Day Seven...

Sunday was a long day!Not much interesting i can remember about it. Day an 8 and a half hour day which was all just really boring training. Abit of computor stuff and then we went into the Boutique. I didnt do anything we any major responsibility just pixie dusted for about two hours! Which i was really rubbish at cuz i was nervous, my wand didnt work so i had to shake it really vilontly, i felt like an idiot interupting peoples convosations to ask if they wanted to be pixie dusted and to top all that off i had to say "Bibbid Bobbidi Boo, may all your princess dreams and wishs come true"!
Then i got to join in the parade which was really cute, i didnt realise we had to do a photoshoot at the end tho with the princesses! And im really unphotogenic so im probly ruining ll those photos. Loads of people kept coming up to me aswell and asking me if i would be ina photo with their children which was quite nice actually cuz ill be in their family album about when they went to Disney. Probs still ruining the photo tho.


Day Six...

So i forgot the purse obvs. It was my first day of work and i was stressing out so much that they wouldn't let me do the training without my ID. When i got there tho it was all fine, panic over, i got half a point taken off me tho (your only allowed 6 max.) so great first impression! When we got there we had the most ridiculous training ever, i was trying not to laugh. Stuff like how to pick up a box and which side of your hand to use to push objects. We then had a massive presentation on the history of Disney, none of which im gunna remember cuz i kept zoning out so i hope a guest never asks me. We were supposed to go on a tour of Downtown Disney but it was raining again so we had a powerpoint presentation instead with was fine by me cuz im such a tired person i feel like im gunna fall asleep if i havnt had a good 9 hours haha. My shifts at Bibbidi Bobbidi soon change that though!
In the evening we went to Magic Kingdom to watch the night time parade and the fireworks. The parade was really pretty and was basically glow in the dark dancers and floats, it was really entertaining. Everyone gets so pushy trying to see though! Especially the mothers, they go crazy. There was a really cringy tribute to america float at the end aswell and all the Americans follwed after it. CRINGE! The fireworks were really good aswell. They used loads of amazing 3d lighting tricks on the castle, and put up pics of the guests who'd visited on the walls. There was a really cool part where Tinkerbell flies out from the castle on a wire across the sky.
Before we went home we went on Thunder Mountain and Marianne absolutly wet herslef at my rollercoaster face (which i thought was normal) so then we went on 3 more times and everyone had a turn sat next to me and they were all in tears at my face! On one ride Marianne sat in front and took photos the whole way round so there gunna be a treat!

Day Five...

So ive started work now and ive been doing quite a few hours so ive gotten behind with this blog. So im trying to catch up now but im already starting to forget what I did on certain days which is anoying. Fridays not hard to remember cuz i spent most the day lying around the flat. Everyone else had work and there was a massive thunderstorm (which turned out to be the first of many!) so spent most the day indoors. In the evening we all went round Beths and watched the Princess and the Frog. How Disney of us ha. I took my purse over, which has all my Disney ID in, to buy and drink and i remember thinking dont forget the purse!!.....

Day four...



Went to Hollywood studios today! I was so excited when i got there i started running around the park haha. We went on tower of terror and it broke down! So got to go to the front of the que for another go although i wasnt sure i wanted one.. The heat was sooooo intense i literally had my little portable fan on all day! I had to swap the batteries i was using it so much but i couldnt walk around without it. Took loads of photos alot of them with the characters. I was so excited to meet the characters, i ran over to winnie the pooh and gave him a hug and was casually standing with my arm round minnie for ages. Almost stood on a small child at one point so obviously need to CALM DOWN! We went on my favourite ride rock 'n' rollacoaster twice which was amazing! I was so prepared with pack lunch, spare sun cream, a hat i felt so proud ha. I had a grilled veggi sandwich and chips for dinner which was actually really nice. Absolutly nakard when i got back! So collapsed in bed.

Day three...

I was stressing today cuz i didnt know if they were going to accept my hair cuz its very yellow. Turns out they hardly even looked at it and probably would have accepted it if i hadnt even changed it! We had loads of boring presentations about safetly and the history of Disney and then were taken into the Magic Kingdom to observe something i cant remember cuz i wasnt listening. It was so nice seeing it for the first time since being here its amazing and now weve got our id's so we can get in all the parks for free. It so so so hot tho so i dont know how ill manage to be out in the heat for longer that 10 minutes! The guy next to me literally had sweat pouring off him! That nite i stayed in cuz i already had a headache from 2 minutes in the sun haha and just wanted to chill.

Day two...



Abit of paperwork in the morning and i found out id be working in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! How cute! Where you make little girls into Disney princesses, and i get to wear a big pink dress cuz im supposed to be one of the fairy godmothers haha! Im glad cuz a stupid outfit is part of the disney experience! Spent the rest of the day in the pool before going home to dye my hair!! Decided the hairdressers was too expensive so got my flatmate Marianne to do it. Slight issue...it turned out bright yellow and orange when wet! Oh well at least its all one colour now and hopefully it will fade abit. We headed to Downtown Disney in the night so i got to check out where id be working. Its such a cute little place and in the middle of World of Disney which has such nice Disney jewellery and i know ill be spending all my wages! I got a cinnimun bagel yum!! and frozen lemonade before going to the cinema to watch Bridesmaids

Day one...





So im all settled in now, living with one english girl and two girls from Thai- Won. Theyre all really nice and one of the girls from Thai- Won gave us presents that were meant to bring people luck which was really sweet. We spent most the day today in this giant lecture thing filling out paperwork which wasnt fun. I found out though im going to be working in Downtown Disney which im excited about cuz its got loads of bars and entertainment around it and its the only Disney park i dont really remember going to. I also got told i needed to dye my hair which i was abit anoyed about cuz although my hair was two different shades it looked natural and the hairdressers was expensive. We went for an all you can eat buffet for dinner. The food was really nice but for me was mostly bread, potatoes, beans and the occasional spring roll.

On my way...

Up at 4 am!!! So tired but for some reason i think going to the airport with a pack lunch is a fun day out. I hate flying and the stupid flight attendant gave me the wrong meal so that put me in a bad mood! I wasnt impressed with the meals which is weird cuz i love plane food! changing flights at Boston was so stressful cuz i didnt realise how big the airport was so ended up running through with my giant hand luggage bag. When we landed in Orlando i could hardly move with my two bloody suitcases and wish i could of fitted my stuff in one! Made friends staright away which was really good and my room mate is really nice and also brough two suitcases so we obvsiously have alot in common! We were worried about wardrobe space tho! A group of us went for our first meal to a steak house! I had the awkward moment where i had to tell them i was veggi but they were fine and thought it was funny id come anyway. Ended up having mozarella sticks cuz apparently america hates vegetarians! so was basically an expensive mcdonalds.
