Lots of work...

Well work has been pretty busy this last weekend. I haven't seen the park this crowded before. One reason why it was so packed was because it was nationals for cheerleading this last weekend. And there were SO many cheerleaders everywhere! It was insane! On Saturday, I worked in the farm area where they have The World Of Color and there were so many people you couldn't even walk through them. They were this massive group that wouldn't move. I hope that today will be much better and have less people. But now that I think of it, it could be crowded because it is Monday, Family Night.
Well nothing much has happened here. In 20 days I will be 20 and the 29th we get to go to Six Flags. So it's kind of a birthday present to me.  I also got a letter from Devin last week. He will be coming home on June 1st! Time has flown by so fast! I can't wait to hear from him!

Rainy Weekend

Well yesterday I worked Downtown Disney from 3:30-12. The weather reports said that it was going to rain. So I am walking to the bus stop to go to work. And guess what it decides to do? Downpour! When I got to the costuming building, there was so many people going in to get their rain gear. I saw 2 of my roommates doing the same thing. When I get to the area lockers to start work, the rain has decided to slow down. After a couple of hours the rain is just coming down hard. My pants are getting soaked. And to make things worse, my pants are white and a little see through. So I finally decide to go to the lockers and grab the rain pants. I feel really stupid wearing them because now I look like a banana. At least they keep me from getting me even more wet then I already am. So the whole time I am at work, it keeps raining. Today was a little better but it still was raining really bad on and off. I didn't have to look like a full banana, just the big yellow coat.
The one thing that was sort of exciting while I was working today was when I was helping my lead vacuum up water at the main entrance, someone told me that some ladies were yelling at each other and to get security. So I went to ask for someone to call security. I didn't get to see the security get there so I wonder what happened.
Well my mom texted me and told me that I had gotten a letter from Devin. I'm excited but I have to wait til my mom can mail it on Monday and then wait until it gets here to read it.

First week of work

Sunday was my first day of work without my trainer telling me what to do. For my first day of work I got put to sweeping in DTD (Downtown Disney). I liked it but it doesn't have the same feeling like working in the park. It felt like a regular day at work just sweeping this outdoor mall. The next day I got put on the pier sweeping from Toy story mania to the fun wheel. It was a lot of fun! The funny thing while I was working was that there are little birds all over the place. Every time I went to go pick up something, there would be a bird and he would take my trash away. I also knew where all the food on the ground was because there was always a bunch of birds on the ground. Tomorrow will be another undistributed day so I won't know what area I will be in until I clock in for work.

Training Week

This week was my training week. On Tuesday we met our trainer, Amber. She is so funny! We toured around DCA (everyone calls Disney California Adventure DCA and also Disneyland is DL) the whole day and found the area lockers for each area of the park. On Wednesday we did another tour just to make sure we knew where every area locker was. We also got the chance to clean up fake vomit aka code v. I did good with that because I knew that it wasn't vomit. Today Amber decides to choose me for the first code v. I was not excited at all to go do it. We went over to Grizzly Bear River and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The vomit was very small and we use this chemical that gets rid of the smell. So I was glad for that. Tomorrow is my last day of training and then I am on my own. I'm a little scared to be doing everything I learned. I hope I can remember everything that I have learned.

California Adventure!

We finally got our IDs yesterday! We were so excited that we wanted to go into one of the parks. We decided to go into Disney California Adventure. The first ride we went on was the Tower of Terror. I was so excited to get on it. I didn't remember how much adrenaline you get from that ride. Then we went over to Toy Story Mania. I had never been on it before so I didn't know what it would be like. My roommate, India, sat next to me and she said she had been on it before and was going to beat me. Well......I was the one who beat her. My score was 131,500 and hers was around 116,000. I was so proud of myself for doing so well for my first time. Then we wanted to get on California Screamin'. I was so excited to go on it because it's my favorite attraction in California Adventure.     
Since we had our Traditions class yesterday, we don't have anything until Sunday. So today we are going to go into Disneyland and play for the day. I'm really excited for that.

Since I'm here, I will tell you what Disney has coming up. They are building a new land in California Adventure called Cars Land. That will be finished in 2012. Another thing for California Adventure is a Little Mermaid attraction that will be done in April or May of this year. Since I'm a cast member I get to have a preview of The Little Mermaid attraction when it is done. They are also changing the front gate entrance to California Adventure. They are getting rid of the California sign and the Golden Gate bridge to put in the new entrance gate.

The Adventure Begins

Well on Sunday I got checked in at Carnegie Plaza where my apartment is at. I was really nervous at first but I got over it after a while. My apartment has 5 girls; 3 from Arizona, 1 from California and me. Today we had orientation and took our photos for our IDs. That means that we can go to Disneyland tomorrow! I'm so excited for that! Also tomorrow we have Traditions which is the same thing as learning about Disney. We have to be there at 7:30. I am not excited to wake up early. That will last for like 8 hours but the good thing is that we get paid and also get a tour of the parks.
After we had our orientation me and 2 of my roommates didn't want to stay in our apartment because we didn't know what to do. So we decided to go on the bus and find the nearest mall. We got the directions to  the Block mall. Then we got done with that pretty early and wanted to do something else. So we decided to take the bus all the way down to Newport Beach. It was perfect timing because we got there at sunset and the view was amazing. The water was really cold but I had never been there so it was really beautiful. Now I am just going to get ready for our big day tomorrow. :)

California in 20 days!!

Well I will be leaving for California probably on the 21st. I'm not sure. I have been getting so excited! I have gotten a couple of things together like some pictures and stuff I need when I'm down there. Before I go, I have to get my wisdom teeth out. Ugh! Not looking forward to that. I get that done on Friday and then I can start to really pack for California. One of the good things about the apartment I'm going to be in is that it is fully furnished. All I have to bring is my own towels and sheets. I'm really glad that we will have a washer and dryer too. About a month ago I found out 2 of my roommates. They are both from Mesa, Arizona and they are my age. Tiffany is going to be a busser in a restaurant and Jordan is going to be a janitor just like me!


I will try to keep up with my blog when I'm down there. I want to tell you everything that goes on!
