Tuesday
I finally got around to getting pins today and it has made everything so much more fun! I can only really wear them when tasking or on exits but for example tuesday I got a boring exit for 2 hours but had cute kids come up and pin trade with me and it was fun! A little boy gave me 3 cute cupcakes ones! And on break another CP gave me her teapot but the minute I stepped on stage a woman came up to me and traded it damn! Good ones go fast!
But its fun and you can 'refresh' them in the tunnels. Also I got my late (cos of crap buses!!) and did not clock out points (during training) sorted and removed as they were not my fault...everything round here is done in a stupid automated way.
So I was in a good mood and had lots of people come up to me saying they loved my accent in the last few days! I also spent time chatting with guest relations who'd been here 33 years crazy! And a part time girl from Florida who'd NEVER seen snow isnt that mad! And I was done at 9.30 which is so nice so got time to go and play. At the moment at work I'm having AT LEAST one choc bar a day which is so bad, and espesh now ive discovered the vending machine takes card!! oops. The mousekateria takes the whole break just to get to though and the backstage bistro is always closed by 5pm, not good for night shifts.
Only got dreaded turnstiles and got maps for the only time so far which i love cos you can move around and pin trade plus i enjoy tidying haha so good shift!
So when i got off I got a caseys corner chicago dog and was ok but all the toppings fell on my lap it was so big! fries were good though and they have melted cheese on tap!! Then I went on Splash mountain (first time it hasnt rained as ive gotten off) nd Thunder twice! was gonna try all the mountains but didnt want to run over to Space! Then i watched electric parade and treated myself to a baby cuddly Eeyore and a choc pineapple spear I havent eaten yet and bought Jules a pretzel treat as she has been under the weather.
Stupid guest things: 1 guest told me she couldnt use her finger because she didnt have a spleen.... and some guests tried to use mickey luggage tags as tickets LOL 'Erm sir, i think they're luggage tags....'
A lot of time guests are too sweaty to fingerprint so I say please wipe your finger in case of suntan lotion= 'youre too sweaty...' haha. And finally a cute lil boy hurt his armpit somehow on the turnstile cos he was too excited so i said here's a mickey sticker itll make it better and he stuck it under his arm bless! so i gave him another and he put it under the other one lol so I gave him a third and put it in the middle on his chest so he had 3 in a row, his mum laughed loads!
Wednesday
Longest shift so far ...9 hours as i got extended again, lame.
Thursday
I had to be up early to go to AK for Katy's birthday so was very tired. We got there at 9.30 and got a FP for the safari then went on the rapids, fun! Then did Everest single rider, and got a FP which i didnt have time to use...Everest wasnt as fun as I remember.The safari was awesome though we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, monkeys, loads of things and I was on the edge so they were so close.
Finally we saw the Lion King show, was awesome, gymnastics and aerial stuff! All this in less than 3 hours, and all we missed out was Dinosaur and some magic mouse type coaster, so will have to go back for another morning.

For lunch we cooked breaded shrimp and salad for lunch, then ran for the bus as usual! (daily workout...)
Only had 6 hours today, luxury, and today was my friday! (i.e. my fifth working day, fri and sat = my weekend)
Was kinda sad because one of the lovely girls Julia was leaving for a different area...entertainment...mouse height ..... yeah and ill miss her! But we are hopefully going to the cinema soon.
Disney is an interesting job. A lovely or happy/excited guest or cute kid is the best thing ever and makes your day but one rude guest throws you off for the day i.e. when i started today within the first minute a guest was like 'thats such an annoying accent' when I said goodbye, (in her really annoying accent!!) so even though 100 guests said they loved my accent later that day, that one snotty teenager stayed with me for the whole shift grrr.
I hit Caseys corner again and got corn dog nuggets, nice but feel a bit sick after a whole portion! So I just did Monsters inc laugh floor, was good! Then I saw Jen at Emporium and did some shopping while i waited for her to finish, and the guy at the counter wrote his number on the receipt! But then he forgot to put my postcard in, idiot. So I have to buy another now.
I haven't been home for bed before 1am for as long as I can remember!
Friday
Today I got up at 7 and headed out to UNIVERSAL take 2 (woop!) with Gio as we both had the day off. We got a Lynx bus from premium outlets for $2 and after 20 minutes walk we made it, only took an hour and we headed for the Studios Park and right on Rip Ride Rockit woop! Was a lot better than I expected! The restraint didnt feel very safe it was like a giant french frie! (is that the singular?) We had Daft Punk Harder Better Faster Sronger :D
My playsuit fell down as we went over the top ha! Then I realised you can buy a video....awkward.
Then we went Transformers ride! I wasn't expecting it to be good as its just ANOTHER simulator ride (hello Spiderman, Simpsons, HP, Despicable Me...) and the first half was just like Spiderman...avoiding debris as a robot destroys the city....but the second half was actually really good and it was quite long. Then we went on the Mummy twice YAY love that ride (second time on the front). Halfway through the queue I got air blown up my playsuit so everyone saw my pants and all the girls behind found it hilarious as I screamed! I saw next time it is controlled by guests behind you in the queue so stayed away the second time, not successful for a playsuit day...
Then we popped to guest relations and booked dinner at Mythos through a nice english lady for 6.30 and headed to Monsters cafe for some quick service. Got the most random kid meal for $6 it was mac and cheese nuggets, weird! came with carrot sticks and grapes and Gio gave me his broccoli healthy! Then after lunch we did Shrek 4D, was ok.
Then we headed for Islands of Adventure where our hot lush weather ended and we messed up as this park basically all closes down in rain and lightning!! We ended up sat having a coke for ages to waste time then popped to Hogsmeade and saw some dancers with ribbons being the 'beausxbatons' and durmstrang students but didnt stay long as the announcer had the most awful fake english accent!
Little girls face is brill; 
We were quite wet so i was glad my river island bag was a Mary poppins bag that managed to fit in a change of clothes for dinner!
Then Gio made me go on the Cat in the Hat kiddy ride, quite spinny and trippy!
Then it was dinner time at Mythos, apparently voted best theme park restaurant in Orlando although im not sure it tops all of Disney's. It was themed like an underwater cavern! I got Pad Thai which was good but wanted Gio's salmon and wasabi mash (family lets go!!) and we got bread to start with universal shaped butter and then to finish got dessert shots- i got coconut cream yum! was all less than $20 too!!
Mac n cheese nugget
Then on a full stomach we headed for HULK woo!! and i forgot how much i love it had such a smile on my face, awesome! Though Gio wouldn't let us queue for front row... i hate not being able to see, we had a laugh at the 'guests with certain dimensions' sign for the modified seating rows!! Gio said later a woman with a huggggge butt next to us in the queue gave me evils hehe oops.
Then I went on Dr Doom's Fear Fall alone as Gio didnt want to and was let on FP queue (well, express pass... you have to pay $100 to get this here!)
It was funnnn! So much anticipation my heart was beating like crazy but wasnt scary after first couple of seconds!
Finally park closed at 9 so we ran back to Dueling Dragons and went on the Fire side, and I took my sandals off, so much more fun with feet dangling free!
Studios park closed at 10pm so we had time for one last ride so I did Rip Ride again alone in single rider and Gio went to the fireworks... I got on just after park close, awesome in the dark its all lit up, and chose Evanescence Bring me to life woo! Sat next to a 13 yr old guy from Texas who I spoke to in the queue and he lost his phone on the ride oh dear! We were right on the back too which wasn't as fun as its faster, my head got pushed back.
On the way out i popped to the minion shop and got some awesome PJ bottoms haha think I need more minion merch!! And we got a taxi home cos we didnt want to cross roads in the dark and feet hurt, was $15 each not too bad... Great day!! And was actually home by 11.30, crazy!
