its been a whirlwind!
I can't even begin to explain how crazy these past 6 days have been. I have seriously been going non-stop whether it is work, cleaning, unpacking, going to the parks, sleeping, bonding with the roommates I have just been going and going and going! I was lucky enough to get yesterday and today off of work and lucky enough to work 82 hours before my next day off. Don't worry, I know you are jealous ;) haha
Its weird to think that I now live in Orlando, something I only could have dreamed of when I was little. Its even weirder to realize that I have only been here for 6 days when it seems like soo much longer than that! But I guess I can catch you up on what these past 6 days have been like. Maybe writing all of it down will help me wrap my head around all of this craziness.
Check in Day!
February 2nd rolls around bright and early. As tired as I was I couldn't help but get excited!! Long story short because everyone is right - I am way too exhausted to write my whole life story on this thing and I highly doubt you guys want to hear about it too haha so anyways, the outcome of check in was that we got a 4 bedroom in Chatham Square apartment complex and I love it. It is so nice inside and I have some of the best roommates ever. We all get along great and have so much fun together so we definitely lucked out there! During casting I found out that I will be working in Downtown Disney at the World of Disney and I am so excited to be there! Not going to lie, the first day was extremely long filled with a boring housing meeting, some grocery shopping, unpacking, a tearful goodbye to my mom, Chili's with Brooke and Emilee, a target/walmart run with them as well and then an attempt at putting our beds on bed risers....this was definitely an interesting adventure haha Needless to say by the time I got in to bed I was exhausted!
Day 2!
To be truthfully honest I don't remember what we did on day 2 haha I remember sleeping in a little bit, hanging out with the roommates, unpacking some more and then an adventure with Brooke, Emilee, Shawna and Jessica! We decided that instead of going out, we were going to cook our first home cooked meal in our new apartment :) We decided that since there were 3 texas girls in our apartment we would show them what a dinner from texas is really like so we cooked some tex-mex for the roommates as well as Lacy and Brandon. It was definitely a fun night with all of the roommates and new friends. We played a little rockband, hung out and just got to know eachother which was definitely much needed. Again, as soon as my head hit the pillow that night I was out, only to be woken up by my alarm going off at 5:15 in the morning for Traditions...yikes!
Traditions!

Welll, we had the morning traditions class which I was pretty happy about because it meant we got to go to the parks afterwards! I was also pretty pumped when I realized that I actually enjoyed traditions and it wasn't a drag. Sure it was early and I HATED wearing business clothes but the information we learned during the class and walking around Magic Kingdom were so worth it that I definitely loved it! After Traditions we all raced home, got somethin to eat and then took off to the parks! Our first stop was Hollywood Studios and it was so much fun! We rode Tower of Terror, Rock N' Rollercoaster, watched the High School Musical Parade, and walked around laughing the whole time. I couldn't believe that this was my new home :) After our Hollywood Studios adventure we hopped on the bus to Magic Kingdom to watch Wishes with the roommates for the first time. Without fail it chokes me up every time I watch it. It is just absolutely amazing! After that, we took a stroll under the tunnels looking for the bus to get back to the apartment. Back at the apartment was a whole other adventure in itself! Haha first of all, Brooke, Brandon, Jaci and myself were eating cake in the middle of our floor when it sounded like someone was trying to break in. Can you say creepy?! I wont bore you with the details of that night but needless to say it was very entertaining.
Day 4!
Saturday consisted of sleeping in a little bit and then going to what felt like traditions only for Downtown Disney - and a whole lot more boring! haha It was another 4 hour class learning all about the past, present and future of DTD as well as walking all around the town. OUCH do my feet hurt! I have about 8 blisters on each foot from every pair of shoes that I have worn haha lame but then I got to get my costume which was quite exciting and the rest of the night was spent relaxing at home and hanging out with the roomie!
First day of work!
Sunday was my first day of training, I am officially earning my ears now :) I had to be in DTD at 8:30 which meant hopping on the bus at 7:25 - blah but I will survive haha Nothing really exciting happened the first day, I got a tour of where everything was in the store, got to see some really cute princesses, did a bunch of boring computer work that I was trying so hard not to fall asleep during and then I got to learn one of the hairstyles that I will be doing! It was a decent day but I am glad the computer work is over with. With it being Superbowl Sunday we of course had to watch the game! I don't care much for football but I had to support my girls performing at half time <3 Congrats Planoettes - y'all rocked that field and I am so proud of you girls! It was just a chill night with the roomies but ended up being a ton of fun! I can't wait for more nights like that.
EPCOT!

Since it was my first day off and there were a few of us who had the day off we decided we would venture over to one of the parks - Epcot. Unfortunately, we lost Shawna along the way because she got called into work. Lame! haha so Emilee and I were on our way to Epcot and had such a great day! We spent the whole day walking around the entire world meeting every character that we could. By the end of the day I had added 17 new autographs to my autograph book! Some including Mulan, Snow White, Aladdin and Jazmine, Pooh and Tigger and the list goes on. Afterwards, Jaci, Victoria, Nicole and Shawna met us in China for a night out. Well, that was a fail. hahaha the prices were a bit more than we had expected them to be and it just ended up not working out like we had planned. I mean really, who pays 6 dollars for a freaking cucumber?! haha oh goodness, We watched Illuminations (SO AMAZING!) and called it a night.
Todayyy
Well, I had today off as well. I slept in which was definitely needed, did some relaxing, took a trip to walmart with Emilee, now I am sitting here doing this. After I get some laundry and stuff done, anyone who is off is going to head over to Magic Kingdom to play in the parks and watch Wishes! I feel like it has been a productive and successful day :)
oh and did I mention I found out last night that my boyfriend and his mom are in the process of booking their flight here for March?! I am beyond excited - I can't wait to see them!!!! :)
well, I will do my best to update this. Like I said earlier I start an 82 hour work week tomorrow so I am not too sure how much energy I am going to have but I will do my best to update this as much as I can!
In the meantime, wish me luck as I earn my ears to become a fairy godmother in training! <3
