Is this thing on??? check, check!
I have been meaning to get here for over a month, amazing how life keeps a person busy despite their efforts to be lazy. Work is going well. I can’t even believe it but Toy Story Midway Mania will be turning 2 in May. How time has flown by!
Today I gave the park tour for my On With The Show Class. This has to be my most favorite thing to do. Today was one of the best, I had a good friend as my partner, lets just say even though he portrays someone from the Dark Side of the Force, the force was strong with us both. It really seemed that the new cast members were enjoying their time with us. I think they really did feel that they were now part of a family! The family of cast members at Disneys Hollywood Studios.
One of my favorite things to tell them is “You know when someone says you are soooo Disney!” you know exactly what that person is like. And I told them I am very, very proud to be “Disney”. And there really can’t be anything better in this world then having a job where the only thing I have to do is make people happy.
I have a new goal that hopefully I will get the opportunity to audition for this spring, and that would to be a Traditions Facilitator. Traditions is a class taught at Disney University , and it is the class that every cast member must attend before they start work anywhere on property. I had tried out for it years and years ago, long before Dream Squad, and it was pretty clear that I had no business trying out for it with what little experience I had. But now I have so many stories, and so much to say to all these new cast members. Not sure if I will be able to get this or not but it will be well worth the adventure trying.
My family are all well, can not even believe it but my son will be going to Japan in just a few months for his long overdue honeymoon with the Princess. I am beyond excited for them. How wonderful that they will get to do something that I dare not even dream about for myself. This will be be a trip of a lifetime for sure!
I miss my Mom just about every single day. Even though my pet peeve was her saturday 6 am calls that never failed to wake us up. I wish I could hear her voice once more. The only good thing that has come out of this is that my sister and I are getting closer. That is long overdue.
So my friends I promise for those of you still brave enough to come to this site, I will try to visit more often.
