Heather goes to Disney World!


Hi everyone! Sorry it's taken forever to get this blog written, but uh, yeah, its been an interesting week. The day I checked in to my apartment (well, my temporary apartment) was a day from Hell, so I wasn't able to focus on a lot of stuff but what I needed to get done that day. On the second day, I got my 'role' as a Cast Member in Disney World- I'm working at a restaurant in the Animal Kingdom Lodge in the Animal Kingdom. I don't start my training until Sunday, so I've been playing the past couple of days. On Wednesday after my Traditions class, I went to the Magic Kingdom for the first time and I rode the newly vamped Pirates of the Caribbean ride with my favorite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow! It pretty much made my night to see him on that ride. Of course, it would have been better to see him in person, but I've got four months to get my chance to see him in character walking around the parks. As you can see, I found a pair of Mickey ears that fit me perfectly. They say "Pirate Princess" on the pink sash and they have a small earring hanging from the left ear. On the back of the hat, I had my name embroidered there, so my hat has been personalized too! It's been really fun checking out all the fun stuff in the parks. After riding POTC, my roomies and I went on the Haunted Mansion ride (it was ok) and Space Mountain (it ROCKED!). Today I played some more in the Magic Kingdom with my cousin Dayna and her husband Nate. Dayna and I went on POTC again, partly because she is as crazy about Pirates as me and I couldn't think of a better person to go on that ride again with than her. Then we met up with Nate and rode Splash Mountain and then the Buzz Lightyear ride. Tomorrow, I'm planning on going to Fantasmic with her in the evening at Hollywood Studios. I am so excited! In the morning, I'm going to a little shopping in Downtown Disney with my roommate Diane and then we'll probably make a Walmart run eventually. Anywho, now its off to bed!
