Live chickens are more fresh - did you know that?

So not too much new. I made a friend named Daniel, he is from China. I work with him - I am normally dispatching and he is normally greeter! He is awsome. A couple days ago he was teaching me Manderian(thats not spelt right, but you get the jist) and I asked him about Chinese food. I told he that he would cook for me one day - kind of rude I know but he didn't seem to mind :). Then today I worked 8:00 till 4:30 and he worked 9:00 till 5:30 and so I asked him what he was doing tonight and he said nothing so I told him that I was going to come over for dinner! which again rude but he was fine with it. So today he made me chinese food and I asked him loads about China and asia in general. So now when I visit him in Shanghai he will show me around :)
Also I haven't told you about my friend Galo - he is from ecuador. When I go there he will be there to show me around quito and the will take me to the galapagos! yay I have tour guides all over the world now!
There was a pool party last night that I went to I met the queen from snow white and Cruella de vil was there but i didn't meet her :( and the picture blows so I won't post it. Anyways I hope all is well.
Love you!

Imagine working full time and then going to Disney for the weekend... Exhaustion

Last night I was up till late ( I don't really remember what time) then I needed to be up at 7:30 to get to the opening of Magic Kingdom. So I saw the Opening show at magic kingdom. That was cool I was really inpressed with how in sync all the dancers were with each other and it was just really cool to start the day off with. Attila ( my friend) had never been Peter Pan so we went to that ride first, then we went on small world since it was right next to Peter Pan. Then I met a friend and we went on Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates and then we got fast passes for splash mountain and we went on this other ride (I would tell you but I can't spell) Then the rain came, but only for a little while (30 minutes) and then lunch. Then we headed to hollywood studios and that was cool.
Attila works on Toy Story midway mania, so we went on that ride. It was sweet I got 97,000 points it was awsome.
Then I got tired and now i'm home.
You think being on Disney vacation is tiring - i'm working 40 hours a week and then doing a regular disney day in the parks I'm pooped.
Hope your all well

Also New Arrivals Are Coming In Today ( I wrote the title after the blog was finished)

So there isn't really anything to important to say but I though I would say them now so that I don't forget in a later blog. So for the last couple of days I have worked at 2:00 till 10:30 so I get up at round 9:00 talk to sean, make breakfast. Then the day before yesterday I cleaned the bathrooms and took out the garbage and yesterday I had a shower. Then I make my lunch and head off to work. Wahoo! loads of fun right - I know.
So not yesterday but the day before I was just working in my little booth - like everyday. This man came up to me and he was covered in tattoos. I was like cool whatever - then I noticed on is fingers - you know thoses spaces between the knuckles - he had a mickey mouse head, but I couldn't tell what the rest were but he had eight on each hand and two hands full. Again I was like whatever, cool this guy likes mickey he is in the right place. He brought his arm up onto the counter and guess who I saw - Walt Disney. Now I'm like Hmmmmm are you crazy? so I look closer at his knuckles and every single one is a disney character's face another mickey, minne, donald duck, daisy duck, goofy, stitch - I think I saw a tinkerbell. I have no idea what this guy asked me and no idea what i told him but by this time he was starting to walk away and so I didn't really see if all the other tattoos were disney, but thats still alot of disney - even for me!
Also I finished Tuck Everlasting, so because I really wanted to see the movie I ordered it off Wal-mart and it is going to be shipped my Wal-mart down here! yay That will be exciting!
Finally I saw something really cool on the way to work yesterday. We were driving into Fort wilderness and because of the rain it looks like a big swamp. So in this big swamp, I saw a Turtle! It was like a really big one it was jut walking along like nothing else it was so cool!
Anyways those are the little things that I thought I could share with you now instead of later!

I'm sorry sir, for yours and our bellmen's saftey we cannot take the pargos out in the lightning

Wow, How come no body told me that florida is the lightning captial of the world when y'all were shipping me down here? Well the good that comes out of this massive amount of lightning is that now at home I'll never be afraid! Have you ever heard immediate thunder - I have, it vibrates your rib cage it is awful! Anyways no back to our scheduled programing... My life at disney!
On Friday I worked 9:00am - 5:30pm the entrie time that I work the weather was terrible and there was loads of thunder and lightning, haha one of my friends was standing toward me and I was facing outside and then there was fork lightning went right on his head hahahaha it was funny!
Oh ya and on Friday we had the President of Walt Disney Resorts (worldwide) stay at Saratoga! We are luanching the new treehouse villas - which yaou should know if you read my earlier posts - and we are doing testing days and so a lot of important people came to stay at the villas yesterday but he was the most important.
So the weather was crap but then at about 5 it started getting nicer and then when I was off I went home and I went to downtown disney for awhile.
I haven't been to this one before but all I have to say (sorry if I've already said this in my blog but it is so true) My heart belongs in Califorina. The Downtown disney here is just not quite the same as it is in Cali. Don't get me wrong there is tonnes of cool stuff here that isn't in Cali but of man I love califonia.
So then we had decided to go to see the fireworks from the Polynesian - one of the hotels across bay lake, nice view of the fireworks. My friend looks at his watch and apperently it was almost 9:30 and the fireworks started at 10:00 so we bolted to the bus only to discover that it was in fact 8:30 and we had an hour and a half to get to the Polynesian. so we decided to go to the magic kingdom for awhile and then head over to the Poly. But we forgot about the parade that is on right before the fireworks, we ended up getting to splash mountain at 9:30ish and so there was no way we could make it back to the Poly for the fire works so we chilled at the castle area for the fireworks and then went to the Poly.
Okay so the Polynesian is a hotel based on Hawaii - now I just saw it at night but OH MY GOODNESS! freakin' Beautiful. There is a beach with Hammicks and a wonderful pool and trails all around with torches, I love it. For those who don't know, I am being kicked out of housing on July 31st, my plane leaves at 3:00 on the 1st, so I need to stay in a hotel so that I can have a place to put my stuff and sleep while I wait for the plane. I want to check out some of the other resorts first but I'm like 85% sure I'm stay at the Poly!
Yesterday was really boring I went swimming then to work Wahoo! Well My days off this week are Wednesday and thursday so I may not post till then because I work all the time and I mean if you want I could post that I went to work and then to sleep , but thats boring who wants to read that, so just a heads up maybe nothing until wedneday night.
I crazy miss you all and as of today I have 69 days left in this dream adventure!
Love from you favorite disney cast member,
Victoria

Social Security Appointment + Wal-mart+ Epcot+ Pool Party (moved away from the pool????)= a Happy Day

Today I had to be on the bus to the Social Secuirty office so that I could get a social security number at 6:15 in the morning! I went and that was really easy and then I came home and watched some Friends. Then I went to Wal-mart and I spend 70 dollars of groceries - I never want to go again!

Up to this point in the day the weather had been decent - it wasn't raining but it wasn't really sunny either. I decided that I would go to Epcot! I went on the next bus and I walked around the whole world - well you know the epcot world showcase. I took pretty pictures of all the pretty flowers. I then waited a whole hour for soarin' that was fun times by myself. Then I came home. But I was lucky the whole time I was out the sun was out and shining. It was a really pretty day.

I came home so that I could go to the Pool party that the apartment was throwing. I got ready to go and noticed people walking away from the pool. so I followed them to the new location for the party. There was free hot dogs and chips and smoothies and Ice cream. Also 50's (theme of the party) Minne and Goofy were there I took and picture with them!

Tomorrow I work at nine am and I am going to get ready to go to sleep so that I can do a good job while working tomorrow!

Love you Family

Nothing New

Today I went to work! woohoo right nope it was boring. except I almost got struck by lightning!
We are in the middle of a strom right now and well there is loads of lightning. so we are well right in the middle of Mother Natures tempertantum, when there is a huge flash from behind me and then a lond loud crash of thunder. I swear I felt something shake (maybe just me in terror) as this happened the phone rang so I was terrified answering the phone. ahhh the fond memories I shall have of my Florida summer!
I met a cool bus driver today - his name is Frankie. I was the only person on the bus all the way to work! He showed me a really cool detour so I could take a later bus to work and sleep an extra like hour it is cool, gunna try that out. Haha he called me Vicky and then said that he wouldn't call me that since he had an ex-girlfriend named that and she kept triing to talk to him even though she was dating someone else. That was cool :S.
Anywho boring day - must be up early tomorrow to see the Social Security People to get my social security Number and then I have the day off, but as I am lacking food and I get paid on thursdays I shall head to wal-mart to slove the lack of food problem. Then if weather pemits I will see the Epcot Flowers if not more friends (i can never get enough)
Love you ALL <3

Rain Rain Go Away...

COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY!
So it hasn't stopped raining in well it seems like forever ahhhhh! I really have no news I'm just terribly bored - I have no money (well you know! hee hee) and I mean I am Canadian and I unlike all the other tourist that I saw at Magic Kingdom do not melt at the sight of rain, but the castle loses a little magic in the rain I won't lie to you. My plan was to go check out the flower festival in epcot but I thought the flowers would be the same in the rain so I fled to he dry boringness of my bed! at least I have my friends! HAHAHA (i'm so funny<------ look I'm laughing at my own jokes in my own blog) F@?! it is boring here when it rains.
Tomorrow I work at Old Key West dispatching - last day of training. Can't wait for that, well actully I could - if it didn't come for like a week that would be nice because then I could go see the pretty flowers and go to Hollywood studios which I'm pumped to do since magic kingdom didn't quite meet my expections. Well my friends await :)
Will write tomorrow if the rain stops - highly unlikely (check the weather)

Work + Magic Kingdom (= sore feet!)

To be at work at 5:30 i had to catch the 4:30 bus. I got up at 3:45 and brushed my teeth I thought it was still early so I decided to take a sleep to be better prepared for the day so I reset my alarm for 4:00. When 4:00 came around, I guess I just turned I right off. So when I woke up at 5:00 I started freaking out. Thank goodness I have a job that requires me to call for a taxi about once and hour! I called the taxi as I was getting dressed and I ran across the property. (Taxis are not allowed on the property so they must wait at the security gate - I am the second buliding from the back gate) Thank god I ran the taxi arrived as I got to the gate. So instead of taking the free bus I had to pay 13.25 to get to work and the lame bus driver totally took the long way around - ass hole. I ended up at work at 5:15, my trainer didn't arrive until 5:35ish so I was so worried about getting there on time and my trainer was late. Other than that work was great - the crazy stroller lady called and my trainer handled it.
The deal was that we would send her two strollers from our store. and she freaked out because she spent $250 each on the strollers, and she didn't want our cheap strollers.
I had told my trainer that I hadn't been to magic kingdom, so she convinced me to go. So I got on the bus to go home and I went to the Magic Kingdom.

MAGIC KINGDOM
I tried to find someone to go with but no luck. I went alone. I got on the bus and I met some friends that were going to magic kingdom, then I realized that as much as I didn't want to go alone, but I figured that I didn't want to go with this group of people that already have a plan, I want to do what I want. Also they were going in thru the tunnels instead of the front gate and since it was my first time I really wanted to go thru the front gates, so despite finding people to go with I still went alone. I got off the bus and went over to the to the monorail! it went thru the contemporary and I got to the magic kingdom. I walked through the gate and I started crying
:(. I couldn't even look at the castle cause it made me cry worse. I walked right down the center of Main Street USA and stared at the castle. When I got to the center loop I sat at the castle for 10 minutes and just stared. Now my plan was was just to walk around and check things out. turns out it isn't as big as Disneyland and walking around got boring plus - family you know how bad I was upset about no 'its a small world' when I went to disneyland - so of course as soon as I saw it I went on 'its a small world'. It was good! in fact it was awesome! Then I went past the haunted mansion.
One of the girls that I met here is obsessed with the haunted mansion. Now I like the Haunted Mansion, but it was okay. She had never been to Disneyland and so I thought maybe there was something different and so I was like 'well I better go see what is so great about it'.
I got in to the line and I went into the stretching room then I went farther and the seats weren't moving. They got moving, I got on the ride. it stopped twice, while I was on the ride. The second time that I stopped I was backwards down the hill. ekkkk! It was the same as the one in California, but you know the girl at the end - way better in California.
So now at this point I've figured that I'm going on rides, I walked past Pirates ride and decided to go on that.
One of my roommates works on the Jungle cruise and then it was next to Pirates so I asked the people at the front if she was working and they took me right to the front of the 30 minute line. Wahoo! My roommate was on the boat, she did a wonderful job! That was great and so then I went back to Main Street USA and looked at all the shops.
Then I went to the Enchanted Tiki Room which is not as good as in Cali :(.
Then I waited for the parade - I videoed the parade and then watched the fire works! I then went home and I had the first good sleep!
Today is my Friday and Saturday becuase I've worked the last 4 days and I have tomorrow off but I then work on Tuesday. So I just have one day off. :(
Anyways all I should post pictures later!

Oh my god LOST!

So I just finished watching wednesday night's lost and well, I can't really get my mind off of it but I will try.
My morning started off badly. I started at 7:00 am, at about 9:00am this women came up to me and asked where her strollers were. I had no idea where they were, How would I know? I took her to the luggage room to see if someone had put them in the room. They weren't there, so she asked me where they could be. I told her that maybe the magical express had taken them thinking that they belonged to someone else. Then she started asking me what she should do. I have no idea, she left them out in the open. She started getting angry at other people yelling that she had told me that she would be back, when I never heard this. She then said "Victoria, told me that my strollers were on the magical express" I NEVER SAID THIS! I told her "No, I didn't say that, what I said was the strollers MAYBE on the bus" so that really started my day off badly, but I got over it pretty quickly. I felt pretty good that it didn't really effect me so much as cranky people normally do.
But after that I got to go to Kadani Village and Animal Kingdom Lodge. That was AWESOME! yay! So was my day :)
I hope that you are all well!
<3

Not a happy camper!

I had to get up at 5:30 for the second day in a row, my day already sucks! I go down to the bus and I was planning to catch the 6:38 bus, ya not. It was 20 minutes late (which at 5:30, 20 minutes of sleep whould have been nice) and I was the last stop. So I get to work and the whole system was down so I didn't learn how anything that I couldn't have done otherwise like ordering runs by paper. So wahoo waste of training day.
Lunch was good I go to see the treehouse villas and that was so cool. They are sweeet! They are little octagons that have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 2 nice TV's. ya they are nicce! They used to be the apartments that International College Program. I would have lived there, but they have changed them into a resort :(. I heard that someone who had stayed in the apartments woke up with a scorpion in her bed. Ekkkk!
I went back to work and had a goodish time, then as soon as my shift was over I went straight to the bus stop and I had to wait 18 minutes till the bus was supposed to come. In this 18 minutes it started to rain :( and I then had to wait 15 more minutes so insted of coming at 4:58 the bus came at 5:15. grrrrrr! makes me angry, I'm so used to having a car that waiting for the stupid bus makes me mad!
Just now I went to Walgreens and one of my roommates wanted to buy cigerettes and when she went to buy them the women asked for my Id as well as hers. Not knowing the age I just told her that I wasn't of age and so then Cathy couldn't buy her smokes. The women also told me that she could tell that I was not of age. We left walgreens and walked not even 50 steps to the Chevron and Cathy went in and bought her smokes and as we were walking away I asked "how old is the age to buy cigerettes?" Then we realized that it is 18! so the stupid Walgreens lady thinks that I'm not old enough to be 18. I guess thats kinda a compliment, but right now I sorta want to walk back over there and shove my Id in her face, that in fact I'm not underage!
Tomorrow morning I must be at the bus depot at 6 am, so I need to eat dinner and relax now, Goodnight family!

Welcome Home! (My new favorite saying - I must say this to all the guests coming into the resort)

So today I was trained on Greeter which pretty much does exactly what you'd think. I greet the guests as they come in to the resort. I am pretty much resonsible for keeping the drive way clear so that the Magical express buses can come through to drop of other guests. For the last two (working days) I have been at Old Key west then tomorrow and the next day I'm at Saratoga springs.
Also tomorrow there is a cast party at the Treehouse Villas which is a resort opening in early June - the first I believe. They are part of Saratoga Springs! They are raised off the ground and look pretty cool, but they aren't open to the public yet and we are going to have our party there how cool! I will post all about that tomorrow after the party - well i'm going on my lunch break so i'll post once I'm home.
I work 40 hours this week and 40 hours next week, and right now it is dead, so I can only imagine my schedule once it picks up! Anyway not loads to tell today! Here is a fun guest story:

So this guest came up to my trainer yesterday infroming her that a women was yelling about so smoke coming fro her room. So my trainer went to get the manager. They went to the room and found the source of the smoke. All the burners of the stove were on and there was a cardboard box on top of the stove!
Why would you ever need all the burners on and then we wouldn't you turn them off, also why would there be a box on the stove?! Some people :P
Hope all is well

Week One+ (I started late, sorry)

So I have started training. I had a trainer named Jeremy and he was great! he is going to become a paramedic - he used to be one but then move to Florida but is now going back to being a paramedic. Anywho He was really nice and helpful, He said that I would be a great fit for the job! Oh ya the job well turns out I'm working dispatch and greeter @ Saratoga springs and Old Key West resorts. They are both Vacation club resorts, lots of repeat vistors - i probably won't see any of them though. So I started training dispatch. (I still have no idea what exactly a greeter does thats tomorrow) I dispatch the bellmen to the bell service calls that I get for checking in or out. Also the resorts are huge, so people checking in get rides from the bellmen to thier rooms and I have to organize where each bellmen needs to go. It's very much like Sean's job as I stand at the front of the hotel and everyone yells at me if something goes wrong. So thats my job.

So far I have been to hollywood studios and Epcot! But I have spent little amount of time in both as I haven't really had to much time to devot to the free parks I get to explore. I have bee to both water parks though - right now we get into the them for free only for may though so I have gone to those so that I can monoploize on the free-ness of the water parks. The are both great - typhoon lagon was better I think. Maybe I think that because of the TERRIBLE sun burn that I got at Blizzard Beach. Typhon has this amazing wave pool the wave is just huge and amazing :)
I've met some pretty cool people so far and hopefully I can make some lasting relationships.

I have 82 days left in the program. In some ways, thats not enough in otherways it is way to long to be away. Oh well!

Mommy & Daddy - I am starting to realize that I miss all the food that you cook for me and all the groceries that you buy for me. I sucks trying to do it on your own especially since I'm saving and haven't been paid yet, Oh well. I want to say thank you daddy for cooking me dinner all the time, i already miss it :). PS I have been getting reviews of all the resturants that we can eat at while your here.

I love you Family - will write soon!
