There was singing, dancing, and almost fainting.

Alright. Time to update my blog!

There's been some fun stuff going on lately so I'll tell you everything I can.

This past Friday and Saturday, Disney filmed the Christmas Parade and performances. I only had the chance to go to Friday's filming but it was still nice. I got to put on my new Mickey Christmas shirt and my Minnie santa hat. Florida, Texas guy, my Texas roomie and her co-worker New Zealand all went to watch the show. When we got there, we were led to the stage for the performances. The first singer was Cee Lo Green. (I'm not sure how many of you will know who he is but he's the guy from Gnarls Barkley. Also the guy from the Sprite commercial with the beat-boxing baby) Anyway, we watched him perform and enjoyed as much as we could. However, there was a huge girl that must have been at least 6 feet tall standing right in front of me so there was no view for me....

After that, they said the next performer would be out at 1:30. That got a lot of people to leave. We scooted up but I started to feel a little dizzy. I knelt down so I wouldn't stumble. However, every time I stood up, I would get dizzy again and my vision would get a little white. Like the light was all I could see. So finally, I decided that I needed some space. By this time, Texas guy had left and it was just us four girls. Anyway, by the time I decided to work my way through the crowd, my vision had gone completely white. I couldn't see a single thing and I was very weak on my feet. A stranger (whose face I never got to see) offered me some help and led me through the crowd. They found another cast member to watch over me and get me some water. After sitting down for some time, my vision came back and the water helped me regain a composed feeling. I took off my hat and let the breeze cool me down. I had almost fainted. I think it was from a lack of water and a good amount of heat from the sun and the crowd that surrounded me. 

Either way, I took some time in the back of the audience and cooled off, feeling much better. Jennifer Hudson was the final performer and she was great! She wore a beautiful dress and sang beautiful songs. After that, Texas and New Zealand had to leave. Florida and I stayed and got something to eat. We then wandered the park a little, picking up some of the last presents we needed. That was really all of the excitement we had from that day.

Then on Monday, the College Program held a Winter Formal for all of the college kids! It was a jungle theme and so the characters from the jungle were all there. We met Timon, Rafiki, and the three hyenas from Lion King. We also met Baloo, Mowgli, and King Louie from the Jungle. Terk, Jane, and Tarzan were there as well. Safari Minne and Mickey were the biggest crowd pleasers though. Minnesota, her man, Florida, and I all went together. There are pictures on Facebook for those who want to see. There wasn't much dancing done but that's cause I didn't really have anyone to dance with. Besides not going out on the dance floor, the night was full of laughter, good company, and lots of fun!

I have less than a month until this part of the program is over and I start my extension portion. So we'll see what adventures happen before the change over. This blog will continue from one portion to the next so the stories will continue.

There was a turkey day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It's a wonderful day to spend with family, sharing a meal and memories. 

I wish I could have spent the day with my family but I am spending it with my Disney family. I got up this morning and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, texting my mother the entire time so we could talk about what we liked and didn't like. I loved watching all of the performances from the Broadway shows and the Radio City Rockettes. Those are always my favorite parts.

Sadly, Florida and Minnesota were both working this morning so they didn't get to see it. And Texas woke up towards the end of the parade so she got to see the last bit. At least she got to see Santa finish the parade.

After that, I got to watch a little bit of the National Dog Show, looking at the dogs and texting my best friend Vegas. We were joking around about what dogs we would like to have as pets. In that department, we are fairly different. She wants a bigger dog and I would like a smaller dog. Oh well... If we ever live together and get a dog, we'll figure it out in time.

So I had to work today so I went into work at 2:00. It wasn't bad at all because I was working on register, getting to interact with guests and ask them about their days. I spent my time enjoying work and then I got to come home. It was a fairly simple day at work. Now I just have to rest some because I have work in the morning. It's been a while since I've worked a morning shift so we'll see how that goes. Let's hope for the best!

Well, that's all I really have to say. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now, it's time to get in the Christmas spirit! Woohoo!

There were decorations and holiday music!

So I'm back again to blog! 

It's getting close to the holidays and my apartment has begun to decorate for Christmas! It's so much fun because Florida's family brought us a fake tree that we're going to decorate with our own styles. We all have decorations that describe us. 

Florida has cool ornaments with the colors of a peacock because she likes them.

Texas got some red and gold Mickey ornaments with some special ones with Tinkerbell since she's her favorite.

Minnesota is supplying the yummy candy canes for our edible ornaments cause she's super sweet.

I have some ornaments in pink, purple, and white, with two dancer ornaments and a ice-skating Snoopy.

It's going to be quite a pretty tree and I'm so excited for the holiday seasons. 

My schedule isn't too bad lately so I'm just having to take it one day at a time so I don't get too frazzled. Either way, I have news!

I applied for an extension of my college program. I really wanted to go into the entertainment department. When I got the results of my extension, I (sadly) was not given the entertainment department like I wanted. However, I did get an extension in Merchandise. Two of my roomies work merchandise and they really enjoy it. I'm about 90% sure that I'm going to accept it but I've been letting it settle into my mind for a while before I officially accept. 

When (If) I accept, I will be staying here until the 11th of May. I'll get more time in Disney World and get to experience a new job that could help me discover myself some more. I'm hoping to find my way by the time I'm done so maybe then I'll know where I'm meant to be and what I'm meant to do. 

Well, I hope everyone has a great holiday time and I will be back with more info and updates on my life!

There was a struggle and an intermission.

Hello everyone.

I know it's been quite a long time since I've posted anything and I am sorry.

There has been a lot of stuff going on and by a lot of stuff, I mean that I have been very tired from work and just haven't been motivated to post anything. 

Things with the new roomie are great. She's really sweet and funny. 

So Florida is doing well, Texas is doing well, Minnesota and Minnesota's boyfriend are both doing well. And I am also doing well.

I have been going through some hard emotional times but it's just because of uncertainty in life. However, I have wonderful friends and family that keep me going. I have different options for my life so now I just have to wait and see what is going to happen. 

I know this isn't much of a post but I can't really think back to the different stories that should be told in the past month. I will do my best to start posting regularly but for now, just know that work has been tough, life has been a little stressed, but I am having fun and loving my friends and family.

There was a party and a wonderful mother!

Hello everyone! 

Last night, my group got together and we went to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween! It was super fun! We all had pretty neat costumes and had loads of fun. There was a parade, a stage show with the villains, trick-or-treating around the park and lots of characters around to meet. 

We started the night by going to a comedy show by the characters from Monsters, Inc. It was so funny! I loved it and recommend it to anyone that ever visits Walt Disney World. After that, we went to meet some of the princesses. And they had their princes with them! I got to meet Cinderella and her Prince Charming, Snow White and her Prince Charming, and Rapunzel and Flynn Rider!!! He was very dashing and Rapunzel commented on my pointe shoes! She asked if I would come to her dance class on Friday. I wish she was serious because I would love to go to a ballet class with Rapunzel. 

Anyway, after that, we walked around and began to figure out what else we wanted to do for the night. A few people got food and then we saw the HallowWishes Fireworks Spectacular. After that, I went to meet Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip! I have been dying to meet him so I got a few pictures with just him before adding in Princess Aurora. She was very nice about me having a crush on him. 

After meeting my royal crush, we caught the Villains show on the Castle stage. We even got some pictures of Minnesota with her twin, Cruella De Vil. It was so funny to see two Cruellas next to each other, especially since Minnesota's boyfriend was dressed as a dalmatian. After that, we moved to a different area to watch the Boo To You Parade. 

By the time that parade was over, we started some Trick-Or-Treating but my legs were aching and I had work early the next day. Florida worked an evening, Minnesota and her boyfriend had today off, Texas didn't get to come with us because of work, and my other two friends didn't have work early or at all. But either way, I had the earliest work time out of all of us to be up so I needed some sleep. We split up into those that wanted to head home and those that would stay. Once home, I changed, wiped my make-up off, and passed out.

And so far, today has been a bit of a normal day.. I dealt with some emotions but its just one of those days and I'm over it.

Now, I would like to do something for a special lady. 

Today is my mother's birthday and for some reason, it's pretty tough to be away from her this year on her birthday. I miss her a lot and hope she has a great birthday. I couldn't ask for a better mother and love her sooo much! She's done so much for me and I hope my flowers and present can show her just a fraction of how much I love and appreciate her. She's such a strong woman and I love talking to her. I may be an Oklahoma Princess but my mother is the Queen! She will always be the best woman in my life and I hope that she has a great day. Smile, mom! I love you x1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!!!!!

There was a new character.

So we have met our new roommate and she is very neat. 

I am going to be calling her Minnesota. She works over in EPCOT with Team Possible, the Kim Possible scavenger hunt. She moved out of her old apartment because the girls there were more like villains than princesses. She couldn't live in an evil lair so she moved over to our palace.

When I got home from work on Sunday, her things had been moved in but she had already left for work so I was left in anticipation all day! Her stuff looked pretty neat and I was very excited about meeting her. When she finally got home, we all decided to sit around and chat to get to know each other better. Florida had been here when she moved in and had talked with her some but Texas and I had been at work that morning so we had to wait until that evening to meet her. 

She's very funny, nice, smart, and has unique quirks like the rest of us. She also brought some board games for us to play! We're so excited. 

Yesterday, Florida and I had the day off so we went out in the morning to run some errands. We got my bangs trimmed, picked up a costume at Wilderness Lodge for Florida (she's work two days at the Wilderness Lodge merchandise store), and ran to Walmart to get some supplies and find Florida a costume for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party! We've got a big group going! It's going to be so much fun!

After our errands, we grabbed some Steak And Shake for lunch and went home. Then we got a hold of Minnesota's boyfriend, who I will call Minnesota man. He had the day off and so did one of his roommates. So then we decided to go to EPCOT and bother our new roomie. We got there and wondered around some, finding Minnesota at one of the tents for the Kim Possible game. Florida, Texas, and I are apparently somewhat famous among her co-workers as being the new roomies that are much better than her villainous ones. So after she had to move locations, we went and rode some rides and wondered the World Showcase. It was raining somewhat and we got drenched. It was a fun day but it would have been better without the rain. 

So after we had run out of things to do, Florida, Minnesota man's Louisiana roommate, and myself decided to go home. We got home, dropped off Louisiana, went to our apartment, put on our pajamas and watched some TV. Then Minnesota and her man came home and we hung out for a while before everyone got tired and decided that it was bedtime.

And today is going to be a fun day! It's the night we get to go to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween!! We're all dressing up and it's a totally random group of costumes. We've got Cleopatra, Cinderella, a ballerina, Cruella De Vil, and the two guys going with us are still unsure but we'll figure something out for them. You can't go to a Halloween party at Disney without getting dressed up! I think one of them plans to be Thor and the other one is still unsure. He might be the Beast after his transformation back into a human.... I'll let everyone know what happened soon.

So we're all gathering at the apartment around 4 to start getting ready and then it's Halloween party time! And yes, we know it's not Halloween yet but we got cast member discounts for the month of September so we're doing it anyway. Besides, it makes the holiday last longer!

Alright. I'll let everyone know how things went! Love you all!!

There was a plot twist!

Hi everyone. So it's been almost a week and a half since my last update and I have some stuff to report. Alright. So since my last update, a few new things have happened and I hope I can remember them all.

So, after my last post, the next few days were pretty normal with just work and relaxing afterwards. I'd come home, see who wasn't at work or had already finished work. I'd change out of my uniform, put on my pjs, sit in the living room, and just relax until it was time to start prepping for bed. I've been talking with my Bestest Friend Ever (I'm gonna call her Vegas (And yes, I know that it should be a state to match the rest of my pattern but she's special! She's so special I put parentheses inside parenthesis!)).  But yeah, Vegas and I have been chatting and missing each other very much! Now I love it when 7:30 rolls around and she gets home from her job so we can chat. 

So yeah, I've been talking to Vegas a lot more recently and the days haven't been too strange. Then Tuesday rolled around. Florida and I both had the day off and we were both soooo excited because it was the Season 9 Premiere of NCIS!! Woohoo!! Her and I are both very excited for that show and made that our major plan for the whole day. 

Then Wednesday came and Florida and I both had the day off again. We had made plans to go out with another Florida girl and two Texas boys to have fun in the parks. We decided to start off in Disney's Hollywood Studios, riding the Rockin' Roller Coaster twice in a row, before moving on to Tower of Terror then the Great Movie Ride before finishing the day with the Indiana Jones stunt show, Star Tours, and Toy Story Mania! After that, we were all starving so we piled back in the car and drove to Cici's for some pizza. One of the Texas boys left after that to go hang out with some other friends while the four of us left went to the Magic Kingdom. 

Once we got there, we went to meet Mickey Mouse before wandering the park. We rode Splash Mountain and then the Haunted Mansion ride. As it started to get dark, we went to stake out a spot for the Electrical Parade. We sat down in a super good spot and chatted while we waited. The parade was wonderful! I just loved it. I can't wait to do that someday! After that, we moved down Main Street to get a good spot for the evening fireworks. I had never seen Wishes before so I was super excited. It was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Once that was done, we went home. Florida and I stayed up and watched Singin' In The Rain before both heading to sleep.

After that, things were looking pretty normal... until yesterday.

There were some events that happened that should mostly be kept between those involved but don't worry. Nothing dangerous, illegal, or frightening happened. I'm just going to say that South Carolina has gone home after some stressful times and I wish her the best of luck and love her dearly. She will be greatly missed by all three of us in the apartment. 

Tomorrow, we get to meet our new roommate so I'm excited/nervous about that but from what I've heard, she is a pretty cool person. I just hope we get along really well.

I have one more day of work before I have two days off and one of those days, I'm going to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween with Florida! Woohoo! I get to dress up and go to the parks in costume! I am so pumped! I'll let you all know how that goes.

Thanks for reading!
