Disney Dream Suite!

Yesterday I went on a tour of the Disney Dream Suite. It is located above the attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean. First we went up the elevator that was made out of 6 different woods and was beautiful. I thought that if the elevator is this beautiful then the suite is just going to get better. Next we walked into the main hallway. It had original paintings of what the suite was going to look like. They did really well at  staying pretty close to what the paintings were. Then we went into Walt and Lilly's bedroom. It was themed to Adventure land. It was beautiful. It had drapes on the bed frame, an amazing light piece over the bed and the best thing of all was the goodnight kiss button. It started off with music of the jungles. Then the lights dimmed and the painting on the wall above the bed turned into Peter Pan's mermaid lagoon with the sounds of the waterfall. Then on the wall next to it the moon came out with the ship at the end of Peter Pan as they sail home. It was so magical feeling that i had goose bumps all over my body. The amazing bathroom that went with it had a huge bathtub with an archway above it. She pushed a button and music came on and in the archway, stars appeared and a hidden Mickey was in the stars. I would be in that tub for hours just watching the stars. Then we went into the front room facing the waters of America. It had paintings of the Chateau and Castle that inspired Walt for Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland. Then the carpet on the floor had hidden Mickey's all over it. And of course there had to be some magic in the room. So she pushed the button and the clock struck 12 and Cinderella appeared on the clock and across the room her glass slipper lit up and some of the figures in the room started dancing. The next magic button was to tell the guests of when Fantasmic was on. Geppetto and the cat appear on the clock and the music is When You Wish Upon A Star. The last magic button was to wake the guests up in the morning. The Tiki birds appeared on the clock and sang their song, The Tiki Room. The last bedroom was the kids bedroom. It was themed after Frontier land. And of course there was a goodnight kiss button. When she pushed it the train came out of it's box and went around the ceiling. Every time it went past a toy up there, it would move and make sounds like in the park. The bathroom, of course, was not as amazing as the parents room but it was very pretty. The last stop on our tour was the patio. The design outside was so cute. It had a fountain and hanging lamps and the Pirates of the Caribbean music playing. It was so relaxing. When I was near the  fountain I remembered that I had a penny in my pocket. Of course, I had to throw it in. Does it make it a really special wish when the fountain is in the Dream Suite?? I think so.

It was such a great experience to see the magic in action. It reaffirmed how much I love Disney. I can't wait to have more tours like that.

 

Nothing much..

Well my birthday was pretty good! My roommates and I went to Rainforest Cafe. It was pretty good except that the waiter was horrible. I got a package from my family that had a huge load of candy, balloons filled with gltter, the book I Am Number Four, 2 gift cards from Subway and Jamba Juice, a butterfly wand that lights up (which said "to our princess"), my sister's camera, and a couple of birthday cards. I was so excited to open it. I also got a package from my boyfriends mom. She got me shorts, a tank top, and a shirt. They fit and they are really cute. My best friend sent me a bracelet and a letter. I also bought myself TOMS shoes. I love them! They are so comfortable! I am waiting to get my package from Devin. I can't wait to get it.

On the 28th we went to Six Flags. It was a lot of fun but it was very intense. Every ride there was fast and very intense. We went on Superman and when we got off, I had a huge headache for the rest of the day. I called in to work the next 2 days because my headache wouldn't go away. No matter what I did, it still hurt. Well on the 13th I get to go on a tour of the Disney Dream Suite. I am really excited and they said that we could take pictures in certain areas. I will definitely take my camera with me.

No longer a teenager!

Today is my 20th birthday!! I am no longer a teenager. It doesn't feel any different and it will be weird to say that I am 20. Well today I got the day off and finally went to church and stayed through all the meetings. Then I came home to eat pulled pork and made the dressing from Cafe Rio. It was delicious!! I haven't gotten any of my packages but hopefully I will get them tomorrow. I am waiting for 5 packages: from my family, my boyfriends mom, my best friend Allysha, my boyfriend, and my TOMS shoes that I bought for myself. I can't to see what I get. Then on Tuesday we get to go to Six Flags. I am so excited to ride some roller coasters!! It's kind of like a birthday present to me!! I will be taking lots of pictures and I will post them.

Only 66 days left til he gets home!!!!

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.
