Wrapping Up Week Two

I've been here for almost two weeks now and have a new meaning to the word exhausted. Exhausted as a Disney guest and exhausted as a Disney cast member are two totally different things.
Exhausted taking on a whole new meaning today.

This week I had training all week for The Seas with Nemo and Friends. I cannot tell you how ecstatic I was to learn that I would be working in The Seas. I am a huge Nemo fan, so to spend my days with Nemo, Crush and Dory is just prime. My favorite part, so far, of working The Seas is working Turtle Talk with Crush. If you haven't seen this show I highly recommend it! Its an interactive show with non other than Crush the turtle. Its very adorable, and so much fun. Seeing little kids faces when they get the chance to ask Crush a question is just priceless. Definitely my favorite part of the day. Other than that I work the ride. Don't ya feel safe? Ride ops is in MY control :) Its a blast and I work with some pretty awesome people. Not to mention that I am in a giant aquarium all day long!

After doing my fist Turtle Talk show I was able to meet Crush. I'll leave some things to your imagination, so I wont tell you how the show works but I will tell you that Crush is the coolest dude I have ever been able to meet. His actual personality and the turtles personality are so compatible that its comical. While I was talking to him he couldn't get over how much I look like Julia Roberts. It wasn't like he said it once either. He would change the subject and then find himself starring at me and would have to bring it back up. From now on, ill be known as Julia to Crush.

Other than work, there has been little play time. I like to enjoy my days off in my bed. Especially if its raining, I just don't feel the need to run around the parks. I have four months to do that, so ill save it for the good days :) We are supposed to be back in the 80's this weekend, so I'm hoping to catch some rays on my next day off. Otherwise, going to play in Epcot tomorrow night with my roommate who works in Epcot also! We both get off work at the same time, so we've opted to stay and see fireworks since we have yet to play in the park that we work in.

Until something interesting happens again... Do something, anything, but make a difference... and #doitforCJ.

"What do you actually do all day?!"

No matter who I talk to at home I get the same question... "What do you actually do all day?!" Before I left all anyone knew was that I was working at an attraction, which seems self explanatory. You would think that saying "I work at The Seas with Nemo and Friends would be a sufficient answer, that someone would piece together that there is a ride there and that I help to operate the ride all day long. But, it isn't that simple. Bear with me here, all my "Nemo terms" are going to have to be explained so this post could end up being rather lengthy, which is not my intention. Here we go, a day in the life.... (my first official day, on my own) Woke up at 7am to be ready for a 7:40 bus. Should I have been up earlier? Yes. Did the previous days 5:15am wake up call keep me in bed longer than I wanted? Yes. But, made the bus. Take the bus to Epcot Cast Center (backstage Epcot - anything that guests can see is considered on stage, so everything you cant see/ge...

Kids peeing in bushes, Make A Wish, and adorable little kids.

Another week at The Seas has come and gone, which brings me one week closer to being home on the couch with my puppy. I challenge anyone to try and come between me and Budweiser, it won't happen. This week was full of adorable little kids, and not so adorable older little kids. In a turtle talk show this week, Crush asked a little girl where she was from (meaning where do you live) and out of the most adorable, probably 3 year old, mouth came "mommy and daddy". Wise beyond her years ;) Hysterical laughing overtook the theater that day. And in another not hysterically funny moment I had to ask a family to not allow their 7 year old son to "go" in the bushes. I wish I was lying, and I honestly wish he would have been more discrete about the situation so I wouldn't have had to address it. But no, this little boy stood on a ledge probably 4ft high, pulled down his pants and took care of business relieving himself. I don't understand people. On another ...
