There's no such thing as Accidents: February 2012

When I first arrived!

Guys, I love Orlando. Things are great! I am sitting on my couch in my apartment while wearing only shorts and a t-shirt (it's February). Today is my first real day off in about a week. I've been on the go training every day and passing out from near-exhaustion every night just to start over again. Although I have been very busy, I still make time for fun. My roommates and I try to go to the parks as much as possible. If we are too tired, we stay home and relax instead.

Highlights of my Disney Adventures thus far:

My birthday! My birthday happened to fall upon my first day of work. However, my first day at Disney wasn't an average day of work: I got to visit the Magic Kingdom and saw Mickey Mouse! Afterwards, I wrangled some of my roommates for a day of fun at the Magic Kingdom! I wore my pink Minnie Mouse ears and pink Toms to the park and also received a "Happy Birthday" pin! Later, all of my roommates and our neighbors went to dinner at Rainforest Cafe and explored Downtown Disney. Guys, go to Goofy's Confectionery on your birthday! You get free stuff! I got a free chocolate-covered marshmallow coated with M&Ms! I also got a ton of Mickey stickers for my birthday! Disney birthdays are AMAZING!
Going to the parks. So far, I have been to three out of the four parks down here with my roommates (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT). I think Hollywood Studios is my favorite park so far; it has most of my favorite rides (Star Tours, Tower of Terror...) and I love the 1920s Hollywood theme. When I went, my roommate and I got to "act" in the Studio Back-lot Tour! We also had the pleasure of meeting Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc. The other night I went to Epcot with a different roommate and went on most of the rides. Then, we got dinner in France and watched the fireworks from our table! Tres magnifique!
Finding out where I worked. On the first day, I had to go through a maze of lines to register for housing, file my new-hire paper work, and other various things. This day was very chaotic (I wasn't sure if I was going to make it on time! I got to registration 5 minutes before it closed!) and I was super nervous and excited to finally be in Orlando. When I went through Casting (The Disney way of saying "Employment Office"), I was finally told where I was working. I got placed into the Yacht and Beach Club resorts!!!
