I suppose I'll just have to marry an American...
Cause after today, I never want to come home. How can I possibly work anywhere else? Any other job is going to blow like no tomorrow. If the only way Disney will let me stay is if I'm American then I'm going to have to go about getting my citizenship the old fashioned way, marrying an American.Before I tell you about my fabulous job I shall tell you what I did yesterday, then we can delve into the other stuff.
So yesterday afternoon I headed off to MK with Shayna, Shanan and Kev. First we had to stop at Vista Credit Union which is on the way at Disney University. So we got off our bus and walked over to the bank so the three of them could deal with their money things. I haven't been here long enough to need to cash a paycheck and I don't have a bank account yet. So after we finished there we walked back over to the bus stop intending to catch the VIP Castmember bus that takes you to the entrance of the tunnels so we could get in the park. Apparently people do this all the time, no big deal. We happened upon the worst security guard in the world though. When he asked Shayna if she was working she said no and he was like 'you can't go on this bus then.' Which was bull, people do it all the time. MK cast have to take the bus to get to their employment bases to pick up paychecks and stuff. They have to let you over there. It was just stupid. He was going on about us falling and breaking our ankles and suing disney, which none of us would ever do. It wasn't a really big deal to me but everyone else was very angry.
Finally another one of 'our' buses came and the very kind bus driver dropped us of at the TTC even though it wasn't on his route. We made it into the parks about 1-2 hours after we had planned.
In the parks we went and watched Mickey's Philharmagic which was very good. After that we walked over to Frontierland and had an early dinner at Peco's Bills. Then we wondered around the pirate store for awhile, looking at the Pirates of the Caribbean doors in awe. Only a few more weeks!!! It seemed for a minute there that Shanan was going to try and break in, but in the end she did not, thank god.
After we finished there it was nearing time for Kevin to leave as he had to work. We said our farewells then headed over to Splash Mountain. It was so hot out there that standing in line for over an hour just to get on the ride seemed alright. We just wanted to get splashed. And we did. It cooled us off for maybe five minutes, then we were completely dry again.
When we had arrived we'd gone over to Space Mountain and grabbed some fastpasses. It was time to use them when we stepped off Splash so we headed to Tomorrowland. On the way we grabbed some Pineapple Dole Whips (pineapple soft serve ice cream) which were amazingly yummy. When we got to Space Mnt. a guy Shayna and Shanan knew was working the FP line so he gave us a couple tickets that would get us all on two more times. So in the end we rode Space three times. It was fantastic each and every time. When we were done at Space we went to Fantasy Land and rode Snow White, then over to Haunted Mansion, then the Jungle Cruise where we had an awesomely hilarious 'guide'. After that we went back to Adventureland and rode Aladdin's Flying Carpets. One of the big stone camels spit in my ear, I fear I may get an infection as it's been hurting ever since.
It was about ten after the carpets so I said farewell to the girls and headed home. I wanted to beat the Wishes (fireworks show) crowd and get home early and go to bed. I got home and went to sleep.
This morning I began work at the Rockin' Roller Coaster. I woke up forty five minutes before my alarm cause I was so nervous/excited. I got ready, put on my snazzy uniform and headed to the bus. When I got there I found another girl from my arrival group who was training with me. Her name is Claire. Together we waited 'til our appointed trainer, BJ, arrived at 10:15. When he showed up he was accompanied by Josh who was job shadowing him because he is training to be a trainer. So together those two were training us, still are for the next four shifts. Two very nice guys. We walked over to the RRC break room and put our stuff in a cubby then signed in and began our day. First we got a little tour of Sunset Boulevard, then we went to the ride. We got in at the fastpass line and got to ride the ride. It was pretty cool. After that they walked us through the place. We toured all the areas we were allowed in and took a look at the various positions. Then we had a break, then we went back and did another little tour. Then we walked to Take 5 for lunch. After lunch we came back and did more walking around....I can't remember all that we did as it was a long day and it all seems to blend together more. We did get to go in the little recording studio that people look into during the preshow and pretend to be part of the show. It was really cool to go in there. After that we may have taken another break, then we had a little welcome talk with one of the managers. Then we got to hang out in the launch pad for an hour. I got to press the start button a ton of times....it was cool. I was controlling the coaster! Kind of. LOL. It was fun. After that we spent about a half hour outside greeting people and then we were off.
I know I condensed alot of that but it's really hard to remember exactly what I did. I do know it was a ton of fun and I can't wait to go back. It's going to be an amazing summer, I can tell. I never want to come home. And we get really cool jackets to wear inside, although the one I picked up in uncomfy so I'm going to get a different one tomorrow. I have to go to bed now cause I have to catch a bus at 5:30 a.m. so I'm off. I'll write more later.

I hate you. Well, no, I don't hate you. Just that you have a better job than me.
Grr.
