the bus at 8:20am. Not many hours sleep! But breakfast was good with muffins and cossiants as well as bacon and sausages. Then me and claire got the bus back but we had to wait an hour for the bus :( The others went to animal kingdom so we should have just done that. But I got home and had a few more hours sleep before going to work. This time it was a nice 6 hour shift even though I got stuck in zone 85 on my own for the second half of my shift. But it was quite busy in for once so it wasn't too bad. It was annoying that I couldn't see the fireworks though. Also we it was time for me to go home I couldn't clock out because I was still assigned to the register. So I had to get a manager to sort it out before I could leave.
This morning is really nice and sunny. I went and got the mail and was happy to see that I finally got my cast celebration book with all the discount coupons in it :) Then we went to downtown disney to get tickets cirque du soleil on saturday. Then we went to earl of sandwich to get some lunch before getting to bus back to vista. Tonight i'm working 4:45 to 10:45 which is an ok shift but it means i'm closing which I hate.

Happy Halloween!
Tuesday 30th October was another nice shift at work although once again I was on the registers. It was a halloween party and it was sold out but it still wasn't that busy.
So on wednesday it was halloween. But in the morning I went to walmart and wasn't feeling too well. When I was waiting to pay I felt really hot and then like I was going to faint. Then I was sick and then I felt really cold. It was horrible so I went home and went back to bed. When it came time to go to work I decided that I would go in but not for the whole 10 hour shift. It wasn't fun because I felt so unwell. If i'd known the number for calling in then I probably would have done that. But I got to go home at 9:30pm which was ok.
So thursday 1st november I had a late shift. In the morning I cleaned and spoke to my parents. Work was ok. I spoke to someone from cast services which is a new thing since when I was there in summer 2006. She was just talking to all the new people individually to make sure that everything is alright. I also got a certificate for passing the training which is nice. So the evening went ok and not much happened except when it came to closing some people just didn't want to leave.

Busy week!
On thursday at work I saw Jayne on the bus so we went to pick up our paychecks. Then I went to the emporium. I worked until close again but at least next week is better.
Yay for friday which was my day off. We met at the cubhouse and then went to TGI fridays at the crossroads. Then me and the charlottes walked to downtown disney. We looked round the shops and they have some lovely stuff in the art of disney but it's quite expensive. So I just bought a postcard. Then we went back to vista and then to walmart. We were looking for halloween costumes but wal mart didn't really have any nice ones. I decided to improvise and go as a golfer.
Saturday was UCF day and theme park management was quite interesting. We learnt about the early rides and rollercoasters and how unsafe they were. Then we had lunch which was pretty much the same as last week and we had pretsels again. In the afternoon guest service management was pretty boring. Then we got back to vista and went to company D in epcot to buy mickeys not so scary halloween party tickets for 2nd november. Then we ate fish and chips from the UK pavillion which was so good. Next we got the boat over the mgm. We went on the tower of terror and then headed back because it was raining. We waited for nearly 45 minutes for the bus which was annoying but there was an accident on one of the roads.
So it was back to work again on sunday 28th but with a nice early shift. I saw Jena on the bus which was nice because I worked with her at glow. Although she was only visiting for the weekend she said that she would be back in december. Work was good although it is a lot quieter in the emporium during the day.
On monday I had another nice shift and also when I picked up the mail I got another birthday card and letters from the bank. Now I have my debit card. YAY! Me and claire were going to play tennis but since it was raining lots we decided not to. We saw Vicky and then we all went to Vista Bank to cash our paychecks. It was raining so much and we got soaked walking from the bus to the bank. Then when we were finished at the bank we looked round company D hoping that it might stop raining. But it didn't so we got even wetter going over to property control and cast connection. But it was worth it because I got a winnie the pooh for $5 because his stitching in his arm had come undone. So I can sow that up. In cast connection I got a Tshirt and some postcards. Then I went back home to change out of the wet clothes before going off to work.
